CTHE engine? anyone know what to expect?

[gavs]

Yes, true, which came with revised power and torque figures so that would be classified as different, would it not? It also came with a different engine code as I understand it which changed in the 2002 update.

Cheers Gavs, so a little later than expected and not hugely interesting in that its evolution, not revolution (as expected).

Interesting... ages away then for any Oz Polo GTI buyers.

[gavs]

Yep, probably around 9-12 months.

[JonW]

LOL, well cars made in Sept will be here by the end of the year and bear in mind the MY13 GTI model is starting production in June (not long away now!), but I hear what Gavs is saying, they may not get round to the CTHE dead on that date, so we may see these in Aus quite a bit later...

[gavs]

Yes but good luck getting a rhd production run through for oz at the get go, there is reputation to uphold and do you really think a customer base the size of Australia wouldd warrant an early production run to try and gain back some credibility? Australia's yearly volume is comparable to be a month or two's worth of demand in Europe.
