Re: 6R rear badge/camera

Ok Tim, I think the badges (Golf MK7 vs MK6) are not interchangeable. I'm not sure. 5K0853630B ... MK6 5G0853617A ... MK7 Maybe on AliExpress there is something interesting for the MK6 RVC ... I mean the shiny black background. It's actually the shiny black background and the blue edging that I lik...

Re: Bilstein B14 coilovers on 6R Gti

I have the B14's on my WRC. They are quite stiff, so on bad roads they are a quite annoying. On smooth roads the handling is great though. For me they work for daily driver but then again, I'm used to a stiff ride since my old car was a Golf GTI mk3, lowered on cheap stiff coilovers. And the factor...

Should be OK.

The rear calipers of a Mk4 R32 will fit, yes, but the caliper carriers won't. You need FWD rear callipers, 4WD will not work.
Ah yes-I forgot the R32 was 4WD!

Re: Polo 6R Brake Upgrade

I wonder if MK4 Golf R32 rear calipers would fit? I was looking at the Brembo website and for some reason it doesn't list 310/312 being availabale in the Max style discs. But there is a Brembo Max disc in 310/312 here: https://www.autodoc.co.uk/brembo/1657273 which has the same stud pattern, same th...

Re: Does anyone know how much headlight washer piping is needed?

I don't really think the piping is the issue but the connectors might be. I have ordered: 1x8E0955975 (washer T-piece, 3x6R0955665 (washer elbow), 1x02297842 (washer holder), 1x6R0955195 (washer holder), I already have the pump 6R0955681, the larger bottle 6R0955453ED, the washers themselves 6C0955...

Does anyone know how much headlight washer piping is needed?

I will be adding headlamp washers to my Blue GT, as I have xenon's to fit, but annoyingly both pipes -7P6955964B £5.20 for 5M and 1J0955964F £12.61 for 5M, I can only order 5 lots of 5M of each! Somehow, I don't think I need 25M of each and don't really want to pay that cost when I only need a small...

i upgraded to the 256mm vented rear and it helped a lot with higher speed braking
What callipers, carriers and backing plates etc did you use?

Re: Polo 6R Brake Upgrade

Yes from 288 to 310/312 means you have to replace the carrier and the disc. I think you can have 272mm rear discs as well, non-vented Thanks Iichel-the carriers are on their way to me now. Will order the backing plates once I can actually get to speak to the parts department at the local VW dealers!

Re: Polo 6R Brake Upgrade

Myself, I have the 288mm front brakes with Ferodo 2500 pads and TRW discs. On the rear also TRW rotors but with the factory pads, I think these are from TRW too. Sometimes I'm considering an upgrade to 312mm, it only needs a change of the brake caliper carrier and disc... but then I ask myself why....

Re: Has anyone ordered from Kunset before?

It has only been a week since you ordered (from a company in Germany). Given the current situation, I think you will have to exercise a bit a patience ... I'm not being impatient about the time, it's just that I would have liked some acknowledgement that they had received my payment/replies to my e...

Has anyone ordered from Kunset before?

Last week I ordered 4 looms for my 6R Blue GT from Kunset https://www.kunset.de/ -headlamp washer, headlamp levelling, Halogen to Xenon and heated seats which came to 222 Euros. They emailed the order and payment has to be made by bank transfer which seemed a little strange. I made the payment by tr...

Re: 6R rear badge/camera

The RVC adapter can be used for the Golf MK7's RVC when installed in the 6R, but be careful, you have to take into account that the ORIGINAL camera for Golf MK7 does not use the same video signal as the ORIGINAL camera for Golf MK6, and the Golf7 MK7's RVC is not compatible with the original radio/...

Ha ha! Only way I can think of being able to change it to white would be if you could get the red filter 3D printed in a clear/opaque material if there is such a thing?

Do you happen to know what type of bulb is used behind the cigarette lighter socket on the red filter? As mine has never worked and would like to buy an led version if possible.

Thanks!
