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.

Torque is the important factor - both across the rev range and the maximum value which converts to kw at a given rpm. kw ratings are... over-rated in my opinion. -

R Owners: Does your car auto lock after you shut the engine, close the door and walk away? For some reason I have never seen this happen on my vehicle and I always have to lock it using the fob. Is this the expected behavior that requires another VCDS tweak? Thanks.Driving: Golf R Mk7 MY14 - Pure White, DSG, Leather, DAP and SunroofComment

Nope, mine doesn't auto lock, just need to touch the door handle (on the sensor) and it locks

I am currently ordering a new Golf R and don't want a DSG
Would be interested in others response to 2 questions as ma in the process of ordering a Golf R:
1 - what dates have they been told manual cars they have ordered will be delivered
2 - my car spec is black with black leather - no other options. Dealer has priced that (with corporate rate) at $56,800 - is that a fair (or good) price?
thanks in advance for your responses!Comment

Stephen, your quotation appears to offer no more than the benefit of the $1000 reduced dealer delivery fee. There is certainly an opportunity for you to negotiate a better outcome, but there is no point in forum members quoting prices they received as there are many factors which will determine your best price, such as your dealer's overheads, varying statutory charges between states and the previous relationship you had with that dealer. Also, some belligerent dealers appear to not want to discount and these should be avoided by savvy buyers.Originally posted by stephenR View Post
As far as delivery is concerned, anything from mid September should be possible - refer to my signature for my estimated date.Comment

Detailed this beauty for a client the other day...
Such a nice car. Really impressed with the build quality. Less impressed with the paint measurements though!Comment

Can you please elaborate? As a professional detailer, is this issue something that is typical of the marque?Originally posted by Disciple View PostComment

There are 2 sensors on the door handle.Originally posted by anduril View Post
The first one is "external" and you can see it easily. That's the one to press to lock the car.
The other one is "hidden". It is where the door unlock catch is found normally on cars which DON'T have this feature. That sensor unlocks the car.
The problem is that a number of users slide our hands into the handle when we want to press the first button. This results in the car locking and then unlocking it because both sensors are triggered.
Try pressing the lock button without sliding your hands into the handle.Comment
