Golf R Observations and Questions

+1

Just had a mess around with some settings but had no luck getting them to work.

I tried this as well together with the service advisor at Barloworld and we couldn't get it to turn on. Perhaps it's just for show in the R.

Are there bulbs in there from the factory, or you had to put them in, and then try to get them working?

They had the tyre in the next day, so give them a go....I'm sure they could send it to Melbourne...

Cheers mate, ended up tracking one down which is getting shipped from Brissy.

I don't know to be honest. Offsets for Golf's are typically around the 48 to 50 - but the width of the wheel also effects this. I don't recall a link to any reliable source which states what the standard offsets are for the Talladegas.

WEDS SA-55M in 19 x 8.0 specify an offset of +42 for the Mk6 R if that helps?

PS: It appears that the 3 door R is to become a collectors item

Why is that Dave, are they dropping it ?

Yes. As of the MY12 cars, no more option for 3 door on the R.

Edit - and whilst they're not building MY12 cars yet, because of order lead times, it means you can no longer order a 3 door Golf R.

I love it.. the 5 door v 3 door argument is over and the reality is the better vehicle won out..

But for those that want to continue to conversation , my Urban Grey Subaru is now a collectors item because they have stopped producing that colour

Lol yes... just like VHS was clearly superior to Beta... oh no, wait

UUUMMM argument over?? think not. better vehicle won out?? thems fightin' words. So it takes 20 minutes for an adult to get in the back seat, how cares! and when the door is opened it reaches across the road, not a problem! or there are no opening rear windows, who needs fresh air! the MOST compelling argument for two doors remains: The R looks better in two doors.

Yes, if you're just using the USB socket to plug your iphone in it wont work. You need the proper iPhone cable from the dealer.

i have both. i have the one which can hook up to a USB (i.e plug one end to MDI, then it will allow you to insert a USB flash drive or anything of the like) and i have one which I can hook up DIRECTLY to the iphone. (i.e from MDI unit to iphone/ipod)

yet it says on my iphone that it is not recognised when i use the ipod/iphone connector?

maybe its nto compatible with iphones for listening to songs via the MDI? or is there another SPECIFIC DEDICATED cable for JUST the iphone? (because as you know, apple chargers are all universal for ipod an iphones)
