Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

^ Thanks Steve, was aware of the ?need to cycle through modes each time, I definitely get the ++soundakator in Race mode but flatulence is sadly lacking. Wonder if a res delete might help get the job done?

Yep, I get creaks as well, from the back of the car, near the back seats.

Had the same issue with back seat drove me nuts thought it was suspension , turns out its the seat locks they rattle , use some insulation tape on the hoops not too much as it can make it hard to push down seat , it will do the fix , all quiet now

Yep - another contentious topic. Coming from the drainpipe-exhaust crowd in my youth I'm a bit underwhelmed with my res-delete. But if you've not had a noisy car yet, and your expectations are suitably low, you may very well be impressed.

Brilliant suggestion, thank you. Might hit up the dealer next one I’m there, get it done under warranty.

I rarely drive mine in race as the steering is too heavy and is only good in the twisties up glorious but noticed when you put it in race the windows rattle and the rest if the car starts buzzing heaps. Is it hard to disconnect the soundaktor?

Also a lack of mute button? Is there one ? For the life of me I can't find it, seems a massive over sight if there isn't.

No mute button?
Don't you know that VW know what we want even when we don't!

The power button is the mute button - single press for mute/un-mute - long press for power off.

Ok cool I'll give it a try. Should be on the steering wheel but that'll do

The voice control button on the wheel acts as a mute button.
