AgreedIt's not hard at all, i think there are some really good diy's on this on the vwvortex forums. it takes a bit of time and care but i would say on difficulty scale maybe 3.5/10. I think if it has 70k miles on it it's probably been done at least once, but it would definitely be good to check =]

Cam followers are something that is not normally covered in an inspection and are nto considered to be a wear item. I just purchased an R as well with 62k on the clock and had to add the cam follower inspection. Mine was worn but not terrible. Getting it replaced ASAP.
Good to know and Congrats on your new R also! I am loving mine so far! A lot of speed and a lot of fun. One thing I need to get used too though is that rough suspension. Man I feel every little bump. LOL! My MK7 Golf TDI is like a Cadillac ride compared to the R's rough / sporty suspension. I'm sure the struts will have to be replaced soon as they've got 70,000 miles on them. How long does the stock suspension last for? I've got new rims and tires coming in a few days so I'm pretty excited about that. When I took it for the inspection on Friday the VW Dealership noticed that I have 2 bent rims. I'm hoping that the other dealership I bought it from will help with the cost. I'm not holding my breath though.
Haha I haven't seen my car in two weeks! I test drove it first and then did all the inspection stuff afterwards. Car is at the shop now getting haldex service BG coolant flush, fuel filter, and an oil change.
As for the ride the R might be the softest ride of the stable, and 100% has the most body roll!
Hmm? Wonder why my suspension feels so rough and noisy? Don't get me wrong it still handles and turns corners like I've never seen before! LOL! Maybe with my new rims and new continentals the ride will feel a bit smoother. Right now I've got 2 jacked up rims and 2 tires that have pretty bad cupping so maybe that's where the majority of the rough ride is coming from. The tires are some cheap summer tires that are Dunlop Direnzo's DZ102. How often do you need to get the Haldex AWD serviced?
That's most likely the cause, especially if your wheels are out of balance as well. Haldex is every 60k if I remember correctly from my research.
