Golf mk8 / Re: I’ve got a new one!
« Last post by nsax_8.5_CS on 05 January 2026, 22:52 »
Ive had this error for over a week now, multiple times a day. Checked all lights and all bulbs ok. Is intermittent but keeps returning. No obvious moisture in lights. Dynamic indicators stop working all round when error present. Seems to be emanating from rear left light.

Its booked in for 1st service so will have them take a look, but curious whether anyone has any ideas? Software up-to-date on car (no OTA updates available). Any comments welcome. Cheers

I did some research when I seen them. I THINK they are to check tyre wear

Golf mk7 / Re: Battery low voltage

2013 gti here with stop start coded out for many years still on the original  EFB battery and it’s healthy ! Drive the car more to give it a good recharge. If you’re only doing short trips your battery will be toast in 3-4 years. My wife also has a golf and she’s on her 3rd battery on a 2016.

Cars and parts for sale / 4 x Mclaren Super Lightweight 19" wheels (will fit Golf)
« Last post by Tiglon on 05 January 2026, 15:11 »
Full set of 4 very rare front (the rears are too big for VAG, so you need four fronts) Mclaren 570S super-lightweight wheels - will fit many VAG models (VW, Skoda, Seat, Audi) including Golf. Happy to help check if they'll fit your vehicle.

These are the forged wheels that were a £10,000 Mclaren extra when new. Incredibly light (about 7.5kg each) and strong.

All 4 wheels are 19 inch/8J/ET32.5
Bolt pattern 5x112
Centre bore 57.1mm

All come with 235/35/19 Pirelli P-Zero (PZ5) tyres fitted in 2025 and used for approx 5,000 miles. Ranked first in tyrereviews .com "Best Performance Tyres for 2025" test.

No known cracks or other structural defects. Happy to provide more photos/closeups on request.

Bought these in 2025 (took months to find all 4) and ran them on my Yeti over the Summer (they fit perfectly) - back on winter wheels and tyres now. I've seen a set on a Skoda Superb before and they looked brilliant.

Could do with a refurb if you want perfection, but they're very presentable as is.

Happy to meet part way or deliver depending on location. Happy to answer any questions and provide additional photos on request.

£1,950 based in Wiltshire.

Wear indicator I think?  Same on all 4 tyres.  Think the outer side more worn than inner. So maybe needs a 4 wheel alignment aswell

They look like tyre plugs, meaning the tyre has has 3 puntures  :shocked:

Hot bot syndrome!

Most of the vehicle’s settings automatically moved from one car to the next which saves fiddling through menus on the dealer forecourt.

And you’re right, the steering wheel gets warm rather than hot in the refreshed model which is a positive.

Tyre pressure on 3 tyres was 34 PSI

1 tyre I couldn’t remove the cap. Prev owner put on metal VW ones and it’s stuck. Great 😂

Are you sure you aren't self-warming the seat Exonian  :laugh:

I've definitely noticed some subtle differences in the 8.5 compared to the 8. For me, I think the steering wheel doesn't get as "hot" as it did in the MK8. It only seems to get a bit lukewarm in the new car, even when it's at the full setting.

Both my seats and wheel do come on automatically these days though, I am fairly certain that setting to have them come on when temps are low (below 11?) is still there in the menus.
