maybe this is a stupid question but has anyone tried/seen a mk8 gli shifter (dsg) on a mk7/7.5 golf r/gti? It looks similar enough and I feel like the button basically just unlocks the gates so you can shift the car in and out of the PRND, etc. looks similar enough to the mk7s...

I have this map where I botched a launch control (and I kept the stick shunted right so it was stuck in M) and I redlined 1st gear a bit before the computer shifted automatically for me. I've included the log here - according to the JB4 app, it says I pulled a 2.2 but I on this map, if I count...

Hey, so my shop told me that my front strut mounts are shot. My car (bought CPO has only 36k miles but I drive around in NYC's pothole infested roads. Does this seem right? Also, if I do need a swap - how much am I looking for (on average) to do the job, and should I get 034 strut mounts or OEM...

I was wondering if you guys are getting similar results with a JB4 or maybe a stage 1 from APR or somewhere. I haven't actually been able to do a good pull anywhere but these are my results: I'm using log-based but I'm thinking about getting a Dragy...

While installing my JB4 I lost this grommet. Anyone know the part number? Thanks!

Has anyone tried this yet? https://www.ecstuning.com/b-ecs-parts/mk75-golf-r-valved-catback-exhaust-system/027979ecs~dk/?pdk=BAECAg The youtube video I found on their channel seems new so I'm not sure if this is a new product or not. Thoughts?

Is it normal for them to be charging a diagnostic fee? My ACC/Front Assist is acting up. I'm only asking cause I've had an Audi ('18 S4) before and whenever I went in with random issues (due to my mods or not) they wouldn't charge me to diagnose - they'd tell me it's my issue or theirs and then...

Hey guys, I have a 2018 Golf R and I just got an issue with the Front Assist/ACC. It says "Front Assist is unavailable" or something along those lines. It happened to me earlier today right after the snow - was still snowing a bit. I figured maybe some snow got on it so I figured I'll check it...

So I came from a 2018 S4 Prestige so I had the traffic jam assist where it'd steer for you in traffic. It was pretty cool but after an accident - my sensors got f'd up (i went w/ a rs4 style grille too) and like a whole buncha shit. Basically it stopped working and the stealership wanted to...

Hey guys, I was wondering if you had any recommendations on dealers for service in the area? When I'm more modded I was leaning on Linden dealer as I heard they're more mod friendly but for now, convenience + non-assholes would be ideal. I live in brooklyn, work in queens, ideally something in...

Have any of you guys gotten PPF or Ceramic Coat for your cars in NYC? How much was it? Would you recommend it? I daily drive my Golf R and it's driveway parked (at work & at home) but not garaged. Thanks!

Hey guys - I know I'm late to this as I'm sure you've all figured it out by now but I am not sure what type of oil to get (looking at DAP/ECS/FCPEuro) - it seems I can do 5W30 or 5W40 - what would you guys recommend for a summer change (now)? I'll probably have to get another one done when...

Hey guys, I have a local pick-up available for a used JB4 w/ BT for $250 which is pretty cheap, tbh (maybe $300 with tolls & gas). I was wondering what your thoughts are on that vs a new JB4 which i think comes out to like 460~ shipped for data cable? Thanks!

So I want to get something for the trunk spoiler (extension or something more possibly) to make the rear more aggressive-looking, especially from the side. But I was wondering what y'all thought about material for things like spoilers, or lips (front, side, rear) - eventually I'll probably get...

Hey guys, I just got a MK7.5 Golf R (2018) - my first actual VW. I previously ran whatever winter tires I could get my hands on for my previous cars, but this time, I kind of narrowed it down to these two as their price difference is some what significant so I'm just wondering if it's worth the...
