Mk 6 Golf.....New engines?

[saveferris]

I'm thinking of a buying a new Mk 6 Golf, I have read on another site that some of the engines in the new mk 6 Golf are going to be replaced, I really don't wan't to buy a new car and find out that 6 months later the engine will be obsolete.

Does anyone have any further information on what petrol or diesel engine are going to be replaced in the current Mk6 line up?

The engines in the VI are a new/revised set of engines - a 1.4 turbo, a 1.4 Twincharged. and a 2.0 diesel turbo. The GTI will have a 2.0 Turbo, and the GTD will have a 2.0 diesel turbo with more output than the base one.

They will not be superceded soon.

most of the current motors have been revised to meet euro V compliancy. they were only updated about 6 months ago.

For the Mk 6 GTI I expect the 2.0 TFSI (turbo petrol engine) to be the new version that has chain drive to the camshafts (but without the variable valve timing the Audi version gets). The US Mk V GTIs have been getting this engine for months.

I found this on another Mark 6 forum.... not sure if this relates to any of the current 1.4 TSI's

I think the engines being replaced are 1.4 (which we don't get) and 1.6 which has already been replaced in OZ by the 1.4TSI

A salesman at Austral VW in Brisbane told me toay, that we aren't getting the GTD 125Kw diesel............

Golf 6 in UK market have bigger selection of engines, a few of which are "older" and thus will be replaced in the near future. But the cars for the Australian market use newer, revised powerplants.
