Golf R Wagon thread

[veew]

Reviving an old thread. Was looking for Golf R wagon thread for ages and finally stumbled across this.
Just wondering how I go about requesting this to be a sticky as I'm sure it would make life alot easier for others with R Wagons.

Will get my hands on a Mk7.5 Golf R wagon in a month or so, very excited! Now to trawl through the other 19 pages to see if there are any mods I might want to do.

Sound: Intake & Catback (or res delete)
Performance: Tune (or JB4) and then downpipe
Cosmetic: Wheels, etc

I suggest you drive it for at least a few weeks to see what you like, and what you would prefer to change.

Of course, just trying to make the time pass quicker until I get the car lol

i'm wanting more noise too from my Wagon so will probably get an exhaust as I will also eventually get a down pipe and tune. Stock for Wagon exhausts are limited in Australia at the moment though - which limits options

Sorry for the sillily question, as I am yet to ever mod a car amd I’ve read this so much on VE forums. What is a ‘res delete’ and what does it do?

The resonator is the centre muffler. Straight piping it makes the hatch sound sweet but people reckon it ruins the wagon

I’ve seen many reports from those who’ve done it. Unfortunately causes drone in a wagon.

Changed boot light to LED.
Still had the LED light from when I bought it for the Tiguan: Accessories

Same size and such a massive difference in light output.

Yeah, the standard globe is pathetic so I did the same. But the LED one I put in was nice and bright for a while, then started not working intermittently (it was a cheapie from ebay). I have a few extras so no big deal to replace it again if needed.
