In 2003, Volkswagen released the first car on the newest PQ35 platform. He collected all the most advanced, which was only the concern. Golf V could not but become a breakthrough. The body rang out in size, a multi-dimensione appeared in the rear suspension, the onboard electronics was now organized on a single tire with food hubs and a high degree of systems integration. Golf could boast engines with direct injection, predatory DSG boxes and optional full-wheel drive.
At the same time, the complexity of the structure and the continuation of the trend on the decline in maintainability remained behind the sneress.
With the advent of the new golf C-class became more, more difficult and friendly. The PQ35 platform and the PQ46 belonging to it became the base for tens of concern models over the next ten years. So a lot of "relatives" at the model, but he never waited for restyling. But already in 2008 his successor appeared.
The popularity and community of the platform made many models of the designer whose blocks of which can be mixed, connect in an arbitrary order and "upgrade". True, it is not always easy as in the case of an ordinary personal computer, but still.
Design and ergonomics quality standards, as defined in 2003, are relevant and understood. And therefore, it is the fifth golf preserves attractiveness and now, despite even all its shortcomings that he, to confess, is enough.
Body
I do not get tired of repeating that the letters "ZZZ" in Vinpholxwagen has nothing to do with galvanized, and the galvanized itself is not a mythical way to prevent rust in principle, but only one of the elements of multi-level anti-corrosion protection. Moreover, in addition to the advantages of galvanized has at least one major drawback: poor adhesion of soil to the metal. As a result, the car with the "real" galvanism often suffer from the seating of paintwork on a large area even with its small damage.

Volkswagen Golf (TYP 1K) "2003-08Yes, Golf V is excellent galvanized - almost all elements of the body are made of galvanized sheet. The car is also very good, and all the vulnerable places are maximally covered with plastic. But now the first cars of this series are already more than fifteen years, and the youngest ten. And it is hoped for the fact that the strong corrosion of Golf does not happen, as well as naive, how to look for a virgin in the house of tolerance. There are no chances: the body has many problem areas, each of which needs to be checked for the state and capabilities of "treatment".
Pay attention is primarily on the area between the front wing and the threshold. The dirt accumulates behind the locker, and corrosion paves the way along the threshold, along the wing and up the body's rack. The threshold is inclined to sandblasting, and the paint begins to fly by pieces at the slightest mechanical damage. While the cars were new, there were those who did not paint such damage to months, counting on galvanized and not knowing how it acts. And zinc on the panels is inclined to end, after which the thresholds are successfully rotated. Yes, and just accumulate inside the threshold and the molding of dirt and moisture will destroy it over time. Therefore, the coating should be applied, and the roots of rust - eliminate.
Volkswagen Golf (TYP 1K) "2003-08 The edges of the arches and joints of the wings and bumpers are also usually striking. Frozen in the cremes of ice, discharged plastic clips of fastenings of bumpers, dirt and vibrations are gradually weakened on these parts of the LCP, and the rust is gradually climbing out.
Corrosion of the rear door is the traditional trouble of all hatchbacks and universal, which by the party and Golf V. It is not as much as the predecessor, but still there are almost small traces on any car.
The edge of the roof and the hood - places, as traditionally prone to the appearance of corrosion. In the case of golf, the case is complicated by the fact that in mechanical damage to the paint peels with large pieces, and for some reason rust rusts fast enough.
The hood sometimes rusts not on the edge, but from the inside, at the junction of the amplifier, on the side of the side. And not necessarily replaced during repairs, but also original.
17 662 ruble
The revolutionary design of the doors with a removable external metal panel allows to reduce the cost of repairs with small damage that do not affect the door frame, and the price of the car assembly. But the outer panel turned out to be fine and fragile: the rolling in the front and lower parts is easily bent due to ice and snow between Door and threshold or wing. Yes, and the mechanical damage to the panel is not a rack: it is easy to rush and scratched. The junction of the outer panel and the frame can be chosen by corrosion, which gradually pumped the door from the inside. But I repeat: Repair is relatively inexpensive.
Volkswagen Golf (TYP 1K) "2003-08 And still look at the door molding, from which noticeable corrosion often looks like.
The bottom is usually everything is very decent. If the car did not beat, did not "bathe" and did not put every winter in a snowdrift, then Golf will give odds to more young "Japanese."
It is only worth assessing the state of the subframes and the elements of the suspension. There are also cars on which they tried to conquer off-road: the spars scratched, the plastic protection of the bottom, lockers and so on. In such cases, nothing is often saved.
Golf headlands gentle, sanded easily, and lens reflectors burn out. The mirrors can corrode aluminum brackets, and doors handles - seal.

Traditionally, for cars on this database, door seals have a limited resource, and in the absence of care they often lose tightness, deteriorating comfort. Special lubricants and timely replacement are helped. Without additional seals, there is enough of the average for five to eight years.
Headlight

Sealing chrome, black lining of the door racks, breakdowns of bumper fasteners The loss of their elements are also found often: age already makes itself felt.
Sometimes you can encounter power windows and door locks. This is not uncommon, but is not an obsessive problem.
Salon
In the cabin at Golf V, even in the simplest equipment, there are soft plastic, and good materials. And the salons are expensive able to impress those who do not get out of limousines. But ... yes, age is ruthless to everything. Something can crack, something to break due to non-accurate circulation. And here you can find traces of "upgrades" and alterations.
Pens, glove box cover, numerous decorative plugs and lining, rear cup holder and even floor gas pedal are falling into the risk area. The pedal is removed from the base when the snow is accumulated under it.
Volkswagen Golf (TYP 1K) "2003-08 The skin of the steering wheel is usually before running for 200 thousand, he is kept, although it begins to unnaturally glitter. And at the same time, the driver with rings on the fingers can break it only for several tens of thousands of run.
Fabric seats are not afraid of anything, except for the root of heating mats. But the sidelines suffer from the "solokina". In addition, they are often robbed and just quickly rub off.
The car's climatic systems are quite different, from fully manual to double-zone automatic climate control. Wear a fan system can be expected during runs for 200 thousand. Typically help cleaning and lubrication, the benefit here the front panel is collapsible, and half the design is available behind the glove compartment. Valeo's motors can deny when run times in two less, but here as lucky. Yes, and the smooth start system can add trouble when diagnosing: just check the motor, feeding the power directly - the idea is not very good.
Automatic climate control systems are quite a lot. Systems until 2007 and after different parts, so the simple "upgrade" of the first editions of the climate panel from Golf VI is fraught with the failures of the recycling system due to changes in the damper operation scheme. Therefore, things like an expansion of temperature range and automatic recycling on the sensor will require several more work than replacing the climate block itself. At least - replacement of mine 1K1 820 303 D. And most often also changes in wiring. But they have common problems, wear of the drivers of dampers and the malfunction of the control unit. Characteristic crackling says, most likely, that the reducer will have to be replaced. Well, the control units are sometimes treated with a scanner, and sometimes you have to repair a block. Control blocks until 2007 have a gentle covering of buttons and cleanly visually look worn, but in operation they are more reliable than intelligent later.
Volkswagen Golf GTI "2004 But most harm the salon attempts to a variety of improvements made by handicrafts. Plocks, new abnormal firmware, all sorts of RCD 300-310 replacements on RNS, installation of Chinese head devices, alarms, covers, new armrests, overlays, panels, ventilation nozzles, and everything else. Usually work is carried out not very professionally, and reinforcement work end with the use of abnormal fasteners, the appearance of unnecessary gaps and other troubles. Yes, and failures in electronics after this "improving" is usually a lot.
Electrician and electronics
An advanced electrical scheme and comparatively budget execution have its consequences. Complex wiring is afraid of vibration, insulation and corrosion disorders. And the banal doors' wiring problems may have far-reaching effects due to the high degree of integration of the blocks. In general, be prepared for the fact that in the case of which the electrician you will need an expensive and knowing the car on this platform "from and to".
Volkswagen Golf (TYP 1K) "2003-08 There are also breakdowns of executive mechanisms. Especially - in the first, the oldest Golf. Fortunately, self-diagnosis is here at a good level, but without VCDS (it is - Vasya-diagnostic), it is better to even approach the car. A climb without a disclaim to activate everything, to use the services of non-professional and read on the Internet "recipes" is often fraught with a long search for problems and equipment repairs.
Brakes, Pendants and Steering
There is no complaints to the brake system, especially with regard to low-power versions. But due to age, you already need to follow the condition of the tubes and hoses.
Refuses of the ABS block are rare, the sensors are also submitted. The resource of the original elements is more than high, but finding a ten-year VW, serviced with original components, is difficult. But the choice of Chinese and European brands is great. And the resource will depend on how much they paid for spare parts.

