How does everyone find the road noise? I’ve read in some different forums people
switching to 18 inch to get a quieter ride.

What sort of tyres ?

What pressure ?

I haven’t noticed any issues personally

Hey cloudblade, good to hear. How long have you had your R wagon for? Don’t know much about the rubber liner but I was looking at getting there boot liner (same as rubber liner I assume). From precious experiences with other cars they tend to be a bit slippery.

Thanks, I had the wagon for 8 months now, but havnt got a chance to drive around cause the COVID, and yes the mat from dealer is pretty much hard plastic and very slippery, I had my paper box and keep slip when I try to boost lol

Congratz on your new wagon, I love my wagon so much, no issues yet, but i found out the rubber mat@ boot area given by the dealer was a bit slippery, is it normal? I'm thinking taking the rubber mat off.

The boot mat I have is more plastic and very slippery. Was thinking of getting a rubber welcome mat from Bunnings to place the pram on to prevent it from sliding all over the boot.

Hi All, been a while since I’ve been on here but finally looking at getting a 2020 Golf R wagon. Just wanted to see what experience people have had with owning them? Any problems or issues. Feedback would be much appreciated.

Changed boot light to LED.
Still had the LED light from when I bought it for the Tiguan: https://www.vwwatercooled.com/forums...t=#post1239927

Same size and such a massive difference in light output.

Yeah, the standard globe is pathetic so I did the same. But the LED one I put in was nice and bright for a while, then started not working intermittently (it was a cheapie from ebay). I have a few extras so no big deal to replace it again if needed.

The resonator is the centre muffler. Straight piping it makes the hatch sound sweet but people reckon it ruins the wagon

I’ve seen many reports from those who’ve done it. Unfortunately causes drone in a wagon.

Sorry for the sillily question, as I am yet to ever mod a car amd I’ve read this so much on VE forums. What is a ‘res delete’ and what does it do?

[roh008]

i'm wanting more noise too from my Wagon so will probably get an exhaust as I will also eventually get a down pipe and tune. Stock for Wagon exhausts are limited in Australia at the moment though - which limits options
