    Am I Crazy? This is NOT a Stock Exhaust, Right?

    Dealer told me the car is certified and everything is stock. But they sent me this picture yesterday. Am I crazy? That doesn't look like a stock unit.

    Reservations to Buying a Relatively Higher Mileage R?

    There is one for sale around me, a 2013, that has 40k miles on it (in service date of September 2012, so 20k per year). It has the sunroof and nav, and I'm considering buying it. The problem is I feel they are asking too much money. I was very close to buying one with 17k miles on it for just...

    Help! Need Part Info Please

    I wanted to put my stock air box back on but unfortunately I can't find the duct piece that attaches to the front of the car. Could someone help me find a part number and price? I'm hoping that the only way is not to purchase a whole new intake (if it is then I guess the carbonio stays for...

    Feeler: 4 Slightly Used Hankook Ventus V12 (7k miles on them)

    Like it says, I have 4 used Ventus V12 Evos I am thinking of selling to put some all seasons back on. My plans for the car changed and I might be selling it soon. I can't in good conscience sell the car with summer tires to someone in the winter. So how much do you think this set is worth, if...

    CEL :( Intake Manifold Flap Position Sensor...Help?

    So I got a CEL today while driving home from work in nearly 100 degree heat. First my radio (RCD-510) had a weird message that said something like "Unit too hot will shut down now" or something like that. I thought that was really weird, and then I noticed I had a CEL too. I doubt they are...

    Rear Brakes Worn Out at 20k!!! Brake Pad Recommendations?

    Hey Everyone, Just took my car to the 20k service and my rear brakes are almost totally worn out :( Any ideas how that is possible? I am going to buy the new pads myself and was looking for recommendations. Also, the fronts are fine but should I still change them now just to go to the same...

    Since the R is an FSI, will it be instantly moddable?

    Besides the ECU obviously. But otherwise would all the mkv stuff fit? Intakes, downpipes, big turbos, engine internals, etc?

    Guess what I saw at the dealer this morning?

    AFAIK, the ONLY Golf R in North America :) From what I could learn, this is the same car that was at the autoshows. Now that the shows are done the car will be driven locally for some time and tested, etc. Apparently, virtually no one gets to drive it :( I wanted a test drive so bad haha...

    Tinted Sidemarkers from Parts4Euro -Question!

    I just got and installed my tinted sidemarkers today. Love them! They came with bulbs though so I took out my old ones and put the new ones in. One of them was tough to fit in and now I have a bulb out light. The question is, can I just use the old bulb I had? Is there anything special about...

    BT vs k04?

    Hypothetical situation - lets say you have the opportunity to get a BT installed for only $400 more than a k04. Would you go BT or just stay with the k04? Here are the positives and negatives as I see them: k04 Pro: - OEM - Torqueir, more fun for daily driving (???) - 300 WHP is not too shabby...

    FS: 3 x OEM 18"Pirelli Pzero Nero Tires

    FS: 3 x OEM 18"Pirelli Pzero Nero Tires (Now with Pics!) The tires have been used for about 17k miles. I got a nail in one in the sidewall that can't be fixed. I decided to get summer tires instead so I want to sell the other 3. The guy at the tire shop measured at 6/32 tread left. I would...

    What would you do? (Need tires)

    So guys I just had a flat, and the nail was near the sidewall and couldn't be fixed :( I have the stock Pirelli Pzero Neros on, and about 17k miles on them. My options are either to 1) Replace just the one tire, even though the tread would be weird and the car might drive a bit funny. 2)...

    Question for APR - Acceleration Times

    So we've heard a lot about how they don't post acceleration numbers because its dependent on a lot of factors, difficult to repeat, etc. So you can imagine I was surprised when I saw this: http://www.goapr.com/products/ecu_upgrade_30tfsi_c6a6.html and what do you know, they have comparisons...

    Best time to sell a new car?

    Just wondering if there is a "sweet spot," so to speak, of selling a car you purchased new. Obviously you will lose money pretty much no matter what. But selling the car 2 months after buying is probably worse than selling it after 10 years and you have extracted more value from it obvious. I...
