Hi - just picked a mk7.5 DSG GTi, looking forward to getting out in it after previously having had an S3 a few years back.
Expecting to take a visit to RTech for DSG/ECU Stage 1 but first job is a tow hitch as it replaces the Peugeot!

Welcome, I’m a newby here as well. The Golf looks a tight fit on the BJ Clubman! I can recommend the Wesfalia removable towbar, fits perfectly in the cutout your bumper should already have and is invisible when removed.

Yes a bit cosy on the trailer!
The Westfalia detachable one is out of stock (manufacturing issues) so went with Oris which fitted really nicely in the existing cutout.
Towhitch, F&R dashcam, tracker all fitted, maps updated so making progress.

Yes, it was out of stock when I wanted one as well, that was during Covid though! At least you’re sorted and getting the jobs done.
I updated the maps on my 2019 estate easily enough (though it took ages) but couldn’t for the life of me get it sorted on my other Golf. In the end I bought a new card from a guy that sells updated ones online, £30 but saved me hours on the computer!!

Good Evening All,
I’ve just purchased a ‘67 2017 Golf GTi Performance so I thought I’d pop by and say hello.

Hi, I'm new here, just thought I'd say hello! I bought my GTI this time last year and I've loved it so far! Since then I've just recently had to have the thermostat & pump changed due to a coolant leak, and a rear bearing and sensor change, other than that it's been a dream!

My good mate who also owns a couple golf's advised me to sign up on here to join a community on any thoughts and advice, being my 1st GTI.

I need to get round to doing some decent images but there are a couple quick snaps below..

Cheers 😁

Welcome!

Very nice 3 door, especially in white it really sets the black and red off well:wink:

I’m new here too.  Been looking for a car for about 2 years without knowing what I wanted.  Until now, I’ve always had Fords. 
Had looked at Golf R, but wasn’t particularly impressed with the understated styling and could never find an unmolested GTI with PP etc.
Anyway, walked round my local VW dealer and found a Mk7.5 GTI with 27,000 miles on a ’18plate.
Deal was done.
Impressed with the car.  Can’t understand why there’s no owners handbook, and I can’t get the handbook online against the chassis no.  I’m sure I’ll survive.
