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,

    yes, our friend Corey should chill out.. thought you would see the funny side SF, I care NOT that VW has stopped production of the three door version. Kinda felt that was the point of my response, but hay we all don't see humour the same way..... On the other hand REX's ethic slurs and derogatory terms used against Asians should not be tolerated in this forum and Corey should remove the statement..

      It's the car code, not an option code:
      5K1RX6 <-- 5 door manual R
      5K1RX7 <-- 5 door DSG R

        Our Golf R now has 3000km on it and is getting quicker as it loosens up. It is amazingly quick on tight winding mountain roads and is far quicker than the big bikes one finds on these roads! The cornering power is like araldite on plywood. It sticks like cement. All systems and controls work perfectly and the car has no faults for any warranty claims. It has no rattles or squeaks and is very comfortable. Just a fantastic car with amazing performance and handling. We are very happy customers of VW Australia.

          • <Save yourself some money and dont get ripped off by VW by paying close to 100 dollars for a simple cable. That money can go towards your Stage 1 upgrade :p

            And yes i can comfirm the cable works 100% with my iPhone 3GS, full function, no issues.

            In my centre console there is a jack plug socket so this cable is not the one for my Golf R. I need an iPhone4 plug at one end and a stereo jack plug (3mm I think) at the other.

            Yes it is a DSG and going very well.

              • The socket is labelled MDI but it is a simple socket like for headphones.

                • Hmm - Seems like they might have screwed up the wiring in my car a little...

                  When I turn the nob to the right to adjust the right external mirror, it adjusts the left mirror instead - When I turn it to the left it will also adjust the left mirror, for some reason I can't adjust the right mirror at all... I also think the nob is a bit cheap and flimsy personally as well.

                  Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this but I really think they got lazy and left the hand brake on the wrong side of the car, it really should be on the right side next to the driver and the cup holder near the passenger... Anyone else think that as well ?

                    Not sure about the mirrors mate, sounds weird! The handbrake is a bit far, but since I don't use it a lot whilst driving it's ok where it is, now if I lived on gravel roads it might be different

                    FYI my wife has been driving the R for the last two weeks while her Jetta get's some panel damage fixed and the left exhaust pipe is sooty whilst the right is clean! Told she needs to wear heavier shoes to open it up a bit :p

                      I think you should have a quick browse through the owners manual in relation to adjusting the mirrors...
                      Depending on what options you've got set in the MFI, when the right mirror is selected, it will adjust the left and right mirrors at the same time. So you adjust the right, and then adjust the left.

                      • I don't get it.. People talk about their Rs exhaust always having one clean and one not..? Mine are both equally disgracefully dirty right now.
