F10RS • 1 yr. ago. I own MK7 GTI Fully Bolt on Stage 3 from APR about 420hp I also have 2018 TSI 1.8T to get to 350hp you will need to upgrade the Turbo,most likely Downpipe,Intake,Intercooler and Exhaust. Than Tune it. On my TSI I’m stage 1 from APR,Ignition Coils,plugs and Intake and I’m roughly around 240hp on 91. Dealer: "I can confirm that the cost for a timing belt and water pump in a Mk 7 Golf 1.6TDI of the year 2013 is actually €550This is because these model Golfs come with an electrical pump and a different kit which is more expensive than the standard Golf models of previous years. It also takes longer to change the kits in these vehicles." Only five years ago, the original Golf BlueMotion did 0-62mph in 11.3 seconds, with 62.8mpg economy. This standard 2.0 TDI beats those figures by 2.7 seconds and 6.1mpg respectively. Now that’s I have a 2016 1.4 TSI Match ( 92 kw) 7 speed DSG which has just done 40K miles. The Gearbox Type code that is mentioned in the Service Book is RES . I am not sure which DSG name & clutch type this gearbox relates e.g. DQ200 or DQ250 or something else and whether this is wet or a dry clutch. So, If anything does happen in the next year - I'll still have it under warranty. In the meantime I'm pretty happy with the job they did replacing the sensor and camera in the ACC system. All the other sensors in my MK7 work just fine. Its a great car and all the new tech in the MK7 make it a really good car to drive. Mark I am sure I have read it on this forum, the 1.4 TSI 122PS engine is a new engine and is not the same as the one in MK6. As I am a proud owner of the MK7 with the above mentioned engine, I am sure it is belt driven. Top Answer. James B. January 5, 2021.

The source could be from the stereo's speakers or a phone that is connected to the vehicle. Whatever the source, You will have to have these issues solved quickly. The 1.4L Golf starting at $32,250 is a car with a lot of character.
