    Upshifting DSG at low RPM

    In my 2018 Golf R, I can't upshift in manual mode until 2000rpm. I'm pretty sure this was the case when I got it and the TCU was stock, although I've had EQT's tune on it almost since I got it. Is this normal? In D, it can upshift much lower, and won't downshift in calm driving even if the RPMs...

    EQT 'Stage 0' good for inspection/readiness?

    With my old GTI I would flash back from EQT Stage 2 to Cobb's simulated stock tune to get the car ready for inspection (NYC), and never had any issues (spacer working well on the DP). For whatever reason, now that I have a Golf R, the Cobb tunes on my Accessport are greyed out, so I flashed to...

    ACC not working after ECU replacement. Help?

    I wonder if anyone might be able to help me here... Apologies for the long post. I have an NAR 2018 Golf R. Earlier this year, the ECU got fried via contact with the battery, and I had to replace it. I bought a used ECU from an S3 which had the same part number, and was put in contact with a...

    SOLD - 2018 Golf R DSG stock struts & springs

    From an 2018 R DSG with DCC. Nothing wrong with them, I just replaced them because I already had a set of Bilstein B6 Damptronics off the GTI that the R replaced. They had 24k miles on them when I took them off. Looking for $300. Local pickup in NYC preferred but will ship if buyer pays shipping.

    Pad & rotor combo question

    Can anyone confirm for me that I ordered the wrong brake parts for my R? Guessing this is an obvious yes but thought I'd check. I recently had pads & rotors replaced on my R, using what I thought were the same parts I went through two sets of on my previous car, a Mk7 GTI with PP brakes, except...

    FS: ECU from a 2015 GTI

    Thought I'd put this up here in case anyone ever needs one... ECU from my previous car, a 2015 GTI with engine code CXCB (manual but I believe ECUs are interchangeable between 6MT and DSG cars with correct coding). Part number AG06K907425B. $130 local pickup, or happy to ship if buyer pays...

    Help finding new ECU - 2018 Golf R

    Hi folks, so I found this thread about someone who made contact between the positive terminal of their battery with the ECU case with a wrench and fried the ECU. The exact same thing just happened to me when replacing the battery. The only difference in symptoms with my car is that the I don't...

    SOLD - blue-tint non-DAP aspherical mirrors

    Heated and tinted. Brand new, never used, will be in the packaging they came in. I had these as a spare set for my old GTI but the new car has DAP, otherwise I'd be using these. Loved them – the identical set I had on the car were brilliant. $60 local pickup in Brooklyn, NY, or buyer pays...

    FS - all 5 leather NAR GTI headrests

    All 5 headrests from a NAR 2015 GTI Autobahn. Leather with red stitching. I'll clean them before selling, but they're in good condition. One of the rears has a little dent from being stored under one of the others, I think it'll probably come out after a few days (see second pic). $100 picked up...

    I have a used (~50k miles) stock downpipe off a 2015 GTI. I've been offered $575 from a local place for just the two cats, but if someone local needs one of these and is willing to pay anywhere close to that, I'd be happy to pass it on to a forum member. Not willing to ship this. Located in...

    New to DSG. Halp!

    As of a few weeks ago I'm in a new-to-me 2018 Golf R with the 7-speed DSG. Came from a 6MT GTI, and only made the switch to DSG due to some damage to my left hand that currently means I can't safely grip the wheel with that hand while changing gear in a 6MT. I'm one of those annoying die hard...

    GTI part-out feeler thread

    My 2015 6MT PP/LP GTI Autobahn sustained some damage to the front end recently and insurance have declared it totaled. A sad day. She was treated like a queen, and still drives, but I got good money from insurance so I have replaced it with a 2018 R rather than spend the cash to get it fixed...

    ROC-Euro stabilizer arm - what was the verdict...?

    I have a Roc-Euro pendulum arm coming this week to pair with a Powerflex Hybrid insert to replace the stock arm and 034 metal inserts which are starting to feel loose. I know that one (maybe two?) people had disastrous experiences with this arm back in 2018, but lots of people commented on the...
