Anyone else who has a 2010 build checked their engine? I checked and my engine has a sticker on in stating a December 2009 buld. But in the boot it has the Janurary 2010 build.
I am not annoyed or pissed off in anyway that the engine is a 09 build as i understand they would have them already built and when a car is ordered they would just "grab one off the shelf" so to speak. Thats my opinion, could be wrong.

Just interested to see what year other's engine's are bult in.

Where did you find that sticker kenny? They probably built the engines first so that they can run them in before putting them into the cars?

i heard a rumour that 2009 build engines had 20 more kilowatts than 2010.

no wait, i think I started the rumour...

build plate and valuations go by the date the car was married together, ie the plate in the boot.. not the date each component was manufactured.

No I haven't checked...... but does that make it a 2009 or 2010 build? Do they go by the date in the boot... because I'm thinking along the same lines as Entice.
The car build date is ithe date that the car that is actually built - the engines are slotted in once the car (which may have been built in 2010) is on the production line.

Well yeah, that is what i think as well. In the boot it says built 3rd week of Jan 2010. So it is classed as 2010.
I was just wondering how many have the same in their car.

Woo hoo... picked up my car yesterday and it awesome!!!

I know for a fact that a number of years ago when I bought my WRX they actually ran the engine in for the equivalent of 100 hours and this alleviates the issue of having a service to replace the oil after 500 klm and beds the motor in. Not sure whether Golfs do the same as I could not find out when I bought my Mk5 GTI - but it would make sense with any performance engine for the manufacturer to do this. Did not have an issue with either the WRX or GTI motor from go to when I sold them - both awesome in their own right.

I hope I have the same run with the Mk6.
