Hi all, I fitted a Miltek exhaust to my Mk7 R last year. I have a MK6 GTi too and am bored of the exhaust note on motorways and under load. It drones so loud it's really starting to annoy. Outside the fact the twin tips won't clear the rear GTi diffuser, will a 7 R exhaust bolt up? And would the pipe sizes match or is the R bigger? Anyone done this? Cheers, Rob

Needed a full intake manifold replacement. Fitted £720 but all sorted. They just cleaned the 4 and 2 sparks as the coil pack was fine. Been driving it for a few days since and it's bang on. Don't mind spending as long as it fixes it and I trust these guys.

Thanks mate. It's booked in at my local specialist. They should be able to put it straight.

Yeah very true.

Hi all, my MK6 GTI has this error and check engine light on the dash. It's also reporting misfires on 4 and 2. I will post the full error log after this. Car idles very unsteady, constant hiss from the right of the engine when facing it from the front of the car (battery side). Reading online it seems likely to be the intake manifold flap/motor at fault. Anyone with experience of this agree or suggest otherwise? Also I noticed what looks like a hose missing. See the two circled hose connectors in the pic are just open to the air and nothing connected to them. Is that right? No change in engine idle when I blocked them with my fingers and no blow/suction from either.

Sorry for such slow reply. I was watching a video of the humble mechanic on youtube and used the 034 end links but a different bar. Their kit looks like very high quality so I looed them up and found their bar which matches their end links. Very nice bit of kit.

Hi all, upgraded my swaybar today with an 034 and their ally end pieces. My god what a difference. The car feels amazing in corners and roundabouts now and if you really give it some you get some great tail action. Really does feel superb. I kept watching vids about it and everyone rated it but till you try it you can't believe the result. Highly recommend. Also fitted my Milltek SSXVW258 resonated cat back. I like it's quite subtle. Sounds great under load in sport, DSG pops sound a bit more aggressive and Eco/Normal it's perfectly sensible. I got the black tips which are just that bit bigger than stock so so blend right in. Overall a nice addition. My one gripe, all they need to do is put a single liner on a piece of paper that says put your valves in sport mode before removing. That's it just that one line. Otherwise the new springs for the valves will not line up with the slots. Took me hours of fiddling till I figured that out. Had a little run up against a new A35 AMG while out testing it all. Not sure what the spec on those are but I absolutely had more power than him but a single lane I couldn't over take him on. All good fun though.

I've got a haldex service kit here. I'm going to do this at the weekend and make sure the filter is clean/cleaned.

Yes full press and hold. Not tried it with a single press.

Yeah sorry I did get that too.

Typical! Thank you

Also I have this fault code which has been there for some time. Not sure if it's related: 2 Faults Found: 21177 - Clutch 1 P177B 00 [011] - Tolerance Limit Reached Confirmed - Tested Since Memory Clear Others on here said to ignore the code as I wasn't seeing any issues but could this be related?

Hi all, I've had a Racingline stage 1 tune on my 2016 R. I've since fitted the RL 600 air filter kit and replaced the turbo inlet with a full bore unit. Since the filter and turbo inlet replacement the car is drastically different in power delivery. What I've noticed though is the ESP light flickering sometimes when I mash the pedal, it's just a blip and gets into AWD to correct it quick enough but just wondered if other modded drivers experience this? The other more concerning issue is a few times using launch control, I release the brake and the car begins to move hard and then everything bogs down like it's hit the rev limit (it hasn't) there's a few seconds of it completely losing power then it re-engages and we're off. It's done this maybe 3 or 4 times and does it rain or dry. I was watching a volkswizard vid on youtube about the haldex filter getting clogged and causing issues with the AWD engaging. Would this cause symptoms like this or is the ESP light normal given it's tuned and producing more power than stock? Would this affect the launch control? Haldex service in the book says it was done at about 10500 miles. Car has done 20000. I had the DSG oil replaced about 2 months ago as VW advised 40k or 4 years so I went with caution and got it done since it's over 4 years old. Any advice welcome. Cheers Rob

Answered my own question on the brake warning light. Cut the sensor wires, wound them together more and re-wrapped in heat shrink. Long brake bedding in drive and not a blip on the warning light.
