Golf 6 1.6 with a conventional machine. What to expect from the used VW Golf VI

18.09.2020

VW Golf MK6, the car began to produce since 2009. Until January 2010, the car was collected in Russia, in addition to Germany. Because of the start of the production of the halfdan, the assembly is made only in Germany (and this is good!).

The most cheeky version in the Golf 6 R20 family of 256 hp and S. fully drive

Golf 6 Like the previous generation is built on the same database with Audi A3, Audi TT, well, there are all sorts of Skoda, Seat. The choice of the buyer is represented by a large range of motors, there are turbocharged gasoline engines, atmospheric engines, turbodiesel engines.

There are even all-wheel drive versions. By the way, 2-liter turbules do not suffer to unnecessary devouring motor oilUnlike Skod and Audi, where the engine design is a bit different. Transmissions are also a few options: 5st and 6st mechanics or robot 6-st. DSG automatic transmission and 7-st. DSG automatic transmission (came to replace 6st robot). According to the reviews of many owners, VAG never solved many problems with DSG, to this day many problems arise with this transmission, although the main trump card of this box is the most high characteristicsSo to speak for athletes perfectly suitable !! Unlike his classmates, Golf 6 is characterized by higher quality finishing materials and equipment (less oak plastic, well, the number of options will satisfy any), probably with the exception of BMW a penny, but the price is inadequate.

The shortcomings of GOLF 6 will be presented below:

1. For large holes in the lower part of the bumper, with intensive operation over time, the cell of the radiator may be damaged, as many pebbles flies there. The problem is solved by jamming the aluminum grid (details are described in profile forums). The grid will take the whole blow to yourself!

2. Solutions on the paintwork appear after a year of permanent operation. In order of ecology, acrylic paints on a water basis are used and the paint layer itself is very thin. The thresholds are painted anti-gravine paint without prior applying soil, right on top of metal. Although, if you compare with Japanese brands, then where it did not go. But still there are specimens with good quality Painting, but such little.

3. Therapins on the glasses at the first period of operation. The reason is the priority towards passive security, so there is no need to clean the plastic scraper lobby glass. As a solution option, you can try to put wipers with softer rubber. Although it does not particularly help, you can still put non-original glass, but questions may arise from some buyers.

4. Problems with a driver's door lock. At low temperatures, the castle of the driver's door begins to eat. It is not always possible to open from the key fob, so you have to open directly ...

"I have a limited budget, you need a car for the city and once a week per city, only passengers. We consider GOLF 2008-2011, hatchback or wagon, gasoline. Interested economical engine, Box "AUTOMATIC" with smaller problems and suspension. "

If you focus on the years of release, it is about. It is a further evolutionary development of the fifth generation model, based on the PQ35 platform, and differs fundamentally from it. Sometimes you can hear the view that the "sixth" Golf is a deep restyling "fifth", especially since Volkswagen periodically resorts to such measures (remember Passat III and IV, as well as VI and VII). Although, strictly speaking, Golf V and Golf VI is different cars With a rather impressive list of differences. But from the point of view of reliability, the buyer of the Used "Sixth" only wins.

For example, it is believed that steering It is rushing here than the predecessor. The steepness of the suspension seems to have not changed, but it is so good, although the cost of the "original" can not be called low. This is what to avoid, it is the adaptive DCC suspension (Adaptive Chassis Control), the details of which are never cheap. The remaining suspension options (standard and sports) are quite accessible in the content.

With gearboxes, everything is simple. Need reliability - give preference "mechanics". With atmospheric motors there was a 5-speed, with a turbocharged - 6-speed. These units are far from being perfect (with age is possible wear of shaft bearings, differentials, but much cheaper in repair than "Robots" DSG, which was equipped with the sixth generation cars.

The relatively trouble-free 6-speed DSG (DQ250) with wet clutches was equipped with only powerful versions, and the rest of the 7-speed "robot" DQ200 got others. Rods when switching, or even completely malfunctions, the inability to solve the problem is only adjustable during runs 40-50 thousand km led to the replacement of the clutch, hydroblock, and the whole unit assembly.

Since 2009, the box has been repeatedly modernized: changed firmware, changes in the design of the clutch node and the gear selection mechanism. It is believed that since 2012, DQ200 from most problems is delivered, although the lifetime of the clutch (about 150 thousand km with gentle operation) means that over time, the case is not limited to the oil substitution alone. And in general, among the other DSG, this is not the best option.