The suspension at current times is quite traditional: MacPherson in front and multi-dimensione from behind. Usually to run in a hundred thousand it takes a serious repair of the rear suspension. In the front suspension in a regular replacement there are stabilizer racks. Behind everything depends on how heavy passengers you take.
The hub bearings are poorly withstanding the non-standard departure of wheels and 18-inch discs on the "isolate". If it is very pulling, look for enhanced bearings in the catalogs - they are there.
Volkswagen Golf (TYP 1K) "2003-08 Steering on the fifth golf - with an electric powerful, and the rake - the first generation zf. Early outlets are not sinful. After 200-250 thousand, the likelihood of failure of the moment sensor increases, but it was learned to restore the repairs of the loop. Otherwise, the mechanism turned out to be reliable, a little prone to the stacks and resistant to traditional errors in handling the steering control. And yet it is afraid of leakage, especially the right gland, breakdowns of electronics, water from entering the connectors and crazy craftsmen who climb into the control blocks with their unwashed hands.
Volkswagen Golf (TYP 1K) "2003-08 In a word, until it is impossible to say that Golf V is a capricious machine that needs to be caught as far as possible. But everything can change in the engine dedicated to the motors and the boxes of this car. Yes, yes, there will be about all sorts of TSI IDSG. And although it will be already the tenth time, it must still be interesting.
In 2003, the Volkswagen concern was presented with the new fifth generation of Golf. VW representatives claim that, from the point of view of progress, the 5th Golf is the most serious step forward from the time of entering the light of this family. Golf V is built on the newest "all-tillaxwage" platform, which has already formed the basis of the Audi A3 II generation and VW Touran. Together with it, AW TomBil received a multi-type rear suspension, and in addition - a new body whose stiffness increased by 80%.
Volkswagen Golf 5 generation has become longer than 57 mm (4204 mm), wider by 24 mm (1759 mm) and above 39 mm (1483 mm). The first space of space will feel the rear passengers: the foot seats added to 65 mm, and the ceiling raised by 24 mm. The volume of the trunk grew up to 347l.
The gamma engines for the novelty amounted to 2 gasoline engines (1.4 liters, 75 liters s.; 1.6 liters, 115 liters.) And a pair of turbo diesel engines: 1.9 TDI with a capacity of 110 liters. from. and 140-strong 2.0 TDI. Later, the model range was replenished with more powerful motors, including the V-shaped "six" with a capacity of 250 liters. from. With a working volume of at 3.2 liters, equipped with a robotic "mechanical" DSG with two clutches.
Golf V is offered in 3 versions of the basic equipment: Trendline, ComfortLine and Sportline, which differ in some details of the finish. Each of them already includes 6 airbags, ABS with the BRAKE Assist and ESP system.
VOLKSWAGEN GOLF V Presentation
It is difficult to be a god
Yuri Neduchov
Driving No. 12 2003
City "Golf"
Pillars flashing outside the window like a stakenik, again found the transverse dimensions. Express, extinguishing the speed, drawn up the windows of the station, the name "Golfsburg" swapped in the window. It was so temporarily "crossed" the capital "Volkswagen" Wolfsburg on the occasion of the debut of the fifth generation of the most successful model of the concern.
Increased attention to the event it is not by chance: since 1974, more than 22 million four-generation machines were released, which even more circulation of the famous "Beetle" at 21,517,415 copies. During the last almost thirty years in the world, 2100 "Golf" was sold daily! This AW Tomobile has become a kind of reference, giving a name to a whole class. However, competitors are not dormant - if the first "golf" rolled only with a dozen classmates, then the fifth challenge leadership will already have 130 rivals. Here we need serious arguments, to keep at the top of the AW Tomotkin Olympus is not easy.
FURTHER MORE
In our consciousness, the prestige of AW Tomobila is directly related to its dimensions. It is precisely because "more - it means better", every next generation of the same model, as a rule, exceeds the previously preceding sizes. It did not exception and "Golf V", which added in length, width and height, respectively, 55, 24 and 39 mm. The most noticeable, by 67 mm, the wheelbase has increased. The overall dimensions of the three- and five-door hatchbacks remain the same. New methods of calculation, increased share of high-strength steel, modern technologies - in the fifth "golf", for example, 70 M of laser welds against 5 m in the fourth - allowed 80% to increase the strength of the body, having achieved the best indicators in the segment. Another useful innovation is a modular design of the doors: the outer panel is fixed on the carrier frame with glue and screws and can be easily replaced during damage. However, outside all these changes are difficult to catch.
Another thing inside is in the fifth "golf", unlike the fourth, you can completely free to sit behind! Moreover, even if you move the front seats back to the failure, the back does not touch the rear passenger's feet. And for the driver of the average set, with its own height of 180 cm, I measured 110 mm in front of the knees and 90 mm above the top of the top.
My colleague, the same driver of the average set, turned out to be a fair joker - giving way to the wheel, lowered the chair at the lowest position. I am familiar with the usual movement in a fifth point in the salon and ... without meeting the supports, I get somewhere down, it seems to the most asphalt. Heart and Copchik managed to squeeze - plume! Thank God, the chair is still in place. However, in what place - I barely ears stick out over the glazing line, and the ceiling is palm! If I understand something in Percents, then it will be just a giant for two twenty. Observing with the elevator handle, twisting some other handles and mowing the electrical four-mode adjustment of the lumbar backpage (by the way, for the first time in this class), I find a convenient position. Ta-a-ak, so what is new here?
Brother-V.
If briefly, then everything is here everything - something has changed strongly, the other is barely barely, but most of the elements are still recognizable. To the first one, it is possible to attribute a more convenient, convex and rounded central console, which two pits be written, bringing the element of sports in the interior. The steering wheel was not so plump, three-spoken, with the audio system rendered. Otherwise, this is "golf" with all the names. Style solutions, design, but elements themselves, naturally, others are saved. Although everything is also intuitive, no personality or unjustified originality.
And the former "golf" did not look cheap inside, and this and suppressed: soft embossed plastic, smooth gaps, leather and velor, wood and chrome. Below and complete set - Even in the most democratic "trendline" AW Tomobyl serially equipped with a system for maintaining an ESP course stability, an emergency braking amplifier for DUAL BREAK ASSIST, six-pillows, seat belts, active head restraints, electric car and central locking with remote control. Option "Comfortline" already offers light and rain sensors, cruise control, alloy wheels, velor's upholstery. At the top "Sportylan" - sports suspension, sixteen-day drives, on-board computer, leather on the steering wheel and levers, insertion under titanium.
Triumph Rudolph Diesel
The bastard and sadist was the Giant Scroll - in order that the ancient Greek. He dug his feet with so much in vain, not puzzling even a faithful pretext. The current engine builders are caused by both respectful - nature, ecology and all that. But the strict requirements of Euro IV forced them to root the characteristics of gasoline engines simply before indecency.
I tried in vain a new 1,4fsi engine with direct fuel injection into cylinders. And the numbers like an impressive - 90 forces, 174 km / h, and it goes as if he was lucky to retire. But I do not like lean, I would like to be like a fool. For example, another novelty is a 12.0fsi stoppy. This is what it is necessary: \u200b\u200bExcellent dynamics, powerful thrust in a wide range of revolutions. Well, emotions had enough, now you can relax on the dieselle. By the way, they say, he almost does not take a close bed of ecological requirements.
It was not here! This crazy two-liter descendant of unhurried squares is a real gun! Moreover, it is great for the gasoline fellow, that even a roar of high speed warns that all the horses of the cloud and Newton meters are ready. And this quietly, barely hear mumbles on one and a half thousand - just 60 km / h on IV gear, the most harmless mode. And suddenly, without any switching "down" in response only to pressing the pedal of the accelerator Ka-A-Ak jump forward! To be honest, the first such jump just frightened, thought flashed: someone "drove" in the tail!
However, the miracle is not here. Thanks to the turbine of adjustable geometry and intercooler, turbodiesel 2.0TDI develops a moment of 320 N.m. Already at 1750 rpm, and a 2.0fsi gasoline engine is only 200 NM and only 3,500 rpm. So, at a speed of 60 km / h, Diesel thrust on IV gear is even higher than a gasoline motor on III. Yes, the six-speed manual box here turned out to be more than appropriate.
A distinctive feature of the 2.0TDI unit, as well as a less powerful 1.9TDI, is a quick start system that allows you to start instantly at any temperature. With these motors, along with the mechanical aggregative and the six-speed AW, the DSG (Direct SHIFT Gearbox) with a poundation of manual control, characterized by the absence of a torque converter.
Let's wait until Spring
Turbodiesel rails have already passed the selection for delivery to Russia. With the "direct" gasoline engines are more difficult, they are very demanding of the quality of fuel, especially the content of sulfur. Nevertheless, a bold solution is made - we will sell all new motors. From the aggregates of the previous generation with a distributed injection of fuel, a 1.4 l motor is already installed, and a little later, and 1.6 liters of power, respectively, 75 and 102 liters. from. Until the price is defined for which in the spring of next year we will sell "Golf V". On October 17 - the day of commencement of sales in Germany, the minimum value of the novelty was 15,220 euros.

Well, no, the second time it will not be asked. A couple of months ago, when we checked in the case of diesel "golf", I was already tormented with the trunk, until I remembered that the large emblem itself serves his handle. Now in front of me "Golf Plus"; Now I am very turpened by the letters of VW ... Damn, yes what it is! These "golf", they are indistinguishable from each other, then for some reason are original in such trifles as the castle of the fifth door! The portfolio went to the headquarters of the company in Wolfsburg on the leather seat. Do you hear do not turn on?
Plus 95.
A little later, at the lecture "What is" Volkswagen Golf / "\u003e Golf Plus"? " Experts explained that the proportions changed compared to the prototype dictated the transfer of the license plate from the bumper to the fifth door, the place for the usual handle appeared in his niche, etc., etc. It seems logical, but not an interesting part. " Golf "In general, the car is very correct, outwardly calm, and when it has been reproved in" Volkswagen Golf Plus / "\u003e Golf Plus," it was possible to ride somewhere, go beyond. Alas, everywhere the exact German calculation. Even the tilt of the jumper on the bumper is dictated by the laws of graphics, and not just the will of the artist.
So what is "plus"? The new Grand "Golf", which was adjusted by 95 mm. It turned out a high wagon, something among the "Volkswagen-Golf" and "Turan". If some performances simply "golf" can still be called a machine for individuals, then the name "plus" hints on extra sedes. For them, the salon increased, changed the landing, added liters to the trunk; And for the driver, on the contrary, they tried to keep all the driving qualities of the rules of the golf class ... However, just we will check now.
MINUS ONE
The length and width of the car remained the same, the visibility was not injured, so when Parkovka, the driver "plus" is unlikely to feel that the spacious salon had to pay something. We leave for AW Toban ... Oh, that's what I didn't have enough when traveling on a two-liter diesel "Golf" - German roads! My "plus" with the same power unit: gas to the floor, and the car is powerfully accelerated, allowing you to rebuild from the acceleration strip in the left row in seconds. And now you are already included with the cruising sixth gear and follow the swimming pointers: Braunschweig, Magdeburg ...
To confess, driving, I did not feel the difference with the usual golf. Except for the gusts of the side wind slightly larger the car; And if you look into the tables, you will see that "plus" with a 140-strong diesel engine and a six-speed box loses the same "golf" only 1 km / h of maximum speed.
By the way, the model range today includes two gasoline and two diesel engines from 1.4 to 2 liters, which in different versions are combined with five- and six-speed boxes, "AW Tomato" or DSG - in fact, six-speed "mechanics" with very Fast AW Tomatic switching. The table shows only four variants of power units, two of which diesel. They will probably be in Russia, which cannot be said about 1,4 l and 1.6 FSI gasoline engines. Diesels ride very well, but we dare to assume that the best combination is a 2-liter diesel plus DSG. Comes to try out - I will certainly share it with pleasure.
Now my turn is to sit behind. The spacious sofa is entirely at my disposal, lowered the armrest, make a back of the back, raise the table. I have nothing to put on him, it becomes boring ... On the go in the trunk you will not dig. However, this is just free parking.
Plus minus 160
The rear seat is shifted by 160 mm longitudinally, allowing you to increase the considerable cargo compartment. There is enough space for the legs, at least if the crew of medium height. You can still fold the back in parts, remove the raised floor - see "PhotoTudius with an umbrella". I liked the kinematics of the rear seats - when we fold the back, the pillow goes down and forward, so in one movement you get the cargo compartment with a smooth floor. True, for the tilt of the back, you need to find and pull the unsightly loop, which is disappointing after the convenient buttons "Golf".
The seats of the "plus", for nothing, and move as you like, always remain in the cabin. It is impossible to dismantle them, that is, the explanation of the designers: where to attach a lot of sofa size? In fact, I, for example, has nowhere. But, remaining in the cabin, the chairs work for safety - the vertical backs installed reliably cut the cargo compartment.
It is difficult to imagine that someone will seem few cabin configurations. For me, they are even a bit too much. Here imagine the full Skarba trunk and full Sedok salon. The passenger you did not have time to warn, shifts the back seat forward ... oh, there something fell there! And then back ... oh, now it cries ...
In Germany, about so much different is the price of a plus from simply "golf" in the same configuration. We are talking about euro. When the car appears in the salons of Russian dealers, let's see what this plus in rubles will be. It is unlikely that AW Tomobil will become cheap - too good, like, in fact, and his older brother. Rather, he will be as half as possible for the needs of a particular client. Want a hatchback - please. Need a high wagon - here it is.
By the way, about versatility. Despite the presentation of the high wagon "Volkswagen Golf Plus", in Wolfsburg they are also talking about the classical universal - under the usual name "Option" ...
Visiting VW
Wolfsburg, the capital of the empire "Volkswagen", turned into a largest local attraction. Only 14 euros - and you fall into the real AW Tomobile Disneyland, uncomplicated by AvtoTadt called. Guests meet a huge globe. Blue tablo corresponds to the position of Wolfsburg - if you look at the reflection in the floor. Sometimes the truth can be seen only in the mirror ... Tourists include modern stamps in the VW group, famous glass towers with finished products, circular kinopanoram, a museum with a rich AW collection of Tostarina. A tour of the production is possible: "There are up to 3000 cars per day, the plane area is more than 6 km2, we have some bikes about 6 thousand! But the traces of Shrapnel, during the war the building was destroyed by 2/3 ... "At the end - lunch with an indispensable sausage under Carry sauce (another gift from the 1945th, but about that another time). In fact, Volkswagen is the largest producer of sausages, 3 million pieces annually (cars in Wolfsburg are collected in four times less).
Everything, the client is ready. He will surely want to see how in good weather on the lawns of AvtoShtadt comes out the local crowd of rabbits, or show children like dad spinning in the chair of the DTP demonstrator. The easiest way to return is to order a new "golf" dealer with obtaining in Wolfsburg (saving on delivery - several hundred euros). Upon learning, you understand: it was for this that you have fun here and entertained ... And yet it is very sorry that such a service is available only when buying a car in Germany. The rest arrive here by tourists. By the way, in AvtoShorette there is a guide with a Russian language.

