My R also occasionally goes low coolant. Apparently it's just a thing. I bought a bottle of pentosin that should last me forever.

Styles Bitchley posted:Just realized the Mk7 Golf R does NOT have a sunroof and now I want one even more.  would recommend. only thing i dont like is how 'sport mode' just keeps the turbo spun up and a gear down and is all but useless in city driving unless you want to convert 93 octane gas into noise

VelociBacon posted:Are you saying this car has antilag because I don't know how they could do that with a catalytic converter in place? Would be amazing though. i'm probably saying it wrong? it just seems to consistently keep the revs higher, by being a gear down from where it would be in "non sport" mode which is useless if you dont have 20 feet of space in front of you. or maybe i'm using sport mode wrong idk

I don't suppose there's any easy fix for the leather on my mk7 r seats starting to seperate? VW Part is $550. Or I could just embrace the stupid and get some seat covers. It's not a big deal i guess, but it has me bummed. Deviant fucked around with this message at 21:52 on Mar 18, 2023 |

Charles Leclerc posted:I wonder if the PO just shoehorned in a 'close enough' model's software update? I don't use Carplay but Android Auto seems to work just fine and I've found Waze is much better than Audi's implementation of Google maps, which seems to have a penchant for sending my big rear end car down every single track country road in a 20 mile radius of my destination. I wasn't aware of any way to update the software outside of the dealer. If there is, I'd like to update my Mk7's infotainment to maybe make the bluetooth song titles stop lagging behind by a track or two. Dealer wouldn't even look at an update without a diagnostic fee, which they can go gently caress themselves on.

Charles Leclerc posted:It's a lot easier if you have an SD card slot in the car. Usually a good idea to leave the car on trickle charge too as it can take a couple of hours. I've never even found a source _for_ the update. Where? I have a slot, it's a Mk7 Golf. Edit: I found mibsolution, but I'm unclear on which firmware to install. There's MST2_US_VW_P0867D_MU0867 and MST2_US_VW_P0635D_MU0757, and i imagine that has to do with my platform type?

Double posting because it's a new day. I've pulled my SW Version and I have MST2_USVW_ZR_P0245T. Mib-helper says that the newest version is MST2_US_VW_ZR_P0253T, but on mibsolution.one, in Firmware/MST2, I don't see a MST2_US_VW_ZR_P0253T file, the closest is ZR-CM-VW-0253.img Does anyone happen to know what I should be using here? Edit edit: found it, installed it, and it didn't fix the issue where my bluetooth track titles lag behind by one song.

Is the internet insane or could I seriously get 20-23k for my Golf R right now? That'd leave 19-20k after I pay it off, and hoo boy, that might do something nice.

lack of a sunroof is my favorite thing about my mk7 golf r my least favorite thing is that it needs 4 new tires, has a low oil light, and blew an AFS turn light and i'm not sure which one.

I'm also gonna cross post, because I'm making headway but i'm still not sure about this CEL issue on my mk7 golf. https://forums.somethingawful.com/newreply.php?action=newreply&postid=537885467 (starts there and continues) rough starts, P2188 CEL citing "System Too Rich Off Idle Bank 1". cleaned the MAP, but not sure what else if it doesnt play.

Between here and the hatch thread I know y'all are sick of hearing about my mk7, but the crank+no-start problem was fixed by a high pressure fuel pump. 30 minute install, top mounted, all i needed that I didn't have was some triple-square bits.

people swear off dealers for all sorts of reasons for example, the VW dealer east of me refused to give me a hard price on the 25th anniversary golf and as such i do not own one and they will not ever get my business. see also the dealer that gave me a price WITH a 20% dealer adjustment. gently caress you, you don't get an extra five digits of my money because you lucked into something unusual.

I posted this in the hatch thread, but can anyone recommend a lower-dust brake pad set for a 2016 Golf R that won't sacrifice performance compared to oem/stock? Due for a replacement and I don't love having to clean the front wheels constantly.

These are for day to day driving, to be clear. No track. The stock pads produce an unacceptable amount of dust and frankly VW should be embarassed.VelociBacon posted:I've been extremely happy with my Akebono ceramic pads. You can use the same rotor (I like centric vented blanks), they have very good initial bite and very little fade, require very little to no warmup, and have essentially zero dust. They're also lasting me forever. I understand that they wouldn't be suitable for heavy track use because they retain heat more and can overheat... I've done 4-5 track days in my car driving at probably 8/10ths and they never faded. Perhaps this is a consideration in longer track sessions or in hotter climates. https://www.ecstuning.com/b-akebono-parts/front-rear-brake-pad-set/3557817kt/ Well, the price is right, and I don't have a commute.

Ooh, ECS has the spare tire kit back in stock too. Bought that and the pads. Spreader tool (heh) from amazon. Easy money. Edit: should I do the rotors while I'm in there? Seems easy, but the price inflates. Deviant fucked around with this message at 22:24 on Apr 12, 2024 |

VelociBacon posted:I would since worn rotors will prematurely gently caress the pads a bit and you're in there already as you say. I don't think you even need to take the carriers off the hub if you have the pads out (to replace the rotors). Can you throw me a link (or pair of links) ideally from ECS (seems like the best price and free S&H)? Your application sounds a lot like mine.

VelociBacon posted:I ordered from Rockauto, I'm Canadian, and I have a mk5 (2007) GTI so I don't think our application is the same part numbers. Here's my order summary: I mean, I don't mind ordering from rockauto, I already got these pads: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-akebono-parts/front-rear-brake-pad-set/3557817kt/ I could absolutely cancel that order if Rockauto has them. They don't make it easy to shop though. Edit: ECS's kit is just EUR1760 and 1779 together. So that's easy. Centric just doesn't seem to be carried by many vendors?

VelociBacon posted:I updated my post so take another look but honestly a rotor is basically a rotor especially just for street use. I would avoid drilled and slotted as these can accelerate wear on the pads and the benefits aren't realized on a street car. I like centric but any 'blank' rotors for this application are going to be vented and fine. By vented I mean this: Yeah, it is vented from the factory.
