550hp? The Gearbox DISLIKED THAT. VW Golf R // Nürburgring 

Love how the number plates helping block the non essential cooling

Misha is the definition of having a "Dream job" Congrats!

As a VW owner, I have to say that that is one of the most VW things I've ever seen. Having to turn the car off and then on again hahaha. Awesome lap though!

sometimes you just can't beat being alone in your car with only yourself to talk too.

That front windshield tint is a teenage stuff :D Why would you downgrade your visibility.. mental :D

That also happened to me during a trackday. That's because the oil temperature on the DSG was too high. Improving the oil cooler for the DSG is one of the proper solutions. Also consider this gearboxes are extremely delicate regarding the oil itself, so a bad choice of quality + viscosity is dangerous AF. Great video as always Misha!.

I would shit myself when the gearbox suddenly decides to do Neutral like it does on 7:27 This dude reacts like an IT-guy - "Have you tried to turn it off and on again?" :D

Fuel gauge going down like the rev counter 😂

That Mk2 at the end in the roundabout … yes. So good. Great lap!

It wouldn’t be a modified VW event without some suspension rub and an engine reset mid-track… 😆 Misha - please find more owner-built VW/Audi cars for your channel! It’s nice to see combinations that many of can afford and aspire to, and how they perform on this torturous track. Example: I would not have guessed a $2600 KW Coilover kit would be this stressed/overwhelmed on track. Love your content and your approach to track work. 🍻 ❤️ ✌️

129 degrees is a lot for only 14 outside, what will it do in the summer at 30 + ??? Nice looking car, Nice lap Misha !

Happy to hear the feedback on the KW V3, I just pulled the trigger on the KW Clubsports for my S3. KW themselves tell you to get the Clubsports if you're doing any sort of tracking

Moin Tao, ich bin, ebenfalls wie du, insane gehyped für die aktuelle Saison. Letztes Jahr war schon wild auf deinem Kanal mitzuverfolgen und nun geht‘s direkt so los - Hammer! Mein Lieblingsskigebiet ist tatsächlich der Skicircus in Saalbach. Die Infrastruktur dort ist wirklich traumhaft und die Schneelagen oft unglaublich, worduch die Powder Days für mich dort immer ein Traum gewesen sind. Im Februar hab ich mir nur leider mein Knie zerfetzt, aber die Ärzte und Physio haben gute Arbeit geleistet, diese Saison geht‘s wieder steil! Schöne Adventszeit!

Love your vids, hope you are having a good December. If it’s ever a VW, I’ll be watching!!!

Thanks for letting the Oil temperature on screen even after lap. Im always curious how fast is oil cooling down after lap.

License Plate in front of the Cooling. Smart

I think the plate in the front are cozing the heat coz of the radiators are there!! the front plate blocking the wind that goes to the front radiators

Typical Volkswagen, you don't know why it gives an error, but when you turn the car off and on, that error goes away.

Loved the commentary, Misha

swaping to a dq500 would be a good idea considering the level of power he is handling, have seen a couple of golf Rs awapping it for an audi q3, rsq3, ttrs dq500 gearbox and no problem at all, it can handle a lot of power stock ( simple remap can handle 600+ hp)

With 129°C oil temperature in relatively cool surroundings requires additional intercooler for enigne and transmission....

Turkish style steering wheel,I saw that only in trucks from Turkey.😊

Seeing temps is always a pleasure

Great job Keep it up

That Golf R looked like it had all the claimed HP... it was quick... and fast. This is also a good advertisement of why you need an oil cooler. The temps down to well below 120 in the slow short drive back to HQ. An oil cooler is an engine life extender... or engine saver.

Misha, maybe you have some footage from test driving second generation Megane MK2 RS. Really would like to see the opinion on that platform and how those cars handles, with or without track orientated uprated modifications.

2024 I’m going to make getting there my mission ❤️ watched for years now..

2:23 Frontwindow Coating is strictly forbidden in Germany, thx! And btw dear Micha, when you leave the roundabout you please youse the indicator OUT ( right side ) thx

really nice performance!

looked pretty smooth & fast to me.

nice lap!

Great driving. I must say though - give the indicator when you're leaving the roundabout...especially when someone else is waiting to get in :)

MAX POWER meets Misha. It just needs a massive rear spoiler to complete the look.

I don't know if this comment will be seen or listened to, but I think it would be really great if the owners of the cars, if they're knowledgeable of what's been done to their car, on what specifically is done. Like if they were to go more in detail of their suspension setups (brands, height, stiffness, camber, caster, etc), as well as any engine mods for power/response (again stating brand, pressures, custom things if needed, etc), & of course aesthesis, for either light weight or functional aero mods use. An in detail in the first bit of the video I think would be sick/great info for many with the same car or looking for something to build & trying to price/sort things out. Just my thought, personally if it were me, I would do that, I think many would like it, & if they don't, there's always a fast forward button for a reason. Thank you :)

needs an oil cooler for the engine, or another one if it already has one

I didn't think the car had 550hp, however it seemed to be a lot of fun to drive! congratulations on the project. go straight on!

