Golf R Observations and Questions

[AdamD]

I don't know the specifics of the ADR's, but the other night I was travelling behind a new Kia Sorento. The LED tail lights came on both on the hatch and the sides and were so bright that I had to cover my eyes!

Yeah, I admit I don't know the specifics either. Maybe it's got to do with the dimensions of the outer tails or something... or perhaps the bling factor.

im not all that good with fiddling around with electric stuff nor do I have any exp with VAGCOM but im in no hurry. However if you can have a look at it i'd really appreciate that.

No worries mate. Next time I've got my car hooked up, I'll check it out. Meantime, if I'm taking too long to respond about it, just PM me.

I would like to know if there is a way to keep the LED DRLs at their brightest settings at all times. I don't like how they dim down when the xenons fire up....

At least they're not like the dozen's of HSV's I've seen with one side not working at all LOL

I'll add the DRL's and tails to my list of stuff to check in VCDS that I never seen to remember to do.... remind me to put the netbook and cable in the car for the next meet!

Woohoo! Okay I will!

My observation is similar to alot of people here before me. Damn car creaks when rolling slowly over uneven ground. Had a look see under the car and saw I have only 1 underbody cross brace.

Not wanting a brace behind the rear seats I was thinking of getting the underbody unibrace only. Do you guys think this would be beneficial and enough bracing?

[Corey_R]

I've wondered that too, but haven't had anyone confirm it...

I wonder whether Fab_R has it installed yet?
Btw... the creaking is the felt and rubber seals on the doors. Many people have treated this and so won't know whether the UB has made any difference anyway....

As corey asked, yes fab did get his installed the other day and I would suggest that fitting that brace would only be a benefit bro as others have said good things about it when fitted to the mkv gti's

I have the UB installed on my MkV GTI and it has made an improvement in stiffening up the chassis.

Was hoping people would say it's a benefit. Wasn't sure if it had to have the brace behind rear seats as well. I know people say that the brace behind the seat is quick to remove but I don't want to get caught out needing the space and the seats folded unexpectedly.

Adzy is spot on....Got it installed last Tuesday....no creaking whatsoever....
