Golf 6 sports pack

[hoi polloi]

[QUOTE=riffraff;960653I'm in Brisbane, with lots of pot holes and poor quality roads and it seems to handle them well, although for sure a slightly higher ride would be smoother.[/QUOTE]

Honestly, Brisbane's roads are billiard table smooth compared to the rubbish we have in Sydney (especially in the inner western suburbs where they just get munched up by the trucks)... Have the sports pack but doesn't become too bothersome.. As one earlier poster said the seats do make up for it...

seems to be some "interesting" information in this thread. I've got a 2009 118TSI with a sports pack, I definitely don't have 19in rims and pretty sure the brake discs are not larger either. the DBA catalouge lists the 70/90/103&118 all as the having the same model disc as replacement(280mm or 288mm) and the GTI and R as both different again.

The auto dipping mirror "kerb" function I do have, but so does my work colleague on her comfortline without a sports pack. Fairly sure it was a comfortline feature (ie: not 77 and 90) along with dual zone climate control.

the latest Golf VI brochure - which i've downloaded to help remind me of what I have to now sell it - mentioned nothing of the sort either.

From the brochure....

• Alloy wheels (Seattle) 17x7" with 225/45 R17 tyres (4)
• Dark tinted rear side windows and rear window, 65% light absorbing
• Front fog lights with static cornering light function, mounted in lower bumper
• Front sports seats with sports cloth trim
• Low tyre pressure indicator
• Sports suspension

can confirm my car has all of these.

oh, and as far as ride is concerned, it's fantastic. I have DCC on mine as well, but even when turned off, the ride is far from too harsh and handles with much more surety than stock.

the wider wheels/tyres also help a hell of a lot with traction. anytime i've had a loan car (with normal size tyres) the amount the TCS kicks in, especially in the wet, in very noticeable.

I can tell you the front brakes on a sports pack Golf are 312mm diameter as found on a GTI.

I should know, I changed mine out to DBA slotted. If I didn't measure them I would have been sent 288mm as listed in the catalouge.

interesting to know I likley have better brakes then! althought considering mine is for sale now, unlikely it will become my problem!)

thanks for confirming. good to hear information from people that have actually checked, owned, seen etc as opposed to "heard it on the internet" opinions based on air.

oh, and someone should tell DBA! (

This feature comes as part of the Park Assist feature, except on a Golf R where it is standard.

The latest brochure definitely agrees with you. Pretty sure my friend at work doesn't have park assist however (she may amd might not realise though....)
