Mk VI

[NewGolf]

....Quoted from the link:-

"Power will come from a 211bhp turbocharged 2.0-litre version of the group’s new global EA888 engine, equipped with the new valve-lift system developed by Audi.
Volkswagen is keen to make maintenance easier, and access to the turbo and oil cooler will be improved in a bid to cut servicing costs.

The VW GTI will get beefed-up looks too. It will have new bumpers front and rear, as well as different head and tail-lights. The headlights will have Audi-style LED running lights. Five-spoke 18in alloys will be standard, with 19in items on the options list.

The bad news for six-cylinder Golf fans is that there are no plans to replace the current R32 version, mainly because of EU emissions legislation.
Instead, VW plans to launch a four-wheel-drive R variant with a 265bhp version of the GTI engine."

....Sounds really tasty!! Oh dear! I'm still committed to keeping my very heavily modified Mk5 GTI for more years.

Ok I'm getting one as soon as its available,

The first thing I'll modify will be those running lights though........ they are COMING OFF!

I wonder if VCDS will work on the new model?

But all those are minor things compared the the fact there will be a 265HP AWD version YEEEEHARRRRR!

....I think you'll find that it will be illegal not to have DRL's on new cars in the UK very soon.

I'll be hanging on to see what the 'AWD' 265bhp GTI R-version is like. I don't expect it will be here until 2010 earliest.

....Sorry, it's because of Euro legislation that it's coming to the UK. What govn'ment do the Channel Islands come under? UK or Euro or independent?

[Horney]

My Bad, I just checked and they're not part of the UK. Flame away!

....If you mean my new GTI-R, sure!

You might be able to afford my existing one in 2010 - 100,000 miles (good for another 100k miles), extremely well maintained, highly but sensibly modified with such things as special Quaife diff, AP brakes, only Stage1, well balanced fast road car! I won't get much for her but I will have had my best 5-6 years enjoyment in any car so far!

That's exactly what I meant mate, don't trade it or sell it till you've spoken to me first. I'll start saving right now.