Driving No. 9 2005
The day was still the same: in the morning to rummage to work, to the dinner - to the embassy for a visa, then to the airport, three hours to run through the plane, another half an hour in the train, transfer to the high-speed express, to wipe three hundred kilometers, get, finally, the test machine And ... Two hundred and four hundreds of hundreds on it.
Volkswagen Golf Plusk happiness, it was the right German AW Tomobyl "Volkswagen Golf", more precisely "Plus", in which everything where it should be, and where any button you find blindfolded - creative finds of Columbus from ergonomics, so often on others Machines, that evening I would have been finished.
Try to calculate all circumference in the Golf Plus interior. I saw 16 in this photo: here's the dominant element so - sat and drove, as if for the hundredth time, and not first see AW Tomobil. Moderately rigid profiled chairs with many adjustments and two pneumatic plows in the back, a short lever of a clear gearbox, clear devices, extremely clear two-zone climate control, soft road plastic panel - everything suits me here!
Ugh you, smoothed - the foot hurts about the hard casing of the steering column! Routed the knee, go in the chair, assessing the landing: and that, a good compromise, with all its "minivan" verticality, you do not feel on the stool. And you can sit behind, thumping my leg. Although the central tunnel could be smaller.
However, the interest in the car is mainly caused by the FSI two-liter gasoline engine with direct fuel injection into the cylinders. We must pay tribute, the motor is good, one and a half hundred horses playing are pretty heavy "golf plus". With the slip to rush from the traffic light? Easily! Up to one hundred - only 9.2 seconds.
Rain Sensor, Electrochromic Mirror With AW Tomatic Dimmer, Navigable Lamps, High Frequency Dynamics, Skipper - Comfort Many No Caleser Information Display is always ready to suggest a shortest way to the desired point ... Alas, only in Western Courtspotable Lenalty Driver, accelerate in the "First Third-fifth "? Carry around the city on IV gear, almost without switching? And this is possible due to the excellent elasticity of the motor and the moment in 200 N.M. Hold on AW Tobane 150 km / h? Not a question at all! In the salon, silence, under the pedal - a good margin, which, if necessary, makes it even on the VI transmission without losing the speed to take a protracted climb or dynamically accelerate. But at high speed it is necessary to be attentive, "Golf Plus" is quite high and sensitive to the impusts of the side wind.
Instead of the European Remkomplekt, a full-sized spare wheel, a dense suspension and a balanced steering wheel control, the electric powerful of which increases the reactive action with an increase in speed, simplify the task - the machine always remains obedient and not too sharp in responses. But a small ripple on the rim does not hurt. Another drawback was manifested in the evening - the edge of the repeater of the turning indicator on small outer mirrors turns out to be in the field of view of the driver and blind in the dark. Well, maybe about "blind", especially in the city, where many lights, I rang, but on a dark highway, this illumination is clearly superfluous.
The living and dynamic nature of the two-liter "Volkswagen" allowed the easiest, in one breath to clear the four hundred night kilometers. Yes, and in the future the speedometer arrow more and more looked to the right - it turns out this motor, oh turns! Maybe therefore gasoline consumption was not so modest - 10.1 l / 100 km. Although the factory characteristics promise only 6.6 liters on the highway - but it is if not "pedal", to hold in economy mode. Well, there will still be time to clarify - because from autumn AW, TomBil will begin to sell in Russia. Not to say to be cheap - from 22 thousand dollars, but "plus" is worth it.
You have already acquired by children, dog and cottages, but have not yet lost the youthful burdens? Two-liter "golf plus" - for you. This practical trailer knows how to be fast.
+ Good dynamics, excellent engine elasticity, spacious interior, thoughtful ergonomics, clear box job.
- Sensitivity to the side wind, massive casing of the steering column, blinding turning pointers.

The Director of the AW Todrome "Paul Ricar" stopped in a video monitoring hall in front of a huge wall from a variety of monitors: "Our track is one of the most modern in the world. On it, for example, 38 managed TV cameras are installed, which are ready to show a close-up of any grain on the asphalt ... "... So all your frills will be with us before our eyes - mentally finished it to the phrase. Okay, I will not but.
Where are you, good intentions? They disappeared, the starting flag was barely shot. Motor sings, driving a tachometer arrow to seven thousand, howl tires is intermittently "Dr Rrr ..." on the wrecks, wet palms squeezed the steering wheel, the eye fits the point of the beginning of the next braking.
And-and-AI, ON-ZZ! The foot hits the pedals, the head nods, shaking the shreds of thoughts: ... Why can't I hear the dragonment ABS? ... or she broke down? ... why then does not drag it, the brake discs are more than 300 mm - even 18-inch "lapties" should be blocked? ... or so well configured that it is not felt?
On the sound "z-zz", the muzzle was asslaved and, following the wheel, stared at the turn. High side support rollers stopped an attempt to fall out of the chair - no wonder for GTI designed new seats with a sports profile and a multitude of settings. Interesting case: I have not yet shot down, I almost did not demolished the cone at the entrance to the S-shaped bundle - you can log in right on the s-sand drift, and the Golf GTI will literally literate to the asphalt and does not want to crawl out !
However, it should be: because from the usual "golf" he inherited the rear suspension twirling in the turn, and in addition, he was reduced to 15 mm road clearance, increased rigidity of the spring, shock absorbers and rear stabilizer of transverse stability, efficient disc brakes of large diameter and the most Sports of eight presets of the electric power steering. Wheels Even in the "Standard" 225/45R17, on request and at all 225/40R18!
The current GTI is the fifth generation of high-speed machines based on Golf, but for the first time it is so noticeably different. A small spoiler on the roof edge, a 70 mm double-breakthrough release - elements, of course, bright, but satisfying even a small tuning firm. The debutant has a new one, while made in corporate-style front part with anthracite-black insert in the center and enlarged "cellular" air intake lattices, as well as a more massive rear bumper skirt.
However, the most serious changes are hidden under the hood: the two-liter gasoline Motor of the FSI series with direct fuel injection into the cylinders, the inlet valve phase control mechanism has been equipped with a turbocharger - now it develops 200 hp. And the regiment of torque in 280 N.MM stretched from 1800 to 5000 revolutions per minute! Six-speed gearboxes for choice - Mechanical and AW Tomatic DSG (SP, 2003, No. 2).
... Long gentle rise unscrews the motor to the ring. One touch of the right petal under the steering wheel is an instant transition to a note below. With a conventional gearbox, even the most trained racer spends about 0.2 s: you need to squeeze the clutch, turn off the transmission, to equalize the speed of rotation speeds, enter the new pair of gears, release the grip. In DSG, figuratively speaking, two boxes and two clutches are collected. And they already include two programs - one works, the second is ready. To switch, a single clutch is turned off, and the second is synchronously turned on - more precisely, even with some proof, since multi-disc designs work in an oil bath and allow some slip than a smooth, although a very fast change in the gear ratio is achieved.
Together with the correction of gear ratios of the transmission, this gave a winnings of 0.3 s in acceleration to hundreds compared to a conventional manual box. But the maximum speed is below 2 km / h - the DSG switching drive pump is to blame, eating some of the power. However, with all the subtleties of the process, electronics with hydraulics, the driver has only two pedals - gas and a brake and a couple of levers with "-" and "+" icons under the wheel.
By the way, this box is clearly and without delay works in the usual AW volumetric mode, which turned out the next day on ordinary roads. And in general, Golf GTI is not only a powerful sports projectile, but also a wonderful vehicle for every day: excellent noise insulation, spacious interior, rich equipment, high quality finish. And even the suspension does not seem tough, although, except for "lying policemen," it was not known to check it. Very comfortable three-spin profiled steering wheel, slightly reinforced below.
Safety is not forgotten: except for stabilization and pressure control systems, there are, for example, active head restraints and six or eight inflatable pillows, including full-sized side curtains.
... At the end, Ruby's Ruby Arrows rested in the "180" and "7000", the next right, which can be followed without discharge. Just entered, I feel it drags out, as if Salom is namazano - there would have to straighten the trajectory and go calmly from the track, the benefit of a safety zone with three soccer fields. So no, I began to sit down ... As a result, this zone flew part of the sideways, part of the backward, it was probably a fun in a video monitoring room ...
On Pete Line, the first thing sat down at the wheel - it is, there is some memories from the tread, the shoulder zone is gnawed to Cord, where it can be kept!
A friendly engineer from Volkswagen reassured: "Do not worry, 840 journalists visited here for three weeks, and we changed 800 wheels ..." Yes, not only Russians love to ride quickly. Especially if the car asks.

Arguments of practicality
Sergey Voskresensky
Driving No. 7 2007
Once on the driver's seat, I finally recognize the old and good friend. Very decent for this class stock of space around, impeccable arms of the chair, a grip steering wheel, comfortable pedals, tamblers and "international" instrument combination. It is probably even better adapted for passengers, and certainly cheerful. Yes, this "People's Universal" will surely reign in its class for a not one year, asking the standards the rest. Once again, assessing the quality of the skin, plastics, and just the saturation of the configuration, do not cease to be surprised by the thoughtfulness, harmony of every part. Completely, cozy, though, probably, and expensive. But there are no words about the prices, we decide with a colleague sitting on the right - we will enjoy the raisins of the novelties.
The interior of the Golf Option is distinguished by the careful thoughtfulness and balance of design solutions - the trait that has already become company. Here shuddered and confidently shot up arrow of analog appliances, a robotic DSG box without bore and lags began to confidently recalculate all six steps, the point rolled the point by the screen, noting our location.
A panoramic hatch with a length of 1.36 m and a width of 0.87 m is included in the standard equipment of the Sportline configuration. In one breath, slipping the local tracks, drag on AW Toban. "Option", obeying the team, as the proven, rushes forward, leaving for the mighty feed of potential competitors. On a speedometer under two hundred, and the engine is still confidently sings her soft song, insistently accelerating the car. And the surrounding non-coming that the feeling of pride, even the superiority we experience, is not based on the solid power of the wagon. It is for "Volkswagen" - the case is usual. But the thing is that 170 forces are removed from the engine with a volume of only 1.4 liters! In this, as in the deceptive appearance, at first, it is simply not believed - so light, temperament on the machine's reaction. And soon the route computer has brought the result: the average fuel consumption is just over 8 liters. Well, the superiority of the latest technologies denoted by the TSI signcom, very clearly.
The "international" combination of devices is typical for most concern models. Colleagues journalists as if they were crazy: there are not enough cars, everyone wants to try all the new items at once. Burning interest causes two unusual gasoline engines with a volume of 1.4 liters (140 and 170 hp). With their appearance, thanks to the complex combination of the drive compressor and turbocharging, the creators promise almost 20 percent fuel savings, and it is high, without discounts on smallness, dynamic characteristics. In this partly he was already convinced, therefore, having fluttering, I still remain a supporter of the most powerful TSI motor, only with a 6-speed mechanic. So it will be better to understand the nature of the engine. Communication with robotic transmission as a whole left a very favorable impression; However, with a sharp start it seemed that the engine was a tandem - the box slightly "slows down", as if appreciating the seriousness of intentions.
With a conventional gearbox, everything is much more transparent. The jerk of the machine is accompanied by a barely noticeable, but very characteristic, almost diesel rock sound of the mechanical compressor. His work still manages to feel and track. Next, "Option", as if a strained spring, simply shoots, hitting the excellent working range: from 1500 to 7500 rpm. On the flexibility of settings, the engine is ready for any experiments. It is possible, as we are now, to be broken head, the benefit of the German roads are allowed, but it is possible, on the contrary, to roll yourself slowly and measured, "Vizhviv" is already 60 km / h to the highest transmission. And in any of the situations you will not feel like something deprived, rather, on the contrary ...
The central armrest is included in the standard equipment of the ComfortLine configuration, hides the hatch for the lengths. Further transformation of the pillow and the back of the rear seat - on the exhaust scheme, the main thing is not to forget to remove the head restraints. Everything else is the traditional addition to the first impressions from this AW Tomobila. Related acoustic comfort, good handling and brakes, good smoothness. The right, it would be strange if the godfather of the golf class found at least a small slack. Take the chassis. If, according to the creators, the universal is allowed to be a comfortable fellow hatchback, it will indeed be better adapted for long-distance travel.
Save some stiffness of behavior in small irregularities and most likely will be slightly less expressive on winding serpentines. In general, the "option" pleases the excellent understanding of the teams, the clarity of feedback and logic of behavior.
Almost all told about the novelty: how many AW TomBills are planning to do this year, what are the expansioned configurations, intellectual security systems. The fact that in August the universal will appear in Russia, including one of the new TSI motors (140 hp). That's just with the price of pedantic Germans have not yet decided ...
All universal modifications are equipped with six airbags. As an option, the side pillows for the rear passengers will be offered. If the "golf variant" is equipped with a coupling device (mass of the trailer with brakes 1200-1500 kg), it can be supplemented with an ESP-related trailer stabilization system. The information is read from the arranging sensor, and if the oscillations of the "tail" exceed the permissible, then the electronics, the hydrocyc, will return the trailer to the previously specified trajectory. For greater efficiency, the tractor braking begins when the trailer is in the "neutral" - zero position of the amplitude of oscillations.
Volkswagen Golf Variant - Practical, Soliden, is interesting constructively. Uncommon AW Tomobil rightfully strives to be a class of older.

