6R GTI VWR Springs + ARB

Hello Everyone, I'm looking to improving the handling and look of the car as I can't stand the 4x4 look especially at the rear. So initially I thought just an VWR ARB but if I'm going to be fitting that then some springs wouldn't be a bad idea although I do need to be able to get along a track witho...

Re: 6R GTI Milltek Exhaust

Thanks for the reply guys!

If I go down the route of milltek I'll go for the resonated.

As Wullie asked, Josher where did you get your exhaust made?

6R GTI Milltek Exhaust

Hello Everyone I'm sure this has been talked about a few times and if so then please point in the right direction! I'm looking at getting a Milltek Exhaust for my 6R GTI but no idea whether to go for the resonated or non resonated. I'm obviously looking to go louder than stock but not stupidly loud....

Re: Are You Using Oil?

Another update.

Re: Are You Using Oil?

Quick update. Having completed the oil test, I used 0.85 litres in 660 miles so they are going to carry out the standard changes, oil breather pipe, oil pump, injectors etc and go from there. The dealership (not vw) I purchased the car from are going to speak to VW UK to push for a new engine to be ...

Re: 6R GTI 1.4 Oil Usage Poll

I'm taking my 2012 GTi (CAVE) with 23,000 miles on the clock back into VW for the second part of the oil test. Oil light came on again yesterday having done 700 miles. Will be interesting to see how the garage deals with this and whether they will just replace parts or engine

Re: Are You Using Oil?

Hello Everyone I am reasonably new here so hello.. Picked up my 2012 GTi about 5 weeks ago with just over 20,000 miles on it. I have since done 1,300 miles and gone through 1.5 litres of oil having almost run it dry before the oil light came on. And assuming by the 68 pages this would come under hig...

6R GTI Spark Plugs Condition

Hello everyone! I am new to the forum so hello! The car has only done 21,000 miles and I've owned the car for about a month now and really enjoying it. I've read a lot on the 6R GTI's having issues with spark plugs, coil packs etc. Today I changed the spark plugs to the NGK BKR7EIX that are recommen...

Re: 6R GTi Plug and Play Sound System

Thanks very much for the info!

I have since found a plug and play system for £215 delivered so I'm thinking i might just go for that and fit it myself as it would appear pretty simple. How much did it cost to get the PP52DSP and match subwoofer and where from?

Cheers
