What Accessories are you buying for your MK6 Golf?

Before Dyno - 135.6 kW ?

I am sure R is 188 kW (Standard Power) or am I missing something here?

It's 188KW at the flywheel stock, my figures are at the wheels.

Although 135 atw seems low

Could be, however I was mainly interested in the difference. As we're all aware there are difference between dyno's reads, some high some low - you never know which one it'll be. My car was driven onto the dyno, baseline run was done then still while sitting on the dyno the ECU was flashed and straight after the second run was performed.

188 at the engine

Agreed, when mine was dynoed in stock form it was 158 at the wheel and after tune was 185

Agreed. My R made 186kw a few weeks ago with a Bluefin tune and VW racing intake. The differences from one dyno to another are massive. Id be more concerned with the difference in power, rather than the actual peak figure.

Guys lets not forget every dyno is different.

..and that this isn't the Tuning forum

[Lucas_R]

Yes - that was the point i was trying to make Fab. So instead of worrying too much about the actual power figure, focus more on the difference in power from stock vs tuned etc

nice job there!

Picked up the aluminium pedals for my 118 DSG on Monday from VW Dealer (paid $267 which seemed ok to me). Service Manager grabbed a technician from workshop and had him install for me free of charge.

Lifts the interior yet another notch!

About 7 weeks into ownership - nothing to report, apart from the absolute bliss this thing is to drive.

I also queried the Service Manager on the 7500km service and it's cost (I will be there in about 3 weeks!) and he said due to the type of oil in the engine, VW dont actually want the car UNTIL the 15000 service is due and that to actually change the oil beforehand COULD void the warranty. WTF?
