Weight of VR6 Golf ?

[danp 0]

Any1 know what this is ?

Google ranges from 1155kg to 1300kg.

One article said 30kg more for the 5door.

Did VW give the figures at all ? (i.e. in a brochure or something?)

?!

Thx, dan.

They'll be in the hand book.

Handbook gives the Unladen weights as 1155kg for 2 door and 1180kg for 4 door, max permissable weight 1680kg. Basic model , automatic box adds 20-30kg, other things like aircon, sunroof , will increase it.

cheers for that, less than I thought, handy for the old power/wt calculation ;-)

even a hot Clio is pushing 1100kg these days, Civic Type R 1200kg, so an AMD remap with large throttle body would see them and Mini Cooper S's off nicely ;-)

(not got a handbook yet, hopefully get that with the car tomorrow)

oh, yeah, new cars weigh silly amounts.....but thats so they survive accidents well. don't crash into any new car, even a clio will seriously damage a mkIII golf (a friend had her driver driven into by a new clio, clio had a cracked headlamp and golf had whole rear end stoved in!)
