Mk7 Golf GTI Discussion Thread

If you can save 4-5k off recommended price then you've done pretty well.

Hi

Asking on behalf of a friend.

They bought some OEM Golf R LED tail lights off a wrecked Golf R. His car is just a base GTi.

With the LED lights be plug and play? Or will they need a conversion lead?

I'm inclined to believe that a lead will be required. But not 100% sure.

They should be plug and play. Quite easy to install Google Deutsche auto parts YouTube video on how to install the lights. Try it ! If they work happy days if not, it may need a cable and or VCD tweak but I am pretty sure it's plug and play!

Coming up to the 1st year service.

VW charge $390.

Ultratune $320.

Much closer than Polo GTI service costs.

Might just stick with VW for the first 3 years, & then go to Ultratune.....

I wouldnt let Ultratune touch my new car...you are in Melb and there are so many Euro specialist mechanics with good feedback from forum members.

Never considered one of the Euro specialists.

Is there a thread with recommendations here?

Just looked for one in my area - Exceltune - Our Services

Might give them a call tomorrow.

Thanks.

Lol. Guess I've been lucky for the 4 services I used them for the Polo GTI. They were a lot cheaper/convenient than dealers too.

Just called up Exceltune today & they quoted me $350-$400, so it'll be close to VW pricing.

Might call up a few others during the week. Any recommendations for N-W Melbourne?

Hi guys,

Hope you guys can shed some lights here..

My brother wanted to get a standard GTi and was quoted $45.5k driveaway with DSG and no option.

Is that a good price?

Thanks in advance!

Assume that's a current MY17 car?

It's not bad.. but there's definitely room to move that to $44k odd. Maybe less if it's a bad month.. or a good month and bonuses are in play. :)
