Wolfsburg Edition Golf R

[gregozedobe]

So blue woof complete

Another wagon tomorrow

That Lapiz Blue comes up nicely, especially in the sun.

I went for white because I like to keep a low profile and in white these look like just another family wagon (unless you really know your VWs and you look closely).

So there are at least 3 7.5 Wolfsburg wagons in the ACT now.

I showed my wagon to an old-school car nut the other day and after looking at the large 4 exhausts he asked me if it was a V10. He was a bit disappointed when I told him it was only a 2.0L 4 cyl

I have done 4 wagons so far with my first hatch today as well

Does that include my white Wolfsburg wagon in Queanbeyan?

I bought the Golf from Doncaster VW, but I bought my Passat R36 from Gerald Slaven.

Hi Guys,
I am waiting on blue wolf wagon and have few questions if someone can help.

1. Does Car-Net work in Australia?
2. Does Media Control App work in Australia?
3. Does live traffic updates work? If yes, is it already enabled or need to ask dealer?
4. I have got slimline plates and wondering if the front big euro plate holder comes off easily?? Can dealer help with this?

Thanks in advance.

Front euro bracket comes off easy. Just push pin through or drill them out. And l ordered the plugs from : bumper plugs.com.

3. Live traffic updates do work but they are not enabled and the dealer won't enable them but they can be enabled by someone with an OBDeleven dongle and app.

Spotted slin's oryx wolfie on VROC, looks so sweet man!

My Wolfsburg 7.5 - 7R Member's Rides - VW R Owners Club

Called VWA and pushed them to give me an update on my car, apparently started build yesterday and due for delivery Feb which works perfect for me. At one point was pushed out to Mar/Apr and came so close to pulling the pin! Might have to call them back in a couple of weeks and if its for sure being built, don't really see that ETA changing. Hope it helps anyone else out there struggling day to day waiting for the car!

Cheers @rambleforce. I am loving the wolf, planning on a nice trip maybe up the coast this week.

Picked up my car today. Colour looks great in the sun. Leather is a big step up on previous versions. The bigger boot is excellent and I much prefer the look of the wagon. Haven’t quite got the seat where I want it which strange as it’s supposed to be the same as the last car but with electric adjustment. The memory part is great.

Still getting used to the new dash screen. Stereo is good, better than the Mk 7 for sure (and it was quality) but it’s not as good as a decent aftermarket 10” sub system would be. The speakers aren’t broken in yet.

The wheels came wrapped in P-Zero’s. Not sure what the rest of you are getting. I miss my Michelin Super Sports, but I’ll check the pressures tomorrow before commenting further. Suffice to say that the Pirelli’s squeal and slide where the Super Sports were quiet and gripped.

The engine feels more lively than the Mk 7 did. It seems to have a bit more top end zip. The exhaust has a few more crackles on the overrun but I could see myself doing a res delete...

Brakes feel mushier than before. Maybe they just need bedding in a bit better.

The gear box is great. My first DSG. Any muppet who tries to drive a DSG vigorously in D, and then complains about how rubbish it is, needs to be slapped. D is for getting from A to B. In M it’s a great tool for wringing the cars neck but I’m still having to think about which gear I’m in rather than doing it on instinct. S is...I dunno yet. Probably won’t use it much.Haven’t played with drive settings too much either.

Got the roof bars on for the bike racks. They are Whispbar rail bars that I nicked off my wife’s Passat. If anyone else is getting these - S53W - don’t waste $60 on the “fitting kit” It’s simply four M8 x 35 mm cup head, stainless steel hex bolts. Cost about $1 each in Bunnings. I could only get the security version but at least the bars will be harder to pilfer.

Nice Paul_R.

Ive got the exact same setup as you, wagon, blue no roof.

I dont miss the roof although it would have been a nice addition.

Can i ask how much you paid, and where you got it from, Im wondering if my 66k was a good driveaway price with euro plates.
