CTHE engine? anyone know what to expect?

[prcurrie]

Haha, mine is due in same time, probably the same boat. Will have to call the dealer for an update, don't have a VIN or anything yet.

You should definitely have a VIN if it's on the boat and it's due here in a couple of weeks. I'd be asking that question or someone could be telling you porkies!

So with turbo only engine can we expect to see significant turbo lag? I love that there's almost no lag in the twincharge engine. The only lag comes from the DSG deciding what it wants to do

Thanks for that... much appreciated.
Hope to find out what car I am getting this week.

FWIW, I've purchased a MY13 car today, that just happened to be sitting in Auckland unsold. It's an Oryx White 5-door with bi-xenons, built 13 Dec, so I'm guessing it's not been in the country long. It's got the CTHE engine (all cars built since September have this new engine I believe). I'm surprised Volkswagen NZ would be spec buying a car with a $1500 special paint option, but it's a bonus for me, that's for sure. Paid NZ$38,000 drive away with a 3 year service plan included. List for a car of this spec is NZ $43,840, so I'm happy with the 13% discount. I pick up the car in Christchurch in 2 weeks.

Congrats on the purchase! I reckon you made the right choice, but then again I'm biased.

I'm thinkin....Oryx White = Candy White? and I'm biased as well

Oryx white is a premium white that's worth about £950 extra in the UK on a MK7 Golf
