Would love to go the DIY at home route. Have looked at IE tunes but can’t conclusively tell if they will work with a ŠKODA, even though it should - all references to VW/Audi only.
I reached out to...
Any recommendations for which brand to go for or are they mostly all the same?

But of a bump, but what did you end up doing OP?

Driven both a 7.5R and RS245. I really like the Octavia, even though I have managed to get a decent deal on an R. I definitely prefer 2wd to awd.
Can't decide what to do!
Specifically the facelift model.
Are they worth it over the standard speakers? How do they compare to the Dynaudio speakers in the Golf 7.5?

Octavia vRS 169TSI, MK7.5 R, Audi A4 B9 Quattro or as a wildcard an older 8R SQ5? I had shortlisted a 206TSI Passat, but they didn't have Dynaudio as an option until after 2018, so I've excluded...
You're paying a premium for fuss free motoring by buying new.
That said, some models depreciate faster than others, so you could arguably get much better 'bang for buck' by going with a well...
Were they offered as an option on earlier (MY16-18) B8’s? - the one with the 8” MIB2 screen

Can I use a T30 torx for these?! Every tutorial I've read/watched mentions M6, but I found it hard to get a good grip with my M6 bit.
Both are gone because I made them worse trying a bit too hard....
I recently acquired another MK5 GTI (can't help myself) and was set to replace the door lock actuator, so removed the door skin and then get to removing the M6 screws holding the actuator in place,...
Want to get a MK7 GTI as a daily hauler. Is the PP worth it given I will never track the car and will probably just keep it stock and drive it into the ground.

Looking for a set of Detroit (MK6), Austin (MK7) or Dallas (MK7.5) OEM GTI wheels with tyres.
Had the last minor service done 5 months ago, and have just got the oil service due in 30 days light come up, which would line up with 6 months. I've only done about 7,000kms since.
Is it really...
I find the speakers in the MK7 Golf R to be very average, but ok for a factory system.
I want a budget friendly upgrade option for better sound, so looking at the Focal IS155 components. Any one...
Great, thanks! I'm in the Hills, so will check out German Performance Garage.
Need to get my APR Stage 1 Mk7 R serviced and would like to go to a workshop that deals with APR tunes.
Any recommendations?
Thanks!

I’ve noticed the following happening randomly:
- Screen does not display anything, but all functions work (eg. media playback and CarPlay works when I connected my iPhone)
- ‘ParkPilot not...
Just got a MY16 R and it has the MIB2 system with the 6.5" screen.
Are the 8" or 9.2" screens for the 7.5's a direct swap or do I need to upgrade the guts of the system as well?
Missed out on two MY16's that I was eyeing. One was a loaded Wolfsburg. Gutted.
Anything that is low to average kms and non inflated pricing gets snapped up right away. Will need to compromise on...
Budget is $30k but have a feeling I will need to stretch a bit further to find a decent example, given prices are creeping up again. $35k seems to be the sweet spot for decent examples nowadays.
Found a few early MK7 R's that I'm interested in. Besides turbo failures, which should have been covered under warranty is there anything that I should consider over a later MY16/17 one?
Plan is...
On the hunt for a MK7 R with DSG and leather in Tornado Red.
Please post what you have on offer.
That recent service history looks weird. The car could've been put into storage when it moved to NSW?
The seats, while wearing quite well, don't look too dissimilar to the condition of my old MK5...
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...
