Hey guys. New to the VW family but not the VWAG group (Audi A5 B9) ! Purchased my MK8 Golf R-Line in November '23 and absolutely loving it so far. Got it fully optioned out at a deal I couldn't refuse! A lot planned on it's modifications and hoping fellow members can help out on what I should get done!...

Hi guys,


I've been a Golf MK8 owner for a few months now, and the car is great overall. However, there are a few features I think are missing, especially given that they are standard in other brands at a similar price range:

Hi all, just wanted to ask everyone a question.

I have had the
mk8 r wagon on order for some time now, its due next month ( Lapiz blue sun roof and HK Audio), me and wife have always wanted a golf.
Other priorities have arisen since then for example we now have a 6month old...

It is now official, the Mk8 is the last ICE Golf so enjoy it while you can.

Hello all, recently got my mk8 Gti and loving it.
Have not seen too many around Brisbane yet

Up for sale is a brand new set of VW 18" Richmond wheels with Bridgestone Potenza 225/40R18 tyres from a MK8 GTI.

Selling them for my dad, as he picked up a MK8 GTI recently. He ordered a different set of wheels from VW, so these were taken off prior to delivery and are brand new....

I just receive my new Golf R.

My first impression about the car: it is even better that I was expecting! It is really amazing and everything that you heard about driving the Golf R, it is true!

My complain is about the UX. I am not talking about the screen or the touch elements...

Hi All, anyone that has a MK8 what are your thoughts on the infotainment system? What are the positives and negatives. Been watching a lot of videos on YouTube and they all seem to be negative so interested to hear from people that actually have a MK8. Weighing up whether to stick to a 7.5 or 8. Thanks...

Just wondering if anyone else that has a MK8 Golf GTI can tell me what speed their car idles at after it was warmed up and stopped at traffic lights for example.
On my 40min commute with a number of longish traffic light stops, it doesn’t look like it’s dropping below 1000 - 950rpm. This...

Andrew from Volkswizard has posted an excellent video (as usual), related to mk8 myths. Even I learnt a new trick (tapping in the blank area below the home button).
As for his method of increasing the cruise control speed (by 10kph), I just swipe up on the haptic touchpad.

Hi all,
we purchased a new MK8 GTI, and the AM radio doesn't work and VW Australia won't fix the issue.
They blamed bad reception, which is a BS as all new models have the same issue.
To say I am happy is an understatement! Paid $65K for a car that is great to drive but lacks the basic...

Does anyone know if we will be getting software updates for MIB III Discover Pro screens in Australia? Our Golf MK8 R-Line is on 1803 and I think Europe is slowly releasing 1810. I contacted VW Australia and they gave me a link on how to update the map, they were a bit confused by my request and then...

Maybe it's just my taste but I can't see any OE wheels on any Mk8 variant (Golf, Life, RLine or Gti) that I don't consider to be ugleee.

Hi all

Picking up a Nov 2020 MK7.5 Golf R Estate/Wagon in deep black on Monday. To say I'm very excited would be an understatement!! Being a dad, I'm looking forward to having the best of both worlds with an R Estate/Wagon in terms of performance and practicality.
