The Official "I have ordered/received my new MK7 Golf" Thread

Yeah, I dunno ... maybe it's sacrilege to drive one up and down the highway to work everyday then track the life out of it on weekends. Or are those guys just making the most of it ? Maybe it's just neglect that'll get us in trouble with our forum friends ?

Judging by the rate you replace your rides I think you'll be rewarded in years to come.

As for me, well that second fill happened last night.

Different strokes for different folks. I bought mine to use for mostly round town running, so lots of short trips and frequent minor bursts of fun (roundabouts, quick takeoffs from traffic lights & intersections/increases in speed limits) once the oil is up to temp. Most of my longer trips are in my van going to dog agility trials.

I won't comment adversely on how anyone wants to use theirs, they spent their money on it so it's up to them how they use it (or not).

I, on the other hand, comment freely - and honestly, that is the stupidest use I've seen yet.

What brand of fuel are you juicing your rides up with @Dutch and @Greg
FYI I have done 1 x Caltex 1 x Shell and 4 x BP plus the unknown 98 from delivery.

I've run solely BP Ultimate for years now - it was based on something, possibly from an old thread on VWW, that gave it the biggest tick of approval.

Whether that still holds true today I am not sure but have had no issues so I will stick with it for now (although it hurts when in Adelaide given the ownership there).

I only run BP in all my vehicles, and have done so for over 10 years now with zero problems. I also keep my receipts so that if I have any problems I can go back to BP and they can pay to fix it.

And I'd be surprised if you didn't have the full ten years worth of receipts still catalogued neatly in a filing cabinet.

Five months to the day that I traded my beloved Mk5 GTI on a new 7.5 Trendline. Five months of regret, wondering what warped thought process lead to that outcome. So to celebrate, I just placed an order for a new GTI! Manual (of course), tornado red with DAP. ETA mid June. Over the moon. Figured life is too short....

Congrats - and good color choice; TR to me is the 'original' hero color on the GTIs.
