Volkswagen Golf GTI (Mk7) 2013–2017 Performance Parts & Upgrades
The Mk7 Volkswagen Golf GTI was sold in Australia from 2013 to 2020, including the 2017 Mk7.5 facelift, with the 2.0L EA888 turbo engine driving the front wheels. It sits on the MQB platform it shares with the Golf R and Audi S3, so many engine and brake parts cross over. This page lists the parts we stock for the Mk7 GTI, including APR intakes, intercoolers and Roll-Control suspension, COBB Accessports and fuel parts, LEYO downpipes and blow-off valves, Wavetrac differentials, Borla and Scorpion exhausts and Alcon, Brembo and Paragon brakes.

Choosing the Right Part
- Mk7 or Mk7.5: most engine and suspension parts fit both, but lights, trim and some tuning products differ. Check the title, or shop the Mk7.5 page.
- GTI or Golf R: the GTI is front-wheel drive, so rear suspension, rear brake and drivetrain parts made for the R's 4MOTION system won't suit it.
- Manual or DSG: Wavetrac diffs and bolt kits are made for a specific gearbox. Check the gearbox code in the title.
- DCC: cars with adaptive dampers (DCC) need a matching coilover kit or the APR DCC control unit upgrade.
Installation
Have a qualified workshop fit suspension, brake, drivetrain and engine parts. Get a wheel alignment after any suspension change, and bleed and road-test the brakes after brake work. Intake, turbo and exhaust upgrades often need a tune; ask us if you're unsure.
