Most people here are talking about golfs , but since it's a MKVI thread, can I please share my delight - picked-up my MKVI polo tsi this morning. ... oh so nice!

Well I just had a f@cking awesome day today. Wangara vw had a 3dr DSG UG R with leather acc 19"blacks rvc bt & mdi in stock, so I went out for a look as my ordered car is a 3 door and I have never actually seen one in the flesh. Had a look and after a short chat to Dermot I cancelled my existing contract (kudos to the jason at dvg melville for being understanding) and now get to pick up my R on Wednesday!!! Not a bad price too at $59k flat with 12 months rego

Actually Baska, you have a MKV Polo!!!
Except they're not called that obviously.
MKI: Typ 86, 1975–81
MKII: Typ 86C, 1981–94
MKIII: Typ 6N, 1994–2002
MKIV: Typ 9N, 2002–05
MKIV facelift: Typ 9N3, 2005–09
MKV: Typ 6R, 2009–

So the "6R" doesn't actually mean sixth generation

Congrats on collecting your car. I drove my mother's (then) 1 week old 77TSI two weeks ago. They're fantastic

Took the new R up to West Head in the sunshine yesterday for some straights and some twistys. This car is a joke, whatever I threw at it corners wise it was just rooted to the ground and the exhaust was amost saying, 'That all you got Langers'

Then found a long stretch of tarmac, turned off ESP , lipped it into Sport and you guessed it Launched. Unbelievable feeling, my god the way it flicks up to 5th in like 4 seconds, and the exhaust! Pins you into your seat. Incredible fun.....

What a bloody laugh.......

You didn't happen to drive down Queen St Mosman today did you Langers?

Hello fellow MKVI R owners or those having an interest.
I am loving the car, most impressive is the tech in the car, and overall driving experience.
I have a technical question.... I have managed to get a gutter scrape under the front bar and am sure will get more....I do intend fixing it however.
My question is " How do I remove the front bar??" I have taken one off my evo 9 and WRX front bars and several others but was wondering where the major fixing points are located on the golf. Tried to find a schematic on the web but no luck so far.
I thought there may be some on this site that have the experience to guide me in the right direction.
Have thought of going in to VW parts and asking for a copy of the schematic but will try here first.
Any help muchly appreciated.
Cheers.

LS, sounds like you are having a bit fun, lol. I'm finding this car to be different to any I've owned in the past. With all the other cars the fun and excitement wore off quickly and they were then just daily drives. This one is different. Just want to drive it and drive it and drive it......

Yes Ideo. That was us. Good spot. Not even put the watercooled sticker on yet. Freshly opticoated.

Looking good. Looking good indeed. I wasn't in mine but I see a few from the balcony of my place

[sman66]

Thank you...very useful Corey!!
Only question now is parking sensors and driving lights but I am sure it is an unplug and plug in proposition.
thanks again.

Watercooled sticker on now. Don't drive without one I reckon
