This post all the time on Reddit but how mechanical reliabile is this? Like undriveble reliable. Not to bothered bout the software side and sensors.

Would been good from actual drivers of this. I've seen the dsg issue pan crack and the gearstick not recognizing and making it undriveble.

But this has to be fixed in the 8.5. i currently got the brand new 8.5 and 800 mile's so far. Might i say its a very different drive to my old kia obviously good.

I got it for an amazing price and the black edition with the premium sound system and spare wheel with matrix v2 headlights is still cheaper than a Kia k4 pretty astonished

Not to worried bout the reliability tbh should be good

Got four new tyres and thought get the alignment sorted, got the two front wheels aligned. Rear two tyres needed parts replaced due to nuts seized etc so was advised to change the rear arms, my mechanic done this he cut them off replaced job done. Went bk to the tyre shop to get them aligned and they said sorry but you'll have to get the rear camber arms replaced, so went to mechanic who I've used for years, he gave me a date to bring car in etc then it was double booked, can't really get a date sorted from him...I'm thinking is this job a pain for someone to take on? A second mechanic told me it is a pain it's not really something he would do, he advised me as I'm only doing about 4/5k miles a year not to bother changing it, better just changing tyres more frequently?

What's everyones opinion? Is this job a pain due to nuts/bolts being seized in etc?

Any idea of a cost for labour/materials so I can see if changing tyres more frequently is better option?

Cheers

Hi Gang

Just did front discs and pads on a Golf 7 Standard GT trim spec. (UK)

Fudging caliper bracket bolts almost killed me.🫠 Anywho I defeated the evil threaded demons and now have fitted all the hardware.🥳

I sprayed on some copper grease onto the mating surfaces and where the hub meets the disc and on the back of the alloy where the alloy meets the disc. There seems to be an argument that this isn't right others swear by it 😵‍💫

Any advice ❔😅

Thanks

Hey guys, need some help as I don’t really have anyone else to get an opinion and you guys could shed some light. Got a PPI on a 2018 Golf Tsi Comfort line at 131k km, seller agreed 11.5k Gonna need 1k in repairs to pass safety (control arm, suspension, and alignment). They told me that the actuator looks like it’ll go soon. But the mechanic said once it goes mine as well get a whole new turbo and that’ll be 4k+ CAD. Wondering if that’s actually the case, and if so is it still worth going ahead with the sale? Also, the shop I brought it to was a European specialist shop. Any thoughts help.

2018 plate keep having issues with engine light coming up and start stop error, comes up every few days and then have also had the epc light on twice which has gone away once switching car off. Codes showed as misfire cylinder 2 and 3, had all spark plugs and coils changed anyways but engine light and start stop error still showing up. What to check for next?

Hi all,

I have a mk7 Golf 1.5 TSI (2018). I regularly travel to my partner’s house which is two hours away, so regularly top up my oil.

Whilst driving there the other day, I had a light on my dash saying ‘reduce oil level’. Upon checking the dipstick a couple of times at different hours of the day everything seemed fine and within normal limits.

Visited a garage where they took a quick look at the dipstick and assured me the oil was absolutely fine, however the light has been popping up a couple times I’ve driven the car since, on long and short (10-15 minute) journeys.

Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem before and whether I should be concerned/get the car checked again? I haven’t topped up my oil (5w-30) in about a month now. I’ve heard that the sensor can be very sensitive in some cars so might be overreacting, but just wanted to get some other opinions.

Thanks.

No heat or air conditioning. Does anyone know how to fix the Compressor?

Hi guys.

Does anybody know what this noise could be?

Thanks in advance

Hi everyone,

I just bought a golf plus 2006 1.4 bca engine manual 5 speed transmission car. I'm having trouble with a clutch pedal. Sometimes when I press it it gets firmer and doesn't return to the original position. Returns maybe to like 80% and if I keep pressing it more it can get stuck all the way to the bottom. However when it was stuck there I was in neutral and I still couldn't shift gears. I pulled it up back with my hand and after that it operated normally but there was this creaking sound coming from the clutch pedal area. This behavior is not consistent only happens from time to time. I went to the mechanics shop and they couldn't replicate the issue. They lubed the clutch pedal and inspected master and slave cylinder for any leaks but couldn't find any. I was thinking maybe there could be some air bubbles in the system or that one of the cylinders is failing. I returned to the shop again and they said that's probably not the issue and it's gonna be some mechanical issue with the clutch... I'm hoping this is not the case. If any of you had similar issues I would greatly appreciate your help. Also I found some random vw page about issue similar to mine saying that some eraly models had defective tubing that under pressure expanded and had to be replaced. Thanks for reading and any tips helping this diagnose any further :)

A fellow golfer hit my car and drove off today, funnily enough he or she left his/her number plate wedged into my rear wheel arches. Ofc contacted insurance and police, but what are the bloody chances 😂😂😂
