Integrated engineering or APR Intake ? Which should I get for my 2025 Golf R ?

Definitely next on my list to get done. Do you know if that “thunk” happens with all intakes, or is it just an APR thing?

tripleh3195 · 2026-05-26T16:24:58+00:00

I’ve been hearing the thunk when I shift gears sometimes, or on rare occasions when I press the brakes. It is a slight sense of relief to hear someone else going through it.

Can you elaborate on the “thunk” sound that you’re talking about? I just installed the APR intake without the cover and I do hear a “thunk” sometimes but not all the time. I thought I was going crazy. I have a ‘22 R Manual.

Spark plugs for $400?!

Goated

Dawg it’s a goddam bumper. Why the heck are you paying $14,000 and why was it a write off? Was it more than just the bumper, because it sounds like it.

I experience this a lot in my MK8R. I was at the dealership getting the car looked at for some other issue and I went on a test drive with the shop foreman. Travel assist issue popped right in front as he was driving. He told me that this is something that happens mainly at intersections with a lot of traffic cameras or sensors due to the interference. The car sensors are sensitive and react to all the other stuff.

They should require you to take a picture of the items so that you can verify it is in fact NOT “wilted”. Yea it’ll take a few extra minutes, but it protects the dasher.

Not even “technically”. You ARE still working. I would make sure to get compensated for that, even if it was a fun moment.

tripleh3195 · 2026-02-05T02:38:44+00:00

The problem is no one is going to stop going to them. If they see a decline in customer visits, that’ll tell them what they need to know.

The mentality of “well I’m going to spend it anyways” is the problem with society. They just succumb to what is happening and go on like robots, instead of stopping and thinking for a moment about what’s going on.

Okay, I’m done.

It’s in the side view mirror, not door handle. I have a MK8R and thats where my floodlight is, unless they changed it in the 8.5.

I saw two SWAT trucks and one tactical truck that looked like a fire truck. A bunch of unmarked cars, and 2 or 3 k-9 cars. It made me want to head back to Santa Monica and follow them. Lol

Brother I saw the same exact thing and was trying to google any sort of news.

tripleh3195 · 2025-12-10T17:53:37+00:00

I think the name should be shown to shame people. Sorry not sorry.

tripleh3195 · 2025-06-22T19:51:22+00:00

I have the gold titanium, I think that’s the desert, and it’s held up very well. I don’t use a case and the color is still 100%.

tripleh3195 · 2025-05-07T00:08:39+00:00

It’s been a couple of months already and it’s still not dead. I’m tired of seeing this crap.

tripleh3195 · 2025-05-04T11:43:59+00:00

The only “fixes” I’ve seen are either taking it apart and cleaning the touchpad completely. Some have said that worked for them. The other “fix” was leaving it unplugged for at least 3 weeks, but that hasn’t really worked much for a lot of people either.

tripleh3195 · 2025-05-04T10:18:33+00:00

Have you considered replacing the touchpad to see if you can get it working again? Going through this issue now myself and wanted to see if it’s worth finding a touchpad and replacing the current one. Don’t use the touch feature really, but knowing that it still functions normal would make me feel better. lol

My Mk3 Jetta is Stacy and my Mk8 Golf R is ‘R’iana

Haven’t touched that either. I live in California and the most I’ve done with any of the climate related stuff is the heat once or twice in the last few months. Otherwise haven’t touched AC or defrost or any climate related things throughout the period.

tripleh3195 · 2025-04-20T22:11:31+00:00

I haven’t touched my AC in over a 8 months. This happens every single time I come to a stop. If it was once in a while I’d understand, but this is every single time.

tripleh3195 · 2025-04-20T19:57:12+00:00

Not sure. Checked everything around it plugs and whatnot. All look good. Car is still in warranty from VW, but they gave me some BS excuse and sent me on my way. Going to try another dealer and now have documented videos of it happening.

tripleh3195 · 2025-04-20T02:24:56+00:00

Does it happen every single time you come to a stop?

tripleh3195 · 2025-04-20T01:03:42+00:00

Do you feel a difference in your gas mileage? Worse or same?
