Ever since I bought my MK7.5 Golf R, I've been inundated with questions asking what the differences are between the MK7.5 & MK7. Please note that, like I mentioned in the video, this video only contains the main differences. Regardless, I hope you enjoy the video and find it informative! :-)

I think really to summerise, it's the extra gear with the DSG which is the major difference, slightly more power and torque, the digital dashboard, and LED headlights. Everything else is the same.

Prefer the 7.5 interior but have to say prefer the aesthetics of the 7. There's one main reason for that. You can buy a cooking version Golf and spec an 'R-Design' kit for it. The R-Design bumpers look almost identical to the R. So many times I've mistaken, at a distance, a basic Golf 7.5 with an R-Design kit for an actual R. It's demeaned the proper MK7.5 R.

Must say as a 2014 Mk7 R owner I found this video very interesting. One thing to add to the changes between the cars is the location of the ACC sensor. On the Mk7 it is located in the plastic panel below the grill, on the 7.5 it is hidden behind the VW badge on the bonnet. Personally speaking the styling of the 7.5 is just that bit sharper than its predecessor and the digital dash is most impressive.

I was literally screaming this at the screen as I watched. If the window fogs up as I'm driving along, I DO NOT want to have to take my eyes off the road to try and move my finger to a touch button, press it and then take my eyes off the road again to see if a little light came on to show it worked. With a physical button, if you know where it is you can find it without taking your eyes off the road and then press it - knowing that it worked because you felt it move. Touch screen is fine, but only for complex functions that are rarely done, like programming satnav or changing car settings.

If you buy a MK7 Golf R with over 40K on the clock please make sure the DSG box has had it's oil and filter changed. Same for the Haldex system. This can prevent big problems and big bills. I have a MK7 DSG R and it is the fastest most comfortable best balanced and reliable car I have ever had. In six years of ownership, repair wise it has had a new water pump seal and a new speed sensor on one of the wheels. Love the thing, and it can relax you totally one minute and blow your mind the next.

You CANNOT order a new golf R in the uk or Europe at the moment due to the new emissions tests, you can’t even spec one, all R’s up until this point have been available in manual or DSG, both 7 and 7.5 have Cadiz wheels as stock and both could have the option of the Pretoria’s, the infotainment screen was 5.8” in the early models until sept 2015 (MIB1) where it changed to a 6.5” screen (MIB2), throughout this time until the facelift car was launched you could spec a discover pro system with an 8” screen in place of the smaller screens, the “basic” discover system in the 2017+ facelift model (MIB2.5) has an 8” screen as standard fitment and the discover pro a 9.2” screen available as an option, (MIB1 is also lower resolution than MIB2),

Quick question, I have a USDM 2019 GOLF R and a mudflap hit my front emblem and now it's cracked. I looked closely and I need to replace the emblem. The problem is the emblem is different than other GOLFs.. I noticed that in most volkswagens the emblem is exposed and you can just pop it off with a screwdriver. On my 2019 Golf R the front emblem appears to be protected by a thing plastic dome. Do you know if that dome just clips in as well? On the video it looks like your emblem is also covered by a dome. Can you check please?-

Ok so why dont both those cars have button start? Is it an option? I have a R 7 DSG with leather seats which are awesome but Its a remote key working on a proximity so i can leave it in my pocket and just start the car straight away.

Hey I rlly like ur golf r I would like to know if it’s tuned like more horsepower? And I would like to know also does it affect the warranty in case if I delete the resonator ? Thank you very much

Thanks a lot! It's not tuned no. Deleting the resonator will only invalidate the exhaust's warranty, not the whole warranty

I have 2 questions... 1. Will Golf R DSG in manual mode automatically shift up if you hit rev limiter or red line? 2. Will Golf R DSG in manual mode automatically downshift if you for example driving 60 km/h in 6 gear and you push gas pedal to the floor or it will stay in 6 and try to speedup?
@alextegg3838
@alextegg3838 6 жыл бұрын
Boris K. Yes it upshifts automatically before you hit redline. In manual mode it won’t kick down unless you push the throttle right to the floor, or the revs get too low for the gear you’re in.

Cool Video Man. One other thing that was important to me, is that the Proximity Sensor is behind the front badge in the 7.5 and cut out in the grill on the 7. Looks way better not having that cut out IMO.

You didn't highlight the differences between the VW badges on the front. The older Golf R has a proper badge while on the new Golf R 7.5 it's actually a sticker.

Great video, we have matching cars! One question, why is your car without push button and electric seats? In Canada, we get full electric seats and push button/keyless entry as standard. Is that a characteristic of UK Golf R’s? Or is it just the spec of your car? Cheers
