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,

Looking forward to it. I had an R36 & enjoyed it, as did my wife. Hope it rekindles the same driving enjoyment. And, with the large Golf R repertoire of performance upgrades available - it means we can have our family car & sports car in one - all for not much cash!

Yes the good thing about the 206TSI is that it will be a lot more tuneable than the R36.

Originally posted by chopper View PostIn SA, I believe they have (had) the 2.0 GTI engine as their top spec. model, with front wheel drive... like Skoda have in their base Superb here. This is the drivetrain VW should have had in the Comfortline Passat, not a 1.8L.
But now in the typical Aussie sucker market will have to pay more for the 2.0 engine!

It amazes me the Superb gets the 162kW engine, while the Passat gets the 132kW unit!Now - MY17 Passat 206TSI Wagon - Tungsten Silver | Sunroof

Just purchased a MY2017 Passat 206 R. What a superbly equipped car. No head up display but excellent value for money. 203kW awd Golf R brakes and adjustable suspension with Sport mode which changes the steering, suspension, gearbox shift points, air conditioning use etc. Lovely car to drive and it has the VW Driver Assist package. Accelerates well, goes around corners well and stops very well.
