Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

Does the TSI have the same gearbox?

No the tsi has the 7 speed dry clutch dq200(rated max 295nm with a tune) vs the the new dq381 in the 7.5 golf r , golf alltrack diesel and audi s3 which is rated 430nm normal and 600nm or so with a tune its a beast of a gearbox :)

Hey guys,
In the Mk7.5 golf R, when in 7th gear traveling at 100km/h what RPM is the engine doing?

Cheers

From memory, comfortably under 2000, but I think closer to 1800.

That'd surely be the veeery long throttle travel in the R. I think the pedal travels almost twice the distance as the little Mazda I just had. Maybe VW think it'll help the fine modulation needed on those tricky, wet track days that one percent of us might attend.

Pedal box fixes this with no negative side effects. I hate the 7.5's long, soft pedal travel. Makes the car feel sluggish and non-responsive.

Just noticed a scratch on my driver side door today :( . It's fingernail deep so won't be fixed easily. Soo annoying, not sure how it got there and all I needed was 2 more weeks of keeping it scratch free as I'm getting ceramic coating done on the 15th...
Ohhhh well, can't control these things.

harsh luck!

I got my paint protection done then found some water marks etched into paint work after some light rain last week! Or so I thought, they simply disappeared overnight (not sure how).

A coating won't stop any scratches like that - not sure that will make you feel any better though. :(

Had my first "enthusiastic" drive on wet roads in my 7.5 R wagon today (we've been having a dry spell here since I bought it). I'm impressed with both the traction and the roadholding :) Tyres are Continental 5P. It just grips and goes, in conditions where my Skoda would be spinning the front wheels on take-off and understeering around roundabouts (and yes, I have good tyres on the Skoda: Michelin PS4 with heaps of tread depth). I'm a happy chappy :clap:
