I bought a set of these arch Guards in carbon twill. FYI Members do need 25 posts to be able to View Group Buys! Promise I'll post pics when I fit them 👍

Add me to the interested list also please @Booth11😎

OBD11 Codelist Golf MK8 I've included both the original (In German) and an English translation. It's a pretty comprehensive list, all credit to n3oka on the golf8gti forum. Usual disclaimer, any changes you make are at your own risk yadda yadda.

We have three different PLANS: BASIC, PRO, and ULTIMATE.  If you buy the device only you will get the BASIC plan, this plan gives you access to basic functions (performing a full scan, checking live data, clearing fault codes, etc.) you do not get access to the advanced functions like coding, adaptations, basic settings and other. This plan is unlimited and never expires, you can use the device with this plan and you do not need additional subscriptions. Also, you are able to perform One-Click Apps for credits with this plan.  If you have the device and want to get access to more advanced functions like coding, adaptations, basic settings, etc. you can upgrade to a yearly PRO plan, this plan is valid for 12 months and you will need to extend it after 12 months. Of course, if you decide to not extend the plan you will be left with the BASIC plan and BASIC functionality. One-Click Apps are also performed with credits, no credits are included in the packs and they are purchased separately. (PRO pack is the same, but when purchasing the PRO PACK you get the device and the plan with it)  Lastly, there is the ULTIMATE plan, with the ULTIMATE plan you get all the functionality that you would get with the PRO plan, plus the ability to check RAW data and you get access to One-Click Apps builder where you can create your own One-Click Apps, this plan is also limited to 12 months and later you need to extend it. Also, with the ULTIMATE you get access to One-Click Apps without credits, this means you do not need to buy additional credits to perform One-Click Apps on VAG group vehicles.  You can find more about our plans and all the available functions HERE: https://obdeleven.com/en/content/24-subscription This is the latest official information provided by OBDeleven. Sorry if this is the wrong thread @Booth11 so please move to where is best.

Thanks, sounds like another VW tax!

@Booth11 No Akra or PP unfortunately, as you say you can't have it all and it was hard enough trying to find one with my list of must haves! Photos will go up once I've had a chance to wash it properly, maybe even some polish and wax if I can get a break in the weather long enough. I forgot I've also got the Maxton '3D' spoiler and will get it fitted when it's on getting the roof wrapped black. Sent from my CPH2415 using Tapatalk

Hopefully an easy question, what are these called? It's just the R logo, like a clear badge that sits on the edge of the rim on Estoril's. Trust me I've searched everything and can't find them online, a VW part number or aftermarket eBay link would be great! I have 1 missing and it's annoying me! Thanks in advance 🙂

So, after having sold my MK7 R in March 2023 I then bought a BMW M135i (F40) Great build quality and comfortable car, well specced. My other half just sold her TTS, she's now got the BMW and Ive just bought a MK8 R, I knew I'd be back! [emoji41] Some details on the car: 2021 with 18k miles Lapiz Blue Black 19" Estoril's Nappa leather seats Pan roof DCC HK Audio Discover Pro Nav Winter Pack Rear Camera Mods in the post Forge spacers Proram panel filter Red stuff pads HEL braided brake lines Black mirror caps Stage 1 ECU/TCU *EDIT* I've already fitted a gas bonnet strut, it had an engine cover fitted when I bought it (no outstanding recalls with VW) Can I safely assume that's a revised cover that I have? There is a sticker on it with a date of August 2023 IIRC

Hello mate yes you can code them out, plenty threads on here: https://www.vwroc.com/forums/topic/14041-disconnecting-flaps/ https://www.vwroc.com/forums/topic/30264-exhaust-flaps/ https://www.vwroc.com/forums/topic/21844-obd-eleven-exhaust-flaps-2017-app-instructions/ https://www.vwroc.com/forums/topic/31715-exhaust-flaps/ There are probably another 3 topics here about it, just search the forum. If you want to keep it stock you can get an actuator on eBay or a breakers or maybe someone on here can help you out. Sent from my CPH2415 using Tapatalk

You will also need a release bearing and very possibly a new flywheel but that will depend on what extent it's worn which will only be evident when the clutch is removed. I would also recommend getting an upgraded clutch rather than an OE replacement such as this kit (I have this kit installed) https://www.awesomegti.com/shop-by-car/volkswagen/golf-mk7/clutches-and-flywheels/rts-performance-smf-clutch-twin-friction-clutch-kit-golf-7-r-gti-cs-s3-tts-leon-cupra-octavia-vrs/ Fitting can be expensive due to labour time (up to 6 hrs) a competent workshop that's done it before may charge only 4 hrs. From memory I paid about £250 ish for fitting.

Here are some pics for reference. They were 235/35/19 on my Scirocco also available in 18" apparently.

I had the NGK in mine prior to stage 2 and I believe these are the stock plugs, never had any problems with them at all. Only advice is don't overpay for them! You can get a set of 4 from Amazon for £41.86 Certain performance sites want £70 for them! NGK PLFER7A8EG 94833 Laser Platinum Spark Plug Pack of 4 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07S7Z4HVV

Fresh plugs won't do any harm but normally if just stage 1 is not needed but as always ask your tuner what they recommend.

If you don't want to use a hairdryer you can also try warm soapy water. I've removed stickers and the actual R badge from the rear of mine using a hairdryer without any problems, don't let it get so hot you can't touch it. I've got an extension reel so it's not a problem to get it out to mine.

Hairdryer, take your time. There may be glue residue left once it's off which should come off easily with tar and glue remover.
