In addition to a more powerful engine and advanced all-wheel drive system, this Golf is equipped with adaptive suspension DCC, lowered by 20 mm relative to the basic hatchback. And in comparison with the previous generation Golf R the rigidity of shock absorbers and anti-roll bar has been increased by 10%. In addition, the negative camber of the front wheels was increased (-1°20′) and the installation of an aluminum sub-frame allowed to save almost three pounds in the front suspension. Also compared to the previous Golf R the front brakes were increased to 358 mm in diameter (previously 340 mm).

1. Prepare the vehicle for work in the engine compartment
2. Open the engine hood
3. Fold the battery cover to the side in the direction of the arrow
4. Use a flashlight if lighting is poor
5. Check the round battery window on top of the battery
