      that's just BS. This car wont get close to 150mph without a tune. As you can see at the end, the car didnt like being revved out in lower gears, so I had to choose a higher gear. Didn't matter for the top speed though.

    sorry you sold your R32 but understand the draw backs maintenance wise. My 2004 R32 had over 25k spent on it prior to buying including timing chain new clutch etc and also included upgrades new alloys, tyres, coil overs and he also threw in spare rotors and pads. the only money i have spent on it is getting the rear adjustable camber arms certified so i guess is how well the previous owner has maintained it. I watched your Scorpion non resonated video and have the same on my car and yes you do get the drone but it doesnt bother me and yes does suck up the gas but i love it

  • @dalemclachlan
    @dalemclachlan 8 місяців тому

    If they are serviced properly & you are prepared to do some jobs yourself then they are affordable. They drink more than a thirsty Irishman as far as fuel goes & for me the biggest fault with the R32 is that the 6th Gear (Manual or DSG) should be taller for economy on the highway or they should have had 7 gears. I have a 06 Manual with sunroof, Recaro's & 90Kms on the clock. It costs a bit more than something dull but Im happy to pay for it as it still makes me smile everytime I drive it. I definitely am holding onto mine.

    In the 5 speed it's best to stretch the 4th gear as much as possible. You can top 4th at 202KM/h. In 5th, you're pretty much lugging the engine due to shitty gear ratios, therefore overheating, which is what happened here.

    Still remains one of the most iconic and best volkswagen cars ever. But honestly, if you know a few people and read in about maintaining the car, then you perhaps wouldn't need to sell it. The brakes.. you can buy better brakes, (upgrade) for a few hundred euros. Chain revision is costly, but it is always costly to revise them. Then again the skoda vrs is also good value for money. Faster, better mileage, more options and space.
