R32 question

[Wormrider]

Was the 2004 R32 in Europe available with a DSG transmission?

I'm trying to settle a bet.

TIA

As far as I can remeber back to 2004, it was only available in manual
6-speed option form. The only performance model back then available in Automatic form was the V5.

I hope this helps

Nope, absolutely not. The 2004 R32 was the Mk4 variant. The first R32 to get DSG was the 2006 Mk5 variant.

Well I read your link again and it turns out that in 2003 the MKIV did have a DSG option.

Hmmm - I think you may have misread it! If this linky http://translate.google.com/translat...language_tools was what you were looking at, the data fields for the DSG are blank.

Like I said in my earlier post, the Mk4 R32 (nor any Mk4 Golf) ever had DSG fitted, certainly not in the UK anyhow! Another linky for you http://www.uk-mkivs.net/ who might be able to confirm.

You may be right about the UK as I have no way to verify it. However, using the link you sent me if you first select history for Golf 4 and then select R32 at Aug 2002 you will see that in 2003 the DSG was available. Very confusing for sure.

Hmmm . . . I see. But if you look at the bottom line of the External equipment block, you see the line "R32 with DSG not as 4-Türer available". As 4-Türer doesn't translate in either Google or Babelfish, I think it may 4-Motion - the way I see that - if you get an R32 without 4-Motion, then it aint an R32!

That is perhaps why some sites list the R32 with DSG, but you never actually saw any in the flesh, and why the data fields in the other link are blank - 'cause no-one wanted them!

4-Türer = 4 doors
