^Thank you for the tips

Perfect chance to buy some after market pads. The OEM pads are the most dust inducing pads I've owned and can't wait to change them out.

Recommended for the Alltrack is 118cm, next size down is 108cm. When I'm near a store, I'll pop in and see first hand.

Thanks for the measurement, I'll run a tape over my rails and see where 108cm...

Couple roof rack stores I spoke to don't think the 108cm would fit instead of the 118cm bars as suggested for the wagon.. 100mm of a step down sounds like its too big of a difference.

Thanks all

Interesting, I might take a look..

That is a great idea, thanks for letting us know thats a possibility. Thinking of going the same route for my Passat. Do you know how much shorter they were than the ones recommend on website under...

Do you know what an OEM set costs from VW parts department? Surely they can't be too expensive, thinking the Aliexpress set may not fit too well.

Another VW dealer installed towbar user. Like smarty has mentioned and in my opinion, everything just works as it should and I couldn't be happier. They do trim the bar but in all honesty, I don't...

Ahh thank you for this, was looking a purchasing a set.

Any owners out there looking to sell a couple wheels and tyres? Or any one looking to go 50/50 with me in Vic in buying a second hand set...

Fair enough.

I'm a creature of habit and always use two chains regardless of what I'm towing.

Genuine VW towbar for me fitted prior to delivery. I want the ease of the 50mm receiver for my bike racks. I always have the tongue in when not using the rack plus it gives a little bit of protection...

Interesting, even for the 2020 builds? Just checked the online brochure for what I believe is the shorty version and has an 'S'. I'll go out and see if I can find anything in the manual, I guess...

Thanks for the info Hiillbilly.

Sorry if I've misunderstood your post but I haven't had a chance to see DLA in action, isn't this a stock feature in ours? Remember seeing it on the online...

Had a search for wireless charging and apple carplay options here in Australia. Seems some US models has wireless charging, does anyone know its its possible for us here?

Also, has anyone got...

Just had a look in the 'Supplement to Owner's Manual' which shows maximum tongue loading of 200kg with 2 occupants and 100kg with 4 occupants.

750kg unbraked.
2500kg braked.
GCM 4,760KG

I went through the rating issue when I was purchasing and couldn't really get a straight answer. My rating plate for my MY20 162TSI R-line shows tongue download of 200kg. If they call me up to say...

The sooner this fad of crackles and pops for 4cyl cars is over, the better. Just sounds cheap in my opinion.

Has pricing been announced here in AUS?

Interesting. Cheers

I see you're in NSW but I'm pretty sure Advance Towbars here in Melbourne can fit them. I'm thinking this might even work Torklift Central | Torklift Central | 2015-2017 Volkswagen Golf R EcoHitch...

Dropped a lappie:cool:

Sorry housemd, can't hep you as I'm actually looking to get into one of these little things myself (just sold my golf GTI PP).

^^Thanks for that. Cheers

Hi,
After a bit of consideration, I'm looking to upgrade the GTI PP and get myself into the R. Just wondering what price guide I should be aiming at for leather with drivers assist? Also, is there...

Just returned home from 5 nights up north, unlocked my GTI PP this morning and turned the key to sweet sound of nothing... Called roadside assist, battery checked out fine but the young fella...

My GTI PP came with Dunlops
