oh ok, which VF code are VAG using in the engines. The Rex STI's use the VF35 to VF43 don't they?
The VF22 would be a good aftermarket option for the R20T...... they max out at about 400-450hp :D:D:D

This means the engine torque will have to be limited to 350nm in the DSG model, since that is the published maximum for the VW box.
The Nurgurgring Sciroccos were running only 350nm, so it's doubtful VW will deliver more in a production version of the car. I read somewhere that they have fed it 550nm reliably in a couple of test mules, and there are quite a few chipped cars running more than 350 with no apparent problems.
not to get too off topic, but the q5 uses a 7speed dsg with a 3.0 turbo diesel with 500nm stock.. so i'm guessing they have the next generation of dsg with higher torque handling capabilities.
i think i'd prefer an r20 scirocco. :rolleyes:
Yeah 3.0tdi Q5 has 7speed DSG and 500NM. The next gen DSG have been much improved and is much stronger.
This tech is now flowing through to base VWs as both the Mk6 Golf and the next Polo will have 7 speed DSGs available. FWD and transverse engines.
Very likely then will be available in the next GTI and in the R20T. Mine though will be a manual ........
My reasons for having ordered a R20T is ..... 2.0T and AWD in a VW body.
Scirrocco will not make it to OZ (and only has 4 seats). Will likely end up driving a 2.0T Tiguan (or a Q5) soon as a replacement for the wife's RAV4 whilst waiting for the R20T to arrive.

It's a completely different animal which is never likely to be in a VW car, since none of the current VWs can accommodate north-south engine. It's a shame, as the Selectronic is a beautiful design which is able to handle massive torque, much more than 500nm is possible.
The 7 speed dry clutch DSG that VW is now using was not flow-on tech from the Audi 7 speeder, either. Both were developed independantly, but of course sharing the twin clutch design. VW developed the 7 speeder for smaller engines and cars than the 6 speeder. It's a lot lighter and not as strong and loses the clutch oil supply and cooling circuits.
Here is a link to a good article with pictures of the new 7 speed S-Tronic. The 6 speed S-Tronic is much the same as the 6 speed VW DSG if not the same.

Thanks Gerhard, that makes it all much clearer, great info. Pity though .....
Q5 just climbed a notch on my estimation ladder .....
I spent a lot of time drooling over the Q5 at the show - my pick for the 1800kg beast is the V6 diesel (slightly detuned Touareg motor) but at $72000 it's a big ask when you can get the Touareg for $75000. Extra $3000 for a larger, dual range equipped vehicle? The Touareg would win for me here.Quote:

The wide ratio spread possible in the S-Tronic obviously enables a high ratio for highway cruising and a low 1-2 for launching in traffic, thus giving a good average consumption of 8.5. But I reckon it would be around the 11.0-12.0 around town.
Beautiful car, though. $59,900 for the 2.0 petrol or diesel, watch out if you tick any options :) I have the price and specification list in front of me. :eek:
71990 V6 Diesel
1900 Paint
1065 Electric Tailgate
760 Colour Coding
1915 Electric seats with memory and climate control
6200 Navigation system
83830 Phew !! Roll on Tattslotto :)
Did you get the on road price without any option?Quote:

How many people would actually spend that much on a navigation system !! ? Or does it include a great sound system with magic fingers and a guaranteed "happy ending" too ? :nana:Quote:
