Hi all! I have a stage 3 7.5 Golf R (2018) and was considering a meth kit for cooling purposes. Especially in the last few weeks with higher IAT i felt like the car needed such a kit. There isn't much info on this but there was a few questions which came to mind for our cars. 1. Which methanol kit is recommended? AEM, Snow Performance, Devils Own etc 2. Where to inject methanol? Directly to the intake manifold or downstream before the throttle body. 3. Is there an upgraded manifold on the market with meth ports? 4. Any disadvantages of running meth on our cars? Thanks!

Thanks, i think i'll order in a Rev D DV 👍

Hi all, Has anyone had experienced fitment issues with the T9359 GFB diverter valve and and an aftermarket intake hose? Currently running a Forge intake hose and attempted to fit the GFB DV+ but it seems the PCV hose is too short to be routed around the relocated factory DV and doesn't reach the port on intake hose. Image attached shows the hose in question (forgot to take an image with the DV+ fitted 😅). Anyone got any suggestions? Currently got the factory rev C diverter valve which i suspect has failed (nearly no boost, 2.5k onwards). From reading online options are to get another rev C, a rev D or a DV+. Thanks.

I'm hoping to fit the Do88 FMIC with pressure pipes to my Golf R soon. Spoke to a chap called Paul at PFS Part Ltd a month ago. Unfortunately still no date on when the hard pipe kit would be available for the 7 speed DSG box. The results do look promising and hopefully do88 HQ haven't given up on finding a solution for the Mk7.5. As mentioned above apparently the FMIC on its own fits great, but i wonder how much performace is to be gained from also having the larger diameter hard pipes.

Hi all, this is the steering wheel on my vehicle so far. Fitted a reshaped wheel with the LEDs (adds 10BHP 🤣) and finished in carbon / leather. Looking to install a leather airbag soon with the matching white stitching. Initally had doubts about the safety of the airbag cover but after thorough inspection i am satisfied they will deploy correctly should they need to do so. Also looking to respray the R8 style buttons in gloss black to match the rest of the steering wheel trim.

I think about every R owner has this issue. My one curled up, bought a new one and that also curled up in the exact same way. This was in the space of less than 2 years. I believe its the heat from the turbo which causes it to shrink.

No wires to be cut. I like to have a clean and reversible installation so to install the module i repinned some wires instead of splicing or cutting them. Factory wires would be repinned into the module connectors and the module wires into the factory connector. On the wheel itself, it used to be soldering wires to the existing multifuction buttons to provide a power source and ground but now its plug and play.

Just seen this message. I actually have my wheel set up oem style with just the buttons at the moment. I now provide a service for these modifications. To get the set up you are asking for, a module is connected to the existing start/stop and drive select button which communicates wirelessly to the buttons on the steering wheel.

@Badger Congratulations on your new car! Personally i am bias towards indium grey 😅. I have oem 19 inch pretoria and forge spacers F11mm & R16mm (i believe?) on mines. The car is currently on stock springs. Hopefully these pics serve as inspiration to you and give you an idea of how much the spacers push out the wheels 👍. The spacer also gives the illusion of the car being lowered due to being closer to the wheel arch.

One comment i have got a few times was, is there even a spoiler on there? 😅 The genuine oettinger spoiler is a lot less prominent and lower than the aftermarket Variant. It intergrates quite well into the R styling and looks very OEM.

I notices this aswell, but they seemed to quieten over time. I think the phone microphone was overly sensitive as in real life they are now as loud as the normal steering wheel button.

Yes, you can get the buttons separately and attach them to your existing wheel 👍.

I purchased the steering wheel from OHC Motors. The buttons were sourced separately and grafted onto my existing steering wheel trim.

I installed the spoiler yesterday, and currently giving the adhesive 24hrs to completely cure. Here are some pics from yesterdays installation. i will upload more tonight 👍. I have also attached an image of another Indium grey Golf R with an oettinger spoiler.

In the last two weeks, changed the steering wheel, did a res delete and got an oettinger spoiler ready for installation 😁.
