VW /Audi has developed a new 2.0 litre turbo diesel developing more than 200 bhp. While it will now give the Golf GTI's 2.0 litre petrol engine a much better run for its money, it delivers considerably better fuel consumption. I know for sure that this motor will go in Audi A3 and A4 models. But does anyone know what plans VW has to fit such an engine in the current GTD?
My guess would be 2011 model year cars. But whenever it happens, it is sure to make the choice between diesel and and petrol a little more difficult.
What do I care, I am moving rapidly towards getting the Golf R.

Impressive power output. I'd bet you won't see this engine until very late in the Mk6 life, if at all.
Petrol all the way for me though.

the GT170 will remap to over 200bhp anyway :lipsrsealed:

12-24 months after the various Audi models? I think Audi get that period of exclusivity and then you'll probably see it in a Seat/Skoda a couple of months before the VW!

Sounds similar to the new Mercedes 2.2 twin-turbo diesel:

Will most likely end up in the MK7 GTD in late 2011/early 2012.

It never ceases to amaze me how some people still think a faster car means a better car. :rolleyes:

but with almost identical styling, same power and more usable torque it will probably be the car :laugh:

I've just taken delivery of the new c250 cdi sport, it's superb! 204bhp and great torque :laugh:

Yes, but wouldn't you rather have a 200 bhp Golf GTD from Volkswagen than from some cowboy outfit, who might not have the knowledge and experience to add the additional bits and bobs required to ensure long-term reliability?

I have got a mk6 GTD and have had it remapped by my local revo dealer it is now far quicker than the mk6 gti even standard from a roling start the gtd was just as quick as the gti until you get to 100+. I work for VW and think that as an all rounder its hard to beat this car especially now its quicker than the mk6 gti probably better residuals and 40+ mpg.

don't use cowboys then, simples! :grin:
it's probably just a tinkered 170 engine when you break it down anyway.

I was swaying toward the GTD before I plumped for the GTI. I don't actually have a preference for either but got a good deal on a pre-reg GTI so went that way. Mine's had similar engine treatment to yours too...... :evil:

If thats the same engine they were playing with over two years back in development its more than a tinkered 170 engine theres huge differences and two turbos.

vw are slotting in a 180ps twin turbo four pot engine into their new T5 van soon so there's hope a 200PS Diseasel will make it into a Golf......well I say hope, DERV haters won't hope. I could be swayed by one though.

If they drop this in the GTD, i'll go for it over the GTi. Better hurry up though gonna take the plunge soon!
