Just checking the 2.0 TSI engine does not feature a supercharger, a la 1.4 TSI turbocharged and supercharged does it?
when i first took it on a test drive the stealer pointed out the sound of the supercharger on lowish revs, but it doesn't have one does it?
-
just a good old fashioned turbo mate :smiley:
-
Should of said to him, if you can point out the supercharger, i can have the car at half price. lol

Cancel your order and take your money elsewhere - don't get it serviced by these numb nuts either!
-
well i'll certainly be having words if i'm charged for a replacement SC shortly after the warranty runs out in the f!
-
I do wonder how these people gets jobs at VW sometimes.

-

When I first test drove the Scirroco when it 1st came out, the salesman also told me the S on the TSI mean supercharge.
I wonder how someone can sell a product when one know nothing about what they are selling.
After talking to a few VW sales team from different dealership, Im really surprise how poor their product knowledge is. They are really below par when compare with Audi, BMW or even Skoda!

I got the " the new GTI engine is supercharged" as well....unbelievable really...makes you wonder

Just like the twit at my local, who was adamant the R32 had - and I quote "full time four wheel drive, with at least 60% going to the rear, and upto 100% going to the rear". I politely told him only the RS4 and RS6 do that. But no, the dick-head was adamant he was correct, so I asked him to get on his hands & knees and show me where the Torsen centre diff was, he replied it didn't need one. In the end, I had to complain to the DP, and told them I would be informing Trading Standards for misrepresentation. A P45 was duly issued!

I dont know much about the new Golf range, only know someone at work with a 1.4TSI and he told me it has a super charger and a turbo, I I assumed that's what the TS bit meant. So I can see how people get confused if the 2.0 is called a TSI as well. But obviously a dealer should know better.
What does TSI stand for btw?

Jeeeez :shocked: :rolleyes:
- for the record:
- T - can mean supercharger, or turbocharger, or both - but in the Mk6 GTI, just means Turbo
- S - only means 'Stratified' - a lean burn mode of combustion which utilises direct injection
- I - just like all Volkswagen Group cars, simply stands for 'injection'
So - TSI simply means: Turbocharged Stratified Injection. Simples! :kiss:

Sadly, most stealers, not just VW are like this. Ford and Vauxhall are generally as equally ignorant. :rolleyes:

I won a 1.1 Rover 25 a good few years back and the dealer owner went out with me for a drive in it and I asked him if the 1.1 was 16v and he said no it's 8v. I looked under the bonnet when i got it home and it clearly said 1.1 16v on the engine cover...

I confess I did feel really good when he got the boot. I repeatedly told him I owned both an RS4 and a GTI, and did NOT want to purchase an R32 - which he was pushing with more viggor than a drug dealer with a bag of smack at some school gates!
Thankfully, the chap who replaced him is much better, much more mature, and upfront about his lack of indepth tecchy knowledge!
But I still haven't managed to get rid of the utterly incompetent bodyshop manager . . . but I keep on nibbling away - he will fail! :evil: :evil:

Are you sure you wanted to own up to such a dastardly deed on this forum of high-calibre German motor cars? :evil: :evil:

Hey it's not my fault I won it! :grin:
It was too small an engine for the car, but to be honest the car was more fun to drive on country roads than the mk4 I have now.

nothing wrong with small engines in small cars. my 1.0 litre aygo may be low on power and noisy, but its nippy enough and can sorta hold its own on the motorways.
