Golf mk8 / Re: GTI Edition 50 first press release
« Last post by JoeGTI on 07 March 2026, 20:14 »
For the Irish lads who’ve ordered / ordering on here…

Have ye noticed that the “Discover Nav” is actually not standard equipment in the Edition 50 here? It’s down on the options list for about €1200. It’s a bit bizarre, considering it’s standard (I think) on most of the Golf range! I realise built-in nav is kinda pointless now anyway, but I wonder does its absence make the infotainment screen a bit strange? The live map is the main “tile” on the Home Screen of my CS.

I’m guessing that VW Ireland may have deleted it in order to get the base price down a bit.

Also, if you spec the PP, are you also forced to pay on top of that for the semi slick tyres? The configurator seems to suggest you do.

Golf mk4 / Re: Glow plugs not working AGAIN

The issue is again at the Relay. Im getting 8v at the fuse box but the relay is not 'clicking' and thus no power is reaching the glow plugs. HOWEVER i hooked the relay up to a variable transformer and it clicks at 5 volts. It also clicks at 12 volts off a drill battery. WTF! is anyone able to enlighten me

I had the same thing on mk8 2023 golf r took earth off battery for 30 mins not had the problem since
 No problems for 6 months now

I did wonder if it could be battery related.   Did you visit a dealer at all for a diagnosis?

Same again today but different place, it seems to be after I have been driving it then stop somewhere and then restart the it!  Anyway this time I got 4 yellow ⚠️ bongs as before. 

⚠️ Error: drive system. Please visit workshop
⚠️ Error: ACC
⚠️ Error: Start/Stop
⚠️ Travel assist currently unavailable

Anyway car runs fine, got home restarted and the errors disappeared.

Called VW anyway and 22nd April before they can book me in.  Probably best if I get it recovered,  honestly!

So I went back this morning and asked the guy at reception if he had a key. Happy to say he was a true enthusiast and gave me a tour of the car.

Very excited to take delivery, hopefully in May.

The seats and steering wheel felt great - VW have done a great job imo.
