GTi and Rocco engine??

[R32UK]

Does the new 2.0 200bhp Rocco have the same engine as the MKV Gti??

[topher]

same as the later ones yeah.. with a timing chain rather than belt.

Cheers!! So same tuning potential I assume??

Think this could be the next ride not 100% convinced by them... but the do look  in the right colour.

WRONG !!!! 

The new 'Rocco has the new Audi valvelift TSI engine, which is not used in any Mk5 GTI (which has the TFSI).  The new upcoming Mk6 GTI will get the new TSI lump.  There was a big thread about the new engine in the Mk6 section of the board!

TT returns! .. he must've sensed someone was wrong on the internet

did the very last mk5 gti's not have this engine though? i'm sure it was you who told me that

Normally I would but my car goes back in September so just having a sniff around some other lease deals.... £6.5k for the Sirocco GT for 2yrs. not a bad price I would say

LOL!  I've actually been very ill  - since before xmas - my worst in history!    I still ain't right

Nope, they still had the TFSI, just like the very last Pirellis to roll off the line.  Speaking only of Dubs (and not the other VAG marques), the first user of the new TSI was the Rocco, which as I'm sure you are aware, is based on the new Golf Mk6 platform - so technically, any such threads on the Rocco should be in the Mk6 section!

Can't you get a 2nd hand RS4 - then you would know what real four wheel drive feels like!

Sorry to hear about your health fella. If it means you can't drive your motor then i'd be happy to look after it for a while.. make sure it doesn't seize up

This is going to twist my melon now then, was there some other revision to the later GTI engines that I'm confusing this with


oh i don't think I have the energy for another haldex discussion today
