If you plan to modify mk8 Golf R, GTI or most other VWs, these are the mods I feel are the best first mods to make. These mods are pretty affordable, improve the car greatly, and make driving an owning the MK8 Golf R all around better. Even if you plan to further modify the MK8 Golf R, you have to start modifying somewhere. I think these are the best first modifications you can make.

As much as I have LOVED my time with the MK8, it's time for it to go to a new home. Ive heard those rumors about special editions at the end of mk8.5 for the R... might be saving my pickles for that. :)

BIG +1 for the pay-to-play game with tuning. Got my 7.5 4 years ago and it took every ounce of self discipline to not tune it. I told myself i would wait until the warranty expired, and i am so glad i did. With 40,000mi on the clock and 8 months left on the warranty, my transmission started producing a funny sound, so i took it to the dealer and they decided to replace the entire transmission under warranty. I am 100% certain that if i was tuned they would absolutely have denied the claim. Now, I'm ~5 months out of warranty and ive been tuned since the week after the warranty expired. Loving every minute with the extra power!

i have a 2022 vw golf r. I noticed when i was at the dealership the other day that power folding mirrors is now either an option or standard. I bought and put on power folding mirrors from Paul (no install option...). I also bought and installed the shopdap short shifter. Lastly, i changed the rear view mirror to the frameless one which has the compass within it and integrated garage door opener. The rearview mirror is really a head scratcher that it wasn't included in the standard purchase. I wish that the trunk hatch had a power opener, but that is stretching it. Thanks for this update video. I am thinking about an exhaust and a tune, but that will happen after warranty ends. Great channel. Love the content.

@@TheTexican05 I moved to an MK8. Honestly, I miss my Mk7 Performance. With the little mods I made and a few big mods, I think it was a better platform than the MK8. TBH, I'm three weeks and 1,500 km in, and I've improved the car a bit by turning down some of the software interventions with ODBEleven. The car really is good; it's just not a weapon like my 3dr MK7 Performance.

I’ve upgraded the rear sway bar on a few FWD cars I’ve had, but I’ve been wondering how it improves an AWD car. I love the coding changes, and is one reason I miss owning a VW.

I've put a rear sway bar on pretty much all of my cars in the last few years when available. Even on my Corolla Hybrid it has a rear sway bar. There are just no side effects to it, and on my Corolla hybrid it really helps make the car neutral in handling with the ability to get it to rotate a bit with the aid of stiffer rear springs than front. (insert electric slide joke here)

Maybe so, but if you want to take instruction on track in your GTI, put in a dogbone and insert to stop the never ending thumping from the front, and a rear sway bar to improve cornering SO MUCH the instructor will wonder if it's really a Golf. Way better turn in and the rear end float is gone. Don't have experience in the R (sadly) but the GTI is far better with just those two things. MKV onwards.

Don't think I want to do this anyway. Thought about a cold air intake or ram air. But I was told I would have to have it tuned. Another is to change the exhaust. I don't want it real loud just good tone. Just to make it more sporty sounding. Don't know if I can do that with a 4 cylinder engine. Was thinking Magnaflow. I've some mods already with led lighting still have more to do on the Camry. Happy with what I've done so far. My question is how far can I take the mods on a 2000 Camry LE 4 cylinder.

I highly recommend to avoid the sway bar in the rear for the MK8 R. The reason I say this is because I feel the MK8 R rear end is already pretty unstable when the conditions are slick. I have gotten in trouble while turning hard in the wet. Especially when I applied throttle. The car already rotates very well on the stock rear bar. Stiffening it any further and it will become dangerous in non-dry conditions.

Hi brother, I have a 2014 Vw polo and have changed the gearbox with used one . After replacing the car is always in gear and when I try start it jumps . I disconnected the selector cable and moved the gearbox to all the different positions but the clutch is always engaged in forward gear. M I missing a step ? Thank you
