The official I have ordered/received my new MKVI thread

[Corey_R]

Anyhow, in Sport I could have sworn the steering got a little heavier ... anyone confirm this?

Yes, the ACC also adjusts the steering weight. Sport is heavier than Normal/Comfort

The MY11 Bluetooth (all the latest delivered Rs have it as standard - RCD610 or something) is pretty trick.

This is not correct. Bluetooth is a factory option across the board in the Golf Range (Except on the 77TSI where it's not available from the factory but can be fitted as a dealer accessory).

Can anyone tell me if doing !20 kph up a steep hill at 100 km on the odometer is bad for it? Just couldn't help it really ....

It's fine for the car, as long as you have warmed it up. Although, how'd you get your car out to the NT where it's legal to do 120kph whilst still having only 100km on the ODO?!

I might have to head up to NT then

I wish Australia did have an Autobahn - it's not like we're crammed for space

All I know is dealer told me Bluetooth standard on MY11 golfs. Admittedly they couldn't show me how to work it. And now that I check, I paid $500 for that option. Mmmm, oh well, it is a phone with 4 wheels 80% of the time ... and it was 6 months ago that I ordered the options. Apologies, will update specs above.

I can see where you might be coming from. I think its because the MY11 onwards have the bluetooth integrated into the car without the unsightly external hardware.

But yes its not "standard" exactly, but is now integrated. hope your enjoying it anyway mate.

halojump, can I ask a couple of questions regarding the APR??
1- Does your warranty get affected?
2- How much for the exhaust?
thanks in advance...

There's been a lot of discussion about this elsewhere and I don't want to start a whole new topic, but
1. Don't quote me but I don't think so, unless the modifications cause an issue
2. Check out APR - High Performance Development for Audi, VW Porsche and Skoda Vehicles. for exact details
