Just an idea, the 95B 4-piston, all-aluminum Brembo caliper used on the base Macan and Audi Q5 are direct fit for the stock calipers of the Golf R and Audi S3. Many people have done the retrofit but there is no detailed write-up or video on it yet. Both calipers can be had for about $500 retail making it a cheap upgrade while shaving off half the weight (from 18.8lbs to 9.4lbs). Would make for an awesome video.

I watch quite a few other mechanic style channels, I find a lot is skipped over or not well explained with most channels. It goes from step a to step c and i am left wondering what happened between them. I feel like this is as close as it gets with having editing for time and what not to actually watching someone do it in person. Thx for sharing your in depth knowledge of the automotive industry with the rest of us!

OK, Charles. You asked- I'm gonna toss a lawn dart here. Rear hitch. The VW euro/ factory hidden hitch is so.....factory/ OEM/ awesome EXCEPT for the fact that it is just a ball hitch which= towing-which is epic in its own right-but my angle is rear-mounted bike racks. The current champion is the EcoHitch by Torklift Central. But- for me- it comes oh-so-close to perfect, but falls short because you always see the receiver below the fascia. I feel the ultimate, slickest, truly-hidden solution in the US is the Stealth Hitch. Only problem is that they have not yet found a person to blaze the trail for the community and be the prototype vehicle. They are based in Atlanta, so how about you do a video on how you spend a few days with those fine folks and help create the catalog product for the rest of us!?! Btw, their website states that your participation yields a free install and free hitch. And both versions- the trailer-centric version with all the wiring installed and the 2" receiver version for accessories!

I have a 2020 GLI Autobahn and my dealer here in Southern California were very specific with me on warranty as I kindly asked them questions about it. He told me straight up that if you do a tune and come in for warranty claims, the first thing they do is scan the ecu and look for flashes to make sure it’s factory. Then it’s automatically posted to Volkswagen and they know that your car is no longer covered for drive train warranty. The “Okay’s” are the exhaust (better to put on factory exhaust if you are concerned before going) wheels, and aesthetics really. If you bag it or do springs/coil overs whatever suspension mods, it will void the suspension warranties. He specifically said upgrading brakes and rotors are totally fine as the warranty rarely will ever cover them anyways lol

Fantastic info. As a person with an APR stage 2 2017 GTI Sport that I had lemon lawed, TD1 flag does not void your warranty. It can cause you to have certain items denied. This did happen to me, but like you said. Be polite and work with the dealership. I ended up contacting VWoA, received an advocate and she worked with the dealership to warrant a new ECU. That didn’t fix the issue and long story short ended up getting the 2017 GTI Sport replaced with a 2018 GTI SE.

I have Stage 1 APR tuning on my 2016 R, as I did on my 2012 model, and the GTI that preceded it. Worth every penny. The big difference is that my latest ECM chip was installed by the dealer, and had no effect on warranty. So I don’t need a “stock” setting to use when I take it to the dealer. It stays on all the time. My only regret is that I chose the DSG transmission (also upgraded). It’s butter-smooth on upshifts, but lags on downshifts, and is not quite as fun as the manual. Though the paddle shifters help.

Hi Charles. Thanks for this list. I got my 2019 Golf R in November and finally got a few of these done. Just got my car back from local shop Cantrell Motorsports. They installed the 25mm anti-sway bar and the skid plate. I "installed" the spare tire kit a month ago or so. Car is pretty much sitting in the garage while we shelter in place (still). I hope to run my car in at least one nearby recreational HPDE this summer, so I had Stoptech SS brake lines installed (along with Motul and Ferodo performance pads). Personally, I think SS-sheathed Teflon lines are essential for any car headed for a track day. I'm hopeful that I can get out this summer, but I'm wary of any kind of public gathering -- social distancing rules notwithstanding. I'm a 7/10ths track day guy, so unless the stock power is completely inadequate, I think I'll avoid a tune for now. Thanks again. Very handy videos and guidance.

