Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

Yeah I know what you mean but surprisingly I went in about 2 weeks ago and they got a 5 litre bottle and put about 400ml in and cost me nothing and was done on the spot

I was told by Northstar vw that if you take your golf r back to the service team they will top up the engine oil on the spot, because if you top it up you have no way of proving you filled it correctly and warranty will be void.

And did they not tell you that if you ever open the bonnett, pull the dipstick or even touch the oil cap, vw will void your warranty

Hahahahaha wow. Who told you that, it is part of the owners maintenance listed in the owners manual to do a weekly check on tyre pressure, washer bottle and engine oil

Yeah... weekly...

Great read!

The manual is in black and white, their words and merely air.

When picking up the R the person told me to, "drive it like you own it" and while ambiguous I have chosen to drive it according to the owner's manual...

It's somewhere in between 'babying it' and 'redlining it'

^ This, bring it to temperature and then give it the beans (having said that avoid super "high" revs).

BTW, Mikey1's and my R's ship docks today in Melbourne. Should have our rigs in 2/52

(btw, great find on that review Sergio, another win for the R!)

Awesome! APR Intake goes on this afternoon!!

[hainsey]

I check it every pay fortnight just to make sure it isn't running low on oil, last thing you want is to give it the berries after operating temp is sufficient and then realise late you had low oil
