TIP...if you replace your wiper blades whether using service mode...or not (easier using it) put a large thick sheet of cardboard or a nice thick towel on the screen adjacent to the wiper arm position. Once the blade is removed if you should accidentally knock the arm it comes crashing down on the screen with enough force to crack your windscreen ...ask me how I know 😪😪😪

Wiper service mode, fuel cap storage, comfort window open/close and mirror dipping has been on Golf since Mk4 since late 1990s, possibly earlier!

I have owned 4 mk7/7.5 cars and I have just learnt new things. Great vid!

Excellent video, unfortunately I knew every hidden feature you mentioned haha but it's still good for others to see, keep it up :)

The windows can also be opened and closed by holding a finger on the handle. 👍

Great video! Good tips that I did not know about it 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

you can set the comfort opening of the windows VIA the key fob, in the windows setting - you can set it to open all of the windows, only the drivers one or, you can disable that feature example: your kid plays with the key and opens the windows, in the meantime the rain is pouring outside. Or another, did you know that if you leave your lights on Auto, and set your wipers on auto as well the lights go ON if it rains :) Or install stronger (at least 800N originals are around 500N) hydraulic Trunk Lift Supports and hold the trunk button for few second the trunk opens by it self :)

Thanks for these tips. Never knew about the wiper service thingy.

Cool. I think I've found all these, but not worked out how to activate the wider service mode till now. Will try this next time to check. As others have said many of these 'features' were on earlier models. There's also an underseat draw on the passengar side. The mk7 GTD is still an excellent car but I wish its rear seats folded the same as the mk4. That said the adaptive cruise, multilink rear suspension, xenon headlamps, better infotainment and more power are huge improvements. There are also plenty of minor ones, but a few steps back, too.

I’m currently looking to buy a mk7 gtd. I’ve owned every other mark of golf from mk1 to mk5 (ok, I’ve missed the 6) and I can’t wait to get back into a golf with a mk7. Such a well designed and thought out car. I’ve loved your videos and glad you seem to have had such a good experience with yours.

Re: front seat drawer - my 7.5 GTI Performance doesn't have one. I asked VW about it and they said that the seats adjust to a lower setting than in the mk7's.

Hi ..Great tips...Just changed the wiper blades from watching the vidio...😊

That’s three I didn’t know about great video thank you I just love my MK7 VW Golf GT 2.0 TDI in my mind probably the best Golf ever built. I’ve had 2 Mk2’s,a Mk4,a Mk6, a Mk6 which was great but I got T Boned in my local Tesco’s Car Park. Car was written off (only done 67k) 11 years old and it was “mint”. Hopefully the Mk7 will last us another 10 years (if I live that long) it’s done 58k and is 9 years old.

Im loking forwqI'm sure this will be my next car. I have a '98 Corolla as my first car and this would be the best option to have the best of both worlds. Thank you for the videos about this wonderful car.

Hi ..Must say thanks for using the on getting into the car...Had a mishap whilst installing a dash cam....Car locked when outside of the car ..Key fob would not responed at all....Used your advice and was able to gain entry ..Using the key...Thank you

You can also program the mirrors not to fold in automatically.Good video.

Looks like you have keyless entry too which is handy if you have your hands full. With the key in your pocket just press your thumb on the small indented line on the handle and the car will unlock. Same for locking.

Does anyone know what those holes/slots on the right of the interior of the glove box are for?

Great video. But.. do you know how to activate a nav map in the golf 7? Myn wont find themor activate the memory card

Brilliant information video The VW Golf are just great cars Excellent episode thank you

hey mate, is this car any good? i want to buy one too but i m kinda scared. idk about the reliability of the car, is it gonna burn my pockets with repairs

Whats the average mpg?

Hove to set number 6!!! To all windows open and mirror is closed!?!?!? I have Mk7 2015 year

i added the drawer to my mk6 Jetta

I dont know if its a hidden feature but i managed to transfer around about 200 albums woth album art on to my car may be a good thing fpr people who dont have android auto available.

Your videos make me sleepy 😄

Not even watched it yet but my guess is every “hidden feature” is clearly listed in the owners manual. Begging the question, how are they hidden exactly? But i’ll watch it anyway. Update, the mk7.5 does have the under seat draw.

Hi Mike yes my 7.5 GTD hasn’t got a drawer 🥲

Cola com uma super colinha isso daí! Na hora que você for andar vai ficar batendo

Great video, needs a better title

For discovery media are some tutorials how to download new codes which can give more features. there are also a couple of chips in the trunk, you can change its height, just lift and pull the floor towards yourself and closer to the rear seats there will be teeth to insert it lower by -1 and -2 levels And many more will not notice but if you need to pull out the spare wheel, then lifting the floor along the trunk box there is a lock that holds this floor is in the raised position. And the upper curtain, which is held on ropes, if it interferes, then it can be folded, it must be disconnected from the trunk lid, filled out from the trunk, unfolded and inserted back as on these 2 rollers on which it was held at the seats, then it can be lifted and pushed so that the curtain is tightly pressed to the rear seats, and then the trunk will not be limited by the curtain in height (sorry for the mistakes I write from the translator)

Car porn at its best 😜 well a surprise for a lot of folk I own the same car the same colour 66 plate but I do no about all them hidden features but it’s great video 👍

I have a 7.5 GTI PP, key battery died no warning, called VW assist out….did I feel stupid🤣🤣🤣😝. Have to say I didn’t know about holding fob to side of steering column till the guy showed me

Embarrassing but I just find out my golf 7 has headlights washer 😅 🫣🫣🫣
