Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

[7R]

Hey all,

I've gpt a 2014 R fully optioned. Had an error come up in the display "Bend Lighting (AFS) failure" which means the little cornering lamps in the headlights are out. I think they are H7 but before I replace them can anyone recommend an alternative that throws a cleaner, whiter, light as the standard kit doesn't seem appropriate with HID and LED DRLs...

thanks
t.

Great question. I’m keen to hear suggestions as well as have often thought that was an oversight in the OEM kit

Took out a Grid R wagon yesterday (was doing a back to back with a M140i) and tbh, for the price its pretty good value. I'm quite keen on the leather interior but the digital dash I could take or leave.

Given they're advertising demos for 50k driveaway atm, has anyone gotten lower for a no frills R?

Exhaust Burble Problems

Love the exhaust burbles on overrun (7.5R) but notice burbles disappear then reappear (car is always in race/sport mode).

Got car back from dealer who put car in individual mode and immediately noticed burbles in sport mode which wasn't there for a while prior. When switching back to race they seem to stay around the disappear after a while. Putting it back to individual seems to 'reset' things.

Thoughts?

I noticed once there wasn't many soon after startup, but they increased once the operating temp was reached. There's obviously a very different fuel profile for a cold motor - maybe they save the overdosing for when the thing's warm. Might make sense ?

Does make sense, and have noticed the same.

Looking for differences between standard R and Wolfsburg edition?

When reversing with the discover pro unit do the lane guide lines move with the steering wheel when you turn it on the Wolfsburg?

No. They stay straight. Bit dated even though it’s ‘updated’.
