    Stage 2 Golf R DSG - £14,500 - Essex Unfortunately due to change in personnel circumstances I am forced to sell my Golf R. More than happy to tell you the reason privately but would prefer it to not be on a public post. I purchased this Golf R from Northloop at the end of October and having owned a MK7 Golf R before this one, I wanted one that was modified “properly” with no cut corners. Then this one came up exactly to my taste so I quickly snapped it up. FSH DSG 4 previous owners 76,700 miles (will rise slightly) MOT until June The Modifications are as follows; Stage 2 APR ECU and TCU R600 Airbox Turbo technics hose Wagner competition intercooler Clubsport front discs Scorpion sports cat Eibach pro lowering springs Wheel spacers Pedal box Car was tuned by VRS making 404 bhp with printout. The car is in fantastic condition with only 2 small marks on the gloss black trims on the passenger side doors. Interior is in fantastic condition too with only very very minor wear on the drivers bolster. Car has a pretty basic spec other than the optional heated leather seats and Pretoria wheels. Folder full of paperwork with receipts for pretty much all the modifications too. Fully stamped service book including the Haldex and DSG being done multiple times. When I purchased the car from Northloop, I opted for the car to be ceramic coated and I also purchased a 12 month warranty which covers modified cars (I was told on the phone this is transferable. Just waiting to get that in writing and find out what the steps are to transfer it) Really is a credit to its previous owners and I will be very sad to see it go but unfortunately needs must. I have just used a few photos from when I purchased the car for now, as with the current weather it is rather difficult to give the car a wash. Registration is ET14 JZR Any questions please feel free to ask. I know this is the worst time of the year to sell a car but ideally I need it gone this month, so make me an offer?

  2. On my new (to me) 7R, the previous owner has changed a few things that are not to my taste. Is there anyway to see what has been changed? In regards to what I know has been changed, if the previous owner used long coding to make the changes, can I just use the one click apps to revert it? Or will I need to use long coding too?
  3. Hello, Vag Coding Leicester or VW Retrofit in Redditch will be your best (localish) options
  4. I discovered brake buster about 2 years ago and it has been my go to ever since. Like you said, put it in a foam sprayer and its even better
  5. I never had one at stage 2 and was absolutely fine. The problem I had was finding someone who would map the car without a intercooler, went through about 5 tuners before I found a company that would do it
  6. I have just got myself the MJJC Pro V2 and I am very disappointed with it so far. Unless I'm doing something wrong or it's faulty? It's just not very good 😂 It pretty much just sprays out soapy water, no foam at all. I've changed the orifice, used different pressures and tried a 50/50 mix in the bottle and nothing helps. I don't necessarily want "shaving cream" like foam but my previous 2 lances would make it, if I wanted them too. Also everything is so stiff on it, this could just be because it's new but all the adjustments are so stiff, I need to put the bottle down and use 2 hands. Anyone have any experience with this?
  7. I have a rattling noise coming from my exhaust back box. It’s the standard exhaust and I initially thought it would be the valves rattling but I’m now 95% sure it’s not. I tried valves closed/open and it’s still there, it doesn’t look like the valves are rattling either. If you get underneath the car, it sounds like something is inside the back box, it only does it on idle too. Any ideas what it could be?
  8. She thinks we could manage with a 3dr but like me she's concerned with the safety side of things. We've been looking at the Joie i-Spin 360, which will hopefully make things slightly easier and then just leave that permanently in the R. Obviously we will have a separate carrycot and push chair in the boot, but that's the next problem... The boot size 🤣
  9. I'm sure it would be "manageable" but obviously much easier with a 5dr. My main concern is safety. If I need to get the little one out in a hurry, having a 5dr could make all the difference
  10. Thanks everyone. I knew really that the safest and most practical thing to do would be to get a 5dr, I guess I was hoping someone would tell me it will be fine in a 3dr 🤣. Safety is the most important thing and like others have said, god forbid I have an accident with the little one in the back but in a 3dr, it would be a nightmare. I guess I will now be on the look out for a 5dr R 😁
  11. I've got a little one on the way and I'm caught in two minds over making do with the 3dr R or sell it and buy a 5dr R? For the first 12 months this will be our only car but after that my partner is going to buy a SUV of some description, so after those 12 months the R will probably not be used for transporting the little one. Any Mum's or Dad's on here use their 3dr R with a baby or any other 3dr car for that matter? Is it viable? Or am I better of looking at getting a 5dr? Only thing is, my R is very high spec and I very much doubt I will be able to find one similar especially within my budget. Any advice or tips will be greatly appreciated.
  12. Fairly big job yeah, cost really depends on where you take it/labour rates etc... I'm assuming you have upgraded the clutch being stage 2? If not now would be a good time to upgrade
  13. Could be the clutch release bearing
  14. Well after some serious consideration and taking onboard all the suggestions, I have decided I'm going to keep the Golf 🤣
  15. They really seem a lot of car for the money and I have heard great thing's about the TTS but there's just something about the looks of them that I don't like. Otherwise a TTS would certainly be at the top of my list
