Post by: olufsen on March 30, 2013, 09:53:50 pm: It was an optional extra approved by VW: http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/volkswagen/golf-r32-r/vw--abt-volkswagen-golf-r32-2007-370hp/1055228 - So probably not technically made by VW. Bet it's a belter though.

I remember this from years ago. If I recall correctly it is a k03 with a stage 1 map on it.

Post by: MC71 on March 30, 2013, 10:12:46 pm: As above, I read (somewhere) that it was K03 GTI with a map on it.

Cheers, not much sense in buying it over the ED30 or Pirelli then :stupid:

I disagree, as the one in the link should be one of the last mk 5's made and is from 08, ED30 being from 07 and 08

I thought I kept relatively in touch with the forum and VW world then 9 years after the MK5 was launched, I read these articles :grin: :chicken:

Post by: Mekaniko on June 10, 2021, 05:00:54 pm: Just uping this topic, the engine code for a Edition 240 should be a BWA?

Post by: pudding on June 11, 2021, 11:18:56 pm: No one knows but likely a BWA if it was a 2008 car.
