    Definitely look at your service history and check whether the Haldex has been serviced. VW only specifies that the oil is changed, but there is a little screen filter that clogs up with metal filings that should also be removed, cleaned and refitted. I have seen heaps of photos of Haldex cars with 30-40,000km on them and this filter is already full of debris.

    As for R badges, just look on ebay. You will find both genuine and Chinese replicas and you choose whichever you want based on what you are willing to spend.
    Thanks, was advised not to replace the water pump unless it was leaking.

    Ended up getting the oil changed (previous owner got it changed at Kmart/Mycar in May, completely wrong oil used) + haldex service, there was some gunk in the screen filter, have definitely felt the rear engage more in some full throttle applications.

    Now I'm just waiting on clutch to go so I can upgrade it and get a stage 1

    Of course, would be silly to spend $1k+ on something that hasnt broken yet. The waterpump on mine is leaking a tiny little bit, im just keeping an eye on it and will replace it when the time comes.

    Besides the MIB2 radio, is there anything significant that an MY16 car has over an earlier MY14/15 one? I plan to do a MIB2.5 retrofit at some stage, so the easier to upgrade, the better.

    I'm specifically on the lookout for a stock tornado red or candy white DSG R with low kms.

    Hi all,

    New Mk7R owner here.

    Would anyone have recommendations for an R specialist workshop in Sydney?
