Hotter Volkswagen performance models incoming | GoAuto
It seems VW Oz have won a small battle for us. We're no longer considered a suitable market for which to...
Guys ... with more rain over the last few weeks, and more potholes to crash through, I'm just keen to see if any R's with 19's have actually suffered suspension or rim damage from potholes. I can't...
I'd probably go with the dealer regardless of any perceived discounts you might get from the independents. I swore I'd not go to the dealer for services when VWA withdrew the Dynaudio from my...
Would 245's fit on 18x8.5's ? I'm really keen on going wider if I'm going back to 18's, and don't forget the sidewalls will still be taller than stock. Keeping the rolling diameter as close as...
Schmik, man. What goodies does the "Special Edition" come with ? I'm not familiar with the latest models. And what are the main diff's you notice from your Merc ?
I've been stewing over these huge bloody 19's for a while now - more so since I crashed thru only a medium sized pothole in town a month or so ago. The sound was just awful to someone who's suffered...
Guys ... I've seen some clashing reports on the EA-888 and it's fuel system. I'm aware of the carbon deposit problems that occur in most direct-injection-only engines, so I was relieved to read...
I'm glad the exhaust topic came up. In the hatch, are both valves opened full time simply by selecting "race" engine sound in Individual mode, or does that just enact the Soundaktor ?

Being a boatie, as well as heat I was thinking of the weight aloft thing. As if my finely honed sense of car handling and balance would actually notice 10kg or so up there.
Yeah, righto.
Well done, mate. What was your problem with a sunroof ? (I'm not a fan, either)
Anyone getting "Charging slowly" appear on their 'phone when connecting to charge ?
I can recommend Eco Mode. :)
Yep - another contentious topic. Coming from the drainpipe-exhaust crowd in my youth I'm a bit underwhelmed with my res-delete. But if you've not had a noisy car yet, and your expectations are...
There has been some talk on this thread about the ECU requiring a switch out of and back to either Race or Individual with Race sound on each engine restart. I think mine is OK in Individual from...
Mate, as long as they're not Canary Yellow you're good. Not sure how the blue and white would go against a red or black car, though ...
One could take the cynical view that they're looking to create business for themselves. But seeing VAG is paying, woo hoo.
General consensus is you need to change into Sport or Individual Mode with Sports shifting every time you start up to get shifting braps. Just leaving it in Sport all the time isn't good enough...
If you come from the Subaru Drain-Pipe Exhaust crowd, like me - then no. If you've been a quiet, respectable, type driving mild cars around all your life, then yep.
One for the city dwellers with DSG. 'Noticed in traffic yesterday that light pressure on the brake while at the lights (with stop/start deactivated) leaves the clutch engaged. I knew this because...
You'll get them in the GTI and R without a res delete, but apparently only after switching from Normal to Race after start-up or to Individual with Race sound. 'Word has it the ECU resets the 2nd...
Is that the glazing of the cylinder linings ? Or the piston blow by, leading to fuel contaminating your oil ? Or clogging of the inlet manifold and top of the valve heads from the direct injection...
Hey mate ... general consensus is the new batch of synthetics possess great protective reserves beyond even the 15k service intervals, especially if you drive decent distances as it looks like you...
The Mother In Law will do it gladly if she knows it's to test a safety feature !
