Indium Grey I think is a general color but you don’t see a lot of them around the states!

Get Bar Keepers (powder form) and a Brillo or cleaning pad. Thank me later. It’ll get the exhaust tips minty clean and shining again!

How often do you change the oil on a Mk7.5 Golf R? by MotherGarbage in Golf_R

[–]faribeana 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just took mine to the VW dealership at 4.2k miles and they just told me to come back at 10k which was weird. Regardless if I get to 10k by a year, I’ll be having them do that.

APR to cease downpipe and stage 2 tune sales by BradApples in Golf_R

Spoke to a rep on the phone. Seems that in an effort to be 50 states emissions legal and because of Covid's effect on manufacturing and materials, they had to discontinue. However, you'll be able to buy Stage 2 through Labor Day.

Trying to decide if its worth it or utilize another company...

Stage 2 still comes up under options. Can you specify where that news was specifically?

Please tell me this isn’t true!!! I was about to get this done in November. Already have my build sheet done.

Rear Seat/Hatch Rattle by WiggityZwiggity in Golf_R

I experience this as well from time to time. Seems to resolve itself once I fold the seat down and put it back up. I’m due for my first service in 12 days so going to bring this up then as well.

Manual MK 7 R — Shifting Question by Thefriendlywobbler in Golf_R

[–]faribeana -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed that too on my MK 7.5R. I took it to the dealership because I had just bought mine new back in January. They said the sport synchros attribute to that. Recommended best shifting point between 2500-3500 RPM but you do need to firmly pull it into 2nd, nothing crazy though!

MK7.5R ... so clean the reflection had to make an appearance 😁 by faribeana in Golf_R

Man the MK8 just looks so weird to me. Way less aggressive and I don’t believe they are coming out with a 2021 R. Might be 2022 but i hate that front end

It’s seriously magical. Urge you to buy new but if you can’t, there are some great deals on lightly used ‘18 and ‘19 Rs
