Golf R Observations and Questions

[Candyman]

Just found an Easter Egg

Only for those with DSG

Select reverse and look on the MFD

VW badged the selector mode

Weird how it only shows in reverse.

Come on Ryan, you can work it out

Only for those that have the R with DSG

I don't have an R though - I just post in here as if I did.

Photo would be nice.

This might be a stupid question but was does the "R" stand for?

LOL! I want someone to do up an R badge that says that!

I think the VW R series stands for Racing.

2013 nsw Rego stickers are a perfect match for rb paint.

Can we get someone to make some vwwatercooled stickers that say it?

hey guys, had my new MY12 R a couple of weeks and have a few questions..
read the manuals but still lost :p

1. tyre pressure warning system.. manual says there should be button near the gear knob (there isn't one) or in the glove box (there isn't one).. where is it?
2. there is a button near the driver's side seat belt, around my right elbow to disable/enable the interior alarm & towing alarm system.. i guess it isn't enabled on australian models?
3. 3 buttons on the roof console.. no use in australia?
4. dipping of the left hand rear view mirror during reverse doesn't happen? I did read it had to be setup in the manual so will give this a go again

It is in the glovebox in the top corner

2. there is a button near the driver's side seat belt, around my right elbow to disable/enable the interior alarm & towing alarm system.. i guess it isn't enabled on australian models?

Yes it is

3. 3 buttons on the roof console.. no use in australia?

What 3 buttons unless you mean the lnterior lights

4. dipping of the left hand rear view mirror during reverse doesn't happen? I did read it had to be setup in the manual so will give this a go again

Make sure your mirror selector is switched to the left not centre

[Candyman]

3 buttons on roof

1 can be set to call your service centre (mine is set up)

The others are not functional in AU as far as I know

Explained in the manual

This car has more options than i thought hmmmm is there an owners manual i can read before mine is delivered?
