Had my test drive last night!!!! :happy2:
-
fantastic car! quicker than VW quote!

What state of tune Twiggy, was yours stock?
Does look abnormally fast which is fantastic :evilgrin:
I can't see how with stage 1/a tuning box that I would ever need something quicker, genuinely.

The car in the video was one on test from VW, standard and was running on Vpower nitro fuel.

Ha ha had not noticed
Great spec nice and simple and performance oriented

MQB platform vehicle will definitely be my next car. Wish the Golf R was as good as the GTI on fuel

Should be here in December. So much more raucous than I thought it would be. A different car to the M135i I had, but very very good!!!

I'm sure you'll end up loving it, I think they look like a truly capable, 'drivers' Golf. Some of the in gear and launch performance around the net shows crazy stats.

Whats the motorway MPG? I can handle 34mpg average (long term) as thats what my eddie does . . .
I dont want my monthly 190 mile somerset trip to cost too much. The mk7 GTI seems do do 40-43mpg if driven gently on a run :party:

I don't do much motorway driving but I think the R could have done with having an extra gear as revs a bit high at motorway cruising speeds

How much did you get it for, if you don't mind me asking?

£330 a month but that's with dsg,leathers,lapiz paint,19's an fully maintained. You need to be careful with some of these deals there too good to be true. There was a load on pistonheads & R forum that got caught out
-
They're even faster on a Revo Stage 1!
Can't wait to get mine, shame there's a waiting list for them :(
-
Ours is built and on the boat on the way over :smiley:
-
I have an S3 and it will easily do 40mpg even doing 75+ and you don't really have to try tbh, miles better than my cupra ever was.

2014 S3?
Thanks impresive! :smiley:
-
Yes mate. Trust me if you stick at 70mph on a run youll probs be doing mid 40's.
Mines done 12k now so well run in and it keeps getting better and better. Might improve further with a map.

£330 a month, what milage you down as covering a year? did you put a large sum up front or just 3 months? £330 is awesome. :drool:

So what is your average MPG ? A 7R or S3 will be by next car after i've persuaded the Wife thats what she wants :grin:

Not sure ill check tomoz but would have thought 30 something mpg. Got a TMC box to go on until theres a stage 2 map out from Revo or GAIC so should be fun.
Exhaust is spot on but these cars are ALOT louder than the previous model. I have a full resonated system and its still louder than my Cupra with a non res decat system. Got a titanium one going on soon and ive asked for bigger silences its mad tbh. Sounds awesome round town but a bit long in the tooth on a run.
Not sure wether its the engine noise been played into the cabin that makes them so loud, could do with a vagcom expert disabling the soundaktor thingy if theres any takers?

You can disable the sound actuator yourself. There's a plug under the plastic scuttle panel that you can disconnect
-
I disconnected the soundaktor (temporarily) in my mk6 R and even with a non-res milltek, I thought the 4-pot sounded very plain jane.. I missed that emulated vr6 sound :confused: :grin:
-
Anyone got a photo of what I'm disconnecting under the scuttle panel? Cheers.
-
Not got a picture but this explains it. Got this off the Rforum
Just lift the bonnet, pop off the right hand bit of trim up by the wipers, unplug the grey plug right in the centre of the bottom of the windscreen which goes into the half visible round speaker type device and hey presto - done. I googled and found a guide, it's a really simple job.
-
Yeah sorted it mate dead easy actually :happy2:

Is this likely to flag a soft vcds fault code?

Nothing shown up on my mk6 since I disconnected my 'soundaktor' 6 months ago :happy2:
