Golf mk7 / Re: What have you done to your MK 7 today ?
« Last post by rowlers on 01 April 2026, 20:07 »cleared handbrake faults. Faults cleared handbrake toggled off/on and it is now happy, but can't be doing this every time I get in it...
So looks like I've got some investigations to do.
Left had side handbrake is failing to release properly. No heat getting generated so don't think it is sticking. Hopefully motor just not releasing quickly enough..

Golf mk7 / Mis Fire cylinder 2 - TCR
« Last post by mcmaddy on 01 April 2026, 19:43 »Got in the car to come home from work tonight and idle was lumpy and then further along the road the car started mis firing. Pulled over and plugged my obd11 in to find mis fire on cylinder 2. Are coil packs a warranty item or am going to have to buy a new one myself? Going to swap coil packs in the morning and see if the mis fire moves.

I thought that the black Warmenau wheels were “simpler” to produce than the silver/black ones…
It's this forum:
https://www.motor-talk.de/forum/gti-50-jahre-jubilaeumsmodell-2026-t8175078.html?page=168
I believe this is the German Pistonheads like forum, it's very active.

Golf mk8 / Re: Avon calling!
« Last post by Dav3smith on 01 April 2026, 15:16 »Bong update,Prob a bit late for you but have you considered the all in plan? I've just taken it out £960 ish, for two years. That is for two services, two MOTs and two years extended warranty with roadside assistance. It's a no brainer if you're planning on keeping the car. Personally I think it represents great value, hence why I took it out.
Took mine in for a service on Monday, vw apparently not aware of any issues after the update but will log my concerns, pretty sure thay also did a software update and not had any issues since 🤞, also quoted £400 for a new ststeering wheel so well see what happens next (out of warranty btw)

I've been following the Germany forum, and from approx. page 100 onwards you can see many Germany and other EU customers have had delays due to the Black Warmenau wheels. It's a rather strange bottleneck because it's the default option on the PP car, and on the Black Edition Golf R so you would believe they have sufficient stock. In any case, I ordered with the sliver Warmenau wheels and had it double checked with the dealer - I didn't want the car to come with Black Warmenau wheels by mistake.
I only really considered about lots of stone chips, which would be evidence on a green car. Still debating it, it's a lot of money. It'll either PPF the whole car, or no PPF rather than having parts done so it won't be visible.
Congrats Garwen! You're probably part of the very first UK customers getting the car!
