hello all,
im looking at buying a mk6 R at some point in the future(as soon as my current car sells),
after driving both manual/dsg im 100% set on dsg.(3dr/non sunroof/ideally with cruise/nav) the rest is irrelevant as ill be doing some weight saving/ring prep.
are there any things i should be looking out for when buying one? any major issues/faults?
cheers
Pete

Have you looked at prices for a second hand mk7r as there's not much between them
-
But Mk7 .:R's are like dog poo. They get everywhere.
When was the last time you saw a Mk6 .:R? The Mk6 will command a much better resale value due to it's rarity and future classic status.
Finding one with a sunroof may take some doing, but cruise and nav are easily retro fitted.

I see 2 everyday a blue one and a black one :wink: although I see ten times as many mk7 r so I see your point

7R is a better car but the 6 is rarer

Main thing to check is that the heldex is actually working.
Engines the same as edition 30 mk5 and has few weaknesses.
Water pump: Check coolent level is not at min as this may indicate pump leaking.
Air con: check works as if not serviced can cause compressor failure.
