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,

  • Polo GTI RPM at 100kph?

    Could anyone advise approx rpm at 100kph in 6th gear (manual)?

    Also thoughts on the GTI for a return daily 150km commute (approx 125km of this is freeway/100kph).

    Cheers in advance.

    From memory, 2500rpm in 6th. You'll get around 6.3L/100km fuel consumption.

    I regularly do a Newcastle->Sydney->Newcastle day trip. It's a great car on the freeway albeit its talents are wasted on the dual carriageway. It's far more at home in the city and on twisty roads.

      2200rpm @103(my GTI's true 100km/h)

      It's a very fun car and you'll soon come to love your time in it, whilst it's a whole lot more fun in twisties, it's still very powerful so every traffic light and overtake is a new opportunity to lose your license.

          Thanks all.

          Tossing up Polo GTI vs Mk7 GTI.

          When are the next updates due? Any ideas?

            Polo 6C is only about a year old, so probably won't be updated for a while. Mk7 is getting a facelift this year.
