Re: Montly payment?

Repeat after me: PCH = Personal Contract Hire. You lease the car from a company that owns and is the registered keeper, you never own it and have no option to purchase. At the end of the term the car goes back to the finance company. PC, = Personal Contract Purchase. You buy the car on finance and a...

Re: R Exhaust tips, where to buy?

The factory tips are brazed onto the pipe so not available as a separate part.

You'll need something like autosol to cut through the carbon deposits. Megs is brilliant at getting a nice shine once the main deposits have been sorted.

Re: Reversing Camera

It's a legacy issue, head units without integrated DAB use the aux connectors for the DAB unit to provide data to the head unit so you couldn't have DAB and reversing camera. Head units with integrated DAB can have a reversing camera attached as the aux connectors are free. VW sorted the basic issue...

Re: 4wd

You shouldn't need to change the engine or box with a AWD conversion. I may be dumb here but how can I use the gearbox I have? I have a ex army landrover and can see there are different outputs and couldn't see where a prop to rear diff would attach. Your landy is fixed permanent AWD designed to be...

Re: "Climate" Front Windscreen / Heated Front Windscreen

Not available on rocco it is something for new platform cars. The climate screen is something that's available on most VAG vehicles that based on the new MQB (golf mk7) platform.

Re: 4wd

You shouldn't need to change the engine or box with a AWD conversion. However I can't recall the rocco floor and transmission tunnel having been sized for a rear drive shaft so you would have to fabricate a new floor which would be a down the shell interior out job plus lots of welding probably not ...

Re: Fuel delivery upgrades

The typical failure mode is the seal going allowing fuel to mix with oil, this reduces the lubricating properties of the oil and generally results accelerated wear of the cam follower. The slightly concerning element is unless you inspect the components regularly this failure is silent. TBH the real...

Re: Fuel delivery upgrades

Autotech start as a bag of bits, you can read how to make one here, Loba and APR come prebuilt. The question comes down the skill of the builder and what is used as a base pump new OEM or used.

Re: TSI or TFSI

I get it, a Golf is quicker and cheaper to tune and I can see why some owners who look at the figures would want to go buy one. I still say a Golf looks no where near as good and I hope the majority of members on here agree. I will enjoy my extremely good looking Rocco and concentrate on what count...

Re: TSI or TFSI

Point to point or straight line the new Golf R is a faster car. The tuning scene haven't really scratched the surface of what a EA888 Golf R engine is capable of yet so taking a long term view these will ultimately develop more power with less mods. Software only stage 1 a Golf R only gets you to Ro...

Re: Golf R Ordered

Depending on if the buyer is trader or a proper private buyer then between 7k and 10k, fundamentally you're selling a 6 year old car. The old mk5 style interior and dash will be an issue for private buyers when for a little more they can get the more modern interior.

Before I order I would check forum for retrofit prices (difficulty) the go from there. I.e. Nav retrofit loads cheaper than dealership option, however xenons and power fold mirrors more pricey/difficult...

Re: Golf R Ordered

Check with your local dealer personal PCH's via VW finance are now available for quite frankly silly money on 24 mo terms. The prices out there currently mean most would be completely mad to buy with cash or on PCP.... However any options you add will likely be divided directly over the term so buyi...

Re: Location of DSG gear box 'number'

You'll need ramps, a car lift or a pit to find the part number. However VCDS/VagCom can report the part number and software build. Do you have an invoice from a franchised VW retailer stating they've replaced the box complete with part numbers etc? The dealer would be in world of pain from VW if the...

GT is a creation by VWUK in terms of standard build options. The base build would be a SPORT with all the additional bits option coded on top.