Test Drive VW Golf V
Volkswagen - People's AW Tomobil, it follows at least from the very name of the brand. And his folk model is Golf, 23 million sold TomBills starting from launching this model in 1974. However, for decades and brand, and the model strongly evolved. Call "People's AW Tomobim" a three-door Golf V Sportline Canaron Color with a 2-liter FSI engine and a 6-speed "AW Tomato" is not rotated. You can get it in private property in just 33.776 dollars. The situation is slightly improving all sorts of discounts, for our configuration, the price would decrease by about 3,000 dollars. Over the past decade, VW is scammer and finally vowed.
Three-door Hatch, color, AW Tomato - Immediately lines the idea of \u200b\u200bthe female AW TomBile, which, however, is somewhat refuted by the motor capacity (150 hp). Despite the significant changes in the design, the general features of the latest Golf models in AW TomBile are preserved. Workers of the VW representative office in Russia are not accidentally like a phrase about the absolute protection of the design from the fake. It is Golf, and nothing else, although such continuity of style, both between the III and IV generation, is no longer felt.
Headlight blocks with transversely located rotation pointers and rear lights increased in size, significantly changed in shape to come in line with the company's new corporate style. There are huge company emblems in front and behind. The rear, by the way, performs the functions of the trunk handle - it looks very pretty and, after pressing, it is smoothly returned to its original position. True, with bad weather gets dirty.
Tomobile's AW interior is even more traditional, "German", without unnecessary emotional jets, but is extremely functional - all controls and switches are exactly where you expect to see them. Sitting to the salon, first of all look around and conveniently arrange at a driver's seat - the seat has a decent set of adjustments and reliably keeps from lateral displacement. Comfort is now not the privilege of only front passengers, as in the previous generation. Thanks to the increased sizes of the body, the rear passengers do not have to sign the knees of the ears and three are placed there without any problems. The volume of the luggage compartment also increased to 347 liters.
Starting movement, think about quick driving, given the volume of the engine and 150 "horses" under the hood. However, disappointment is quite quickly, the 6-step AW tomato slightly cautates the engine, including the last transmission is already 80 km, and even in the "sports" mode, the situation is practically not changed. Most likely, this is due to the need to fit into the EURO IV standards and save the costy fuel. It is consumed, by the way, about 10 liters per 100 km when the air conditioner is turned on.
Only switching the transmissions "manually", you can disperse this hatch to "hundreds" for passports 8.7 seconds. The chassis behaves in accordance with the strict canons of the pseudo-alone AW Tomobila. Provided this in Wolfsburg due to the optimized suspension of the new design and high body rigidity. Riding in urban mode delivers exceptionally positive emotions. The maximum speed that was able to develop on the track was approximately 220 km / h. Large discomfort was not felt, except for AW Tomobil a little drove on the road, which is not surprising at such a speed and quality of Russian roads. The brake with the BRAKE ASIST system in any modes demonstrated their best qualities.
The steering is extremely informative: in urban conditions, the steering wheel is "easy", the gain is continuously optimized by signals from speed sensors. By the way, the steering wheel first became multifunctional. You can control telephone conversations and / or multimedia system. It can also be said that AW Tomobyl is might comfortable and fast enough. He will probably have to taste to representatives of a beautiful sex. But any potential buyer will reasonably make a question about the price.
In our case, a more expensive car made multiple decorative panels, functional compartments in the cabin and a powerful engine. Moldings in body color, side mirrors with integrated turn signals and fog, as well as other pleasant little things that do not affect speed. In addition, in the package of 6 airbags, two-zone climate control and stereomagnetol, equipped with a CD changer on 6 disks. All this can not be installed, and then the price will noticeably fall. But the main investments of the buyer makes not even high-quality plastic or, say, in a multifunctional steering wheel, and in the safety and running quality of the new Golf.
In Russia, Golf V 2.0 FSI with 6 AT in the Sportline configuration is a little more than 30,000. Other configurations with different engines will cost from 16.999 dollars for TrendLine, 18.973 dollars for ComfortLine and $ 18.736 for Sportline. Various profitable loan programs in collaboration with BSGV Bank will undoubtedly help you doubt your choice.

Test Drive VW Golf V 1.6 AT
If there are about twenty thousand conventional units to buy a new AW Tomobile, the mass of tempting offers immediately appears. Due to the specifics of this section, it is not worth mentioning the competitors of Volkswagen Golf V. You can only say that the ratio of the price / quality value established by the concern not so long ago, begins to find an understanding from buyers. On the road, it is increasingly and more often you can see the "Fifth" Golf with a 1.6 liter engine, and it will certainly be equipped with AW Tomatic gearbox. The popularity of such a combination is difficult to challenge. The basic set of AW Tommobile includes everything you need for a calm drift in the urban stream.
Add the air conditioner to it - and get the perfect option for a beginner driver. A peculiar bonus for the purchase can be considered the lack of serious concerns about your safety. This makes a model popular among the female population, which has accumulated money on the first car from a foreign manufacturer.
If the father decides to ride on the future vehicle of his daughter, he will certainly remain pleased with the moves. The new suspension and improved body rigidity allow much, so manageability leaves very good impressions. A reasonable disposal of the dynamic capabilities of AW Tomobila with the help of pedals and steering will be accessed up to 180 km / h. At the same time, "hundreds" it transfers in 12.5 seconds, which is unlikely to give mom a reason to worry about excessive AW Tomobile. Regarding Finance, you can also not worry hard. The 102-strong engine spends only 10-11 liters in mixed mode and this is not the indicator that is able to cause stress.
Tomobile AW forms have become much smoother compared to the predecessor. Someone they will seem too rapidly, but what can you do. Mom, for example, likely like. Like transverse rotation signs, and the rear lights that have changed the form and grew up in size. Harmoniously fit into the overall design and huge company emblems on the radiator grille and the lid of the trunk. Now there are cool little things, imperceptible at first glance - in a headlight block can be seen a small VW icon.
But in any case, the overall impression of AW Tomobila is created due to its color. Thinking about the relevance of the Red, the question comes to mind: What are the reasons for choosing this coloring on AW TomBile with a 1.6 liter engine and an AW Tomatic gearbox? Is that hope for additional attention to your person of surrounding drivers. Brighter paint - it is better visible. Useful option for girls, by the way. Especially from the category "Second Day by Steering".
Training a ride on this AW Tomobile is also unusually simple. The layout of the dashboard and the climate installation manipulators will not be caused by representatives of the fine sex of serious difficulties with addiction. The same applies to the gear lever, as well as pedals, which, oddly enough, two. Not even explaining why you need some keys, you can count on a successful self-mastering of them by any girl. Victorious views will probably periodically fly through the salon in the direction of the teacher-torch.
To explain popular what ESP and ASR is probably useless. It is easier to demonstrate the work of these systems in action. This approach to the training of young personnel is time to introduce employees AW Toshlov. A little fear, a little reproaches, and then joy and endless requests to teach something from this area. Along with the ESP (stabilization system) and ASR (anti-test system), naturally, there are ABS (anti-lock) with a two-stage brake amplifier and the Dual Brake Assist system. This wise combination under the guidance of a computer mind allows to stop 1,211 kg of metal, glass and plastics.
The AW Tomobile interior remained traditional, without unnecessary emotional jets, but it is extremely functional - all controls and switches are exactly where you expect to see them. The seat has a decent adjustment set and does not cause problems with configuring even a person suffering from chronic misunderstanding of what is happening.
Let's not forget about the rear passengers. They received more space compared to the previous generation. Four girlfriends elementary will occupy their honorary places, fasten with belts and, counting on a hard body and 6 airbags, go to their first travels with a friend at the new AW TomBile. And the luggage compartment will allow you to take a bunch of shoes, sneakers and other clothes, because the volume is no longer enough 347 liters. In addition, with a certain faith in good luck, you can withdraw a full-size spare wheel from the trunk and fill the released space.
All electronic innovations and simply useful functions that appeared in the fifth generation are quite standard set for AW Tombs class higher. In our case, they help girls convince their parents to buy this "machine", appealing to the terms "Quality" and "Security". The word price, perhaps, will not include in this list, but in any case the basic equipment will cost about $ 22,300. Given the various minimization activities, it is also possible to add air conditioning, thus dropping, thus several hundreds from the final price.

