New Passat 206TSI R-Line

[Rocket36]

It’s one of the more unusual mistakes to be made in the factory I have to say.... especially considering they’ve even stuffed up the VIN code!

Extremely rare.

Really curious what the result is.

Keep us updated Plz

With the upcoming Tiguan Allspace it’s hard to understand how Volkswagen justify the price of the Passat when it’ll be the same price as a newer, and what feels like a better-equipped, stablemate.

How hard are discounts being driven at the moment and do we know anything more about a facelift?

Nope, every Golf 7 2.0 TDI sold in Australia as two pipes pointing straight out at the back, passenger side.

TDI's have downturned tips - you can't compare with a petrol engine vehicle. Diesel exhaust tips on passenger vehicles must be downward facing to meet ADR's.

Hmm, so weird combos do exist. Mine came with Adaptive Lane Guidance enabled from factory, I've checked a couple of other R-Line 206's and they only have the basic lane assist version that bumps you back into your lane.

No point to have ALG then too annoying.

no TJA here (ACC lines deactivate under 60kmh), but have ALG as default.

Yeah, I leave it turned off when I am in the city. It's useful on long country drives (I do a lot).

Hi all,

Has anyone here done a tune or chip to get rid of the lag in first gear. I test drove the new 206 R, but found the sluggishness from a standing start annoying coming from the V6. In fact after the test drive got back in mine and decided not to upgrade.

I understand turbo lag V NA, but with tuning can the sluggishness be removed?

Many thanks in advance.

Slightly left field answer, but have you tried a Golf R wagon? I test drove one before getting my Alltrack and was very impressed, zero lag. Also tested an Arteon and while I loved the looks, could never live with the lag.

There is a VCDS "Hack" where you tell it that you have an Audi engine and it fixes it, but it also stuffs up the TCS/LC system and it goes a bit funny. A throttle controller like a sprint booster will fix it. The lag is deliberate for some stupid reason.

I have had the Audi hack and the XDS to increased traction hack for about a month now and have not seen any dramas. I don't get much lag now (if any at all), but the car was a bit laggy before the hacks.

I thought it would use more fuel, however fuel economy seems to be slightly better with these hacks in place. I can't confirm or deny the delta in my driving styles though, before and after hacks.

Hi Wynnston,

How is driving the car without TCS? I am a bit worried about having that off.

DR074 did you do the hack? Has it disabled your TCS? Is it a simple 5 minute job just to plug in and change the code to Audi?

Thx
