geewhizz Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 I was told by a vw dealer that an R36 is on the cards for the new golf. probably won't be out until 2006 though; get a new GTI before then :-) its not confirmed but I'm pretty sure they will go ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TP27 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 The suggestion is a 3.2 litre FSi engine up to 270bhp for the MkV Golf as the 3.6 litre engine might be too big. The 3.6 litre lump appears to be heading for the Passat only and a R36 in the Passat shell might be the alternative..... Geneva next week will likely be the launch pad for a definite update from VW.

R32North Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Aye, never trust a dealer to tell you something about a car that doesn't yet exist, they have enough trouble telling you known facts about car on their own forecourt!!

Markallain Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 DD any idea when it will be available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTI_Boi Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 I've heard it will be jan next year. I've also heard it may be R34, presumably a 3.4 which I'm guessing is a new engine? Anyone know anything about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32North Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 I'm sure DD will be along soon to tell y'all that it will be a 3.2 V6 as per current R32! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tribs Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Are you sure you're not thinking of the Bora? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyDub Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Yeah I think he might be. The Bora is a Golf MK 4 with a boot. Also ETA on R32 still Nov/Dec in Germany and 3 months later in the UK so Feb/March 2006. I'll let you know when I have more of a fixed date for the UK launch.

DaddyDub Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Right, Ive spoken to my contact @ VW and they told me that the launch date for the MK5 R32 will be approx October this year with production starting the 3rd/4th week in August 2005. I'll let you know any more on production numbers etc when I have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TP27 Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Interesting.....they still cannot get the GTi out in time so this will be some triumph to get the production of the new R by August 2005. I still await a reply from VW to my letter asking when to expect the new R. Watch this space!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
