Golf R Observations and Questions

[SilvrFoxX]

Got to the bottom of that today, apparently I have a complimentary extended warranty provided through the dealship ( limited of course). As I went to another VW service centre and I didn't service within the appropriate time they have informed me that the extended Stealership warranty has been cancelled.. I figured that when I rang around that everyone else was $100 cheaper in servicing costs you were paying for the warranty anyway.. meh I have the 3 year factory warranty so only 2 years to go on that and then off to an independant

You should be allowed to be late 1month/1000km over for your 15,000km and 2 months/2000km over for your 30,000km service. Unless, they've changed the rules.

Stock ones arent really- but im guessing you managed to find a modified one.

Stock, the R33s aren't slow by any means ???

Had a quick look just to confirm specs and they are pretty quick

^ 1500 odd kg with 206kw and 360nm. Not much different to a stage 1 tuned Golf R really in terms of power, torque and weight.

Testing showed the factory power output to be closer to 243kw.

Yes, most of the real world times on stock R33s Ive seen (one first hand) they run sub 5 seconds and often mid 4's for 0-100 kph

Im an old fella so any thing in that area is fast for me

I am with you CM.. this one was modded, but damn it was right up my chuff at "80klms" and hour didn't get round me but not sure the opportunity was there. Havn't had anything provide that level of quickness since getting the R.. repesct
