HOT LAP!🔥Modified VW Golf 8 R Tried to BURN ME! // Nürburgring

[@FireEye-zd4fm]

@VW software engineers: If Nürburgring mode = 1, heated steering wheel and seats = N/A

Micha confound the steering wheel heating with the wheel ( tire) heating 😅😅😅

[@GaryBullDog]

Errors regarding the assistants seem to be a manufacturing defect in the steering wheel of VW cars. For this reason, a friend's Golf had its steering wheel replaced under warranty. Another friend who works at a dealership says they are doing mass replacements of steering wheels because of this issue.

[@bokiNYC]

Yep, same, my friend had a '22 mk8 GTI with tje same issue and got a new steering wheel installed. The fun part is that he still got errors but much less frequently. He traded it in for '24 mk8 GTI and had it for about a month now and no errors - I guess VW finally figured it out.

[@Skyliner04s]

You know, here in Germany we have a saying:"Yes, but it´s still just a Golf." And I think that´s beautiful.

[@slamminx3]

Good to see you get the front assist warning error randomly too! Bloody thing.

Lap not hot enough so Misha tried to make it hot! 🤣🔥👐

[@CubanRider]

This video reminded me how good the Mk8 is, it also reminded me why we sold ours: super sensitive front-assist that I had to disable every single time, and capacitive touch controls.

[@blam9346]

capacitive touch controls are a non issue. And front assist errors can be coded out with OBDevelen which I did for mine. Sucks for you lol.

[@arekb5951]

@@blam9346 as you can clearly see in the video touch controls are very much an issue

[@antoniospitaridis9524]

Capacitive touch are terrible. Have a 24 golf r. My sun roof controller is going to need to be replaced because the capacitive touch or wave motion sensor is tripping out or just not working entirely. The car is has great performance and handles beautifully but there are many shortcomings. Mostly to do with the capacitive touch. Still glad I got the last year they made it in manual.

[@musssou]

Que vídeo maravilhoso, eu como brasileiro e apaixonado por Golf...vendo esse R só me resta chorar kk aqui no Brasil ainda não temos, porém tenho fé pois a Volks quase que já conformou o MK8,5 para o final de 2024, aqui em Brasília mesmo já tem um importado❤

[@lockenessmotorsports818]

A very rapid and fun lap! 🤩🤩

[@drivenchris]

Crazy how problematic the steering wheels are with the new Golfs - from usability problems with the touch controls to defects causing all sorts of error messages. I think with an 'old' wheel on there the car would be pretty perfect!

[@jstoli996c4s]

Very impressive Golf R

[@BinaryReplicant]

All VW needs to do is program the steering wheel heater control to be a press and hold for five seconds (or any other duration) to activate/deactivate. Simple.

[@ollie2052000]

So f-king fast! You beast Misha!

[@eternalextrapolations]

7:05 Very impressive car, but definitely don't want to be faffing about with the steering wheel looking for a heating button while negotiating curves and traffic at 200+ Km/hr

[@Rinue618]

it looked like Misha was going to smile throughout the entire video lol 😂

[@andrxito]

Maybe he is still runing original oil weight? Can't talk for the Golf but on B58 if you go for 5w40 the oil temperature on track rarely passes 120 C. Mine stays at 116. A friend's on 0w20 Hit 130+

[@ChrisH-li5sb]

We want That w202 parked their for a long time may be for last 5/6 videos or more so do your best to test it 🤌

[@Notasheepleandneverwillbe]

Pretty impressive for a VW golf

[@robertbcope]

I have thought that it would be interesting to tie the heated steering wheel to the coolant temperature, so if the car gets hot your hands get hot... not that we're not all watching the gauges, of course. Yes, very random comment.

[@604parkour]

If you buy a Golf R you better drive it like this…if not, the GTI is the best choice.

[@Turtle2117x]

If i would drive the New golf 8 r the first thing would be change the steeringwheel. Who in the world thought this would be a great idea?

[@jarlbalgruufthegreater1758]

Just take out the fuse for the steering heating. Its unnecessary anyways

[@Corsa15DT]

excellent golf. and also, never buy lowering spring, those things are junk, buy coilovers or leave it stock.

[@rich2579]

People do springs on the 8r to keep the ability for damper/comfort adjustment via its car modes

[@spughetti]

@@rich2579 same with mk7 trims that have the adjustable dampening, the lowering springs are quite nice for a street car. I'd say something stiffer would still be needed for heavy track, because on sport they can still be a quite soft with hard driving

Hey Misha I'm travelling to the Ring for my 4th time in September and I'm interested to know if you feel the new traffic system on getting on and off the track is effective especially if you are there for the weekend. It looks like every time you want to go on track from the car park you have to go out to go in if that makes sense. Thanks

[@cacaoscotti4827]

would be a classic 8R if the travel assist error kept popping up during the lap.

[@gambler1_oz985]

Around the 6-minute mark, Misha mentioned that this car is kind of under-steery. Is it even possible to fix that, given that this is FWD biased set up?

[@mercedakiask4359]

Great lap Misha! This or the A45s AMG? Can you tell the difference in the rear torque convector between the two hot hatches?

[@AI-Records24]

For what, track? I’d take this. For road? I’d take a45s. Also reg torque converter yes but seeing as it’s all mode dependant it’s hard to call definitives. Both work well merc feels more rear biased even when golf is in drift, in my opinion.

I took the rear seats out of my old Integra just so I wasn’t used as a taxi by my family! No more airport runs at 3am! The cheek people have when going on holiday just to save a £30 taxi😂 If you don’t have kids it makes a lot of sense :) On a weight saving side yes they’re very light. I stripped or bought added lightness for my 350z and I saved 200kg(1270kg with fuel) interior weight is so minimal! The big weights are front seats, battery, exhaust, lighter wheels, stereo speakers etc
