Wolfsburg Edition Golf R

[gregozedobe]

Has anyone modified there Wolfie yet?

Do Wolfsburg wheel caps and valve caps count ?

No ? Then how a bout a DTE PedalBox+ ? This greatly improved the doughy response to the first 2cm of throttle pedal movement and made my wagon feel a lot more responsive (but no actual increase in power or torque at full throttle).

Anyone have a clear idea of the process and generally how long it takes from the 'Delivered From' notification (seen yesterday) on the WWL site, for the car to arrive at the dealership? Impatiently waiting..

Mine was off the boat in nsw on the 6th, delivered in SA on the 22nd.

Does the 7.5 sound any different to the 7? Louder more pops or more or less the same?

Hard to tell as I’ve gone from hatch to wagon. It’s definitely different. In the hatch, manual, I drove permanently in Sport with the exhaust flaps open. I spent a lot of time on the over run enjoying the deep chested pops from that car. This 7.5 Wagon doesn’t seem as deep chested but has a far better sound when accelerating - a more metallic zing - although you won’t hear it unless the windows are open and then when you get over about 80 kph the wind noise drowns it out. People on the street do hear it. When combined with the rifle cracks on DSG up changes it can attract disapproving attention. I’m thinking of cutting out the resonator.

Thanks for that. My dealer only had the 7 to test so when I do eventually collect should be a brand new experience!

For some reason I love the logical connection between these two points.

Haha. Yeah, I saw that connection too! Love it.

Currently tossing up between a Wolfsburg and an Alltrack with the three optional packages (weird I know). Performance and price aside, the main differences I see are:
Wolfsburg
No Park assist

Alltrack
No blind spot monitor / rear traffic alert

Is there anything else that is a major difference?

I think the Wolfsburg also has the Adaptive Chassis Control as well.

Well I bit the bullet today, got a Wolfsburg Wagon in white with no sunroof. Can’t wait to get it in a few days!

Congratulations, I think you have made an excellent choice (but it is just possible that I might be a teensy bit biased )

You will be very happy to only wait a few days, IIRC some people ordering non-Wolfsburg Golf R wagons were told they would be waiting until March - June

Thanks, I’m sure I will enjoy it. I must have watched almost every YouTube video

I’m not sure what price the R wagons are going for but plenty of Wolfsburgs in stock at Sydney dealers. Despite what they say about being limited edition, limited availability, you can still negotiate on price if you are prepared to buy as they want to move the stock off their floor. I’m very happy with the price I got and it was well less than the advertised $66,005 drive away pricing on the website. I wanted the Dynaudio so R was out of the question

Excellent. No time for buyer's remorse.