Similar history with motors. You need the option is more reliable and cheaper in repair / maintenance - give preference to "chil", but simple and maintainable "atmospheric". Even 80-strong 1.4 MPI (CGGA) comes down, although 102-strong 1.6 (BSE / BSF / CCSA) looks more optimal. This 8-valve motor is unlikely to please the dynamics and fuel efficiency, but it does not have serious shortcomings. Although with age can "please" leaks of oil through the glands, problems with the crankcase ventilation system, unstable work Due to the air supply in the inlet or "overgrown" mud throttle valve. After 150 thousand km, the oil "appetite" may appear due to the stabbed piston rings. But all these "sores" masters are well known and easily eliminated.

Purchase of motors close by Motors 1.2 TSI (CBZA at 86 hp and CBZB per 105 hp) It is unlikely to make sense: the return is almost the same, potential issues more, the cost of solving them is higher. In the pros, only smaller fuel consumption, and in the minuses - stretching the timing chain, premature failure of the turbine, problems with the fuel system, primarily with the pump. If and take old car With 1.2 TSI, then after careful diagnostics, and this is largely a lottery. You can improve the chances by taking a late version of the Motor since 2011 or knowing that the engine questions in this instance are eliminated.

However, Motors 1.4 TSI reputation is even worse! Cases of the chain have been added to the problems with stretching the chain, and most importantly - the destruction of the pistons! Motors were thoroughly finalized ... However, 122-strong SAH engines are still quite reliable, but 160-strong Cavds with a combined superior (compressor providing craving on low revolutions, and a turbine that gives the pick-up at high) and more difficult, and a capricious. It is better to give preference to a simpler 1.8 TSI similar power.

Of course, all of the above does not mean that the TSI motors and the "robots" DSG - evil, from which you should stay away. Many owners ride cars with these units not one year and do not face problems, but they enjoy the dynamics and fuel economy. Say, 122-strong 1.4 TSI and 6-speed "mechanics" can be a good choice. And yet the technical complexity of these motors and boxes, as well as more high price Repair compared to traditional counterparts require at least very careful selection and qualitative diagnosis of such cars.

Pulse prices

As the analysis shows, for 2008-2009. They ask for an average of 7500 to $ 8000, cars 2009-2012. cost from $ 8500 to $ 10.500, although there are more expensive sentences. For example, the GTI version is estimated at $ 12.500 and even more! But the bulk of cars with petrol engines It has 1.4 TSI under the hood, but 1.6 MPI and 1.2 TSI are equally rarely found. But cars with "mechanics" much more than with DSG, ratio of approximately 3: 4!

In our previous material dedicated to the Used VW Golf VI, we conducted the first acquaintance with this model, told about its position in the C-class, the design features and the specifics of the Ukrainian market related to it.

Our today's article is more solid - to prepare it we went to the company's hundred Volkswagen, in order to ask specialists who face this car every day, about all its main pluses and sores. So, what we managed to learn ...

Body

As the domestic operating experience showed, the corrosion resistance of used golf 6 comments does not cause. Even in places of chipping, metal paint for a long time resists the appearance of red-haired disease. The important advantages of this model should also include high security - according to the results of EURONCAP 2009 crash tests, she won the maximum 5 stars.

There are no special claims to the state of body details. Of characteristic problems It should be mentioned only about the failure of the trunk lid lock. This may occur for two reasons. The first - it ceases to be fixed over time due to wear, the second is due to the fact that the nozzle of the filing fluid to the rear "janitor" flies and at the same time fills the inside of the rear door and actually the castle, which safely displays it. However, as a rule, this happens due to the fault of the unlucky owners who do not poured the winter "Omeavik" on time, and during frosts the nozzle freezes and the pressure of pressure breaks down from its place.

Among the four options for Golf VI bodies in Ukraine, 5-door hatchbacks received the greatest distribution. A little less often found on our roads more practical 5-door universals Variant. The rare modifications should include the hatchbacks in the 3-door version, but the elegant Golf Cabrio convertibles generally refer to the discharge of exotic.

In addition, version owners with headlight washer often complain about increased flow liquids (see photo " Weak spots»).

Salon

Plastic trim Torpedo VW Golf VI is soft and pleasant to the touch, the remaining plastic parts are rigid, but at the same time silent. Finishing materials are distinguished by high wear resistance and confidently withstand the time test. Noise insulation is good, and the doors are closed with noble muted cotton. No complaints and visibility. Seats even in basic versions are characterized by good lateral support.