The Nurburgring is the best circuit .it’s the best way of real driver’s .can you one day test the Nurburgring on grand turismo 7

Love the vw content

Good balance for this R

Amazing vehicle!

watching the fuel gauge drop at WOT is so satisfying

Loved Golf...ALL generations ❤

This car lives very near me. I've seen it driving around. QSTuning is also just down the road about 5 minutes from me.

Misha please can you get high powered pd diesel ibiza/polo/fabia to test! i have a build thats nearly finished and i would love to see you steadily pace it round burg. 😁how does my car apply haha

I was surprised the car didn't scrape big time on the Carousel.

130 oil temp is perfectly fine. Especially if youre running a good ester based oil. Id be more worried about the trans oil temp.

You were lucky that gearbox had 'anti money-shift' cut-out protection. 👍😜🇦🇺

Sweet. Looks like a neutral setup. Last Golf R understeered more, I believe. Might just be the tires though, Cup 2 vs. PS4S. Also always like to see the KW V3 in action, since I am currently thinking about that for mine. It would need to offer a good mix between handling and compliance, which it seems to be able to do - depending on the setting of course, since it's fully adjustable.

"Reverse not available" starting having that on my previous car, VW Arteon with a DSG DQ500. Had to replace the mechatronic. Until I fixed it it would start randomly jumping gears and often refuse to shift up, very unpleasant when it was winter and very slippery.

Still faster than that 1000hp GTR:))

Yes u did drive a blue golf r and u posted it

We had such tuned cars that did a lot worse on this channel. Given how fast the oil temperature goes up and the original drivetrain is put under extra stress, I guess it wouldn't exactly do the 24 hours but other than that, nice lap. Why did the gearbox cut out, actually?

14:18 "Someone's getting educated there" ROFLMAO that's 100% a European thing to say and I felt that on a spiritual level 😂😂😂

Good video

You can just about see the fuel gauge needle going down on full throttle 😂😂

This car flies.

What's with the Speedo? Is it normal to have a change of scale at some point around the graduations? Never noticed this before, totally possible with an electronic guage of course, but it's a bit naff don't you think?

Last time I was in a Golf R with a claimed 500 HP, it put a conrod through the block.

Can someone please explain me why gearbox just went Neutral all of a sudden? I have similar problem with my car, was at so many mechanic shops and no one can fix it...

If only someone would give you a car with 0 issues to run on track from a reputable tuner👀 I get zero faults or issues with ecotune on track

ITguy quote: did you try to turning it off and on again Yes it work after the restart 😂

What do You think about bilstein b8 suspension for MQB platform?

First mods for forced induction is cooling… isn’t the car overheating at that temperature?

I wonder if they are still rockin stock clutch packs.

Good car and nice driver 👍👍👍👍🇬🇷🇬🇷

Where do I get the rs6/7 rear brake caliper adapter for the MQB?

Does anyone know what turbo he is running? I’m running the G25-660 on my Golf R and was just curious.

I know it has 550HP and Misha is really pushing it... but holy shit look at that fuel level gauge

Another day another video happy

Why does it have 18 number plates😂only joking, not my style at all but I can appreciate the time that has gone into it!

thats alot of power for this

all 3 of my cars say change the key battery :D

Wow, 130 degrees is a lot for only 14 outside. Why don't they use an oil cooler?

Misha, you are breaking the car!!!

when i saw the licence plate i knew it was a bad built... who puts the licence plate blocking the highest pressure zone of air to the rads? my lord...

If it's a DQ500 DSG, it should be able to hold that power, but maybe its a DQ381 or 250? Anything over 400hp on the EA888 engine starts to get...troublesome and seems not worth the hassle

That's a fast VW

Why airbag light on must have crashed alot of times

1:48 is this rust ?

How to chav up a golf...

What was the tyre pressure u running??

Technically second now with the 8R but prob this was recorded first

I dont think its clutch slip but maybe a failing mech unit. Owner around?

Surprised you taking the risk driving with that gearbox issue, having that happen at the wrong moment could be catastrophic for the driver and other people on track. Glad nothing bad happened and enjoyed the video. It's not worth the risk imo. take care.

Amazing car. Realy good. Congrats to the owner

The oil temp has my fucking anxiously waiting i am a vw 5

Nasty window tint.

Hahah it says a lot that this was the “best modified” car Misha drove. But he still had to restart the car in the middle of sending it just after a near death experience when it jumped out of gear😂😅

to the mooon!!

I wouldnt dare to drive my car on the ring with the airbag light on and without helmet. You know that the airbags dont deploy in an accident when the light is on?

R.I.P. the poor DQ250 :D

is the gearbox overheating somehow?

Incredible for a 2litre

Alle elektronica maakt het er niet gemakkelijker op om een auto probleemloos aan te passen.

I think the engine didn't really like that either, it was basically like a money shift. luckily the car has a rev limiter or it might've blown up, that and also like Misha said in the video 😅 the owner definately needs to get that issue fixed.

Fuel gauge dropped faster than the oil temperature rose lmao

what the Nm of this car? cheers

@1:48 Rust bucket. 😂

Gearbox doing that seems pretty dangerous. Dammmmmm

The windshield looks really cool witht those colours. Is that a heat dampening/suppressing windshield or something?
