Listen to Umai Naaaa!!!!!
Makes sense. But you'd think the engineers would have noticed that and worked out a way to mimic that, rather than simply moving the shift points. There must be a good reason why they programmed...
Yes, thanks. I think the oil consumption improving was pretty well established, especially in low mileage cars.
I just thought it was interesting that it would still make a difference in a car...
If you too are still having problems with oil consumption, read this.
At 75000 km, I decided to try an experiment and drive only in manual mode.
Perhaps not surprisingly, given Gav's...
Thanks for that. Amazing. So was the stability thanks to the computer or operator?
Wow. That is very impressive footage. What a difference compared to my 80$ drone. How does it remain so stable? It's like there was no wind. I have to constantly trim my drone to fight the wind. ...
Mine has certainly crept up over the years, but I couldn't pin it to a particular service.
Oh, and performance Golfs have a much longer history and much more robust internals. I don't believe that because your tuner can tune an R, that tuning your car is necessarily safe. Not comparing...
In light of your most recent posts, regarding all the inherent problems with the pistons in vehicles of our generation (among other things) ... Aren't you worried about pushing it?
Some time ago,...
Yep, checked today. Indeed the fuel is E85. I shall keep my Polo away from it, as suggested.

I didn't look closely enough to see if there was ethanol, but it was well advertised on most of their pumps.
The closest track I can think of is Lakeside, 45 minutes away, at least. Surely that's...
Speaking of wastes of money, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that our local servo... Which used to be a Caltex, but is now a United... had a pump of "Racing Fuel", 105 octane.
Would there be...
Hopefully. It's been so long since I got to stretch the little Polo's legs! Was really looking forward to it!
My wife kindly reminded me of a previous commitment. I'm afraid I am out. Sorry.
No worries. Understood. I suspect he'll be happy to come along as a passenger. These Happy Laps are a known quantity, which is why I thought he would appreciate it. Unless I am mistaken, the other...
He's a very considerate fellow, more likely to get out of the way on the straight.
In any case, he's pretty reluctant (warranty, insurance, etc etc). Maybe it's best he just comes along for the...
His GT-R is an R35, so all wheel drive. Besides, being so new, I doubt he would push very hard...

Also, how strict are we with Euro only? Would a mate with a GT-R be welcome?

I'd like to join again, too, please!

Looking forward to seeing the results of this! Will the engine components be able to take it? You never had your pistons replaced, did you? Following with interest!

The intent of the factory software, I believe, is to maximise fuel efficiency. I think it's important to mention that the trade off for each of these solutions is reduced fuel efficiency. So you...
Or, you could think of it this way. Assume $75 per 5 litres of VW approved oil, or $15 per litre. Assume you top up with 1 litre every 2000km. If my calculations are correct, you will need to...
Hi, am interested in upgrading to a 2nd hand Golf R.
This one : 2012 Volkswagen Golf R VI Auto 4MOTION MY12.5
Is for sale locally. Has APR tailpipes and an ECU upgrade.
Surely the...
Seems the name has changed here as well - I can't find Ultra Extra any more, just Ultra ECT. I hope the formulation is the same, because, as mentioned, it lasts the longest in my vehicle.
BTW, I will second the notion that Shell Helix Ultra Extra lasts longer than the others I've tried - VW Long Life (was Castrol at the time), Fuchs Titan something or other, and Castrol Edge something...
