Old thread I know, but though I'd add this here to complete the details. The 184ps version of the EA288 Engine (CUNA) also has variable valve timing that the lower powered models don't The cylinder head of the EA288 engine is a cross-flow cylinder head made of an aluminum alloy. The valves are...

Not 100% sure - just trying to help you guys out (if you are willing to accept help from an owner of a lesser brand :D:D:D)

Here it is http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2014-RHD-VW-Golf-7-MK7-Seat-mk3-footrest-pedals-Car-pedal-Cover/32218031571.html

Actually, in your build thread, that one looks identical to the one I previously had in my GTD. It looked just like that but obviously black plastic. As I said the DSG version footrest is wider than the manual version, so the new one is a bit slimmer, but fitted perfectly. For info, here's a...

Not sure if the S3 has the same dead pedal arrangement as the MK7 Golf, but I got this from Aliexpress about 5 months ago for my GTD, and is a dead ringer for the sports pedals. Don't know if this helps ? Note - It is slightly narrower than the wider DSG original version (I think this is the...

I have been thinking the same thing, as my GTD DSG loves to spin it's wheels in 1st and 2nd gear (but that may be more down to the sh1t Bridgestone Potenza types it's came out of the factory with), as it certainly seems to have a lot more torque available once rolling. VW do state in their GTD...

My Golf 7 GTD has ACC as standard and has the flat radar camera. All MK7 Golfs from about WK44 onwards are now arriving with the flat sensor as mentioned, with the domed one being deleted.

The COD display can be activated by VCDS (if you have a cable). Detailed instructions here: stemei.de .VCDS Codierungen .Codierungsservice .Webdesign - Stefan Meier - Zylinderabschaltung anzeigen - VCDS Codierungen, Webdesign Basically : Select Module 17 (Instruments) Select Adaptations ->...

Is this referring to the distance that the ACC will let you get to the car in front, from very close to a longer distance ? If it is, I'm surprised that the A3 doens't let you adjust it on the fly, so to speak, as my MK7 GTD has the ACC as standard, and using the steering wheel buttons, I can...

Agree, again (sorry) comparing my GTD, which DNA wise is 80-90% of all the other MQB platform cars. I opted for DSG (S-Tronic), and the GTD comes with Start / Stop, electroinc handbrake and hill hold assist as standard, and they just work. In fact, I prefer the implementation of the stop start...

I know it's not an A3, but my new Golf GTD has the progressive steering (I guess it will be the same system ?), and it's fantastic. takes a few minutes to get used to it but it's really direct in the straight ahead position, but point it into a series of bends, and the amount of steering...

Ouch ! :p

Cool, you mean I'm actually welcome :p

I know I'm from the dark side, but as we all share the same engines / gearboxes, thought I'd share my mpg from my 2 week old MK7 Golf GTD with the 184ps which I know a few of you guys are waiting for on your new A3's Last Import-0 by Sootchucker, on Flickr This has happened two times now (low...

I'm pretty sure that's just the input method. Audi uses MMI and VW use touch screen, however they are both connected by the same optical cable to the processing unit (which houses the DVD and SD card slots) in the glovebox. It's this box that does all the processing. Obviously the software...
