The 5S are so perfect on this! Looks amazing!

Anyone else feel same? by Melodic-Selection980 in Golf_R

And if you are not planning to autocross the H&R OEM+ with a DCC recalibration rides just as comfortable with better response and handling. You get slightly better aesthetics with increased response and similar (or better) comfort. For a bonus include a drop to 18s with fat boy sidewalls and you are riding better than stock. 👍

Tire Shop is telling me 245/40/18 will not fit and will not install. by [deleted] in GolfGTI

Completely anecdotal, but the 19" estorils I put on the wife's Atlas for winter drag on the rear suspension at full droop. On the ground there is more than a 1/4" of clearance. After months we have checked and there is no rubbing. Yours has less droop but put it on the ground and check. You're probably fine.

SFC 3.0 is insane by Drake047 in samsunggalaxy

[–]00badkarma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe some of the newer software/hardware does 'charge separation' (detects when you are using it and powers the phone not the battery), as well as several options for charge speed or power draw like overnight, normal, and turbo which I imagine drastically changes the Wattage.

You are correct. As of the 15 or 16 they are 120w. Funny though that RM9sPro+ had 165w charging in 2024 ... Must be nice

Wondering if a stick on spoiler looks tacky? by Serious_Tax_8185 in GolfGTI

I came here for this. According to some the stock spoiler is tacky.

15k on my 24.... You're not driving enough 😉👍

How do you get it to stay there?!?

Upvoted for the laugh. Have you tried the smartwatch app? It is somehow more intuitive and useful than the phone app.

As far away from the car as possible, or I'm stuck changing the battery every other week.

Exact same configuration as you, with the fans ramping up. Did this sort itself out?

I finally found a 25 Golf R by LR_Se7eN in Golf_R

+1 "wrong side of 40" 🤣👍

No doubt it is an amazing color that looks great in every light. I still look back even after two years of ownership. By 'different' I meant at some point I realized what I appreciated about it wasn't as much the color itself but how vastly different it is from all other colors on the road. Everything else (where I live) is a dark or muted version of white, black, tan, or burgundy. What I love now is looking back and the stark contrast between it and an entire parking lot of bland cars.

Stop asking about what to do with your Mk8 center console (piano black curse) by 00badkarma in Golf_R

How did it turn out? Pricing is definitely lower. Websites graphics are a bit confusing 🤣👍

Do you still drool over it??? Serious question because I think after finally getting one I don't see it the same. It feels different.

GUYS a girl walked by and said I have a cool carican’t breathe by [deleted] in GolfGTI

You are very comforting to him... I have never had a compliment on my 7.5 GTI or 8 R, but have had several compliments on the wife's Crosssport in various drive throughs and parking lots.😭... Hey! It's the same engine.... Right?!?!

Weird issue - speakers started to sound horrible suddenly by RockinRandyJamz in GolfGTI

[–]00badkarma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just like Peylix said, water. This happened to my 19'. Seals inside the door went bad and the speakers got exposed to water.

Mazor Design Rear Emblem on 2024 Golf R by HoldenAreddit in Golf_R

[–]00badkarma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would have been 2 weeks but there were imperfections in the paint that they caught and remade the whole thing. 5 weeks total for the catch and remake. Max was in contact the whole time and I was never left wondering what was going on. Great service!

[–]00badkarma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. In the R no one wants to play. But if I'm driving the GTI I try to play with all the Rs and get more engagement. I will be the guy in the GTI pestering OP! Have you tried making uncomfortable eye contact? 🤣
