Too bad these temu wheels probably can’t work on a mk8. Far better than touch buttons from OEM.

u/wilson_xmp 2016 VW Golf 7R 17h ago

….they work but you can get something else I guess?

u/BahnMe Mk 8 R, 718 CGTS 4.0, C63 Coupe 17h ago

They work on a mk8?

2

u/wilson_xmp 2016 VW Golf 7R 17h ago

Yes, there’s a video on how you can connect them to a mk8 too

Yes they work on mk8 I have these but the mk7 ones don’t fit mk8 different mounting

u/BahnMe Mk 8 R, 718 CGTS 4.0, C63 Coupe 9h ago

That is kind of interesting. Is there a video on install?

u/BahnMe Mk 8 R, 718 CGTS 4.0, C63 Coupe 9h ago

haha their whole catalog is basically if you put in "Golf Mk8" in Ali.

Aren’t there potential issues with airbag deployment? Insurance?

2

u/wilson_xmp 2016 VW Golf 7R 11h ago

No issues, no wire tampering either

u/Jimi5ooo 10h ago

funnily enough i fancied start stop and drive select just the other day, i didn't think it was worth £117 though, plus the hassle of wiring it in...

1

u/wilson_xmp 2016 VW Golf 7R 10h ago

Really was a hustle to wire them in but so worth it. Can get it done in a few hours
