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...

Know of any recommended places to have a proper diagnosis and repair for the DQ250 in my R36? Otherwise will just take it to my usual workshop (Eurowerke).

Have the exact same issue as here:...

On my R36, reverse gear takes a few seconds to engage, and on occasion it will do the clunk, clunk, clunk and then cause a false neutral. If this happens, turning the car off/on remedies the issue...

Currently considering upgrade options for my daily. Looking at something more mod friendly and better on fuel compared to my R36.

Is a GTI PP good enough for a fun, fast daily or should I pony up...

Nah, Sydney.

Will actually in Canberra over the weekend oddly enough.

Possibly interested. Will I need a separate dab aerial?

Purchased in 2018 from AA Auto (local seller) on eBay and left over from my old car.

I did have an issue with the right front speaker not outputting, but I think that was due to the wiring in my...

Thanks for the heads up!

Not surprised that it's gone though. :(

Looking for either catback or full exhaust.

Please post what you have to offer. :biggrin:

Got a custom catback system with replacement mufflers fitted at Castle Hill Exhaust.

Service was alright, but it did not seem like they were too interested in discussing different options for my...

Interested and keen to see some pics. Does it come with the airbag and if so, know if it contains one of the defective Takata airbags?

Thanks!

Trying to decide whether to go full custom, catback only, or to just replace the rear mufflers.

If there is nil performance gain to be had, then I will likely go with replacing the rear mufflers...

Looking for the silver metallic trim piece surrounding the stereo.

Needs to be from a pre facelift CC (not regular Passat).

Is it possible to retrofit the rear VW badge camera onto the sedan?

The paintwork of my R36 has seen better days. Car looks great from a distance, but it's in definite need of some paint correction/detail due to swirl marks, minor scratches and stone chips on the...

Initially had issues of washer fluid leaking out of my R36 as soon as the reservoir was topped up - so fast that I'd have the 'add wash fluid' light on straight away. This happened after I had my car...

Would like to unleash the lovely note from the VR6 without the addition of too much drone. If I could have the OEM note but just a bit louder, then I'd be happy.

I've read mixed opinions regarding...
