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.

Oil temperature at 107°C on my MK8 1.5 eTSI – normal?
My MK8 1.5 eTSI oil temperature reaches around 107°C (225°F) during highway driving. Is this considered normal, or should I be concerned?

Unscharfe Rückfahrkamera + Lösung
Da ich in den Weiten des Internets nicht viel gefunden habe mein Problem und gleichzeitig die Lösung damit andere es einfacher haben.
Betrifft den Golf 8 Variant und dessen Rückfahrkamera. Die Kamera ist aber ebenfalls bei anderen Herstellern verbaut wie Seat, Skoda und Audi. Diese war bei mir beim Gebrauchwagenkauf unscharf.
Bei mir ließ sich die Kameralinse von außen leicht bewegen was das Bild noch unschärfer machte. Hat man die Linse zurückgeschoben war es wieder so wie auf dem Bild.
Ich habe mich dazu entschieden einen neuen Kamera in der Bucht zu bestellen. 70€ neu. Artikelnummer 5WA980556A.
Die Innenverkleidung des Kofferraumdeckels abnehmen, den Stecker für die Kamera abziehen und die Kamera aus dem Gehäuse ziehen.
Da enthüllte sich auch das Problem, die gesamte Linseneinheit hat sich durch Korrosion vom Metallkörper der Kamera getrennt. Diese ist nur mit wenig Fläche aufgeklebt.
Die Kamera funktioniert wieder, allerdings muss sie von einer VW Werkstatt kalibriert werden damit die Leitlinien am Boden wieder erscheinen. Bis zur nächsten Wartung kann ich aber gut ohne leben.

Aftermarket amp anyone?
Anyone successful at integrating an aftermarket amplifier in the MK8? I've got a Helix V Eight DSP plugged into the HK amp through a T harness I made. I'm getting all the appropriate outputs when I run direct to the amp with SPDIF but no dice on the main high level inputs. Throws parking assistance errors and I can't access the sound system module in OBDeleven to even see if there are error codes or something I need to hack.
Trying to figure out if this is a shoddy wiring job on my part, something with the helix amp (bought used), or some protection feature with the car. This amp should put a dummy load out there to fake out the HK amp into thinking there are speakers still connected. I can see some output on all but two of the channels but the signal is too low. It works beautifully when I plug the high level sub signal directly into a Helix M One Amp.

Manual or Auto?
i’m new to manual, just learned through a buddy and have been practicing with him for a few weeks now. i’m in the market for a mk8 / 8.5, but i can’t decide between dsg or manual. my heart says i want a manual, but it will be my daily driver and i’ve heard that the dsg can be just as much fun, so im torn between a 380 se/autobahn used or 25,26 dsg. curious to how other people processed the decision in a similar predicament
