Golf mk8 / Re: GTI Edition 50 first press release
« Last post by TurboTrev on 21 January 2026, 10:33 »
^^^ Interesting.  As pointed out by volkswizard, no-one seems to have been allowed to test drive one yet, which is very strange.  Hopefully this changed yesterday and we get some youtube videos giving us some "real world" driving reviews.

Golf mk4 / Market value of my car with major changes
« Last post by Van_Golf on 21 January 2026, 10:16 »
Hi, I bought a 1.8T MK4 just over 3-years ago for £4K as it had decent mileage. The plan was to make it a track car and I've done the following engine deletes SAI/N249/PCV/EVAP and installed an oil catch can, upgraded ignition coils and oversized intake pipe and filter. The rear seats have been removed; it has a stage 1 map and I bought a ploy bush kit. Coil overs were added, but the nearside needs replacing. There is also some damage on rear 1/4 and front splitter was ripped off after it was lowered. It runs/drives and was service recently and has MOT until August.

Regrettably, I need to sell it as I can't afford to do what I need to do; because of what I've done, I've been told market value if £175.00 or £150.00 to scrap.

Can someone help and give me some guidance on what a realistic value would with what I have done to it?

There was some sort of official launch / media event for this car in Barcelona yesterday. An Irish car YouTuber I follow was at it, he got some good photos, he seems very impressed.

Cars and parts for sale / VW Golf GTi - 2003
« Last post by MKIVGTI on 20 January 2026, 18:09 »
Hello all,

The time has come to move this on, as my boys have now moved to London for work and it isn't getting used.

We have owned the car since March 2017; there were three previous owners.

It has now covered 233,500 miles and has an MOT until 5th November 2026.

Finished in black, there are a few bumps around the bodywork, as one would expect on a 22+ year old car that has covered the best part of a quarter of a million miles, but it starts, goes, stops and turns just fine and it still has two keys.

Worth noting the headlining has drooped in places, but otherwise the interior is good for its age.

Happy to share pictures if there is any interest.

I am located just south of Oxford.

Offers invited.

Golf mk8 / Re: GTI Edition 50 order thread
« Last post by Hertsman on 20 January 2026, 13:38 »
This to me, is the jealous of those who have ordered the ED50 thread, i know who to point my green eyes at now!

Can see me later in year ED50 spotting and making similar aspersions, :)

Think we be looking to trade in present Golf R in 3 years as hits ten years, so be interesting to see where these are at in price, so remember to order all the goodies for us looking down the road though think it will always be just outside what willing to pay and likely talk self into a Black Edition R for likely less ££

Have always been in camp of if you can genuinely afford it, and want it, you buy it so genuinely happy for those in position to and like Exonian looking forward to seeing them delivered.

Slightly dissapointing that my answer appears to have drawn no comment...

Slapshot, you have joined a UK forum asking US specific questions.

Sirius/XM is a US/Canada only satellite radio service that UK GTI owners will have no access to nevermind knowledge of.

The 40th anniversary GTI you own is also a US only market limited edition.
https://media.vw.com/releases/1715

You should therefore not be at all surprised at the lack of response.

Didn't realise that was all US related!

My apologies. I didn't realize that Sirius XM, and the 40th Anniversary model were both limited to America. I came to this forum expecting somewhat more civil, and intelligent responses than I might have gotten elsewhere. Also, the primary American VW forum is "broken" and you cannot sign up for it without getting an error reply. I can see it's going to be difficult to get any meaningful information about my situation.

Golf mk8 / Re: 8.5 Clubsport and no DCC
« Last post by Gunnsie on 19 January 2026, 22:02 »
I have an 8.5 CS and even with DCC in comfort mode it's definitely on the firmer side for daily driving in the sh!t English roads around where I live (Surrey / South London)

The second biggest thing about DCC on the 8.5 CS is it gives you Nurburgring mode which is beautifully setup for those horrible English roads, but also gives you Manual + gearbox mode which lets you bounce off the limiter instead of auto shifting up

Golf mk8 / Re: Car reminded me to take my mobile? First time this has happened

I’ve never had a voice reminder, but it does display text on the centre screen asking if I’ve remembered everything. As far as I’m aware I’m on the very latest software having just had the major PV4 update at the dealership not long before Christmas.

Finally,after 10 years, manufactured my Footrest cover. Some of you older members may remember I did the stainless Footrests and Seat Inserts way back in 2008. Still got a ton left, keep meaning to do a Auto Jumble at one of the shows.

Anyway, we got a fancy 3D printer to make bespoke parts. First thing I did was find my old CAD dxf for the MK7. Import in SolidWorks. Bit of extruding, create file for 3d and let it go.










Been meaning to get it laser cut since 2016 but quite happy with this.


Very tidy, fancy sharing the STL? :)
