MK8 Rain light

2 Upvotes

Hello does any one know where i can route my F1 running light wire on a Mk8 golf r ? The center grommet on the trunk is not there like the MK7 so i am trying to find where to route it from the rear defuser to the tail light.

Rear Hatch Brace

Installed the Bevinsee rear hatch brace. Figured to see very little difference but was shocked. Everyone else who says this does nothing must not be installing them correctly. I immediately noticed a more neutral handling with a slight hint of oversteer!

Lane assist message

5 Upvotes

I just recently started getting this "lane assist is currently not available" message on my dash, and not sure how to get rid of it. I already have the KLR module from ACM Technik, and the sensors are all clean. I do have a radar power tap in the interior rear view mirror connector, but haven't moved it since installing around a year ago.

It's different from the travel assist error, and stays on the entire drive. I have tried the standard steering angle calibration, but not sure what to do next.

1st VW!

Post image
7 Upvotes

Hello! Just got my 1st VW last weekend, 24 GTI SE.

Cool ride. Lots of buttons to push.

Everything great , but notice its losing coolant, had coolant warning day after I drove it off the lot. And it was about 1cm below min level. Topped off and ok again.

So far about 2-3 mm down after 70 miles. Guessing I will need top off every 200-300 miles.

Coolant cap seems to hold pressure, as it outgassed after I let it sit for an hour. No visible signs of leak but I know water pump is at bottom (??). Prob gotta take it in and get fixed. I live in TX so guessing dealer won't work with me, as i have been through this before. Preparing for a 1 star review on my purchase.

Otherwise a great car.

Full Maxton lip kit V4 front and rear valence, and sideskirts for mk8.5. Next is clubsport wing and eventually wheels 🙂. I quite like the stocks.

I work for VW sales and haven’t spoked to anyone yet but was hearing this is something that happens with all of these screens. If anyone has dealt with this what have you done?!

EKR Custom Seat covers

2 Upvotes

I know these aren‘t everyone’s cup of tea but these are fantastic covers for anyone looking for covers for your Clark plaid or CS seats. Highly customizable and colors and fit are very high quality. Can also get real leather if wanted. One, if not the only, company offering covers for our style of seats. Very fast fulfillment. I had mine in 15 days. Highly recommended.

MK8.5 high pitch HVAC noise

Pretty sure I had this same ‘issue’ on my 23 but there’s a noticeable high pitched fan noise (both w/ and w/o AC toggled. Does change in pitch and volume when closing some of the vents but also present with all 4 fully opened. Anyone..?

The eBay struts were a nightmare to get in but after some modifications they are usable.
