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.

They're running stock Dunlop tyres that come with the R, so I believe they're 8" wide. Haven't noticed any rubbing, but I suppose I don't have it on full lock very often...Originally posted by Machine View Post2020 VW Golf RComment

Could be my imagination but I swear she doesn't pull as hard in the hot weather.
Notice mainly in the 3rd gear drag onto the freeway. Doesn't seem to have same grunt above about 4000rpm.
Temp today 32 degrees.
Oil 92 degrees.
Fuel is 98 RON before anyone asks.
Anyone know if this real or just me?Looking for:- RS4 B7 Avant.
Current:- Amarok V6 Sportline; Mazda CX-9 Azami AWD

LOL. You reckon it's metal? Feels plasticky. If it's metal, it's aluminium, which shouldn't conduct heat well. That was probably their idea. Can you shift without getting 3rd degree burns or do you need a push in neutral?
An aircon vent in front of the knob would be nice. One in front of mine would be nice too.Click or tap --> MY13 CW Golf R | Manual | ACC (deleted) | 19" Black Talladegas (sold) | Satnav-Dynaudio

Paul_R, it's real. Get a tune to make up for it, plus a cold air intake.Click or tap --> MY13 CW Golf R | Manual | ACC (deleted) | 19" Black Talladegas (sold) | Satnav-Dynaudio

Re: Golf R Observations and Questions
For mine if you tick the box for the privilege of spending 2K for 4 inches and costly rubber for life cause it looks good my basic math equation is form/functionOriginally posted by brimway View Post
18s on the other hand are form and function
Don't confuse the statement with judgment it is what it is
It is called heat soak, as said before all cars get sluggish in hot weather, turbo charged cars more so. Be gentle especially if you have a tune, there was a good reason they detuned them for our climate.Originally posted by Paul_R View Post
The counterpoint to this is how well they perform in cool weather

When it came the time to tick boxes, there are 2 that I am so glad I ticked. DSG and ACC (DCC) allow you to change the "drive" in so many ways.Comment
