I have owned since December 2022
I have carried out all the mods to this car as i purchased it standard.
I maintain is religiously and it gets oil changes even when not needed as its hardly used.
Its been launched 3 times in my ownership.
In the last 2500 miles its had its 3rd haldex oil change and 2nd DSG oil change (since me owning it)
I have took it to the nurburgring in 2025 where it performed amazingly with no problems on a smaller turbo setup.
I have also taken it to nurburgring this year which highlighted 2 issues that have now been resolved; revised the actuator to the latest OEM revision item NOT a cheap copy (£360) and a boost pipe split which has now been replaced with a stronger samco item.
Powerwise its running 2.1 bar on the high boost map which on a TTV5 is around 520 bhp.
Everything works as it should.
General maintenance:
New rear trailing arms
New OEM Haldex pump
New Bushes all round
New front left wheel bearing (didn't need doing i just replaced it as my brake clearance is tight)
Both ball joints
New Revised water pump (done before i purchased vehicle)
New revised actuator (the one which doesn't fail)
New OEM lambda 1
This is not your usual ragged out pops and bangs abused Golf R that's run low on dirty oil and launched every 5 minutes, this is a fast road car that can be used as a daily then driven into Europe to race around the ring.
It soaks up all the imperfections in the road with the suspension set to normal, one click of a button and the car is stiff ready to go around a track.
Negatives:
cosmetic defects are all that's wrong with the car, stone chips, various age related marks, nothing major but its not 10/10.
SHE IS NOT A SHOW QUEEN!
Front wheel arch liners rubbed through when it use to be lowered
The lipo4 battery is a odd shape so doesn't use the oem clamp (you can take the original AGM battery which clamps like stock)
Before i let it go:
The car will come with 2 new front conti 7 tyres
Almost new front MTEC Brake discs
Almost new EBC yellow stuff brake pads
The car needs NOTHING, put petrol in and drive it.
plate not included.
Number plate is SN65GMW
No finance owed
Not categorized
I will put a fresh MOT on it - due October
Everyone who drives my car or passengers in it comments on how good the handling/brakes/power is, it truly is a well balanced car that does it all.
