They probably meant the 2.5l 5 cyl R5 motor (T5s never came with a 6cyl motor - unfortunately). The current gossip is that the 2.5l will be replaced by a twin (sequential) turbo 2.0 TDI that has more power AND more torque than the current 2.5l R5 (which has 128Kw and 400Nm).

I keep forgetting about that engine

, mainly because so few people buy T5s with it fitted.

It is probably being phased out because VW didn't want to do the work necessary to get it past the latest emissions standards (hence the demise of the Golf R32), plus VW seem to be keen on going to smaller motors to improve fuel economy and reduced CO2.

just a few questions...

1. It looks like it was at Holden Performance Centre, Norwell?

2. NSW must be doing some stellar deals with VW/Skoda...

3. Any more shots of the Passat CC?
