If it is just leather you after auto upholsterers could do this relatively cheaply. On the Mk 7/7.5 GTi the optional leather equipped seats were also powered (drivers only) and standard on the R....

Not sure where you based but if in Sydney can recommend Pro Auto Repairs for this sort of work. Is a mobile service using proper spray painting gear, with flawless results. About $300 last time I...

Hi
Considering a dash cam installation on a 2018 Golf R 7.5. Bit of chatter on one of the UK VW sites of the BlackVue causing battery drain in 7.5 Golf Rs, if car not driven regularly. I appreciate...

Thanks Lucas_R. Agree re just changing it now, even though I reckon the catastrophic scenario of widespread coolant damage to electrics is a load of bollocks. Seems pretty straight forward DIY and my...

Keen for advice on this one.
Recently had routine service on a 5 year old/50K kms Golf 7.5 and VW have flagged a leak into the sensor on top of the coolant reservoir and have recommended replacement...

Happy with Budget Direct. First time customer when I insured my R in early 2022, at which time they were way cheaper than any one else I could find at the time. And good to deal with when I had to...

I ended up using this experience as an excuse to join the OBD11 club and got the battery coded.
My issue was being duped by VW Roadside Assistance. Not unreasonable to assume that if sourcing a...

Agree completely with Don. It always pays to shop around with car insurance, including even obtaining a new policy quote from the same insurance provider which will often be cheaper than your renewal...

Thought I would chime in to a VW Battery thread with my recent experience. Dead battery on a 2018 VW Golf. Have that VW Roadside Assist as part of warranty so called them. Bloke arrives in a van full...

Getting back on track here...
Thanks all for recommendation on suspension specialists.
Based on my ownership experience of several Golf models I reckon the "noisy front suspension" issue is really...

Hi
I am the second owner of a 2018 Golf R that has the creaking front suspension issue. I am a previous Golf 7 owner that had the exact same suspension noise so I am all too familiar with the...

A 2019 Golf should have the 5 year factory warranty. Let VW listen to it

Bit of a strange one. The other day I found my 2018 Golf with both wiper arms up in the service position and with the wiper blades pulled back from the windscreen ie everything sticking pretty much...

Yes VW absolutely should cover it but whether they will is another story. Your best bet is to check what warranty you have on the car as some 2018 delivered VWs had a 5 year warranty. In the latter...

As a work around you could try turning off the ACC when you in city driving ie stop start traffic, to see if this disables the "car in front pulling away" trigger? From memory on DAP equipped cars...

Hi All
Hopefully this of use to the less IT savvy of you who may have been messing around with the Map Material Update instructions from VW.
Firstly I was able to download the map material...

Thanks to all. Looks like up for new tyres pretty soon. The sales guy had indicated the previous owner lived on Central Coast and used to commute to northern Sydney on regular basis so all makes sense

Hello
I will preface this by stating I am not intending to set off a which tyre is best discussion.
I have recently found my way into a 7.5 Golf R delivered new in Aug 2018.
I am wondering if...

I had this happen on an older MK7 about 2015 so not sure if same Infotainment set up. Tried various combinations of hold the on off button down, ignition on and off, lock/unlock the car. No result....

Just put deposit down on a manual 2018 R. White with Dynaudio option. Aug 2018 build so one of the last manual performance Golfs in Australia. I was really keen to get one with DAP and the upgraded...

Thanks for replies. The car is at a VW dealer as an AUC with extended VW warranty. I would be surprised VW would touch it if it is tuned/modded and I not sure someone would modify the clutch and do...

Hello
Hoping you guys could put my mind at ease.
I went to have a look at a used mid 2018 Golf R today at a dealer.
About 50K on the clock. Car appeared in pretty good order, with an up to date...

Hello to the Golf R owners. We own a 2018 Golf GTi and I am considering a Mk 7.5 Golf R for myself, and leaving the GTi as a second car for my wife (and kids and dog to continue to trash). I am thus...

Another thumbs up for this gadget. If there are different drivers/phones it can take a little while to gets it’s act together connecting back and forth between the different phones. But once up and...

Does sound suspicious for the fuel line rattle. Don't let VW fob you off by saying that the fuel line rattle was only on the earlier Golf models.
I have a 2018 GTi that had a buzzing sound from new...
