Do the 2018 golfs have a GPF?

Do the 2018 golfs have a GPF?

mines an early 2018. The reading suggests it might not, but the later 2018 cars might.. I'm getting it this evening so plan to have a good look round it tomorrow.

 

[davo172]

I've seen, but I'm paranoid about the clutch lol

Trust manual clutches don't stand a map

Change over at that year i think mine was 245 performance March 2018 new reg built feb 2018 didn't have gpf.

 

[Starlet_gt]

Well I've picked it up. I absolutely love it! Not as engaging as the mini, but far more comfortable, deceivingly quick. I think it looks fantastic as well.

 

[Matt Cup]

Very nice mate! 👍

 

[ChrisR]

Dirty and dark picture of the RS3, will have had it 5 years in March.

Still don’t know what I’d change it for today that I wouldn’t have to sell a kidney to afford.

Also still does alright on fuel, this was a 3 hour run down the M4/M5, wasn’t babying it either.

Miss my white GTI, looks great!

Get Royal to re-do your wheel. So pleased with mine.

 

[Flat Eric]

Deposit put down on a Skoda Yeti.
Collect it in the week. 1 owner from new, 80k miles
2litre diesel 140hp.
Should see me right for a good while hopefully.

Looking forward to having a tinker with a car again too

My mate has this van:

It’s remapped and requires a DMF. This is the correct kit, right? It’s not a T5 but the description makes me think it’ll fit.

Transporter T5 1.9 TDi 5 Speed Sachs Dual Mass Flywheel and Clutch Kit

Sachs Dual Mass Flywheel and Clutch Kit for Volkswagen Transporter 1.9 TDI

www.darksidedevelopments.co.uk

It’s in the garage getting some other bits done, and as it’s on 150,000 on the same turbo he is thinking of either getting a new oem turbo or an uprated one. Is there a common upgrade that people go for, without going OTT on upgrading other parts?

I’m not really sure mate 👍

Speak to Darkside?

new kodiaq looks great

 

[Flat Eric]

4 days into Skoda Yeti Ownership. I'm enjoying it so far. Driving position is great, it's plenty pokey enough, can chuck it about more than you'd think too.
Not a bad car overall.

It's booked in for belts next week as these are due now, and it needs 4 tyres at some point as these are aged with cracks in them 🙃

Need to get the berlingo cleaned up this weekend and put up for sale, going to be sad to see it go but needs must.

Lovely. Can't what a mk7 gri with a stick!

What's the story with the wheels?

I've no idea what the first part of your post means lol.

The wheels were an option. 18" Seville.

My thoughts exactly😂

Just meant you can't whack it with a big stick.

Don't even remember that option wheel!

No wiser now 😂

Has Gally McGallister had a stroke?

I don't know what that means?

 

[Gally]

f**k… I think it’s a saying… but Emma just looked at me really weird when I said it to her… maybe it’s a weird Scottish saying…. I’ve had a mare there boys.

 

[jenic]

We're all still none the wiser 🤣

What we want to know is... are you calling my car s**t or not?!

 

[Gally]

No. You can't beat a mk7 gti. 👍

 

[RSRowe]

The steed doing a bit of collection/delivery work.
But let’s just pretend it’s recovering the D5 instead.

 

[ChrisR]

Stuck a CarPlay box in the RS3, more for longer journeys as having access to things it offers will be useful.

Does the job and was easy enough to fit.

Would rather it as a factory fit option, but as mine is a pre facelift with the older MMI system I’d need to upgrade it all to the newer hardware which isn’t cheap, and then you have a mismatch with some of the dash light colours.

Another years ticket with no advisories 😊

I love those wheels.

 

[imprezaworks]

VW experts lets talk annoying rear creaking type noise for the rear of a Passat cc.....

I now have two of these. It's an annoying creaking type noise over bumps. I've had it looked at and he reckons it could be rear subframe bushes or maybe the shocks. I am taking it to another chap who is better at this stuff sometime this week.

It's not bad bad but want to get it sorted before I advertise it. Drives spot on so hopefully can get this put right.

 

[bashracing]

The Headlight level sensor ball joints can cause random squeaks when they start to seize,
iirc the Passat CC has one on all 4 suspension arms, just spray some wd40 in the joint and see if it stops.

 

[imprezaworks]

Thanks mate, will have a mooch in the morning.

 

[imprezaworks]

Ok. A little update on the Passat and think it's been flashing for a while but I've not noticed until tonight lol. The DCC light is blinking and the ride Ive noticed is firm, I'm guessing with the rear knocking the shocks are fooked. Have read it could be a wiring issue stopping them working correctly but I can't be that lucky??

Get an obd eleven

 

[imprezaworks]

I have a scammer, will plug it in tomorrow. Has to be the rear shock that's knackered unless they are stuck in place and just knock, unlikely that lol

 

[SC03OTT]

Scan it. Clear it. Drive it.

Yeah course

Scammer you say 🤔 is that an obd 12 or Colin from a Bangladesh call centre?
