Title: Mk5 engine used for Golf R
Post by: Hairy Porter on 16 September 2009, 17:07: The new Golf R uses a modified Mk5 engine, not the engine from the Mk6. Ours must be tougher.
Plus VW have ditched the haldex and put real 4WD on it.

Should be a corker. (Looks a bit drab though)

Why don't you start a decent topic then?

It's easy to snipe from the galleries.

So the Golf R now has a longitudinal engine and transmission, rather than the transverse layout? :rolleyes:
