I didn't realize there was a more specialized thread for me. That's how much of a Golf noob I am. I can't upload images right now, but in December, I drove my car (Series.White WRX) in front of a rapidly moving other car and a week later I ended up with a Golf R off the showroom floor. I only learned this weekend after 5 minutes of trying to figure out how to drive the gas cover that it locks when the doors lock.

E: the R is white and also has RallyArmor mud flaps and bronze wheels like the WRX did.

thank you for moving in a more sensible direction. R is def a less judgemental car then a wrx and far less ticketed.

crossing fingers for you if that holds up the problem though maybe just replace the sensors they aint that expensive and if it got crudded up somehow might not hurt to just swap it

Times I was pulled over in that WRX in 4 years: 0
Times I was pulled over in the R in 2 months: 1
Times ticketed over both those times: 0

The R is more likely to get me a ticket based on how I've been driving it.

In the spring I'll probably go APR+ Stage 1 ECU/TCU. I'm sure that will help the situation.

I don't have any context for how long it has taken you to put on 5k miles, but my car that has 25 miles on December 12th is about to pass 10k miles right around the 4 month of ownership mark.
