Hello VW community,
I am the proud new owner of a 2019 VW Golf R, 6 Speed Manual in Atlanta, Georgia. Having been an Audi customer the past 18years (S3, RS3), I needed something new and an R with a manual gearbox seemed like the right choice for a fun daily and a car that would have an ocean of aftermarket options.
After having spent a ridiculous amount of time researching I am in need of help as I can not find the information I need.
1) VW North America clearly states that my car has 288hp. Not on a single site (Milltek, AWE, APR etc) have I seen this model mentioned. The car has been out for almost 2 years - what am I missing? https://www.vw.com/models/golf-r/section/overview/ I am seeing 300hp and 310hp everywhere which are the Euro models. This has made it very difficult in finding options to enhance my Golf
2) I can not find any info whether this car has OPF/GPF or not. Does anyone know whether the US cars have been exempt from that non sense?
3) My research shows that exhaust upgrades do not mess with warranty. Can someone confirm this?
4) is this an international site? I mostly see Brits so wanted to confirm :)
Thanks for your help. I have attached a pic! She is in dire need of an exhaust and exterior carbon options