In general, the Golf VI interior looks expressive and solid than the predecessor. Protect such perception of neat design strokes in the form of chrome edging of a number of parts of the cabin. "Charged" versions of GT, GTI and GTD decorate aluminum pads on pedals and branded cellular seats. As before, all Golf 6 is performed well and qualitatively. All the little things are detailed in detail, and ergonomics - exemplary.

Recall that Golf 6 is built on the same PQ35 platform, which underlies its predecessor, thanks to this, the technically machines are similar. Since the VW Golf VI wheelbase has not changed (constitutes all the same 2578 mm), respectively, the interior layout also remained the same, as well as the space inside.

The whole truth about used VW Golf VI

March 23, 2018, 17:00

The stock of the rear passengers is sufficient - the tall person will be easily swept behind him and his knees will not rest in the back of the front chairs! Threesomes on the gallery will be able to normally accommodate three people of the middle set, and the comfortable atmosphere here creates separate blowing deflectors placed on the box between the front seats.

Remarks to the ergonomics "Gallery" Golf VI are already traditional for many VW - the central body tunnel is too massive (tall and wide), therefore the passenger, asked in the midst, has to be crowned in the legs of its neighbors sitting on the sides.

This model has always been famous for its practicality. It is not an exception and sixth generation - it is convenient for the transport of passengers and various luggage. In this case, the march of the cargo compartment of the etchbeks is average compared to competitors - 350 l, against, for example, 340 liters of Mazda 3, 355 liters Toyota Auris. and 365 liters Ford Focus, the same alignment of the forces is preserved and with a folded rear seats - 1305 l against 1150 liters of Focus, 1335 l in 1335 l at the Auris and 1360 L at the Troika. The functionality of the use of the freight compartment increases the wide and correct shape of the loading opening (1270 mm), a low loading threshold of the compartment, flat and not strongly protruding niches of the wheeled arches and an almost smooth cargo platform with a folded rear seats, a little rising in the back area.

The total PQ35 platform affected the internal space Golf VI - for the capacity of the luggage compartment, as well as the interior, is completely similar to its predecessor. If you compare the numbers of freight compartments, it turns out - they have a middle "six" compared to competitors. Those who often have to use a broad compartment and who are important liters of its volume we advise you to pay attention to more functional versions with the body of the universal.

But the wagon VW Golf VI Variant will clearly like the economic motorists - it is endowed with very roomy luggage compartmentwhich in its volume in a hiking state is one of the largest among competitors - 505 l against 485 liters Renault Megane Tourer and 490 liters of Ford Focus Estate.

Test Drive

Volkswagen Golf VI: Differences for decency

True, at the maximum volume in 1495 liters loses them - 1515 liters of Focus and 1600 liters at Megane. This is due to constructive features The transformation of the rear seats - the pillows in Golf 6 rise to the backs of the front chairs and thus "eat" useful lithors of volume. True, due to such a scheme, a perfectly smooth cargo platform is provided, which is far from all competitors.

Suspension VW Golf VI

Since Golf 6 is built on the PQ35 platform, the designers, without being causing a sly, equipped his chassis from the predecessor. So, ahead of the hero of our material also applies an independent McPherson, and behind the "multi-dimensional". Both axes have a stabilizer transverse stability. In general, a serviceable suspension is messed up and perfectly copes with many irregularities of our roads, giving up to their pass to the salon with deaf slaps of tires. Promotes good ride qualities and an informative steering, equipped with an electric amplifier, changing the degree of amplification, depending on the speed of movement.

The adaptive DCC suspension at VW Golf VI has three modes of operation: "Sport", "normal" and "comfortable", which can be selected using a button installed near the KP lever.

The only difference is different from the predecessor - in the VW Golf VI, for the first time, the adaptive suspension (DCC) of the first generation began to be offered, which allows changing the rigidity of the shock absorbers. However, the versions with DCC officially not supplied to Ukraine, it is infrequently visiting it on the copies fitted from abroad, so that the servicemen advised us could not be able to tell us about the features of adaptive suspension.

In general, the standard Golf 6 suspension is tested by time and has proven itself rather durable. So, in front of the fastest (after 80 thousand km), the rear silent blocks of the front levers wear out, while the stabilizer racks can hold out about 100 thousand km, and the front silent blocks - up to 140 thousand km. The bushings of the stabilizer "go" much longer and they are rarely changing - this is not cheap pleasure, as they change only assembled with the stabilizer. The resource of the ball supports is under 200 thousand km.

Thanks to the independent design, the running golf 6 is endowed with excellent chain, thanks to which it is actively on this model - one pleasure!

