Which MK8 parts work on a MK7?!

We put our MK8 Golf GTI beside our MK7 GTI, take parts off of both of them, and see which parts are easily interchangeable! We test steering wheels, seats, subwoofers, undercarriage aero, and much more!

    Holy cow so many comments. I will tell you when you were comparing sound systems. The mk8 has a setting, I can’t remember where, that will turn the Bluetooth volume up. So if you were using your phone or other media device. In my wife’s mk8 I was disappointed in the sound until I found this feature and it is definitely way more amazing than the way it came from the factory. Hope you see this and that it helps. Love the channel!!



  2. @michaelschneider427 on April 25, 2024 at 6:15 pm

    Can you do this again if there’s any updates



  3. @Trohawkk on April 25, 2024 at 6:15 pm

    does his giant ass fit in the mk8?



  4. @ryanw8058 on April 25, 2024 at 6:16 pm

    What i want to know is if a mk7 clubsport valance will fit on a mk7 s



  5. @albertlam1249 on April 25, 2024 at 6:20 pm

    Lots of people in China put the base model golf steering wheel on the mk7



  6. @robbylebotha on April 25, 2024 at 6:21 pm

    Having a Mk7 Gti, I would like to add a Mk8 Gti to the garage but in my country it costs the price of a Merc C43 AMG, which in my opinion is a superior car. The Mk8 is just way to overpriced for what you’re getting

    I wanna know who at VW design department approved the design of mk8!



  9. @jaymhlurbaloyi7813 on April 25, 2024 at 6:22 pm

    Hi, will the mark 8 Goolf steering wheel work on the Sciroco mark 3 since it works on the Golf 7?



  10. @sdbdgfnsdfbr on April 25, 2024 at 6:22 pm

    Any way I can get my hand on the mk8 seats that you pulled out?



  11. @deadskyes69 on April 25, 2024 at 6:23 pm

    i literally want a custom mk7 wheel on my brand new mk8 r i need real buttons again 😭



  12. @user-qt5it1sg4c on April 25, 2024 at 6:27 pm

    proper job ! thanks a lot



  13. @dvddvd1058 on April 25, 2024 at 6:28 pm

    Hi ! Can i in some way make the cruise control work ? I mean did you find some solution like adaptation or hardware upgrade ?



  14. @FRND23 on April 25, 2024 at 6:30 pm

    Does the older golf have ACC?



  15. @lunchboxjoeb on April 25, 2024 at 6:31 pm

    theres no way fender out performed HK ….i refuse to believe it. sound is entirely subjective, i would assume the HK is more accurate, regardless of the "amount of bass"



  16. @rubencorreia974 on April 25, 2024 at 6:33 pm

    Nice video, just one small remark. To remove the Mk8 steering you should use the other 2 holes, much more easier as it applies directly on the iron that lock the airbag. At minute 6:15 you can see it perfectly.



  17. @golfromg on April 25, 2024 at 6:33 pm

    I’d LOVE to have mk8 seats in my mk7.5 R



  18. @tonysain1195 on April 25, 2024 at 6:34 pm

    Mostly pointless video, but some of your best work. That was fun. lol



  19. @michaeljahn4500 on April 25, 2024 at 6:35 pm

    I would be interested If the 8 Facelift steering wheel with buttons would fit in the 8 to replace the Touch buttons.



  20. @jamesedwards1040 on April 25, 2024 at 6:36 pm

    Would the mk8 golf speedo work and fit in the mk7 with the right coding?



  21. @malyk_3844 on April 25, 2024 at 6:36 pm

    Question. Is the only reason that the cruise buttons don’t work because of the touch sensitive buttons? I have a Passat 2018 and I want to swap for the facelift 2019 steering wheel. They both have normal buttons so I hope they are able to be swapped? Please help. Thanks



  22. @rafaljankowski2807 on April 25, 2024 at 6:36 pm

    I would rather swap a few parts from Mk7 to Mk8.



  23. @maloxifym8205 on April 25, 2024 at 6:37 pm

    I would like to install the 8 R seats on my 7 restyling.

    Both seats are manual and heated.

    Is it possible to swap? (p&p)



  24. @Wilba_Beast on April 25, 2024 at 6:37 pm

    19:19 is the best moment

    Thank you for being informative yet so entertaining !



