Brilliant. I've seen good things from them on socials. Good to hear some first hand experience. I'll let my mate know, cheers!

Welcome!
How do you find the Etuners tune out of interest? I have a wolfsburg too (tuned), but a buddy of mine with an R is keen on a tune.

Sorry I hadnt seen the report on Drive.com.au - only the VW provided "2017 changes summary" list at the top of the thread.

It's optional, from that report. That's a plus!

It's hardly surprising the facelift has so few extras. When the 2018 model comes out they're going to want to have as many 'new' features as possible to make it worthwhile for current owners to...

Either? No. A tune alone won't fix the rattle unfortunately - It's the downpipe causing the issue. Putting a downpipe on without a tune is a bit of a waste, as you get huge power gains from having...

Interesting that you mentioned that the scheme favours BP. Is that because they offer further discounts on BP, or that's just what's offered?

I work for one of those said fleet companies, and it's highly unusual for any customer to restrict fuel types on a fuel card on personal (salary sacrifice) leases and car allowance situations. Tool...

Here's a video I made after replacing the downpipe (which did fix the rattle in my car). The flex joint sounds like it's the source of the rattle: https://vimeo.com/148324847

Congrats!

There are a two schools of thought on the break-in issue. There are some very knowledgeable people (who know lots about these things!), who say that you should NOT break it in slowly....

I hear ya, but no, the launches aren't as brutal as you might think. The DSG does a masterful job of providing enough slip to prevent drivetrain shock. It's more of a building rush, than a 'snap' of...

Needs more 4WD.

I've gotta say though - the launches with the JB1 in the R are ultra efficient, at the risk of being a little 'boring' since they're so undramatic! That said - less than 4 seconds...

I think it's only the GTI guys who've been able to do it. There's some more room in that area as far as I know.

On an R... no way. Haha.

Congrats! :)

Just out if interest, were they offering any other wheel options on the MY17? Do you know what the changes are from the previous model?

+1 Rob from Hunters Hill is definitely the way to go. Each time I've had Rob tint my cars all of them have been outside of office hours, and none of them at hunters hill. He'll work around you, will...

So you'd prefer a Wolfsburg without any of the parts which make it a Wolfsburg. I've got just the car for you. It's called a standard R with silver Pretorias :P

I'm not sure why they'd remove themselves after you remove the SD card...? I haven't heard of that before.

Do you...

Glad you found it helpful! :cool:

Go to Hunters Hill Window Tinting. They'll do whatever you want, including matching to the privacy glass on the rear. Also, they're one of the only places in Sydney that can tint the front quarter...

Yep, I got my Wolfsburg Ed Golf R with Sunroof (ie. fully loaded) for $58K.



+1 I've got one too, and the difference is simply awesome - it transforms the car! Best $500 I've ever spent :)

No worries Brian - glad to hear you got it all fitted up!

Awesome combo with the aftermarket downpipe and JB1 - good choice! Enjoy the powah! :)

Edit: By the way, did you tune your Map 6 using...

Love that they give the Tiguan R Line an 8" screen, but not the flagship GTI! :facepalm:

So the CS doesn't come with the 8" head unit??

Sorry AdamD I have to agree with ringo, a lot of the reports I've seen is to the same effect - the manual clutch isn't really able to handle the Stage 1 tune long-term. Hence why APR offers a...

Yeah it was snapped up pretty much immediately.

It wasn't my JB1 that I was selling actually. A friend of mine sold his S3, and the new buyer was an older gent who didn't want the JB1, so I sold...

I'm running a JB1, along with downpipe, intercooler etc on my R. I have to say, I'm super impressed. The JB1 is about 70-90% the power gain of a tune, for substantially less cost, and keeps your...
