FARK! thats damn amazing...210 on wheel for stock mk6....then its worth the money over a used Mk5

Found out the hard way...

Went to track and was expecting to pull away from them but find it a bit hard to do it.... so we organise the dyno for the club and 2 of the MK6 turns out with this result.

One map... 250 on wheel.... at 15% power train lost, that's close to 300 bhp on engine.

15% for manual FF is decent but DSG is after all, auto.... so it should be more than 15% ya'll.

No fuel pump issue... no cam follower bollocks, no timing belt bollocks.... I would say the MK6 is a good daily drive car with reasonable priced maintenance...

I also prefer Friday k3v....see our last convoy to Putrajaya after TT, a lot of them say that it is late, tomolo gotta work, this n that. If it is Friday then most of them sud not have this excuse (minus some minority tat work on sat la)...

Btw welcome to LYN forum....there has been a lot of questions and difficulties in joining VGCM forum, and it is all been answered now smile.gif

Try Hawk Pads... I think JWRX used to bring them in... ask him.

HP plus not bad... but noisy.... I prefer the ceramic ones but those also noisy when warm. Ceramics you gotta becareful, cause the bite wouldn't come in until its warmed up.....

I tracked twice with the ceramic pads... OK la...

Else, go for the Golf R BBK..... or porsches like mine! LOL

Recommended 5w-40.

why 30? Using Castrol 40, you may have to top up your engine oil already at 5000km. Check your oils every 5000 km if you drive it hard.

Keep 1 litre spare in the trunk.

And in case you are wondering.... W is not weight. W is weather. .. 30,40,50 is viscosity... I got hook-winked in buying 0w-40 sports edge once because someone told me its W is weight and the lighter engine oil gives you better power.... blah blah blah... felt stupid when I got home and my little engineer bro laugh kok at me.

Are you sure its the suspension or your rubber lining at the door when you cross the bump and your car flex (natural)....

If it is what I think it is.....this is already a highlighted problem in VGCM forum... where the flexing of the car creates a rubber movement sound which is inside the car....

Here's the thread in VGCM:

Here's the fix

Here's the Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) - in case u think I BS you la smile.gif

No need la bro.... Read the VGCM threads, members there tried using tape la and some rubber softening solution.... its called the Gummi Pflege Stift - I know cause I bought two for my own use! haha.

Next TT, i let you tumpang a bit la... members say it works...???! I never try set... always say wanna put it on but end up going sunway install this and that... come home sleep! LOL

If you don't drive hard, you will be fine.... if you drive hard i.e. all the way to 7k rpm.... not doing high way runs at 200km/h.... you should be able to last 15k but still i thik should change every 7.5k..... if you anal like me... every 5k.

I think i bought castrol edge 1 ltr for RM 50.... try those spare part supplier shop.... or you can buy the 4 litre, pour into a 1 litre bottle.... if you need one empty 1 litre bottle, let me know cause i have some torco oil bottle somewhere... tongue.gif

Thanks for the info as well k3v! Is it easy to get this Gummi thing? I googled it and it returned a lot of overseas sites. Planning to join u all this Wednesday TT to learn more from the sifus as well biggrin.gif Can pinjam some of the gummi to try it out?

Also the link you gave earlier was really handy! According to the TSB, there are actually pads that VW need to also put into the pillars to prevent the wind noise. Anyone you know actually manage to get VW to add in those additional pads to reduce the wind noise?