In the rear "multi-dimensioner" to run in 100 thousand km may require replacement of the bushings and the stabilizer racks (varied separately from it) and bumps rear shock absorbers. To 120-150 thousand km wears the "rubber bands" of the rear breakdown levers ( original parts Assembly - about 450 UAH). But the silent blocks of the rest rear levers able to withstand mileage under 200 thousand km. Wheel bearings are also served for a long time, but when the time of their replacement will have to get up - they change only assembled with the hubs (both branded and non-original).

There is no VW Golf VI and claims for the reliability of the rush steering. This node was upgraded by the end of the production of the fifth generation model (there was no longer the launch of the engagement of the rail and the electric motor) and the hero of the material he no longer causes complaints. In principle, you can also say about brake system. On our roads, the tips of the steering is capable of "run" 100-150 thousand km, and the traction themselves are even longer.

But the engines and gearboxes Golf 6 are able to prevent its owners serious problems. True, this applies not to all the units that this model came acted. What kind of modifications it is worthwhile to bypass, on which it is still worth paying your attention - read in our separate material.

Summary "AC"

VW Golf VI deservedly won the honorary title in the distance best car in the world. At the time of his presentation, he was the most advanced, and not only in his class - it introduced many modern for the time of the design developments of VW engineers for that time. However, in practice, some of these technologies were not quite reliable and delivered frequent trouble owners. True, talk about it next time.

Like all previous generations of Golf 6 is a practical and functional car endowed with excellent side qualities. True, all these advantages will have to overpay - used VW Golf VI is more expensive than many of his competitors.

Results "AC"

Body and Salon 4 Stars

Wide offer on secondary market. Good preservation of residual cost. Corrosion resistance. High security. In the market there are often functional versions with a wagon body. Good Salon and High Wear Resistance to His Out. Good noise insulation and visibility. Good rear seat stock. The presence of separate blowing deflectors for the rear passengers. Functional and spacious trunk.

- Announced the failure of the trunk cover. Increased fluid flow at versions with headlight washer. The massive central tunnel of the floor prevents the passenger's legs sitting on rear seat In the middle.

Chassis and steering 5 stars

A shot down pendant works well with many irregularities of our roads and gives a high-resistant car. Informative steering provides good handling. In general, the suspension is quite durable. Reliable steering and high resource of its consumables. Single brakes.

- The cost of repairing suspensions increases the replacement of the wheel bearings along with the hubs.

Weak spots

Vehicle owners with headlight washer often complain of increased fluid flow. This objective fact and some cope with this feature very radically - pulling out the appropriate electrical hardenser (No. 36, 20 A, yellow color).

In the front suspension, Golf 6 is faster (after 80 thousand km), the rear silent blocks of the front levers are wearing, and the remaining consumables are kept much longer.

From the body parts VW Golf Vi, it is possible to disturbantly be able to disturb the trunk cover (concerns as hatchbacks, so the station wagon).

1.6-liter atmospheric 8-valve (!) BSE / BSF / CCSA motor for 102 forces with distributed injection is the perfect option for those who do not rush anywhere. Power is not enough, of course, but for the C-class machine will go for a slow ride. Especially since the potential mileage until overhaul - under 500 thousand. In the plot valves, hydrocompensators, the timing belt serves on the regulations of 90 thousand, but it will be worth a little to cut the interval.
- 1.4-liter atmospheric (80 hp) CGGA - from the same opera, though the GBC is a 16-valve here, which complicates a little and increases the cost of service. For golf, the choice of dubious due to the very modest return. The timing belt is also a belt with the same interval, the thermal gap in the valves is also regulated by the hydrocompensators, the injection is also distributed and reliable.
- Motors 1.2 TSI CBZA / CBZB are especially bad until 2011, when the design of a very long-stray drive was changed, where the chain could already stretch to 30 thousand mileage. The turbine the first years also served less than 100 thousand, then it was finalized, but still the resource is obtained in the region of 160-180 thousand. And even if the car after 2011, the pump remains with the nozzles and the crooking of the piston rings. All this, again, on runs closer to 150.
- 1.4 TSI (122 hp CAXA) EA111 series has a less problematic GDM drive (and yet the chain can be stretched by thousands to 100-120), a stronger turbine, about the same fuel equipment, but noticeably less successful than on 1.2 TSI, a piston group that is not only actively cocking, but the pistons are also happening. Basically - due to overheating due to the death of the intercoral, pump or just a scored radiator.
- higher 1.4 TSI (160 hp, CNWA, CTHD, CTKA, CAVD) in addition to all the problems of 122-strong Caxa have a problem with early wear of the crankshaft liners. The system of double supervision with the turbine and the drive compressor did not deliver the first years, but the complexity is high, so that the years to 10 and thousands closer to 180-200 can be expected and in this part too.
- Motors 1.8 (CDAA) and 2.0 TSI (CCZB, CDLG) - EA888 series. A set of problems is similar to the younger motors - Mousetling piston group, vulnerable system direct injection, Timing rates with a chain service life in the region of 100 thousand. The problems of the 888th series were cured by 2013-2014, when the sixth golf was no longer released.
- General recommendation for all gasoline turbomotors: Careful diagnostics when buying (preferably with a dealership scanner, endoscope and face test), and during operation - abbreviated up to 10 thousand intervals and high-quality oil (preferably oxo and not too liquid, 5W50 in the most time).
- Diesels 1.6 TDI (CayC) 2.0 TDI (CBDC, CBAA, CBAB) - all variety of EA189 line with Common Rail injection. We have these motors well know in the trade winds, but there are few golf in Russia. There are typically diesel difficulties like the need to clean the EGR valve and deal with the scored summer filterBut the power system has every chance to hold out to 200 thousand. From the unexpected weak points 2.0 TDI - the wear of the oil pump drive, which lives 140-200 thousand. Specify whether it was changed if the machine is running.

