Problem with a new GTE 8.5

Does anyone have also a rumbling issue with the GTE 8.5? When i go around 80 km/h i feel the steering wheel shaking, checked tires and such at deslership, everything was good.
The harder i go, the more rumbling i feel in the steering wheel and car itself also.
What should i do? The car has 16.000km milage. Or is this normal?

VW Golf MK8.5 - E-Hybrid

Hello guys!
Owners of Golf MK8.5 E-Hybrid or GTE cause it’s the same (I think) what you can tell me about the car?
I’m thinking buying one, so I need some opinions about that Golf.
I don’t see too much about this model here or in internet in general.
Thank you so much ☺️

Mk7 GTE High Mileage Reliability?

As per the title guys, I'm looking at purchasing a vehicle with almost 160k miles. Its priced decently in my opinion at around £3.8k considering the owner count and options on the vehicle.

What would any fellow owners say are the biggest pitfalls or points to look out for when I go view the car?

Golf-X

golfers — I need your help.
I built Golf-X because finding people to golf with should be easier. Whether you’re looking for a casual round, a competitive match, or just trying to meet more local golfers, Golf-X is made to connect golfers in your area.

Here’s my goal:
If we can get **1,000 active Golf-X users**, I’ll start putting together the first official **Golf-X tournament**.

The idea is simple:
Download the app, create your profile, find other golfers, track your rounds, and help build a real local golf community.
This isn’t some big-company app. It’s being built locally, and the golfers who join early will help shape what it becomes.
We all spend hundreds of dollars at a sport we love. The end goal is to create real professional feeling tournaments for all of us who ever wished to be on the PGA. So what’s stopping us from creating a way to make real cash for doing what we love.

No Adds just building a golf community.

Cyclical vibration above 60mph on Golf 7 GTE 2016

Hey there, so it’s gonna be tricky to explain clearly but I need help diagnosing an issue that the garage said doesn’t exist but I don’t believe they actually road tested it. I have yet to find a trusty mechanic around here, so I figured I could maybe rely on you guys for more details.

I have this weird bell curve like pattern of vibration coming and going, it’s not shaking like crazy but it’s really slowly starting to vibrate, it peaks and slowly stops, over and over again as soon as I’m at 60+MPH regardless of the wheel angle so straight line or curves. I’d say it’s smooth for 1-2 seconds and the vibration pattern lasts 3-4 seconds

I don’t know what part of the car would be moving left/right or up/down like this to create a vibration I’m suspecting something they can’t visually see

Speed warning shortcut

Hi everyone,

Recently brought a GTE, and I've seen that you can add the speed warning onto the favourites bar to quickly toggle on / off, but it does not show up when I edit to add any new favourites. Is this an old feature that has now been removed or am I being stupid?

TIA

What can i do within factory warranty for modding gte 8.5?

I bought a second hand GTE 8.5 with 15.490km on the dash, basically new.
It has a fabric warranty up till 2029 (extended warranty from 2024).
I called Volkswagen and they literally cannot tell me what i can do in the Netherlands with modding the vehicle within warranty.
I used chatgpt and it said if i leave the exhaust alone, just the end dampener i can change to a GTI look with diffuser and leave me mid exhaust alone so it is still a normal GTE with environment laws and such, see the photos for those 2.
I already made an appointment for that.
Chiptune is a no go since it will negate the warranty or something..

Anyone got some tips?
