As nice as it would be, it's still a pipe dream
Hi guys,
The Runners are all freshies, mid-2012 built and complied. No old stockers here.
With the difference between the TDI & TSI, look at how many km per year you plan to do.
Very roughly, if you're going to do more than 18,000km p/a then go the diesel, if less then go the petrol
That rule only applies to the T5GP and the TDI400 (132kW) engine. The 128kW in the T5 were actually standard with the 16" wheel in later models (VWA originally brought them out with the 17s but a...
160Nm and a torque curve like a table is what's really important.
I was driving one at the launch around this time last year around the hilly sections around the southern beaches in Sydney. ...
Not to get into a slanging match, but if you read the bulletin closely that's not quite what it says.
Cheerio,
Sam
ah don't worry about it then, if he won't pony up for the diesel then the TSI160 is fine. It'll surprise you, ask any of the guys with the Polo that has the 1.2L. The TSI160 is also easily the most...
The TSI160 is a ripper unit and is really good to drive. Puts the old 1.6 in the shade in every way.
If you do more than about 15,000km a year though, have you got him to consider the diesel? ...
Hi All,
Volkswagen have announced that for the next couple of months we will be selling the Amarok with free on roads. (4MOTION Variants only)
...
Not likely to be known until it's right on the verge of coming out. Check back June/July/August next year.
Dealers can take an order at any time. As far as acutally placing the order with the factory - we won't be able to do that until release which we are tentatively being told is 2nd half 2012. The...
Nope, it's a ZF
Won't happen until the second half of 2012 in Oz
Yup, it's the same gearbox as the Touareg.
I actually really like the LED DRLs. Especially on the Skoda RS, they really make the styling of the front of that car pop. But you are right, that is 100% what they are for, the implied safety...
yes but that's how VWA see it. The Caravelle is the LWB offering. In the last model where the Caravelle was available in both lengths all it did was cannibalise Multivan sales. When you're in a...
Nope, no word on Bluemotion yet but I seriously doubt it. We are getting the petrol later this year. LWB Multivan also not available in oz.
yup, optional on all MY12 multivans, no word on pricing yet
now that is awesome. nice work
do the shift paddles work?
New Ranger is bigger than the current one, but I had a really thorough look around it at the motor show, the interior is still very plasticky and the rear suspension is still a very rudimentary...
I guess there's nothing to say a Golf or Tiguan kit wouldn't work. You'd have to ask for it very specifically in your agreement with a dealer though - there wouldn't be many out there willing to...
Any Sub-Contractor (i.e 'dealer-fit accessory') will NOT integrate with the RNS/RCD510. Only the factory fitted sensors will. At this stage there is no genuine accessory available for the Amarok.
Yup dual sliding doors are std, the pics of the ones with the table attached to the wall are from Europe, we don't get that setup here.
Hi there,
Edition 25 is only FWD.
There are only 75 coming to Oz.
Cheers.
