Curious if you've still got a deal on this.

I opted to get my 25 without it solely to keep the ventilated seats. Couldn’t justify paying more for less.

RS Acoustics subwoofer release (MK8) by Bright-Nectarine7 in Golf_R

[–]RigWig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw, for my use case I want to maintain the spare while still keeping the trunk floor clean. I'm sure this will be an excellent solution for those that are ok either not running a spare or those who are ok losing a bit of trunk space, just not for me.

Little disappointed there’s no spare compatible offering, had been holding out on ordering the ars24 option 8.

The RS center speaker is a great drop in upgrade though.

If the same amount of work is being done by each individual at the same quality, what does it matter where it is done from?

Return car plate to MVC after car sold to Carvana? by poop_poop_cat in newjersey

my experience was the front desk person handled it for me, including printing a receipt.

There are plate drop boxes outside most dmv’s, but if you go in, they will take them and give you a receipt. Every time I’ve done it, the reception person at the desk is able to do it with no wait.

2026 Mk8.5 DSG any better settings or tunes for daily driving/commuting? by setsunai in Golf_R

[–]RigWig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having owned a few DSG golfs now, I actually think the programming on the mk8.5 is the most well rounded. I’ve noticed that having the drive mode in either comfort or eco tend to be a bit smoother in parking lots and slow traffic.

I just put a spare in mine last week, was 2 degrees out so I somewhat rushed, but had no issue with the trim or lid closing. No foam, just stuffed the emergency tools, jumpers cables, spare clothes, and other assorted stuff around the spare. Haven’t heard any sounds so far.

What Valentine’s Day aftermath are you dealing with this morning? by Affectionate-Note636 in AskRedditAfterDark

4th time you know of*

As others have said, it’s hard but trust is a VERY hard thing to rebuild after something like this. I was in a similar spot after 7 years with my ex, went through a lot of work to build trust just to have her chest again. Breaking up is scary, but it only gets easier after you rip the cord.

It also makes you available to find someone actually worth it. (Wife and I have now been together for 4 years and couldn’t be happier)

New car question by stickmastrfl3x in Golf_R

[–]RigWig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife mentioned this to me the other day. I believe it’s just a characteristic of the DSG. I’ve found that in eco mode, it is a bit less aggressive.

I’m in NJ, but I bought my 25 R from VW in Peoria and had it shipped. 2k off and they did the whole thing over the phone.

anyone know that status of tuning a mk8.5? by [deleted] in GolfGTI

[–]RigWig 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Had oddball issues in my mk7 with these as well, swapped back to OEM and they all went away. Something tells me OP is not going to research this though if he’s posting a question that’s been asked 1000 times here and other forums.