Volkswagen Golf GT - 170 horses from a tiny motor
Volkswagen Golf - AW Tomobil is no longer new and does not seem to prepare any discoveries. But the creators of AW Tomobila refresh their model. They equipped it by the engine that received the Grand Prix for technical innovation at the Competition "International Engine of The Year Award 2006".
Motor of 1.4 liters outputs power in 170 (!) L.S. This unit combined, it would seem incompatible. The turbine is responsible for "pickup" on high revs, and to avoid the so-called "turboyama", the engine is also equipped with a compressor that provides excellent acceleration on small revolutions. Due to this, the maximum torque - 240 nm - is achieved at 1750 rpm. The result is outstanding. At the same time, the creators argue that all innovations did not affect the resource.
Another reason for pride for the new engine is its economy. According to documents AW, TomBile does not eat more than 8 liters of fuel at 100 kilometers of the way. In fact, although the appetite turned out to be higher, the result is still worthy of respect. With the sharpest, uneconomical ride around the city, the on-board computer informs about the flow rate of 10.5-11 liters. And with a calm rhythm, you can keep in 6 liters. So the tank of 55 liters is enough for a long time.
Such decent dynamic characteristics allowed the creators to name their novelty GT. It turned out such an intermediate option between the usual Golf and Golf GTI. And behind the wheel, the absence of 30 horsepower, which does not give AW tomobyl add to its cocardic letter I, is absolutely not felt. "Hundred" This car conquers in 7.9 seconds. A 6-speed mechanic interacts with a new-fashioned motor. Moreover, unlike many models, all six gears are justified here. On the one hand, each of the steps is sufficiently long: if necessary, you can drive almost like a tomato on AW, not the "torment" lever of switching, on the other - for the most efficient acceleration, the transmissions have to be used quite often.
As for the appearance, we got a red copy for the test, very similar to her brother GTI, only the doors on it five, and not three. Large wheels, sparkling GT emblem on a radiator grille, a lowered landing - all this gives the animal soul in the usual body.
Inside, everything is as in GTI: comfortable seats, ascetic, but at the same time a stylish interior. Magnitol reads mp3, there is climate control. That is, all the vital needs of the modern buyer are taken into account. It is impressive and noise insulation, even at high speed in the cabin you can communicate, not straining voice ligaments.
As for the suspension, it is she who in a bundle with excellent handling and an excellent engine belongs to this AW Tombile to the category of "hot" hatchbacks. For civilian life AW, TomBile will seem harsh. But in turns to enter it or from a row to a number to rebuild at high speed - one pleasure. Many competitors can envy the stability of the car on the road.
Looks like Golf GT is the first hand of the new generation AW Tomobile. No wonder the engine was awarded such comments as: "This type of" hybrids "will set the tone in the next 10 years. Turbochargers and compressors leave a lot of space for research. I think this is a great start and definitely the best new engine "(Matt Davis, journalist, Italy). And at the cost of GT inferior to his brother GTI: This unique AW Tomobile is about $ 30 thousand in its own way.
Nikolai Zagozhkin
http://www.autonews.ru/
The new golf suggests the product of philosophical treatises. The latest achievements and trends of the AW Tomobyl industry, technical finds and marketing contradictions - all this came together in the long-awaited Volkswagen product. In essence, Golf is simple and vague - the casual AW Tomobyl for the "lower" class. However, how many passions and conflicts hides at him this simplicity! This is what I thought when on an equal footing with "nine" and "dozens", and a minute later with unreal speed and the unreal calm passed a typical urban turn in ninety degrees.
Where to start something? Probably with the fact that Golf has rose once again. And he asked this fashion thirteen years ago. Now everything is growing from generation to generation, we grow unrestrained: "Swedes and Koreans, Japanese and French, Italians and the British." Except that "Americans" are not growing - nowhere to grow. I wonder what will happen in a couple of decades? Golf will catch up Phaeton? Or Phaeton to that time it turns out to be the size of the kraz?
Here you are the first contradiction. Golf came close to the Passat, and in terms of the interior sizes, and on the equipment. And for the price. And strongly broke away from Polo. And the interval ariser to fill, alas, nothing. And this will necessarily take advantage of competitors. In addition, you should not forget that "it has become better" - about golf - it often means "became more". Too straight reception: the number is now issued for quality with a passing requirement to upset.
Meanwhile, Golf is really spacious than the predecessor. Especially clearly freedom feel the rear passengers, which now have no sharp problems with the placement of legs. And in general, the salon became "air". And this is the second trend. Let us call it "minivanization" - the desire to maximize the passenger compartment by increasing the roof line and shortening the nose. A similar method is practiced by the Japanese, and in Europe it is popularizing Peugeot 307. What does it say about? Golf for the first time for his "career" is forced to go on occasion, and not dictate own standards!
And with the design not everything is smooth. The crisis, comprehended by German school, is obvious. There is no movement forward, there is scaling and cosmetic correction as two main ways to obtain the next new model. Chris Bangle in incredible efforts and victims pulled BMW from a vicious circle, Martin Smith moved from the dead point Opel. Walter de Silva is now fighting in the Audi image. Radical solutions in the near future will have to take Murata Gunaku, the chef designer of the Volkswagen / Skoda / Bentley department. In the meantime, we see a strange symbiosis of technocratic respectability, Far Eastern motifs and biodide rudiments in the form of playful headlights and chubby rear lights.
Inside Golf is conservative and strict. If not new - and extremely successful - the central console, nothing would have changed at all. But on the part of the AW ergonomics, Tomobil is not different as flawless. Mutual arrangement of controls, adjustment ranges, the logic of the disposition and purpose of the buttons above all silence. Even with a detailed study there was only one "Syrinka": an adjustable lumbar subpoint, which supports at all and not lower, and the blades. But the seasons themselves if there is not enough, it is the most lumbar backpage. A three-spoke steering wheel with touch buttons is wonderful, the use of a wide platform for relaxing left legs. Good and trunk, capacious, simple and therefore optimal in shape.
However, Golf is convenient not only in terms of global things, but also in trifles. More precisely, fitness for trifles. Spacious pockets in the doors, coasters cooled by air conditioning "Bardac" and an armrest container, pull-out drawers under the front chairs ... just do not mention! So should be the leader in its class!
The growth of the mass of the car demanded other, large wheels. From now on, the standard size of the Golf "shoes" will be R16 New design of the trunk cover handle promises hand clean. If the emblem itself was still not dirty ...
In the segment "C" or nevertheless a certain special golf class? The segment "with" speech seems to not go: compare the "fifth" Golf with such machines as Seat Leon, Toyota Corolla or Mitsubishi Lancer, simply incorrectly. Golf once again left the rivals overtaking, raising the bet. It is in the state of the "Noteform" Audi A3 and the already announced BMW first series. The company "Advanced" Alfa Romeo 147, Fiat Stilo, Ford Focus, Peugeot 307 and Renault Megane II, alas, turns out to be in the angroup. The remaining machines of the segment "C" are not at all "Face control" in today's golf class. Let's see what the new Opel Astra and Ford Focus II will be offered, the debut of which is scheduled for autumn. In the meantime, Golf is ready to attack the machines of the "D" segment, and among its victims are Alfa Romeo 156, Citroen C5, Ford Mondeo, Opel Vectra and Renault Laguna.
Golf is convincing: the "base" includes six airbags, air conditioning, a disabled anti-test ASR system. And here it is not original: it is necessary to follow in Kilwater 147th Alpha, four years ago, we defined fundamentally new standards for a configuration of such class machines. As for the list of options, it is huge: there is everything that is offered for models of class "D", and much of the "E" segment to which prestigious business sedans are.
And what about quality? The situation is as follows. No complaints for materials and assembly: everything is at the highest level. However, there are punctures, especially noticeable as the background of the general achievements of AW Tomobile, and compared with much more accessible "Japanese". The doors are closed with effort, the windows of the windows are tugged. Will you say pickups? The negatives are corrected, but it is worth the car is not so little.
Golf "germination" in the top classes of Volkswagents are funny trying to compensate for the line of motors, quite relevant to the requirements of the "C" segment, but not the corresponding mass of the machine. For a 1200-kilogram AW Tomobila, 1.4-liter engines with a capacity of 75 and 90 horsepower! Nonsense! It is good that they are not officially supplied to Russia. After all, even with a 1.6-liter 102-strong engine, like the "Our" car, do not really get up. The motor pulls it even smoothly, without enthusiasm, at the same time grimitly grumbling. Soon the 115-strong FSI engine with the immediate layer injection of fuel is also hardly solved by the problem. All hope for a two-liter power unit with a capacity of 150 "horses", the price of such a car is from 26 thousand dollars. There are still diesel engines to which interest is increasing and from us. According to the representatives of Volkswagen, the Russians suddenly willingly acquire golfs with a 140-strong Turbodiesel.
And the golf is simply needed a good motor! In my opinion, the main advantage of AW Tomobila is an amazing chassis. The smoothness of the stroke, the energy intensity of the suspension and, as a result, the tolerance of our roads is all with it. The steering wheel is completely isolated from irregularities: the shocks and vibrations are not transmitted to it when driving even decent choseli. At high speed AW, the tommobile is amazingly stable - both direct and turns. Handling - Song! Smooth, but supereful reactions, the ideal saturation of the feedback steering, complete "transparency" of reactive efforts allow you to unconditionally trust the car from the first meters of the track. The car comes precisely on the trajectory on which it is directed at the entrance to the turn: no poveltov and the "dissipation" of the steering wheel will not be required. It goes, barely damaging and tightly clutching into the asphalt. If deliberately striking, Golf is angry, but it will be a side slip with a slight emphasis on the front axle at the beginning and on the rear-in the final stage. All controlled and always begging. It is impossible to bypass in German impeccable operation of mechanics: the reference clarity of gear shifting, the accuracy of the drive of the outdoor gas pedal and the highest efficiency of the brakes.
The driving sensations say that on the setting of the chassis, the new Golf can be put in one row with Audi A4 and the third BMW series. It does not allow this to finally make only "dead" motor and mediocre noise insulation. The shelney of the tires is easily penetrating into the salon, he has accompanied the already mentioned dummy sound of the engine, and here is a good jack from aerodynamic noise.
Considering Golf in the separation from the surrounding market environment, it is necessary to admit that it has become more convenient, better, perfect. This is "in the absolute". And in the existing coordinate system, everything looks like a loss of control over the situation. Expansion of the internal volume, the growth of the list of standard equipment, the evolution of security systems, the progress of the running characteristics led to the weighting of the machine. And there is no adequate energy-carrying out of the "green" in the environmental sense. In turn, the "pull-up" engines to the proper level will emphasize the already obvious fact: by going to the "Fifth Class", Golf is irretrievably rose. This means the expansion of the golf class into a new market segment, which potential customers and competitors remain either accept or boycott. The first option looks dramatic, but preferable.

However, this is the most space that in the eyes of our compatriot is not prestigious. Yes, inside it is a little more. But outside it is almost the same! But it looks worse, for the microaw tobus utility is not in width. Here will appear Jetta with the lengthening prestige of the trunk - then there will be a way to pay extra, but already - for the notorious length. And for the height of rally not accepted - if, of course, we are not talking about the SUV. So, for the already cheap golf centimeters in the height and lightweight "vagonism" - obviously not plus.
Although, of course, Plus has plus - it is undoubtedly. Inside the car actually grown, and first of all - for rear seat passengers. This is who can really appreciate the advantages of the essential golf. And there are no legs where to move and head where to turn. And if the rear of passengers is not assumed, then the supplient owner itself is assessed by additional space: the rear row of seats moves on the sled, allowing you to increase the useful volume of the trunk if necessary. By the way, in the trunk, another plus was attached - a double floor, the essence of the regiment, which can be installed in such a way that there will be a little free space for luggage in it.
And if you do not take into account the supporting frame of windshield triangles, which are now found on ordinary - right up to sedans! - AW Tomobila's passenger, then Golf Plus will be very close to truly ordinary machines. Much closer to those compactnesnov, which we marked as competitors "Plus" Volkswagen.
"Split" Golf, I give rise to the same feelings as modern diesel engines: interesting, practical, convenient. But in our conditions - meaningless: being quite expensive pleasure, it does not add a prestige car and does not justify convenience, because it turns out to be no one. Still, we have a foreign car - this is not just a means of movement, but also a very serious imaging. And the compactment is still not too honorable thing, although more expensive. Golf Plus, despite all his midwives, seem quite passenger, does not seem to be. A simple golf with an image is all much better - as the rear seats and the hollow of the trunk.

