Is a mk7 just a mk6 in drag??

Postby Croftylad » Fri Jan 04, 2013 10:02 pm

Hi can anyone tell me if the mechanicals on a mk7 are the same as the mk6? I know the bodies are the same apart from the front end and dash but are the oily bits the same?
thanks Antony

They're quite different beasts really, all new TDCi engines on the MK7, most Mk6 are TDDi 8)

Also gear selectors are different, wiring system is different, fuel system is different, rear brakes are different, FWD engines are different size,

Keys are different! As is twin battery setup, floor mat, and of course the rear lights!
