Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

[jacs]

Can you believe im at the dealership as I type waiting on the Drivers side sunvisor to be fitted. ...it was brought to their attention a month ago at the 1st service and had to be ordered. Fingers crossed its the fix !!

After a minor hassle at the dealership (they told me the part was accidentally sold to someone else 3 weeks ago after letting me wait1.5 hours .....after some tooing and froing they reluctantly took one off a new vehicle) with the new visor fitted, to be honest, im not convinced its any better !!!
Looks like ill be doing my own fix.

Had the same problem with my mk7 R, told the dealer at first service and they were going to order in part and let me know. That was a year ago, I am sure you are surprised. I just stuck a piece of paper between where the light is under the visor which does the trick.

I had the same and the dealer said it was a known fault and they fixed it. It started to happen again for me a few weeks after they fixed it and I pushed on the light behind the visor and it solved the issue. It's a problem with the light hitting the hard plastic mirror cover so pushing it up a little puts some space between the two it seems

Nice wheels on the Wolfsburg... Did you go for one with the "carbon" leather? If so, how is it?

I have covered 800km all going well car is a revelation, impressed by the build and engineering seems well put together no rattles apart from the previously mentioned drivers sun visor. It rides well even on secondary roads in 'Comfort' setting compares well with my previous MK6 in 'normal' DCC mode. Washed the car yesterday and noticed this on my front left tyre looks like a nail breezed the edge of the tyre yet didn't touch the rim $400 for a new one has me puzzled how it occured can't remember hitting anything. Anyone else seen this kind of damage without impacting anything.

The only options in a Wolfsburg are 1. Wagon or hatch, 2. Sunroof or not, 3. oryx white, limestone gray or lapiz blue. So they all get the carbon style seats.

Ah I c... how do they feel compared to the standard leather, if you've had a chance to compare them? I found the standard leather ok, but nothing special. In the pics the carbon looks very nice...

Not similar but I've had 3 punctures in the last 15 months compared to 0 in 6 years in our previous car. Nails love em!
