Golf mk8 / Re: 8.5 Steering Wheel on an 8?

I find I use the bottoms a lot and know my way round the non haptic version without looking, the haptics are just a bit of a faff and not as accurate when using without looking

It is Bognor Motors in (unsurpisingly) Bognor Regis, West Sussex.  If you have a look on their web page now you'll see that same grey Mk 7.5 TCR (with many mods) up for sale for £35k.

Thanks David, I did post the advert in May last year hence the question.
Still under VW warranty but now only until May so I am conscious of that as well.

I appreciate the input

Not me. I actually have no issues with the haptics and prefer them.

Why do you dislike them so much to the point where you want to change?

Golf mk8 / 8.5 Steering Wheel on an 8?

Hey, has anyone tried to fit an 8.5 SW to an 8 to delete the horrible haptics? Bolt on, bolt on and code or does it not work at all?

Thanks

makes for an interesting read, cheers mate.  I'll also post in car audio section as im facing some issues with intermittent sound now and then

I’m not sure too many mk8.5 owners visit the car audio section of the forum so probably worth posting your details of your audio issues here as well.

I've been looking for a few months and would say £19,750 if you were a dealer!

However, since its a private car with no credit facilities or warranty, you will have to accept less.

Here is a vcheck valuation for a 2020 car with 45,000 miles

Main dealer 18,750
Trade average 15,250
Auction 16,100
Private clean 16500

From my experience comparing vcheck with main dealers, they are typically 1000-2000 more.

I missed a 2019 car with 60,000 miles from a main dealer, it was priced at 19,750

Golf mk7 / Good Independent VW required

Hi All,

Can anyone recommend a good independent VW specialist workshop in the Sussex area. Thank you.

There was a guy who owned a TCR, who I watched go around Goodwood a while ago. From memory I believe his first name was Oli
and he owned a garage in the Bognor area of West Sussex, can any of you fill the gaps?

Cheers,
Chas :smiley:

I sold my GTI last year and have a few bits to sell on, one of which is this.

It was fitted to my 2013 GTI and just needed the additional three bolts (included in the sale and in the plastic bag) along with the existing fittings to swap them around. Takes about 15 mins to swap if that.

This is the part number stamped on it: 5Q0825236

Please get in touch with any questions.  Payment by bank transfer please.

Not sure how to price it. Does £45 inc postage to sound fair?
