Golf mk8 / Re: GTI Edition 50 first press release
« Last post by Garwen on 08 February 2026, 21:23 »Email off dealer today saying the performance pack will be an extra £800 for the semi slick tyres
Said I don’t want the tyres anyway
Can not order the performance pack with out them
Answer you want to loose a sale in excess of 55k over a set of tyres. Fine by me
Will be on the telephone to Vw uk in the morning
That puts the performance pack at £4500

Golf mk7 / Re: LED Boot Light
« Last post by 2007GTI on 08 February 2026, 17:53 »Looking back I bought a generic brand one off eBay for my boot in 2019 for £3.95, seller not around anyone, but it’s still working fine and no errors.
I would just buy one and cross your fingers, it’s so low voltage unlikely to cause issues.

Golf mk7 / De-condensating headlights
« Last post by Bluest on 08 February 2026, 12:01 »I get a small amount of condensation in my headlights when the weather is cold. Thought id try this to see if I can stop it. I bought some sachets of silica desiccant and.affixed some the inside of the access cover with double sided tape. Will it work? No idea, but I will report back.
