Facelift 2.0 V6?

neilb740 · 7th April 2015, 10:43

When was the 2.0 V6 discontinued?

I don't think I have ever seen a facelift 2.0 before.

This one looks nice, no leather though

It does and half a litre but only 10bhp less than a 2.5?

neilb740 · 7th April 2015, 11:01

148bhp is right for the 2.0 I think.

the 2.5 is 177bhp isn't it

, so 29bhp less

Had it in my head 160 bhp in the 2.5 auto but having a moment I think!

Looks nice though

I know the 2.0 V6 isn't a popular engine option. Down on power, not much better on fuel than 2.5 etc, but that doesn't bother me to much as most of my driving is round town and I only do about 4k a year!

Really need to start seriously thinking about changing to an auto for the Mrs to drive.

Just wondering if this is an oddball car as I thought the 2.0 V6 had been phased out by the time this one was made

Yes it is. I would suggest Reebs would know more, but I believe the engine was phased out before the mk2, as I've never seen another!

The 2.0 V6 was a "Additional Bespoke Build Derivative" option on the facelift 75

It was an extra £200 over the cost of a 1.8T.

One of our members Scooterchic owned a 2.0V6 tourer last year.

They are a pretty rare beast, the 2.0V6 Facelift, only a few have turned up so far.

Hmmm, interesting.

Is there anybody who could check that this car was built as a 2.0 and hasn't had an engine swap at some point?

The advertiser isn't to careful with his adds, it says leather seats, which it clearly doesn't have.

Im wondering if its really a 2.5?

Pm Reebs with the Vin number.
