  1. Volkswagen Golf GTE
    Hello, i got my mk7.5 GTE (2018) tuned stage 1 map. But talking with the tuner its seems a bit difficult to deactivate this so called "start and stop". We understood that all the driving modes on the GTE are managed by the DSG itself, and so should be this start and stop system. But there's no...
  2. Volkswagen Golf GTE
    Hey all, I'm new to the forums so apologies if this is something that's been asked before but I couldn't find it. My GTE (I think it's a Mk7 or 7.5, it's a '18 reg) won't start (nothing even comes on on the dash or infotainment). In fact I can't even lock the car even the manual way (flicking...
  3. Volkswagen Golf GTE
    High guys, I've got this issue where the "Error: hybrid system. Stop !" alert comes up only when I left the car parked outside in the sun by pretty high outside temperature (>30°C on a sunny day for example). The alert either pops up when I try to start the car, or a few dozens of meters after...
  4. Volkswagen Golf GTE
    For the past 2 days , my 2016 golf GTE alarm keeps going off randomly and random points of the day. Today, about 20 mins ago the alarm just went off in the staff car park :confused:. Yesterday evening it went off for no reason too. Is this a sign of a bad or dying battery? Just baffles me so...
  5. Volkswagen Golf GTE
    My 12V battery was replaced in Feb 2022. Recently in the past few days. Every day when I first get in the car I get a "Error: Hybrid System. Stop" and the car won't turn on. After a few tries it turns on and everything goes back to normal. Sometimes when it then starts it gives me a warning...
  6. Volkswagen Golf GTE
    I'm debating whether I should get the GTE or the GTI, as the GTE has some considerable advantages with things like fuel economy although I might want to do a bit of tuning down the line and therefore don't know if the aftermarket community is great, hence considering the GTI. Does anybody know...
  7. Volkswagen Passat GTE
    Hello all, I was wondering if anyone here had installed some more powerfull sound systems in their GTE. I have an 1000rms sub and was thinking about changing speakers aswell. So how does 12v battery charging work, does it somehow get power from high voltage batteries if I'm mostly driving in...
  8. Volkswagen Golf GTE
    Hi all, I am getting an intermittent (but mostly present) engine management light on the dash. I've had it checked by a mechanic, and it's stating it is a transmission thermostat open curcuit. I have had a look through some service manuals and have seen no mention of a transmission thermostat...
  9. Volkswagen Golf GTE
    Hello, read a lot of good information here, so I thought I should give some back to the community. I successfully retrofitted PLA 3.0 in my Golf GTE 2015, might be the first afaik. The new features of the system are very well explained here: I had PLA 2.0 from factory, so it was the easiest...

    Hello I am new to this form and this is my first post, Today I received my golf GTE 2016. As this is my first hybrid car I started to check the fluids and saw that one of the coolant reservoirs was just below the minimum mark. Without realizing that this was for the battery I broke the seal and...
  11. Volkswagen Golf GTE
    Hello everyone! I have a Golf GTE mk 7.5 with 17" Seville wheels and want to upgrade to 18" ones as I'd seen them on a GTD and made the car look a lot nicer, I've attached a photo of the GTD. I want to make my GTE look like that but ain't sure if the back end will be the same as it seems my...
  12. Volkswagen Golf GTE
    Hi, I recently (2 months ago) bought a one year old Golf MK8 GTE. It still has factory warranty. Only 6000 kms driven when I bought. When I bought it, it was giving me around 53 kms in EV only mode when turned off AC and heating. Which according to some owners I have spoken is quite good...
  13. Volkswagen Golf GTE
    Hi Everyone! First time posting. Does anyone have experience with a underseat subwoofer in a Golf GTE or in general as I'm thinking of getting one and want to know if it's worth it and would it be easy to install into the standard head unit? Thanks in advance
  14. Volkswagen Golf GTE
    Hi there. I'm considering buying a Golf VII GTE from 2017. I found 2 pontential cars. But one of them do not have the 'battery hold' mode in the mode menu, the other do. (See picture) There is only 8 months between them. Is the mode hidden somewhere else, or did they make models without? If...

    Got in my car this morning normally press the emode button to select a driving mode but today pressing the button isn't doing anything just comes up with the current driving mode won't actually let me select one won't even come up on the middle screen like it usually does with the different modes
  16. Volkswagen Golf GTE
    Hi all. Looking for a bit of advice on a issues I’ve discovered with my rear tyres. I had Michelin pilot sport 4s put on all 4 wheels about a year ago. Only done ~5k since fitting. I noticed a general rumble not long after but given the mileage on the car (currently 75k) I thought it’s probably...
  17. Volkswagen Golf GTE
    Hi I just want to share the story that happened to me yesterday, maybe it will be useful for somebody. I been having GTE for 6 months now, we bought it second hand in Sweden and imported to Denmark. Pretty decent car I must admit, however it is packed with surprises from the producer. That's...
  18. Volkswagen Golf GTE
    Hi all, I’m a little ashamed to say I’m quite late to the PHEV / EV party and looking to hopefully pick your brains and tap into your experience to what I could expect from a Golf GTE, given what I could afford and my commute? I’m looking at a Mk7.5 Advance for under 22k and my commute is 38...

  19. Volkswagen Passat GTE
    Hi, I have owned my passat gte for about 6 months now. I live in Finland and winters can be really cold here. One thing I noticed was engine oil running pretty cold while driving. During summertime my engine oil is about 80-105C°, but when it gets colder (minus C°) my engine oil pretty much...
  20. Volkswagen Golf GTE
    Hi all, Had my GTE just coming up to 4 years now. Couldn't have made a better decision, really happy with the car. Lately (last sort of 6 months or so), I've been having issues with the charging flap - it doesn't open first time when you push to open. The car is unlocked and I have to try...
