That's good that the dealer explained that to you. Because the /11 in the code is not the build year but the model year. But as the dealer said, you can't put it in until some admin person updates the order system. But either way, all cars after a set date are built to the new spec, as per Ozram's post.

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.

I'm looking at changing my oil soon for its service. I want to provide the service guys with my own oil and been looking at ROYAL PURPLE.
1) Anyone else use any other brands?
2) What viscosity do our Golf R's use? I want to buy the proper viscosity ROYAL PURPLE oil for my Golf R. 5w 30?Comment

Good info in the fuel & lube section of the forums. Make sure whatever you uses has the VAG approval/certification. So many do that it isn't worth using one that "meets" the standards but hasn't bothered to get it certified.
I put in the Liqui Moly (5W30 TOP TEC 4200 MOTOR OIL) and will be buying another bottle to give the guys for my first actual service in 4000kms. http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/foru...tml#post642538Comment

Just thought any of those waiting on the revised pod filter style Carbonio intake for the R might be intereested in this...VWVortex.com - APR Presents: APR's NEW 2.0T FSI S3/Golf-R K04 Turbocharger System!
It seems they have stopped looking at producing this until the R comes out in the US...bummer.
Looks like I'll be forking out for a Gruppe M now

Yeah - it's disappointing that Arin wasn't able to do more. It's disappointing because the BSH, Nuspeed, K&N, Forge TwinTake and VF K04 intakes are all illegal by Australian standards. They're meant to be sealed off from the engine, some make some attempt, by some don't even bother trying. The Gruppe M makes the best attempt of the lot, though on the MK6 it's not as convincing as in the MKV.
Whilst it might be unlikely that a cop would pull anyone in a Golf R over and open up the engine bay, I just wouldn't want to take the chance and have to go to an inspection centre, for them to only then have a go at any other mods...
The Carbonio intakes have no question in their legality, as they are completely sealed to the OEM air-inlet.Comment

I know its really frustrating that there is no sealed pod filter intake available for the R, the fact that all the pod ones except the Gruppe M require removal of the engine cover sucks. With regards to the mk5 vs mk6 fitment I think this is because they are just using mk5 intakes and not even modifying the design for the mk6.
If you look at the part numbers the mk5 gti intake is exactly the same as that for the R, probably why it doesn't have that nice line up with the top edge along the headlight.

Google it, there is a mob up your way that sells online. I know Corey got it from wherever he did the mods and have heard others say that SCA stocked it. I got mine from the local Autobarn. Gotta head back in as they have a sale on, hoping the oil is included in that.Originally posted by stephen8512 View PostComment

Does the average fuel consumption reading reset everyday or something? Im not getting the average so far over the last few days. I want to know what its like with fuel economy over a long period of time not just a day! Any info?Candy White Golf R DSG MDI Bluetooth & Bluefin installed!Comment

Take some time to read the owners manual. There are lots of features in a VW which aren't on many other manufacturer's cars - especially non-euros.
You have two "trip meters" - 1 and 2. The 1st trip meter lasts for that trip, or any subsequent trips within 2 hours of the last one. The 2nd trip meter lasts until you manually reset it, by holding enter. You switch between 1 and 2 by pressing enter on any item which has the 1 or 2 marker.Comment

2nd trip meter resets itself every 15,000 km's also. could be wrong but pretty sure i read that somewhere.Originally posted by Corey_R View PostCurrent - MY16 2015 Octavia VRS Wagon 220 tsi DSG Corrida Red, tech, Leather, 18" black

I read that thing from cover to cover alreadyOriginally posted by Corey_R View Post
What I noticed is that one trip meter is for instant fuel economy figures, while the other is for average, but the average resets after a few hours of non use. I could be wrong, I might have another look through the book.
Another excuse to take the car for a drive hehe!Candy White Golf R DSG MDI Bluetooth & Bluefin installed!Comment

lol.. yes, you are wrong. But that's ok. Check out the manual again, whilst sitting in the car.
There is an instant fuel consumption. But there are TWO averages. Just the same as there are two travel times, and travel distances etc etc. You'll see what I mean when you look again
