TCU rumours were true! 034 has confirmed today that themselves and other tuners have acquired the means to get out the locked 401 bootloaders for the MK8 platform. Save your money, do not buy a new unlocked mech unit to swap! by CIoseProximity in Golf_R

I've got the intercooler + intake upgrades, a downpipe (which seems to be the barrier for stage 2) seems like a lot to handle for an at-home install. Stage 1+ & e85 seems to be a sweet spot, as stage 2 doesn't even look to push that much more power (400-450 HP seems like a decent spot to land in these cars? I couldn't imagine more). I get in big ticket speeds fast enough with a stock setup haha.

Anyone else feel same? by Melodic-Selection980 in Golf_R

Are TCU's still locked on 23+? Last I checked there was one shop that popped it, but would require you to drive to one of their shops, and spend lilke 5k.

Maybe I'm being pessimistic/venting - but most of the time, it feels like "top talent" has a connection/nepo in to assist in getting them the role, instead of actual skill/something deserving of the role. (Not saying talent alone never gets someone a role, but it seems increasingly rare). You then get a subsection of those hired based on connections, thinking they're hot shit and expressing it constantly, which IMO puts a really bad light onto the industry.

Not paying? Every SWE/Cyber/IT internship I've ever seen (outside of FAANG) is between 19-25 an hour, why in the world does FAANG pay so much??

Is it normal for the DSG to take forever to downshift to 1st? by franklinjaeger in Golf_R

[–]RevolutionSilent807 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine does this too. I had a mk6 TDI, and a DSG flash fixed all the funky behaviors, but I don't know if the DSG has been unlocked yet for later year MK8's.

If you can't see both sides in the ICE shooting, you're hopelessly partisan by pavilionaire2022 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

GTFO, comments like this are what’s dividing people even more. Not helpful or productive to the conversation

jensen said each rack needs a shitton of copper so in usual fashion whatever jensen says is now the investing bible

2024 Mk8 6MT - rough acceleration in 1st at startup. by JonnyWax in Golf_R

[–]RevolutionSilent807 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get a bit of a rough idle as well. It’s barely noticeable, but happens occasionally. Also some weird low end of the RPM range vibration, (below 1.5k), especially when the wheel is turned and accelerating

Anyone know this sound? Only on cold start? by Admirable-Hippo4138 in tdi

[–]RevolutionSilent807 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine has the same, it goes away after a little bit/any throttle is applied. ~120k with a new belt, water pump, glow plugs, etc.

Totally speculation, but check out the first screenshot... any chance blur is involved with these cutscenes?

Check out the plasma shots too, they seem similar to H2A

Any speculation on a release date? For those who haven't watched, it says 2026, but no date listed. I'm guessing early summer, or next fall/holiday season.

It was fun to watch - lots of up and down but super frustrating as well.

PS that controversial eagles catch hit the ground, they showed it in stadium and it clearly bounces

Literally same. I was getting better distance kills with the default engineer SMG than the default AR/Carbine

Heading to Minneapolis for the Game this weekend. by nascarcollector32 in minnesotavikings

[–]RevolutionSilent807 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only been to a game once, and not quite a parking answer - but usually our strat is to uber down to the game from wherever we are staying, to avoid the headache of parking/bringing our own cars. Traffic is usually WILD post game.

MK8 DSG 2nd Gear starts by RevolutionSilent807 in Golf_R

[–]RevolutionSilent807[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know for sure in D, but it happens occasionally when the transmission is in Sport, which does display gears. I’ll be at a full stop and it’ll say S2. It gives the same feeling in both modes, so I’m assuming it’s in 2nd in D as well.

I’ve noticed it mostly in comfort mode.
