i have problem today with all wheel drive and all light error in the dash i change batterie but no result ..dtc rear axele implausible signal..internal malfunction ...can you help me

Im a Magna employee as well

Thank you for your product. I have your Transfer Case in my 2018 Genesis G80.

Hmm road hazards 🤔 I'ma look into that, I know the Haldex units are pricey to replace and work on.

go for a TTRS

For almost the same money get BMW 240M IX rear biased AWD twin turbo six, it is far superior to this econo hatchback based, FWD biased, 4 banger. Plus you don't have to deal with the stupid capacitive touch buttons they us ed for everything on this car.

@@ericmichel3857 There is also quite a big price difference between a new mk8r and a new m240i

@@Duif_RS6 That is not true, you don't have to believe me go to the BMW site and build your own. The Golf R with DCT is $45.5 K, the base M240i Xdrive is $48.5K and comes with a lot more than what you get with a Golf R, like a far superior drive train, engine, Brembo brakes, better interior/exterior, and it is a BMW and lets be honest, brand names have value. Personally I would pay a bit extra for custom paint for $550 and the performance package for $2400, so my version would be $6K more than the Golf, but you could choose to forgo those options and have a far better car for only $3K more. If you are already spending nearly $50K out the door for a Golf, what's another $3K - $6K? If you are telling me yes I can afford $50K for a Golf R but $53K? If that is just to rich for your blood, then you probably shouldn't be buying either one of these cars. The whole point of these hopped up econo-cars was that you could get similar performance to high end cars but at an affordable price. They were always compromised in other ways, like esthetics, style, material quality, ride... but we did not care because for the money you got similar performance to cars costing a lot more. Now the price is is only barely below the high end options, but they still have the same compromises, at these price points this car does not make sense.

@@ericmichel3857 I can only tell your what is true for my country. Here in Denmark the BMW is quite alot more expensive than a mk8r

Are people calling RS3 by mk. generations now? 😅

@@dickard8275 no, the "mk3" is an 8V, and the "mk4" is the 8Y.

@@jamesmontano5916 The mk3 would be the 8Y, there wasn't a 8L version of the RS3

@@MrZyLeXx hence why calling things by "mkX" doesn't make any sense if there's an existing chassis code that's easy to use. Regardless of whether an RS3 existed in 8L, the 8Y would still be a "mk4". The golf R didn't exist until the mk6 (or the mk4 if you count the R32) you still refer to it as a "mk6 golf R". That's because the "mkX" is you describing the chassis, not the model/trim. This is why you don't refer to it by "mkX", you refer to it by the chassis code.

@@jamesmontano5916 you just don't describ RS3's by MK anything though

You should do a leak down and compression test

It’s an incredible car

@@HumbleMechanic Thanks... I'm really looking forward to it!

The best golf ever made.

Get oneeee

As far as I’ve read, the S3 gets the older system (or more basic Magna system). The R gets the Performance Pack differential which is only available on the RS3. So…the R has a better AWD system than the S3. Along with the sunroof, the R gets the win this time around.

@@JoJoJoker that's slightly disappointing, but totally makes sense. Thanks for answering!

@@JoJoJoker, I think the Golf R has slightly bigger brakes while maintaining a lighter weight as well. It's a shame because I def prefer the interior of the S3, and I find that this newer gen is a considerable difference in quality with the S3 surpassing. Still, it's a hard buy because of the lack of these performance improvements that went into the Golf R. Personally, I think they should've done what they've always done and just built the same exact chassis and powertrain. As an 8.5V S3 owner, for my next car, I'd like to have the upgraded performance of the Golf R. Still, I'm not really willing to downgrade to that interior, especially with the new infotainment system. I also don't want to drive the slightly "inferior" S3 model. Thus, I'll probably consider an alternative to my long-loved VAG selections. Might just avoid all the bullshit with the newer cars and get a 2018/19 M2, haha.

We haven’t put out a video yet but we did test a flush kit and found 11/15 to be very solid www.shopdap.com/make-model-year/volkswagen/gti/mk8-gti-main/mk8-gti-wheels/mk8-gti-wheels-spacers/wheel-spacer-flush-kits/wheel-spacer-flush-kit-for-mk8-gti-black.html

$50 for your Mk7.5, best I can do :D

Some of the well known car mag reviews have been less than enthusiastic about this car. Besides the obvious (and justified IMO) complaint about the capacitive touch buttons, they also claim a lot of understeer on track (even in drift mode) and poor steering feel. Some even say the MK7 was better? Any thoughts/comments on those reviews?

@@rabbitenjoyer6320 Thats a nah for me dog

@@ericmichel3857 I have watched zero of those reviews.. I didn't want my opinion influenced. The capacitive stuff is fine.. great? NO but VW has never in the history of ever had a GREAT UI... The rest I can't really say as I haven't driven on track. What I will say is trashing a car will always get more views.

Got a question you didn't seem to cover. Does the car have a similar setup in the front? So you get torque vectoring in both the front and rear? Cheers.

It’s a white claw count down!!!……. Dun nun dun da

In the front you should be able to

Hard to say yet

Haldex has been there for years🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

im also wondering if this is possible (to turn a MK1 TT into a 2.5T beast)

Fix it. We’ve got parts for you ; )

Look for that coming on the HumbleMechanic channel

The SCCA March Fastrack officially put the mk8 R into DS, and the mk8 GTI into GS.

Looking forward to the DIY as I’m just speculating from this video. Great video by the way. Much love

yes.

Same, plus the front of the Mk8 is ugly. Rear looks nice though.

Weld the clutch packs together
