New Golf R Mk6 owner in Melbourne!

[7smurfs]

Hey All! Recently joined the Golf crew with the acquisition of a 2011 Golf R MK6 DSG with 125,000km on the clock in rising blue!

Am no stranger to performance cars however!
Having previously/currently owned:

• Honda Integra DC2R
• Nissan S15 200rwkw
• Honda S2000 (dedicated track car)
• BMW 135i Stage2+ 300rwkw
• Porsche Cayman 981
• Audi A4 2L T Quattro

Could say I've fully converted from JDM to Euro in my later years! (Am a pretty old now!)

The Golf has been an unbelievably amazing car as the new daily driver! The transmission is very smooth putting around and overall has been very impressive! It is currently stock, however will look to get it to Stage 1 (revo vs. apr) at most as I'd like the car to be as reliable as possible!

It doesn't come without a few niggles/issues however:

• Front badge seems to be superglued on and I can't fix the 'VW' badge to make it straight
  My OCD kicking in (looks straight in the picture below)
• Fuel gauge seems broken - doesn't seem to ever go to the full tank '1'
• Window switches don't work on drivers side and rear passenger side
  Should be an easy $20 fix however? (Master Window Switch Control 5ND959857 Fit VW Jetta Golf MK5 MK6 Passat B6 Caddy | eBay)
• Heater/Cooling fan makes the car smell like old smelly socks and vinegar!
  Have purchased a new cabin filter and the air con cleaner from autoglym to hopefully fix this!
• Head Unit not displaying tracks or having the ability to change to next track via bluetooth
  May look into a RCD 330 unit however am not so sure as I've read it impacts the sound quality with dynaudio systems.
• Feels like the turbos don't work well / car doesn't pull with 4 people in the car. Not sure if it's just in my head!

Best thing I can recommend is a $300 ish head deck with apple play. I bought mine from China on eBay. Don't get me wrong It's not super high end, but definitely bang for buck and reliable. I've had mine for 2 years. Relatively little issues. Apple Car play/android auto all the way.

Thanks for the heads up! Was seriously considering the RCD330+, so your comment may put me over the edge to make the purchase.

My only concern is reports of the MFD not functioning via steering and sound quality degradation with Dyna Audio.
Did you have any issues?
