VW Golf 6 TSI 1.4 DSG (122bhp) 0-215 km acceleration

[lupul10]

5000 RPM at 200 kph.Is this 5th gear?

I'm asking because I know that the new VW gearboxes (eighter 5 or 6,manual or auto) have very long gear ratios,and are doing about 120 kph at 3000 revs in 5th.I guess 6th should be even much longer.

@lupul10 This is a DSG 7 speed. It's doing 200 in 6th, I did not bother going to 7th since it's more of an overdrive and i ran out of open highway :). The selected gear is displayed in the top right corner of the MFD (onboard computer)

@lupul10 is your brain so slow that you can't count the gear changes? o.O?? LOL

[assailant85]

more than 215km/h with winter tires and over 10 °C? Plus with less than 3000km on your car ? dude!!

[limitznl]

@assailant85 Hahaha, lol. Nah i just forgot to change the setting for the wintertires. It's running on normal ones, and the 2550km is the trip meter, the car has got about 75000km now.

@limitznl thank god :) gotta take care of such a nice car!

pizdobol 215?

[MrNial15]

My cousin has one has the same car but were in England so it is mph and he said it can reach up to 135mph max

These cars are amazing !!

I've got the 122hp, our top speed varies between 210-220, so I believe the road is straight and not downhill :).

[elbrazza85]

nice upload. Where you driving downhill, or just on a straight road? The car isn't chipped right? 215 km/h is more than the statistics tells us from the the factory...

Im not sure which car i should order... the 1.4 tsi 122 hp or the 160 hp. I'm a little bit unsure about the 160 hp version because a lot of people got problems with the engine.... is this a lot better with the 122 hp version? Any complaints?

[limitznl]

@elbrazza85 No, it's not chipped, and there are 2 things at play here, first of all the VW specs are always conservative, second of all the actual speed is always a bit lower than what the speedo is showing. This was a flat road, under ideal circumstances. Uphill or heavy headwind will make the speed drop to 190 or so. I can't say whether the 160 hp version is better or not, i never drove it. I did have some engine troubles, but all it needed was a chip firmware upgrade. It's common but easy fix

@limitznl 160 hp version is a lot faster than the 122 hp... check out my videos, i also have revo stage 1 software, and it accelerates faster than golf gti :)

[limitznl]

@lordoftheriffs79 I'm sure it is :) unfortunately i didn't have much of a choice with this one, 30K euro with moderate options (Netherlands) was already pushing my price range when i got it. But when you can pick between this Golf and an Astra, it's not a tough choice to make.

I do have an offer laying around for the GTI but need to save up a few months more, maybe i'll get it after the winter :D

@elbrazza85 my friend you should opt fr the 160hp is by far better than the 122hp..additionally, at car industries they test their cars while the have 0km so when a car has achieved 2500km for instance it performs much better so it has higher top speed and accelerations

[mrhaty0]

@dragonballzsogokou That version is the one with the most problems actually, plus it's only a little faster in the lower rmp's because of the compressor. 122pk version is easily chipped to 160 hp anyway.
