New Passat 206TSI R-Line

[zzc2010]

Thanks, do you have any supporting documentation I can show the dealer?

That’s how VW doing things for years.

I don’t have any documents.

That’s how the cars are configured man.

And seriously man.

Your car sounds like the factory put on a wrong comfortline bumper.

206 should have one pipe each side. No cover on the bumper. Both pipes outwards and straight like the Superb 206 or other 206s.

Is your car new? Someone fixed the car and put on a wrong bumper maybe?

It’s just my guessing. No offence.

Are you sure about that? My Golf Alltrack, and the previous Yeti, are twin straight out and I'm pretty sure the new Tiggy is the same with both TDI engines.

Almost positive - but there are all kinds of weird things in the ADR's like the exhaust can't exit towards the kerb side etc.

MY18 206 TSI R-Line:

2017 Volkswagen Passat 206TSI R-Line B8 Auto 4MOTION MY18

Bumper clearly has cut outs in both sides.
Exhaust clearly points straight back.

MY17 206TSI R-Line is the same:

2016 Volkswagen Passat 206TSI R-Line B8 Auto 4MOTION MY17

Bumper clearly has cut outs in both sides.
Exhaust clearly points straight back.


MY17 132TSI Comfortline without R-Line pack:

2017 Volkswagen Passat 132TSI Comfortline B8 Auto MY17

No cut outs. Not sure if their tips are meant to point down or if they're straight.

So my guesses are these:

1. You got a 206TSI R-Line with the "R-Line pack" bumper instead of the "R-Line" bumper. Or;
2. You got a 132TSI Comfortline with an R-Line pack and Luxury pack and it was sold to you just as an R-Line (unlikely)

But what I think is guaranteed, is that the 206 TSI R-Line is meant to have cut outs both sides and straight tips.

It definitely won't be a comfortline bumper. They're so basic they're open where the exhaust is.

I reckon it's a diesel "R-Line pack" bumper instead of a the petrol version. Simple mistake.

R-line Comfortline bumper?

Isn’t it the same as your R-line Diesel bumper?

What’s the difference?

What mistake?

If you have a petrol Passat it should have the petrol R-Line bumper.

What I'm saying is, I think you got the diesel R-Line Pack bumper.

Only the 206 got pipes out bumpers.

All the other R lines are the same covered fake ones.

OK cool. So there's the R-Line bumper with cut outs, and the R-Line pack bumper with no cut outs.

That means it's actually a Comfortline with R-Line pack and Luxury Pack, or an R-Line with the wrong bumper.

There’s a wrong bumper on his car.

It’s either from the factory in Germany or more likely someone repaired the car and put on a wrong bumper.

Yup I get what you're saying - I agree.

Or there's a wrong car attached to his bumper! lol I would hate to think someone was sold a 132TSI with R-Line and Lux pack as simply an "R-Line".

Thanks everyone. Dealership now agrees that my car most likely has the correct exhaust, incorrect bumper and incorrect VIN specs, now waiting for Volkswagon to confirm before repairs are made.

Though mine has twin tips on each side and from the carsales picture, that one does too.

If what I drove wasn't a 206TSI, then I can't imagine the carnage you'd get up to in a real one. It's really quick.

Car is brand new, so most likely from factory.

tis a similar story with Superb 206 Sportline
the 206 TSi Sportline has twin straight through exhausts and gets "real exhaust" tips
while the 162 TSi Sportline has twin downward facing exhaust and "fake exhaust" tips with no cut out.

206TSi Sportline


162TSi Sportline

*overseas model shown here as we don't get Sportline versions here except for the 206.
