Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

Done a little over 3000kms. Haven't tried the launch (if that's what you meant), but do use Race reasonably often. Hopefully, it will be what the warning light indicates and just be a faulty catalytic converter!

Yeah for sure. Fingers crossed that's all it is.
Not sure why it would tell you that reverse gear is unselectable and then also not change gear automatically when in D

Me either!

Good luck with it. Hopefully they can get to the bottom of the issue. Keep us all updated on the outcome.

Thanks. Will do

Seems odd that those two things are so far removed? Perhaps an earth strap was forgotten to be put on the engine?

[Redwards67]

Who knows? We'll see!

I've been given a price of a bit over $61,000 for an R with DSG and all options with Corporate Plus discount. Looks like people have beaten this? How much have people managed to get a base model S3 for? I'm quite happy for people to have a laugh, I'm a failed A250 Sport owner! Can't stand the thing. The suspension is completely intolerable and the gearbox is rubbish. I'd had 2 GTI's before this thing.

Welcome back to the fold - hopefully! On the question of S3 pricing, shouldn't you be asking this on the ozAudi forum?

I thnk I should be able to get the R for a bit cheaper. I'm trying to justify staying with VW! I wish I'd never left. Dad has an S3 but it was $75 on the road with all options. I think the R is much better value and I like the VW interior a lot more. I think Audi have removed so many buttons for an uncluttered look that the dash looks quite bland now. The Audi MMI system drives me mad as well. The Merc one is very simple and easy to use. I'm glad VW have stayed with a "normal" dash. I'm driving the R and GTI PP on Wed.