Problems with design? Maybe. Now only the lazy does not kick the entire concern Volkswagen AG (wholesale and retail) for the appearance of Skoda, Audi and, of course, products from Wolfsburg. There, at Volkswagen AG headquarters - a simple parallelepiped with a simple parallelepiped, - the Citadel of the Universal Evil. There were betrayed by the idea of \u200b\u200b"national AW Tomobilla" in favor of luxury and ended price tags.
So? Yes and no. Yes - because the current "folks" differ from the famous brand of the Kafer model as well as the F-16 fighter from the airplane of the Right brothers. No - because the people have changed to no less. Although the "people" may not, and the German Das Volk - for sure. And if in the post-war (frankly, not very full) years, the burghers needed a cheap vehicle, now they have separate climates, airbags and ESP in the basic configuration. And so that all this worked without breaking and running around the AW tobanam, a hundred thousand kilometers.
So, the people need a "minced me". And mince, as you know, costs money. Moreover, before getting them from the consumer, the manufacturer must invest considerable means to develop this "mince". And then there is a problem, familiar to every German and confirmed by the experience of two world wars, is the problem of limited resources. In other words, it is necessary to decide what to develop - "minced" or "shell".
The choice is painfully. Honda, for example, when developing the last Sivik, made a choice in favor of appearance. The fee for this is a serious simplification of the chassis, and therefore manageability. Whether this consumes is a question. And this question takes the Germans from VW no less than the Japanese from Honda. However, Volkswagen his way seems to choose. Looks like the Germans prefer mince. And they wanted to spit on the packaging. Therefore, when developing a VW Golf Plus, the task of designers was not universal. No revelations - simply disguise the ten-centimeter increase in the height, which, in fact, is the same Plus in the name.
With the task, the designers coped. Additional centimeters got the front wings (nose of the "plus" noticeably massive) and the roof racks - with the same angle of tilt "begin" they are much earlier. To
And you can bare a language before the bones, claiming that all this is too conservative and traditionally. That designer solutions for which the fifth Golf is built in the original and "plus" performance, two more "golf" were applied back. Yes, applied. But on the VW Golf III, it is still possible to look without disgust, and Renault Megane's debuting three years ago, but simply causes gastric spasms. Fashion, see whether, in the correspondence,, unlike traditions. This instinctively feels the consumer and perfectly understood inside the simple parallelepiped in Wolfsburg. This, if you want, - democracy in German. Voice of the people. That is, as it was said elsewhere and in another language - Glory of God ...

The "fifth" golf platform is a sample of technical perfection. And not only. This is a breakthrough, as a result of which the standards of road quality professionable in the business class came to a more democratic segment and became available to a wide range of buyers. True, while only golf shoppers. And, unfortunately, not Russian - because we use the greatest demand with a version with a 1.6-liter motor in 102 horsepower, which is simply not able to reveal the potential of this wonderful chassis. And more powerful modifications in Russia are indecent road.
And the "compact holdel" Golf Plus - there: again a small motor 1.6, and even burdened by the AW Tomatic box. And what can you do - only such a combination allows you to keep the price of this car within reasonable limits. Acceleration depressingly, almost smallerly evenly and emotional. For adequate work "AW Tomato" engine litter is clearly not enough, and only sports mode "S" gives the operation of the power plant some consistency. From the manual mode of use, slightly: fuss more, and the speaker does not improve.
Plus is a 10-centimeter increase in altitude, the negative impact of which the engineers tried to compensate for the use of more rigid shock absorbers. These metamorphoses could destroy the fragile balance of driving characteristics, if the adaptability and extensive capabilities were not among the main trumps of the Golf Chassis. The hoods of the plus are as academic, as well as the "original" hatchback, and can be described by exclusively enthusiastic epithets. Absolutely solid nature with exquisite manners - soft, fast and accurate - and intuitive algorithms for changes in efforts on management bodies. Yes, the car turned out to be tougher than "just Golf", but the suspension works extremely qualitatively, elastically, not allowing shaking or - soak God - breakdowns. Breed!
Another question is how much concessions in terms of comfort in the name of the best manageability generally correspond to the concept of family AW Tomobile. Apparently, in Germany, with her roads, the problem of smoothness is simply not arising, while handling is regarded as the most important component of the active safety complex. We have, as usual, the opposite is. Therefore, the usual Golf has more advantages than Golf Plus.

In 2003, Volkswagen released the first car on the newest PQ35 platform. He collected all the most advanced, which was only the concern. Golf V could not but become a breakthrough. The body rang out in size, a multi-dimensione appeared in the rear suspension, the onboard electronics was now organized on a single tire with food hubs and a high degree of systems integration. Golf could boast engines with direct injection, predatory DSG boxes and optional full-wheel drive.
At the same time, the complexity of the structure and the continuation of the trend on the decline in maintainability remained behind the sneress.
With the advent of the new golf C-class became more, more difficult and friendly. The PQ35 platform and the PQ46 belonging to it became the base for tens of concern models over the next ten years. So a lot of "relatives" at the model, but he never waited for restyling. But already in 2008 his successor appeared.
The popularity and community of the platform made many models of the designer whose blocks of which can be mixed, connect in an arbitrary order and "upgrade". True, it is not always easy as in the case of an ordinary personal computer, but still.
Design and ergonomics quality standards, as defined in 2003, are relevant and understood. And therefore, it is the fifth golf preserves attractiveness and now, despite even all its shortcomings that he, to confess, is enough.
Body
I do not get tired of repeating that the letters "ZZZ" in Vinpholxwagen has nothing to do with galvanized, and the galvanized itself is not a mythical way to prevent rust in principle, but only one of the elements of multi-level anti-corrosion protection. Moreover, in addition to the advantages of galvanized has at least one major drawback: poor adhesion of soil to the metal. As a result, the car with the "real" galvanism often suffer from the seating of paintwork on a large area even with its small damage.

Yes, Golf V is excellent galvanized - almost all elements of the body are made of galvanized sheet. The car is also very good, and all the vulnerable places are maximally covered with plastic. But now the first cars of this series are already more than fifteen years, and the youngest ten. And it is hoped for the fact that the strong corrosion of Golf does not happen, as well as naive, how to look for a virgin in the house of tolerance. There are no chances: the body has many problem areas, each of which needs to be checked for the state and capabilities of "treatment".
Pay attention is primarily on the area between the front wing and the threshold. The dirt accumulates behind the locker, and corrosion paves the way along the threshold, along the wing and up the body's rack. The threshold is inclined to sandblasting, and the paint begins to fly by pieces at the slightest mechanical damage. While the cars were new, there were those who did not paint such damage to months, counting on galvanized and not knowing how it acts. And zinc on the panels is inclined to end, after which the thresholds are successfully rotated. Yes, and just accumulate inside the threshold and the molding of dirt and moisture will destroy it over time. Therefore, the coating should be applied, and the roots of rust - eliminate.
Volkswagen Golf (TYP 1K) "2003-08 The edges of the arches and joints of the wings and bumpers are also usually striking. Frozen in the cremes of ice, discharged plastic clips of fastenings of bumpers, dirt and vibrations are gradually weakened on these parts of the LCP, and the rust is gradually climbing out.
Corrosion of the rear door is the traditional trouble of all hatchbacks and universal, which by the party and Golf V. It is not as much as the predecessor, but still there are almost small traces on any car.
The edge of the roof and the hood - places, as traditionally prone to the appearance of corrosion. In the case of golf, the case is complicated by the fact that in mechanical damage to the paint peels with large pieces, and for some reason rust rusts fast enough.
The hood sometimes rusts not on the edge, but from the inside, at the junction of the amplifier, on the side of the side. And not necessarily replaced during repairs, but also original.
17 662 ruble
The revolutionary design of the doors with a removable external metal panel allows to reduce the cost of repairs with small damage that do not affect the door frame, and the price of the car assembly. But the outer panel turned out to be fine and fragile: the rolling in the front and lower parts is easily bent due to ice and snow between Door and threshold or wing. Yes, and the mechanical damage to the panel is not a rack: it is easy to rush and scratched. The junction of the outer panel and the frame can be chosen by corrosion, which gradually pumped the door from the inside. But I repeat: Repair is relatively inexpensive.
Volkswagen Golf (TYP 1K) "2003-08 And still look at the door molding, from which noticeable corrosion often looks like.
The bottom is usually everything is very decent. If the car did not beat, did not "bathe" and did not put every winter in a snowdrift, then Golf will give odds to more young "Japanese."
It is only worth assessing the state of the subframes and the elements of the suspension. There are also cars on which they tried to conquer off-road: the spars scratched, the plastic protection of the bottom, lockers and so on. In such cases, nothing is often saved.
Golf headlands gentle, sanded easily, and lens reflectors burn out. The mirrors can corrode aluminum brackets, and doors handles - seal.

Traditionally, for cars on this database, door seals have a limited resource, and in the absence of care they often lose tightness, deteriorating comfort. Special lubricants and timely replacement are helped. Without additional seals, there is enough of the average for five to eight years.
Headlight

Sealing chrome, black lining of the door racks, breakdowns of bumper fasteners The loss of their elements are also found often: age already makes itself felt.
Sometimes you can encounter power windows and door locks. This is not uncommon, but is not an obsessive problem.
Salon
In the cabin at Golf V, even in the simplest equipment, there are soft plastic, and good materials. And the salons are expensive able to impress those who do not get out of limousines. But ... yes, age is ruthless to everything. Something can crack, something to break due to non-accurate circulation. And here you can find traces of "upgrades" and alterations.
Pens, glove box cover, numerous decorative plugs and lining, rear cup holder and even floor gas pedal are falling into the risk area. The pedal is removed from the base when the snow is accumulated under it.
Volkswagen Golf (TYP 1K) "2003-08 The skin of the steering wheel is usually before running for 200 thousand, he is kept, although it begins to unnaturally glitter. And at the same time, the driver with rings on the fingers can break it only for several tens of thousands of run.
Fabric seats are not afraid of anything, except for the root of heating mats. But the sidelines suffer from the "solokina". In addition, they are often robbed and just quickly rub off.
The car's climatic systems are quite different, from fully manual to double-zone automatic climate control. Wear a fan system can be expected during runs for 200 thousand. Typically help cleaning and lubrication, the benefit here the front panel is collapsible, and half the design is available behind the glove compartment. Valeo's motors can deny when run times in two less, but here as lucky. Yes, and the smooth start system can add trouble when diagnosing: just check the motor, feeding the power directly - the idea is not very good.
Automatic climate control systems are quite a lot. Systems until 2007 and after different parts, so the simple "upgrade" of the first editions of the climate panel from Golf VI is fraught with the failures of the recycling system due to changes in the damper operation scheme. Therefore, things like an expansion of temperature range and automatic recycling on the sensor will require several more work than replacing the climate block itself. At least - replacement of mine 1K1 820 303 D. And most often also changes in wiring. But they have common problems, wear of the drivers of dampers and the malfunction of the control unit. Characteristic crackling says, most likely, that the reducer will have to be replaced. Well, the control units are sometimes treated with a scanner, and sometimes you have to repair a block. Control blocks until 2007 have a gentle covering of buttons and cleanly visually look worn, but in operation they are more reliable than intelligent later.
Volkswagen Golf GTI "2004 But most harm the salon attempts to a variety of improvements made by handicrafts. Plocks, new abnormal firmware, all sorts of RCD 300-310 replacements on RNS, installation of Chinese head devices, alarms, covers, new armrests, overlays, panels, ventilation nozzles, and everything else. Usually work is carried out not very professionally, and reinforcement work end with the use of abnormal fasteners, the appearance of unnecessary gaps and other troubles. Yes, and failures in electronics after this "improving" is usually a lot.
Electrician and electronics
An advanced electrical scheme and comparatively budget execution have its consequences. Complex wiring is afraid of vibration, insulation and corrosion disorders. And the banal doors' wiring problems may have far-reaching effects due to the high degree of integration of the blocks. In general, be prepared for the fact that in the case of which the electrician you will need an expensive and knowing the car on this platform "from and to".
Volkswagen Golf (TYP 1K) "2003-08 There are also breakdowns of executive mechanisms. Especially - in the first, the oldest Golf. Fortunately, self-diagnosis is here at a good level, but without VCDS (it is - Vasya-diagnostic), it is better to even approach the car. A climb without a disclaim to activate everything, to use the services of non-professional and read on the Internet "recipes" is often fraught with a long search for problems and equipment repairs.
Brakes, Pendants and Steering
There is no complaints to the brake system, especially with regard to low-power versions. But due to age, you already need to follow the condition of the tubes and hoses.
Refuses of the ABS block are rare, the sensors are also submitted. The resource of the original elements is more than high, but finding a ten-year VW, serviced with original components, is difficult. But the choice of Chinese and European brands is great. And the resource will depend on how much they paid for spare parts.