  25. @Eitoon on April 25, 2024 at 6:46 pm

    Will it fit in a MK6?



  26. @Asymptote on April 25, 2024 at 6:46 pm

    2:07 he surely is getting demonitized for this



  27. @ronburgundy4375 on April 25, 2024 at 6:50 pm

    The mk8 interior is trash other than the ability to change the ambient lighting they could have done so much better. So the whole mk7.5 interior in an mk8 and deleting that stupid light bar would be nice



  28. @KarlSchilv on April 25, 2024 at 6:50 pm

    MK7 steering wheel looks better than the MK8, to be honest.



  29. @TheClement402 on April 25, 2024 at 6:52 pm

    What I really want to know is, can I make an adapter and hookup 2 fender subs for extra bass



  30. @erickgeraldo2826 on April 25, 2024 at 6:53 pm

    I never used cruise control



  31. @papayspeanut on April 25, 2024 at 6:54 pm

    I have a full stage 2 kit from my MK7 for sale now that I see things don’t fit



  32. @obi1kendobi on April 25, 2024 at 6:54 pm

    So… can you develop a harness for the Mk8 seat into a Mk7, please? The one thing I’ve always wanted are cooled seats… Please? 😀



  33. @VolklgirlKat on April 25, 2024 at 6:54 pm

    Can you replace the 40th Anniversary (S) Mark 8 SE display (the smaller the one) in the SE computer (the larger one) and get all t he functions + more to work?



  34. @FlowStateNewOrleans on April 25, 2024 at 6:56 pm

    I need some nerd to do a video like this showing what MK 8 GTI parts will fit on a MK 7 Alltrack.



  35. @sergiopassos376 on April 25, 2024 at 6:56 pm

    So first eat glue, then I can swap the lights right?



  36. @aagg6433 on April 25, 2024 at 6:59 pm

    Who cares?



  37. @dytrdr5 on April 25, 2024 at 7:03 pm

    Interested if the front aluminum subframe fits



  38. @nayeemakbar127 on April 25, 2024 at 7:04 pm

    I fitted the new mk8 steering wheel to my arteon 2018. I now have an EPC light on my dash and my normal cruise control (not ACC) is not setting the limit. My taps are getting registered for the cruise control buts not setting the limit and the cruise control icon has an exclamation mark on its top right. Please help out 🙏🏻



  39. @vladmihai306 on April 25, 2024 at 7:05 pm

    now this is what i call a video where the guy actually had to WORK for it, not those phone comparisons where they compare battery life and leave them to run some test automatically.



  40. @mcpaintball on April 25, 2024 at 7:06 pm

    Who cares about the GTI?

    We want TDI on TDI action!



  41. @blackt5041 on April 25, 2024 at 7:07 pm

    Mk6?



  42. @WilfredoCoronel on April 25, 2024 at 7:08 pm

    Is that possible to retrofit on mk5? Or what parts can I use to my mk5?



  43. @user-bo7ui7on8j on April 25, 2024 at 7:09 pm

    Does mk8 steering fit mk6?



  44. @tysonprice on April 25, 2024 at 7:09 pm

    my mk8 didnt come with an engine cover i wish i had one.



  45. @andersonsirolli616 on April 25, 2024 at 7:10 pm

    Should try the fenders, hood, fascia and headlights 😂😂



  46. @DubbaDaveski on April 25, 2024 at 7:10 pm

    Any chance you could check if the wing piece is the same. Somehow mk8 recieved a wing replacment when the mk7 didnt.



  47. @Lv55Jack on April 25, 2024 at 7:10 pm

    What gauge is that in the MK7 vent over the radio ?



  48. @iuopunderstandyourjokes9914 on April 25, 2024 at 7:11 pm

    Will any of it fin on my 18 year old audi a3?



  49. @MrNoMotion on April 25, 2024 at 7:11 pm

    Why don’t you post links to the mods in video the description?



  50. @du3lcitiz3n on April 25, 2024 at 7:12 pm

    here because tomorrow I’m getting a MK8 R to replace my MK7 GTI, I may have to hold onto my MK7 Fender Sub. Lmao
