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,

        Would have been done by the dealer locally. When I bought mine, the dealer said they get all the golf R's in the std cloth/alcantara and if you order leather the car is reupholstered locally.

        • Just be mindful that the dealer reupholstered does not come with heating, one of the main reasons we waited for a factory one.

            Probably not such a big issue in many parts of Queensland. To be charged $3,150 + stamp duty for factory leather and heated front seats is no bargain. Of course, this is all academic now that factory leather is included as standard in MY16 models.

              Yeah it was more if someone looks at a second hand one.

                        Is this result consistent with owner and forum member expectation? It wasn't the outcome I expected.

                        • ^ Car advice I think did a track test and the R creamed the STI. Having said that who buys an R with the primary aim to track it? its the go to all round performance hatch, manic as required, or just as readily take the kids to soccer practice safe and sound...

                            • When a car and platform are as good as the Mk7 I think you can be unanimous.

                              Let's face it. Fifth Gear isn't exactly scintillating television most of the time - its production values are on a par with an STI interior.

                              There's no doubt on track the STI is still a weapon, but the R kills it everywhere else exactly as Andrew put it.

                                Does anyone have any first hand experience to the benefit of replacing their stock diverter valve on a Mk7 R with no ECU or other turbo mods? Here's the link to the product: DV+ Performance Diverter Range : DV+ T9359 (Suits VW Mk7 Golf R and Audi 8V S3)