The suspension at current times is quite traditional: MacPherson in front and multi-dimensione from behind. Usually to run in a hundred thousand it takes a serious repair of the rear suspension. In the front suspension in a regular replacement there are stabilizer racks. Behind everything depends on how heavy passengers you take.
The hub bearings are poorly withstanding the non-standard departure of wheels and 18-inch discs on the "isolate". If it is very pulling, look for enhanced bearings in the catalogs - they are there.
Volkswagen Golf (TYP 1K) "2003-08 Steering on the fifth golf - with an electric powerful, and the rake - the first generation zf. Early outlets are not sinful. After 200-250 thousand, the likelihood of failure of the moment sensor increases, but it was learned to restore the repairs of the loop. Otherwise, the mechanism turned out to be reliable, a little prone to the stacks and resistant to traditional errors in handling the steering control. And yet it is afraid of leakage, especially the right gland, breakdowns of electronics, water from entering the connectors and crazy craftsmen who climb into the control blocks with their unwashed hands.
Volkswagen Golf (TYP 1K) "2003-08 In a word, until it is impossible to say that Golf V is a capricious machine that needs to be caught as far as possible. But everything can change in the engine dedicated to the motors and the boxes of this car. Yes, yes, there will be about all sorts of TSI IDSG. And although it will be already the tenth time, it must still be interesting.
This car was and had to be called like a wind, but received his name from Golf Stream. The most sold Volkswagen car. Take above - the most successful car in Europe. The car-name - in honor of him called the whole class of the car, the legend car - over 40 years of Golf history has sold more than 30 million cars of this model.
the site begins its new project "generation" from him - worldwide and all-economists of the favorite "Golification". We will tell you how VW Golf changed, on which copies of this iconic model our users drive and what is thinking about the car is one of the representatives of the brand in the country.
We are familiar with: seven "golf", seven owners and one technical specialist.
Volkswagen Golf I and Sergey
The production of GOLF of the first generation began in 1974. Car Design Developed Italian Designer Georgetto Judjaro.
The first generation VW Golf was represented by 3- and 5-door hatchbacks, a 4-door Jetta sedan and an open convertible.
Produced in two versions (basic and suite), had a large set of options: the rear window washer, the "janitor", a sliding hatch in the roof, a locking gas tank and wheels with cast discs.
Here, for the first time, VW applied the front transverse engine location and front-wheel drive. In the line of engines at first there were a 1.5-liter 70-strong engine and a 1,1-liter 50-horsepower engine. By the end of the 70s, the model range was replenished: 1.5 liters of diesel engine appeared (50 liters with.) And 1.3 liters of gasoline (60 l. P.). Version 1.5 received a new 1.5-liter engine in 1977, and the new 55-strong diesel came to shift the old in 1981.
In September 1975, in Frankfurt, the GTI version was shown - with ventilated brake discs, transverse stability stabilizers and increased to 110 liters. from. Engine capacity, she went on sale in 1976 with a maximum speed of 173 km / h and overclocking to hundreds for 9.6 s.
In 1981, the model was equipped with automatic transmission, and also replaced the engine for GTI and a convertible: instead of 1.6-liter appeared 1.8 liters (112 liters) - the maximum speed immediately increased to 188 km / h, overclocking until hundreds decreased to 8.1 s.
Golf I was released until 1983, about 6 million cars left the conveyor, about half a million were in the GTI modification.Sergey Borisik:
- At that time this car had a very modern design, plus it was available at a price. It was impossible to find flaws.
Even cars that are exploited for a long time in our climate, to this day less corrosion than some modern.
"Always melted on old cars, but there was no possibility - because for such love you need money". Machines with history in the life of the SERGEY have appeared thanks to Discovery TV channel and Machinators type programs (Wheeler Dealers):" I am not the fan of "golf" - just love beautiful old cars". But Golf had before: the second, third and fourth generation." Now the 1st became the last"By the way, your first generation Golf and the Senior Son Sergey - the family understands the sense in such cars.
Sergey - Golf I in the configuration of GTI Trophy. In the vehicle's vehosparer, the year of release is not defined, "but the owner knows exactly - this" golf "was born in 1982. To Sergey, the car fell in 2011 - "in a state, of course, below average, although not dead," and until 2013 he was restored.
His car owner searched for a very long time: " It seems to be the first "golfs" enough, I was looking for a modification of GTI. Traveled all Belarus, even looked in Russia. But they came across: people put a 1.8 l motor in "golf" - and already screaming that GTI.". This Golf i as a result of all searches was discovered ... at a neighbor.
- I bought for $ 700, invested more than 5 thousand. About a thousand it took only that she started and went, they repaired an injector and everything connected with him. Everything else under the hood is native. Body how many winters in the previous owner survived - no problem.
Sergey himself today saves the car - it goes only in the summer, in winter it stores in a warm garage. But, in principle, says any problems can be solved: the engine costs about 1.5 million rubles, the body was just recently ceased to produce in South Africa. " In fact, you can collect a new "golf" - you want a convertible, you want a sedan: the eternal constructor".
- Who does not understand, he can say something unpleasant, and who loves old cars - the baldette from one kind of my Golf. Show: "Well done, cool!". I am very pleased.
Volkswagen Golf II and Svetlana
The second "golfs" became a logical continuation of the first: the same recognizable design lines, the same round headlights. The car has become more spacious: the length has increased by 300 mm, the width is 55 mm.
The line of the engines was very wide: 1.1 l, 1.3 liters, several 1.6 liters, 1.8 liters. Motor power often "swimming", almost everyone had several versions. There was also a GTI with a 1.8-liter engine already mentioned (112 liters.) And disk brakes on all wheels. But the second generation was heavier the first per 100 kg - and, despite the excellent chassis, Golf II GTI lost easier the first predecessors until GTI with a 16-valve motor with a capacity of 139 liters appeared. from.
This "golf" was equipped with a catalyst, ABS and a hydraulicer. Moreover, four-wheel drive (syncro) appears in the same generation.
The second generation of Golf was released until December 1992, almost 6 million copies came from the conveyor, even with the appearance of the third demand for him was very high.VOLKSWAGEN official importer master trainer in Belarus Sergey Borisik:
- Golf II is a favorite model of car owners of our country: they once had ever traveled on them, almost in every family they were once ... I often hear, they might if you could buy such a car new from the conveyor - nothing is better want.
The first "golf" on the salon and decoration is very Spartan, the second is more comfortable. A huge trunk appeared - from his volume with a folded back of the dackets still delighted.
The weak point of the second "golf" is the body: despite the fact that much attention was paid to the anti-corrosion treatment, when driving on our "salt" corrosion roads, he gnaws.
In the family of Svetlana, two "golf" of the second generation. This 1985 release, with a gasoline engine of 1.3 liters.
- We have this car a little over a year. When buying specifically, they were not focused on "golf" - just wanted a budgetary car, preferably "German." Such and got: it cost 2 thousand dollars, fuel consumption - about 5 liters - happy daily.
Of course, according to the recognition of Svetlana, at first I had to invest: " With the carburetor there was a problem, on the chassis changed a lot, now the steering wheel shakes a little ...".
On the second family "golf", with a motor of 1.6 liters, family with two children went to Crimea: " More than 5 thousand km wound there - back - a very profitable trip was published with a fuel consumption of 6 liters per hundred".
The owner of his car characterizes briefly: " There are no complaints - a devoted friend and reliable comrade".
Volkswagen Golf III and Daniel
For the first time, Golf III was shown in 1991 at the Geneva Motor Show. A car was produced to 1998, and in 1992 he received the title of "Car of the Year". The third generation had a much larger number of modifications - to the traditional 3- and 5-door hatchbacks (the sedan on its basis is traditionally for VW of those times was called Vento) 5-door Wagon Variant was added.
For the first time in the classroom, the VR-shaped "six" was established 2.8 liters (174 liters with.), The first diesel GTI of 1.9 liters of TDI (110 liters s.).
The car has become more, more convenient and safer. Form has changed significantly: from the Golf's workhorse turned into France. It was he who asked all followers to all followers, the classic golf class began.
For all time, almost 5 million third "golf" was produced, of which more than 200 thousand - a station wagon in the body.VOLKSWAGEN official importer master trainer in Belarus Sergey Borisik:
- This Golf has become more difficult, more electronic systems have appeared, but this does not worsen his running qualities: if something breaks - he rides, but it becomes just the second "golf".
Again, a weak place is the body: hard to him, poor, cope with corrosion - even harder than the previous model.
This third "Golf" of 1993 released in the Daniel family appeared in 2010. I purchased it in autoconfiscate when I was looking for the first car for my wife - the car was seized from some Lithuanian for smuggling. " At first, I looked after the "Lada" of the first model there, but I noticed next to Golf - it had air conditioning and gas equipment. It cost 2,200 dollars, such an amount was not planned for cars - they took a loan and never regretted it".
On the third "golfish" Daniel traveled all over Europe - drove to Spain.
- In 2012, we went with my wife. The car was in the "squeak" state, unpacked, with a crack on the glass. Polish customs officer, having seen us, was surprised: "Pan rides in Spain on this car?! Pan on this car will not reach!"As a smoothed, recalls the owner," the roller of the generator belt broke on the German autobahn. Now Daniel thinks that he himself was partly to blame: " At first, it was not very disassembled in the spare parts - I bought that they were offered. This is just a cheapest Chinese movie ..."
Since then, the owner of the third "golf" tries to act proactively: " Something stumbled, Zareko - immediately understand, Chiny". And problems, says, does not know with the car.
Volkswagen Golf IV and Artem
Golf IV was produced from 1997 to 2004 - just over 4 million cars. In comparison with the previous generation, it became longer by 131 mm, wider by 30 mm, and the wheelbase increased by 39 mm. The fourth Golf outside is difficult to distinguish from the third, but inside it has changed very seriously. ESP debuted here, there was an all-wheel drive version with the VR6 engine (204 liters.) And the Haldex Viscounts in the transmission, the first engine with direct injection, side airbags ...
In 2002. Volkswagen released the first Golf R32 with a maximum speed of 250 km / h - huge wheels 225/40 R18, lowered suspension, 3.2-liter V6 (241 liters), which is now raised to the Phaeton representative model.
This model was released until 2004.VOLKSWAGEN official importer master trainer in Belarus Sergey Borisik:
- In this generation, Golf first received a fully galvanized body and, as a result, a 12-year warranty from end-to-end corrosion.
There was a transparent optics here, by the way, there was a lot of complaints from customers: the headlights are not completely closed systems, the air falls in them - and the condensate is settled on the reverse side.
The Golf GTI of the 4th generation of Artem has been two years old. Four of the 2003 release, Motor 1.8 turbo, 180 liters. from. - Excellent instance of "American". Moreover, this machine is one of the 4200 auto anniversary release of Volkswagen Golf GTI 20th Anniversary Edition.
- Just love for the fourth Golf- with a smile explains his choice first after the driving school of the car Artem. He bought a car in Minsk, then for 10 thousand dollars. " My "golf" came broken from America, in Grodno his previous owner gathered, made it and was traveled for five years. Then there was another owner - in Minsk, and then my gti got to me".
Artem says that he has practically no problems with this machine, but in general with spare parts for this modification, serious difficulties. " For gti spare parts or expensive, or simply not. By engine or box, for example, it is very problematic to find. Accessories are also not easy: even a gti signboard will not find, or ask for crazy money - about $ 100, the cape branded on the seat Recaro GTI - 600 dollars".
- I broke somehow an external shrus - an expensive item, about $ 180. Or, on the car wash, the border, and the "lip" burst - I feel, I will have a problem.
