Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Amarok questions (mpg, motor, etc)

    Hi there,

    I'm currently on the lookout for a new pickup and the 'rok caught my eyes. I like it's design,it's car-like features and the fact that it seems to be a good car to cover long distance driving, yet still being able to be a quite good offroader for the weekend overland trips.

    I found a few models in my price range, but I'm not sure about a few things.

    - What are your real-world average mpg with the Bi-TDI 180 and with the V6 224?
    - When was introduced the EA288 into the amarok lineup? I heard some saying 2012, others 2014?
    - Is there any known issue with the V6 to look prior buying?
    - How much cheaper is the servicing of the Bi-TDI compared to the V6?
    - The V6 has a timing chain, right?

    Thanks for your time and replies.
Working...
