Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

[Tinhillterror]

Waiting to hear back from the dealership on the issue with our 7.5 Golf R Wagon.

Early comms doesn’t look good…” “Cylinder 3 misfire was found, swapped around spark plugs, fuel injector's and ignition coils.
Misfire was still evident, carried out a compression test on cylinder 3 and found to have 40 PSI.”

So, worst case scenario, if I need a new engine, is there anything I should look to add/modify at the same time? The rest of the car is stock, and only done 77K

Wow the 8.5 R seems to have raised the bar, may be tempted to upgrade next year.

My 2018 7.5 Golf R has hit 30k km and I am wondering about the DSG service. According to this thread, it should be 120,000 kms / 8 years. Some posts (potentially overseas) say it's purely distance based. Has anyone got a definitive steer?

60,000km seems to be the norm for most models and is part of that service
