So missus had a little skid in the R. She’s ok but the car not so much. It all looks minor apart from the wheel which seems cosmetic but ? not repairable in a diamond cut wheel. Anyone got an opinion. Was gonna see if Lepsons thought it was repairable. Also anyone got a front numberplate surround going cheap? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

With 1400 Miles on it I get 27 in race and 31 in eco on my morning commute. Never seen anything like 47! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mine will stop and then restart when car in front drives away. If ACC on it’ll then usually set off itself but sometimes needs a tiny touch on the accelerator to set it off Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My exhaust flaps open if DSG in S. Engine setting is just soundaktor. Confirmed just now by revving and altering settings Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Standard across VW and Audi whenever turning car off. Don’t really know what it means but can’t say I’ve ever cared to check Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

MK 7 R OPERATING TIPS/TRICKS

Mines colour and I’m non-DCC Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
All VAG group dealers, even the premium ones like Audi, charge diagnosis fees. IIRC Audi charge ~ £65 for a diagnosis. As Gavras says its probably because people are getting a diagnosis then going with the details to an independent

Mines just hit 600 and exhaust is definitely louder than it was. More popping on the overrun and DSG fart noises, especially in S Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just ordered my R Estate - one question

Doesn’t show on tracker but live chat can tell you your exact spec Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Mine lives on all year round in all my cars. Can’t say I have ever been able to tell a difference in performance or fuel consumption. It does make me laugh when a manufacturer produces a special limited edition model for £20k more that saves 15kg and then the rich fat bloke buys it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not sure of mechanism behind it but you only get a warning and cannot display absolute pressures. So probably the second one Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mine was in transit for about a month in total (see sig) but it was a bad time of year Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you're cheap/whilst waiting for your case you could use a microwave because they have a Faraday cage built into them.

Latest Map Update (2018) for MiB2 (Non pro)
Maynard_Said replied to Microbe's topic in VW Golf R MK7 Chat
So re-downloaded and this time no errors on unzipping. Do I just copy across the maps folder or do I also need to copy across the .md5 file? -
Latest Map Update (2018) for MiB2 (Non pro)

Downloaded that file and extracted it. Got a long list of errors from winrar although the folders look good - is that normal? -
I like it for my commute where it’s constant start stop traffic or sprint and coast motorway traffic. Improved my mpg from 24 to 28 without affecting my driving experience. Every little bit of super saved is worth it for when I stick it in race Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

3 days old and already filthy. Working this weekend so looking for a volunteer to clean it for me.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What doesn’t? Data or Tasker. Can’t use tasker because I have an iPhone and it’s only on android Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeh tried that. Even tried driving a distance from house in case being near WiFi was a problem. Frustrating. I’ll try Phils order and see if it works. With sat nav I’m new 7.5 with the standard non-pro media. Do you have a link to new maps? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

cheers rob. yeh so works when connected to house wifi (no stately home but must have lead paint because signal is pretty naff). The dongle might be the way to go but i don't know how much i'll use the services yet. I just refuse to have something not work in a new car! In other news I used discovercare to update the maps and instead of updating them its corrupted them so no sat nav at the minute. suspect i'll have to format the card and either retry, reinstall the backup, or download the maps elsewhere to put on

So loving my new R, however I can't seem to get anything that requires data to work. I can WLAN connect to my iphones hotspot but despite a valid connection carnet just says no data connection. Anyone know of a quick fix or got any suggestions?

I find it ok. But a quick google shows identical to the X1 I’ve just given up so guess that’s why Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If it’s anything like my ex’s mini it’ll keep running until you turn it off then it won’t start. Presumably if you steal it for a job you just don’t turn it off Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