And not at all new model. But used Golf buyers this fact should not disturb. Time-tested design was supplemented with advanced technologies.

If the body golf 5 looked slightly swelling and had rounded shapes, then the sixth generation looks more filigree and elegant. Good daily practicality did not suffer: dimensions and capacity indoor space remained almost the same. Among the most important changes in comparison with the predecessor, it is worth noting not only the use of more high-quality materials when finishing the interior, but also the appearance of a knee airbag and additional systems Aid.

The car was produced in three body versions: three and five-door hatchback, as well as a convertible. In addition, there were versions in the body of a wagon and an enlarged family version Golf Plus. These two models did not receive many technically innovations that went to the sixth generation. All that they combined with an updated golf - body design.

After moving from the fifth to the sixth generation, Golf began to be equipped better. Air conditioning and seventh airbag entered the list of serial equipment. Nevertheless, the initial set of "Trendline" is staffed quite poorly. Therefore, choosing a used car, it is better to consider golf, starting with the complete set of "ComfortLine", equipped with an audio system, the best seats and parking sensors in front and rear. Special versions "Team", "STYLE", "MATCH" and "MOVE" are well equipped and stylishly decorated.

In 2008, security was appreciated by five stars. After a year, after changing the test methodology, Golf 6 confirmed the result by another full set of five stars.

Engines

The saturated line of engines provides a wide choice. For five years of production, 20 items of different engines appeared on the list, incl. and their modifications. The power range lies in the range from 80 to 270 hp So everyone can choose a car with optimal characteristics.

The most unpretentious and reliable power unit - gasoline 1,4-liter atmospheric with a capacity of 80 hp However, it is quite weak, but it does not require a lot of fuel. Decent reliability demonstrates 8-valve 1.6.

A 1,4-liter 122-strong turbo engine is significantly cheerful and at the same time consumes not much more than gasoline. Perhaps this is the most practical and universal engine.

For large runs, 1,6-liter 105-strong turbodiesel is suitable for large, which consumes a little less than 5 liters of diesel fuel per 100 km.

Those who are more important driving pleasure than fuel consumption is worth paying attention to the 235-strong version of GTI.

Motors TSI 1.2, 1.4 and 2.0 suffer from chain problems, chain tensioner and inlet regulator distribution Vala. In the launched cases, any of the defects can lead to serious engine damage. Volkswagen was aware of the problems, conducted a number of refinement and kindly eliminated the malfunctions in warranty vehicles. Of course, preferably copies with improved modifications. It is known that sometimes the defects were eliminated preventively, in the quiet - in the process of planned maintenance. If after starting the cold engine, an extraneous noise (crack) is heard, or the engine control lamp lights up, it means that this car It should be avoided.

The exhaustion of the timing chain is not the only thing that bothers the owners of cars with 1.2 TSI. Frequent transition B. emergency mode It was caused by a faulty carrier servomotor of the turbocompressor bypass. The turbocharger was supplied by IHI campaign, and the bypass walked with him assembly and was not offered separately.

