Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

I used to check it often but it lasts almost the entire 15,000kms/1 year between services. Plus I can see a number value representing how much oil I have on the dash. So I check it when I refill the windscreen washer bottle or just before a big trip.

Feel, no.

Hear, yes - love that induction sound you get from having a pod filter on a car. It was actually something I mentioned to James @ HP that I think it was the first mod I ever did to my first 1987 TN Magna when I got it was go down to Repco and buy a K&N pod filter

Thought this was interesting, apparently the outer exhausts are closed during Eco mode and there are also other changes that occur between Eco > Normal > Race.

Hence why the two inner pipes gets black quicker then the outer ones.

Is the black just unburnt fuel??
Mine are starting to staim and I wash them weekly

I assume the sound change is achieved with butterflies activated electronically?

If so, does anyone know of any aftermarket exhausts taking advantage of the butterfly actuators enabling the exhaust to be quietened down if required?