Granted, this is on my Mk7 GLI(2019)... When I first got the car, I didnt have a VCDS but there were a few features I really wanted like the remote windows and disable that annoying auto start stop right away. I bought a cheap wifi/bluetooth OBD adapter off Amazon and subscribed to Carista for a week($10). I was able to enable the remote windows and disable the auto start stop with some simple option clicks. I know the remote windows probably isnt as much of interest to you but the auto start stop is. Also, I do not receive any errors with the auto start stop. It does however show the A circle with a slash through it at the top of my display when I come to a stop. Its the same icon that comes up as if you were running A/C, car warming up, etc. So I believe its an icon that will be there regardless. Anyway, just thought I would let you know as it may be a cheap way to figure out how it can be disabled without errors. Maybe scan the car before and after, then see what was changed in the coding. I havent personally yet as it accomplished what I wanted so I just leave it be. Maybe it will help if you arent able to figure it out or if you have the adapter already, an easy way to just get it done.

One change I made on my Alltrack was the rear 2 outer headrests couldn't stand the tall ones that come on NA cars, the European rear headrests are very similar to the center head rest (low profile) and make a huge difference when looking out the back. Now I have an unobstructed view. I don't have part# but if you like having better visibility get them...they were pricey around $360 for the pair. I know it's not performance related but IMO they were worth it. I want to do a stage one tune and DSG tune (can't stand the low shift points). I would also like to hear a little exhaust note but to get that without drone is a issue. APR "claims" no drone but local shop that sells and installs said don't and the drone is so bad he's had customers come back and have APR system removed and this is the" touring" exhaust not the "race". He suggested down pipe instead but that requires stage 2 which I don't want. Techtonics Tuning has a SS system but no reviews on it. Any suggestions? Edit: The very first mod I did was changing the factory springs and shocks to factory Golf "R" springs and shocks I could not stand the too soft floaty feel ride with the stock suspension the Golf "R" is perfect IMO fitment, ride quality, it"s noticeably more firm and sporty in a good way plus lowered it quite nicely, I don't do much if any off-roading so it's basically the same ride height as a "R" I also used the Audi TT rear spring rubber mount.

I have an F150 i put a front and rear hellwig swaybar with endlinks, it made a night and day difference in the handling of the truck. Im looking at getting a Golf R and thats one of the mods i recommend to anyone with any car

Please make a video discussing EGR system delete. EGR reduces air intake, puts exhaust soot into ur engine, reduces fuel economy, & reduces the lifespan of internal components.

I must add one: the RS3 brake air ducts, if you track the car. Makes a huge difference, very cheap and the Audi part fits right in!!

Love the video... I actually have a manual so my first mods were stage 1 tune with a short throw shifter. Included with the tint. Never thought of the sway bar. Makes me think more. Thanks for the good vid

@@HumbleMechanic looking forward to all the mods you do.. I sort of want to do the same as you do it.. So if you could lay out how much you spend each time that would be awesome.. Or at least retail price of it.. I'm sure you get discounts lol. The next mod I really want to do is exhaust., looking for a really deep throaty sound, if you could do a video on that that would be awesome too... . I wish your car was manual though... I'm not a huge fan of the dsg farts when cars are modded.... Too many autos out there and its hard to hear what the exhaust would sound like when shifting..

Great video and i just got a MK7.5R and have watched a lot of your vids on the car :) Just wondering if you considered a front LCA upgrade (to increase caster and camber) or camber tops as the car seems to come with more neg camber in the rear than the fronts which i assume is the standard "safe" setup. I will definitely be getting a stage 1 ecu/dsg tune and rear swaybar upgrade but also want to dial in the alignment to get more front end grip. Cheers :)

Guys, without a doubt, the H&R 25mm rear anti sway bar is the best mod. It completely transforms the car like you wouldn’t believe. It truly reveals the amazingness of that chassis.

I’d also recommend the racing line r600 cold air intake as it looks stock and has a great sound, as well as the silicone air intake tube and inlet elbow. Definitely notice the performance difference. Aluminium shifters. Definitely APR stage 1 ECU and DSG tunes.

Mentioned you would save money since the manual wouldn’t need a DSG tune however as soon as you add nearly anymore power the clutch needs replaced which is far more expensive than the tune.

Just performed an oil change on my other halves MK7.5 and guess what...the whole back of the sump is severely scuffed up, to a point that it had even broke off half the plastic drain plug cap! Good job I get one of these plugs in my ECS kit. Don't know whether she drives a rally-cross circuit on the way to the shops or what, but I just ordered the All-track belly pan kit.

I have a (Canadian) '18 R and OBDEleven and I used this method for disabling start/stop, and it works perfectly: Disable Start/Stop Select Control unit 19 Adaptation Start Stop Limit voltage Value=12 You still see the disabled start/stop symbol in the upper instrument cluster when you come to a stop, but there are no other warnings at all.