Despite everyone, Artem in his car is just in love. At some point, it recognizes, I thought to sell, change, maybe something more serious - but " i look at today's prices in the market - and I understand that for this money there is nothing better than my "golf". And I will not give my own".
Volkswagen Golf V and Dmitry
For the first time, Golf V was shown in October 2003 at the Frankfurt Motor Show, it was created on the Volkswagen Group A5 platform (PQ35). The fifth "golf" became greater: 57 mm longer than 24 mm and above 39 mm, the trunk volume rose to 347 liters. Auto is presented by three- and five-door hatchbacks in three different equipment - Trendline, ComfortLine and Sportline.
At different years, atmospheric gasoline engines (including with the direct injection of the FSI series, as well as the supervised TSI) of 1.4 L (75-90 l, 122-170 l.), 1,6 l (102 liters. and 115 liters.) and 2.0 l (150 l. p.) Diesel engines were represented by 1.9 TDI (90-105 liters.) And 2.0 TDI (140 liters p.). The modification of the GTI was completed with a 2.0 TFSI engine (200 liters.).
VW Golf V was released about 3 million copies.VOLKSWAGEN official importer master trainer in Belarus Sergey Borisik:
- Rear suspension changed - instead of the beam appeared multi-dimensional, respectively, the comfort has increased.
On this fifth Golf 2006, Dmitry is released only sometimes - the car belongs to relative. But our user knows about it - as, however, and other VW - all: he is the creator and Administrator of the Volkswagen club in Belarus. " How much I already have rights - so much I go to VW. The third and fourth "golf", in the family there were the third and fifth "Passats". We are now simultaneously two "golf" - II and III, Tiguan and Passat B7".
This, the fifth, Golf generation, according to him, is a machine with an excellent diesel engine 1.9 liters, 105 liters. from.
- Economical, comfortable in the city and frisky on the highway (6 mCP), maneuverable, low consumption - you can almost "sleep" to drive into Europe and back.
As for servicing the car of this generation, according to Dmitry, - no problems: " For spare parts, they are largely interchangeable and third, and from the fourth ".
- Replacing planned to do - and there will be no surprises. Now I drove, I feel that the brake discs are time to change, on idle pulls a little - but it goes and will ride. The main thing is to follow the car.
Volkswagen Golf VI and Alexey
Golf VI is created on the same platform as the car of the previous generation - Volkswagen Group A5 (PQ35) Platform, and for this generation quickly called "five and a half", they say, nothing new. The car was presented at the Paris Motor Show in October 2008.
At first, Golf VI was produced in the 3- and 5-door body of the hatchback, later the wagon and compactment Golf Plus joined them. In 2011, a convertible appeared.
For the first time, this Golf was supposed to be so "favorite" by all DSG box - 6-speed with wet clutch and 7-speed with dry.
The model was released until 2012.VOLKSWAGEN official importer master trainer in Belarus Sergey Borisik:
- A huge number of different security systems appeared in the car: a driving prevention system, ABS with braking assistant, ESP of a new generation ...
This Golf of the 6th generation of 2009 release for Alexey is "Favorite Tank".
- First car - how not to love…
Motor 1.4 TSI, an average of 6.8 liters per hundred, 122 horses, manual transmission. Alexey drove this Golf from Germany a year and a half ago - with all expenses cars cost $ 17,700, during this time 55 thousand km drove in Belarusian roads. " Very cheerfully drives"," characterizes "Golfik" owner.
- I will not say that Golf wanted exactly - chose between them and Audi A3. But those who know people advised "Golf" precisely for his reliability - and indeed, for a year and a half no complaints.
Alexey does not swear, which will love "golfs" forever: in his plans to change it on the car more - for example, Passat CC. But now the situation on the market, unfortunately, does not contribute to favorable exchanges.
Volkswagen Golf VII and Tatiana
For the first time, the car was shown in 2012 at the Paris Auto Show. In March 2013, Golf VII received the title of "car of the year in Europe", at the International Auto Show in New York in the same year. Also "car of the year in Japan." For 33 years, this premium received exclusively cars of Japanese manufacturers, and in 2013 it got Golf VII.
Compared to the previous generation, the car has become longer than 5.6 centimeters, wider and below 1.3 and 3 centimeters, respectively. The wheelbase increased by 6 centimeters, and inside the car it became spacious. Golf VII weighs 100 kg less than the sixth. Here already in the database, the start-stop system, the color touch screen in the center console, the tire pressure indicator and the braking function preventing repeated collisions.
The choice of four motors, all turbocharged and low-consultant: 1.2 TSI (85 and 105 liters.) And 1.4 TSI (122 and 140 l.). In Europe, there are still diesel options.
VOLKSWAGEN official importer master trainer in Belarus Sergey Borisik:
- There were incredibly many help systems for the driver, which in such quantities and quality have so far been available only in the representatives of the representative class.
When they say about the seventh "golf", immediately remember the Volkswagen Group MQB modular platform: earlier on one platform released several types of cars - Golf, Touran, Golf Plus, and now there are several modules, and such a system will be applied at all on all auto concern. For example, Passat B 8 from the engineering point of view is practically poured Golf VII.
Golf VII with a 1.4 TSI engine and a MCPP owner acquired in a dealer salon in September 2013. This car was not the only option - for a long time they chose between similar at the price and configuration by machines. - They say men can not be compared, and cars before purchase - you can even need, - Laughs the owner. She looked at Audi A3 Sportback, Toyota Camry and Avensis, Skoda Octavia and Yeti. " I used to have a VW Golf Plus. But Volkswagen is not the car that I saw - and immediately "Wow!". Here Audi A3, in my opinion, very beautiful - headlights, grille of the radiator ... But you get behind the wheel - and something is missing. The strange decoration of the front console, these round air deflectors, the radio, the radio is not thought out ... Skoda liked, but there were not enough visits from behind. But in the "golf" village, drove - not heard, how the engine works, comfortable, all at hand, all "its". And it is for the feelings he "Wow!".
Tatiana is pleased and then: " Eats "it is about 6 liters per hundred on average with the stated 6.8 liters, the first planned technical services cost me 800 thousand.".
- Sports, businesslike, elegance is all that I need to emphasize me. All I wanted. About the seventh "Golf" is unlikely to someone can say something bad.
Change Golf on Golf
At the meeting, we offered users to exchange cars *, which is called, without looking - pull the random envelope in which the keys and documents from the GOLF of another generation lay. 
The owner of the Golf I GTI Sergey got - to his great joy! - fourth GTI; Svetlana - the mistress of the second "golf" - I had to transfer to the first; Daniel sat in the Svetlana car and handed over his Golf III Alexey, which usually rides the sixth; The owner of the charged "Four" Artem moved to Golf V, the driver of the fifth "golp" went behind the wheel of Golf VI.
* Golf 7 and its owner Tatyana did not participate in the exchange of cars.
- This is Golf. The first or sixth is just Golf. Native, familiar - at least with closed eyes- If you do not go into the technical nuances of each specific instance of our users, they were united.
For those and love.
The name of the Volkswagen Golf car has long been nominable. A VW Golf 5 can be considered one of the standards of the European C-class. The fifth golf does not lose relevance over the years, the numerous wishes to buy cars used. Volkswagen Golf 5 with mileage remains one of the most sought-after cars on the used car market. To help make the right choice to your readers, we collected, analyzed and structured information about disadvantages, malfunctions and weak points of the car: what to pay attention to, buying a golf 5 b / y. We were helped by the reviews of the owners of VW Golf 5 at car forums.
Body and Salon Golf 5 with mileage
To speak as a whole, this item of our analysis can be safely written in the positive parties Golf V:
- The body adequately opposes corrosion. Find some rust on this car is quite difficult, even in places of chipping.
- The bottom is designed to take into account the unpleasant effect of salt and dirt - the most important elements are closed with plastic plates.
- Claims to the salon of FV Golf 5 B y also not. During operation, the parts are not loosened, the equipment almost never gives failures, there are no unpleasant violets.
In the minuses, you can only write the vehicle characteristic of the air conditioning system compressor. Sometimes the incorrect work of the windows is noticeable.
MPI, FSI engines, TDI on golf 5 second-hand
Considering the popularity of the golf at all times, a rather extensive line of gasoline engines with a working capacity of cylinders from 1.4 liters to 3.2 liters (80ls-250ls) and diesel 1.9 and 2.0 liter turbodiesels (75ls-170ls) was produced. Almost any option can be found on the expanses of our country.
The lion's share of Golf V was equipped with a gasoline 1.6 MPI (102 HC), which, by the way, is considered the most reliable and review of mechanics deprived of characteristic "sores". More modern 1.6 FSI (115 hp) is practically not found in the domestic market. But the younger 1.4 liter engines, and especially the Golf V with 1.4 FSI can prevent "surprises".
Golf 5 with engine 1.4 FSI can have the following problems and malfunctions:
- Motor has difficulty launching in the cold season at temperatures below 20 degrees Celsius.
- Too big wear chain timing.
- Replacement of the hydraulic power plate is also required.
- Quite often, the FSI ruler also refuses ignition coils.
All of the above (except paragraph 1) is characteristic of the 1.6 FSI power plant.
The more powerful 2.0 FSI on Golf 5 also has drawbacks:
- Frequently failed regular corrugations of the exhaust system.
- The specified mileage for replacing the timing belt is 180 thousand km. However, in fact, only half of this figure is a real service life.
Among diesel variations is the most reliable Golf 5 1.9 TDI diesel. But Turbodiesel 2.0 TDI has a flaw - frequency nozzles often fail.
It is worth noting that the manufacturer changes these parts under warranty.
In general, the motor is good and tolerably copes with domestic diesel fuel. The service life of the turbine is also pleased.
Another large plus diesel engine is quite modest fuel consumption, with a calm ride 6 liters per 100 km.
Gearbox and golf drive 5 with mileage
Most of the golf5, like predecessors, got the front-wheel drive. There are, however, and models with 4motion connecting the rear axle when the front wheels slip. There are no special complaints on them, everything works quite "by passport."
Among the variations of the gearboxes on Volkswagen Golf 5 were 2 Mechanical (mechanics MCPP 5 and 6 steps), automatic (automatic automatic transmission 6-speed Tiptronic), as well as robotic DSG (6 and 7 steps), which can adapt to the driver's drivers themselves, By changing the moment of inclusion of the transfer. In addition, there is a sports mode.
Buying golf 5 used with a robot DSG you need to be prepared with pushing from:
- Problems of the ECU - jerk appear when switching. On the sixth, it is from 1 to 2, and on seven - on the back. Helps flashing the ECU on the factory service.
- The above problem may not be solved by a banal shift of software, so you have to replace the entire block, which is quite expensive.
Mechanics also has their drawbacks:
- After the run of about 90-100 thousand km, the double bearing is too enhanced (the box becomes noisy).
- If the diesel cars appears a knock when switching gear, then in most cases the flywheel was worn out.
6 Tiptronic automatic transmission features high reliability, and with neat riding will be capricious (shocks when changing gear, slip) at a car with a mileage of 120 and more than a thousand km.
Suspension and steering mechanism for golf 5
Suspension on the fifth golf usual: MacPherson in front and multi-dimensions from behind. In general, it is good and has a long operational period.
In front suspension, the details fail in order in this order:
- Mileage 80 thousand km. - Rear Silent Blocks on the front pendants.
- Mileage 100 thousand km. - Ensure the stabilizer rack.
- Mileage 150 thousand km. - The remaining silent blocks wear out.
- More than this period, the stabilizer bushings usually live, as well as ball supports (up to 200 thousand km).
As for the rear axle, already on 100 thousand it is recommended to change ball, sleeves of racks, as well as bumps. The rest of the details, except, probabile blocks, are able to serve to the magical figure of 200 thousand km.
Common control problems depend on the year of release Golf V:
- 2004-2006, severe wear of the rail, as well as an electric drive. A knock at work appears.
- After 2008, the entire node was recycled and improved significantly. Increased the life of parts (thrust and their tips). Their replacement can be made after 150 thousand km., But this is an ideal driving.
There is no complaints on the brake system. The breakdowns can only be in very old models released closer to 2004.