An unpleasant surprise has become an increase in the oil level, which was happening in the initial production period. It was diluted with gasoline. Later, the software was updated several times. Several engines were replaced by the manufacturer under warranty due to the loss of compression in one of the cylinders. As reported, poor-quality valves were to blame.

In 1.4 TSI Twincharge (with double supervision) there were problems with a turbocharger. Later, the software was changed and the gasket was added under the bypass valve.

Another trouble 1.4 TSI Twincharge - high oil consumption. The reason could be the dried ventilation system of crankcase gases. If the engine started to consume oil and at the same time Troil (worked on three cylinders), then it usually pointed to the destruction of one of the pistons.

High oil consumption was characteristic of 2.0 TSI. The reason was in the structural miscalculation of the piston and piston rings. Later, the modified pistons appeared. Since they had an increased diameter of the piston finger, the rods were subject to replacement.

In 2.0 TSI of the older generation EA 113 (version of the GTI "EDITION" and R) sometimes burned valves. This was usually occurring with a long-term operation of 95 gasoline. Motor is vital only to the 98th.

At the time of launching Golf MK6 had two options for diesel 2.0 TDI - 110 hp. and 140 hp In 2009, a 170-strong modification appeared.

A weaker 110-strong version is distinguished by the absence of a balancing shaft module. In the past, the Balancir module laid many engines due to wear of a tiny hexagonal shaft, which led the oil pump. However, in the golf, this problem has already been solved, since in 2008 the manufacturer increased the shaft and began to make it from more durable materials.

All turbo diesel engines had a Common Rail injection system. Initially 2.0 TDI equipped with piezoelectric nozzles. But there were versions and electromagnetic nozzles. It all depends on the year of release and engine code. Nozzles are sensitive to fuel quality, and piezoelectric is more expensive than electromagnetic.

One of the common defects is associated with the recycling valve exhaust gases AGR (the same as EGR, only in German). Once a snoring mechanism for controlling the valve started to dine, which led to the servo motor.

Another fault is the cracks in the fuel line of the 2-liter diesel engines of the first years of release.

Since 2009, 1.6 TDI has become available, similar in its design with a 2-liter turbodiesel. Therefore, they, for some exception, have similar problems and malfunctions. IN fuel system 1.6 TDI used only electromagnetic nozzles.

All turbo diesel engines have a timing belt drive. According to the prescription VW, the toothed belt should be updated - in the case of 1.6 TDI after 180,000 km, and in the case of 2.0 TDI after 210,000 km. Together with it, it is necessary to replace the tensioner. In practice, the replacement interval is better to reduce twice.

The belt is driven and the cooling system pump. Usually the pump does not stand for a long time and starts to flow.

Sometimes kills the belt tensioner attached units. At best, battery charging will be disappeared. But, unfortunately, more disastrous scenarios are known. Flat belt can burst and get under the timing belt. This, in turn, can lead to a meeting of valves with pistons.

Transmission

Sometimes, foreign sounds, well-hearing outside, begins to publish dSG box. But, as a rule, it is more aesthetic problem than functional. The robot needs regular adaptation of the clutch (clutch threshold settings), otherwise the clutch discs will wear too fast.

Some versions of S. diesel engines (1.6 TDI and 2.0 TDI), including the Top model Golf R, were equipped with a 4motion full drive system. None of the hatchbacks in the compact class can boast of this. It is noteworthy that golf offered a permanent four-generation from the second generation. In the sixth generation, the transmission has become available only since 2009. While the standard versions with 1.6 TDI have a 5-speed manual transmission, a 6-speed box became available in combination with a full drive.

Four-wheel drive implemented using multi-disc haldex couplings fourth generation with electro-hydraulic drive. Coupling Haldex is quite reliable. The main thing is to update it liquid Every 40-60 thousand km. Haldex oil must correspond to the VW G 060 175 A2 specification.

Chassis

From the very beginning, the sixth generation offered four versions of the suspension. In addition to the standard, reinforced, sports and adaptive are available. The latter, with the ACC adjustable stiffness shock absorbers, had three modes: comfortable, standard and sports.

The truth is that the usual suspension provides the most optimal compromise between comfort and maneuverability. ASS shock absorbers should be left for sports versions. Classic shock absorbers are able to live to 200,000 km. The service life of adaptive is two times less, and they are twice as expensive.

The levers on the front axle were also different. The very first samples were completed with aluminum, borrowed from the fifth generation. However, in the process of production, they gradually replaced with levers from sheet metal. Everything depended on the motor.
