Golf R Observations and Questions

Works for me? And specifically references Lucas' DIY on pad replacement, and the details of the pads he recommends: Remsa.

Yeah had a chat with Lucas already. Pity Bendix still don't make pads for the R. Had them on the rex and highly recommend.

Don't know if you you can get Ferrodo DS2500s for the Golfs but I put them on my track car and it was night and day between whatever it had on it originally. Took it to Sandown and couldn't get them to fade on a track which is notoriously hard on brakes.

After three sessions, there was still somehow very little brake dust and they still pulled the truck up time and again each corner. Fantastic pads. Again, not sure if they make them for the Golfs though.

Yeah, got it working. Seemed to be a Tapatalk problem. Worked fine normally. Thanks.

Feel for you mate, I also placed an order in Oct 2011. They told me March, then May, then June, now September maybe.

Will have waited 12 months and the whole point was so that I could move my GTI before it got too close to 100K kms, now I'm at 99K dammit.

Cancelled the R after waiting 10 months and have ordered something else I wanted and it will be delivered in three weeks!! Wouldn't have happened had it come when they said it would. Bit dissapointed but over it now. If you're like me and very particular with what you drive, it's difficult cos not much really compares to the R I think so it's hard. Painful wait eh...

I ordered mine in May 2012 and was told november delivery. Just checked the VW tracker website and my R is on a boat headed for Aus with estimated off load date 30 Aug. If all goes well (touch wood) i should be driving it first week of Sept.
