New 3.2 V6 Eos - Page 2

I've never driven a convertible TDI but they do seem to be growing in popularity. For me, I could only drive a petrol varient...surely a huge part of the fun is listening to the engine. I can't imagine a diesel could provide that essential ingredient.

We will have a 3.2 Eos here in the next fortnight, so i don't think supply will be an issue!

No selling up "R" included! Then buy a Left hand jobby. Now I don't know if this is an easy option but I was thinking of buying the car in Germany and perhaps driving back down to Spain in it. I have heard this could help me get more motor for my money possibly something like this

Fat Eos

Although the Eos is the wifes Idea lost interest when I found out the 3.2 was not a subsitute for the "R". But the link above might have changed my mind back.

I was very keen on getting one of these but after seeing it in the flesh I have gone for a GTi instead. It is a great car but a bit feminine for my liking. Perfect for the other-half (so you can steal it on sunny days [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img])

Dont bother going for a 2.0 EOS, they do nothing but leak. I have recently purchased a new EOS and have be plagued with water, water, water. Unless you want the car to double up as a swimming pool!!

Possilbe cause for leakage is if you've had Supagard/Lifeshine/Diamond Brite applied! Volkswagen dont recommend this as the chemical in the protection eats away at the roof seals and isnt covered under warranty!

Matt R · 14-10-2008, 01:34 PM

or just a design fault! you wouldn't be sticking up for them just cause you are a salesman

Not at all Matt, have heard of a few leakages but very rare on EOS to be honest.....unlike the Peugeot 206 cc, early models leaked like a sieve and even if seals were replaced they always leaked!!!!!

Matt R · 15-10-2008, 07:04 PM

Rare

I doubt it mate and by the way I work for VW just for clarity

Our bodyshop is on a different site, so thats why i havent seen many with leaks i guess!
