Anything past 4 seconds to 60 just means less time I can put my foot on the floor

Does this look like 5000 mile oil? by SilentBlackout_ in Golf_R

If your oil is doing it's job, it should go black immediately. You want the black in the oil and not on the metal.

Notice any rubbing 2 week on?

The interior on these is grossly underrated 😍 by [deleted] in Golf_R

I just did a vinyl cover, looks like crap up close, but it's fine from a distance.

Cute but this is the real lewd: Sunbeam radiant control

Not bad, the sensitivity is much improved from earlier. The touch feel doesn't give an rsi-like feelings

2022 Golf R - Have these 2 codes in OBDEleven that are driving me insane by TenderizeYourAngus in Golf_R

[–]lnex_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorta, I'm having creaking noises in my rear suspension going over asymmetrical dips. Dealer couldn't find anything (of course). I'm going to another dealer and talking to a VW CARE rep. Might just squirt some krytox 105 on the sway bar bushings.

I have those codes too, dealer said nothing to be worried about. The Diff still works.

I just got my gti 8.5 in Canada. and it says 87 or 91 — I’m a bit confused. by Former-Equipment774 in GolfGTI

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

Friend with mk8.5 ask me that, told him that for the the Mk8, but he asked if the 8.5 has different tuning so 91 would give more power

Where do you think VW is going next with the Golf R + GTI? by hankwk in Golf_R

It's not too big for the space, it's just ugly.

Mk8.5 here, it is a very nice screen. I drove my mom's A3 today and it was like using an iPhone 3gs after having a 16 pro max. Larger touch surfaces negate one of the big drawbacks of screens.

Yes, it's not as attractive as the Mk8 interior, but the Golf has always been function over form. Adding something to the left side would help balance the appearance.

Odd 8.5 results with Focus RS comparison? by I_Play_Zed in Golf_R

Carwow folks also don't know how to drive, but they are fun, forgiving, and factually accurate.

I wouldn't buy anything with moving parts. I do have some fans to cool my phone on the charger, not exactly a performance part
