The chain doesn't need to come out unless there is a problem that I doubt there is :-). Chain should last the life of the car.

Don't trust anyone who does a top speed video and keeps it in top gear the whole time. These cars are good for 150mph+
@reallifeoffabianАй бұрын
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.

The resonator is actually genius. On my r32, I’ve got a full Miltek system “extremely high flow cats” + res and muffler. The resonator muffles the car well as long as you’re not more than 30-40% throttle. Pure VR6 bliss.

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

@dalemclachlan5 ай бұрын
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.
@reallifeoffabian6 ай бұрын
It actually "overheated" in 3rd gear at higher revs, before the top speed run happened :)

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.

these can be rather quick, perhaps your tester is not tuned well, perhaps you should try a 2007/2008 model with 306 hp and more torque. also, just an aside, it is not usually good for your gearbox to rest your hand on the shift. cheers

Leuk ding, maar je hebt een tce 180 had je even wat meer verdiept en zelf wat gesleuteld dan was die auto echt een hele leuke super sportieve auto geweest die ook nog eens goed klinkt, denk aan een downpipe, turbo upgrade, en denk aan schokdempers en veerpoten dan was het een totaal andere auto met 300pk

I've owned mine for 6 years and spent quite a lot to make it as near perfect as I can. Once everything is fixed up it is reliable, enjoyable to drive and not so expensive to maintain. Still I think older sporty cars like the R32 are best as a second or third car but not as an only car. Good luck with your next car.
