    SYD Golf R Newbie

    G'day,
    Not long sold the two door taxi for a 2010 Golf R with a list of options.
    Looking forward to gathering information for a few "issues" I have had so far
    Cheers,
    Chris.

    Cheers Mate.
    If anyone could address these general questions that would be helpful. Some easy, some maybe not. Excuse the VW newness

    1) My car has ~45000kms on the clock, and the previous owner had the DSG service done before the 60000km interval (I think its 60000km?) which I'm sure is no drama but the gearbox whines in manual and sport mode in first and second gear, is this normal?
    2) At the time of the DSG service, the car was also upgraded to apr stage 1 + with HPFP to compliment the carbon air box. My question is, are these a generic tune plug and play or do they run them up on a dyno? Not sure if it's the 249kw that they claim. It doesn't seem to be that good on fuel either (My 400rwhp XR6T was better on fuel) Babying it in Drive for a couple of tanks, and the best I can net is 10L/100. OR is this normal?
    3) Some easy ones... Does anyone have trouble with the iPod cable? If I skip too many songs via the steering wheel it says Device not connected, and when you look at the iPod in the console it still says connected?
    4) Not sure if its supposed to, but only one reverse light comes on?

    Any answers greatly appreciated.
    Chris
