Golf R Observations and Questions

[dave_r]

This almost seems like Berwick VW actually approves APR tuning!

I was more surprised since it's a nice advertisement for Volkspower (as opposed to dealer servicing)

Dean's cars have featured in the Camberwell dealership showroom as well in the past. I'm sure it works out for both parties.

Interesting exhaust system!

Have i missed something or is that Black R not anchored down on the dyno???

Sounds good though!!

You can see the strap on the front just behind the tyre.

how did that Golf R rev like that when it was idle? My car can only rev to about 3-3.5K before the rev limiter thing cuts it off from revving it higher?

and on that note, is there a way to disable that rev cut?

[stephen8512]

and what oils do you guys use to change the oils in our Golf R's?

[Corey_R]

Maybe they were revving in neutral rather than launch control?

I use Liqui-Moly Top Tech 4200

thx for the oil tip...where can I get it from and whats the viscosity?

i put my car in N just then and it only revved to 4K....and cut out....

Mi16 Man made a thread and also used the Liqui-Moly. He purchased it from Autobarn in Canberra for $61!!! I purchased mine in Sydney from European Autotech for about $80 - which is the price that Motoractive.com have it. So check out Autobarn first!

It's 5W-30 and is VAG 504 approved. Designed and manufactured in Germany.

Talking of oil how many of you have noticed some oil usage so far? I check mine regularly and hadn't noticed any change until recently, it's only dropped a bit but it is certainly lower. Car has still done less than 4000 kms.

[Corey_R]

Haven't noticed any... but then I had it changed at ~3000 when I had the Stage 2+ gear installed, and I'm only up to ~6000 now.

My oil prior to getting it serviced last week (8,600kms) was at the lower end of the mark between min/max, which is a less than a litre, from experience witht the Jetta TFSI this is normal.

I thought the dip stick represents only 1 litre?
