Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • New Car. When to APR 1?

    Just a simple question. Thanks!!

    How long should I be driving a new Golf R DSG until I can flash the ECU with APR Stage 1?

    About the distance it takes to get yourself to an APR distributor....
    MKV Golf 2.0 TDI DSG Sportline. Just nice.

        I left mine until it hit 1000km but it hasn't caused me any issues at all so far.
        Having said that others had had it running for around 2 years by the time i got mine done so it had been checked.

        It really is up to you and if you thikn it is oging to affect your car in a way that is costly to you or not.

          If APR is your choice (as was mine), don't even bother with the free trial, just do it. Saves 2 trips to your APR guy.

            Thanks for the replies.

            What if there is a problem with the car after Stage 1 is done on it? Can I revert it back to factory ECU and send it in for warranty fix?

            Is it true that 0-100 sub-5sec can be achieved without any modification to the car? DSG version.

              Probably best talk to your APR guy re warranty.

              After mine was APR'd stage 1, I achieved 0-100Km/h in 4.4 sec, then the alarm clock woke me up.
