Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

If you can next time your going for a drive try toggle recirculating air on and off and pop your hand over the drivers door air vent and see if you can feel any air blowing through it. I find mine does it really strongly on the drivers door side, drivers center console vent does it as well but only slightly. The passenger two don't do it at all. Service reckons this is normal but everyone I speak to says their car does not do it, I've even gone down to two other VW dealerships who say its not normal, and a guy at work has the same car as me and he swears his doesn't do it either.

So I checked it out. My car blows air out of the drivers' air vents more strongly than the other vents. It does it when the car is on auto or recirculating, or even when the air is set to the footwell only. It is really gentle though and not really an issue for me. I wonder if it's a mechanism to reduce the chance of the side window fogging up?

Thanks for checking. Possibly. I'm told it's to stop a high pitched whistle developing. Though I've never had a car that does this and they didn't have the aforementioned whistle. Neither has my whole family, my fathers got the ****s with me because I paid for the chemical flush when I complained the air con stunk and they found some mold buildup. And he says the whistle is a bs coverup excus which I'm inclined to agree with.

What disappointments me the most is I've contacted Volkswagen customer support litterally 20 times over the past 18 months and all there interested to do is call my dealership and ask them to ring me. I rang them on Tuesday explained my situation. She said my you have had a lot of issues I just read all the notes. I explained I'm at my wits end the dealership isn't doing anything and asked her for advice. She said I'm going to talk to my manager and asked me to hold. She comes back saying I've tried to contact the dealership but there not answering I'll have to call you back. 2 days later and I'm still waiting for that call back!

So disappointing this is my first brand new car purchase and to have it go off like this is pretty disappointing. Really put me off buying brand new really expensive cars.

As the only thing I was really after with the Wolfsburg was the Pretorias, I enquired as to how much they would be as a separate purchase.

7k, apparently!

Does anyone know if there offering the new 7.5 R here in AU in the wolfsburg edition? I've asked 3 dealerships now and none of them even knew what it was let alone if its going to be offered here. If they are does it come with the carbon fiber mirror caps? I remember seeing that in a video once before cant remember where, may of been the initial reveal videos, but I haven't seen it since.

Check out the Wolfsburg R thread. The cars people have put deposits down for are all 7.5 cars. Not sure on the carbon mirror caps.

The only additional cosmetic add ons are the carbon fibre mirror caps and the grey pretorias.

So is anyone else ordering aftermarket parts or thinking of upgraded anything on their new golfs when they arrive.

I already have a nice set of goodies to go on when It arrives

APR Cold Air Intake
APR Front Mount Intercooler
APR Dump Pipe
IPE Catback Exhaust
Paddle Extensions
Flood Lights for the Doors
looking at ordering a set of CVT Vossen Wheels In 20inch
Stage 2 APR Tune once the Car Arrives
Upgraded DSG Tune As Well

Still unsure if to buy lowered sprngs yet or Coilovers

Because I own a detailing shop i'll do the normal stuff I do on all my car window tint ceramic paint protection package

[kennyc]

I'm leaving it stock until warranty runs out.
If I did get anything then it would be dynaudio system put in but just costs too damn much and not worth it.

I have a mate who has just tuned his mm 7 R to stage 3, thing is a beast!

[Ground_Level]

Yeah thank god the wolfs come with that already love my mk6's dynaudio system

[kennyc]

Yeah sucks that you pay 10k more for the flagship car over the GTI, yet have less tech

Anyways keep us posted how your car preforms after it's all done
