1 wagensville Deluxe August 2010
Presidentʼs Report
VOLKSWAGEN AUSTRALIA
Welcome to your August Deluxe Wagensville.
It seems like there are too many travellers in the club at the mo-
ment, as both Dean and I are away, but given that Dean is actu-
ally O/S, he has the better excuse, and it falls to me to write the
Presidentʼs report. The main activity for many members this
month has been the big trek to Valla, for the VW Spectacular. For
some it was a flying trip for the weekend, while others (including
myself) took a few extra days/weeks to make a holiday of it. As
usual, it was a huge event drawing attendees nationally. Reports
were that about 500 VWʼs filled the main street of Nambucca
Heads for the display on Saturday morning. Itʼs the only event I
know of where the police close Highway 1 for the parade from
Valla to Nambucca (10Km). There was a second display on the
Sunday, in the Valla Park grounds, a main dinner, and a couple of
other nights out, a fireworks display, and a river cruise to choose
from, as well as the usual swap meets and auctions. The main
VWCV contingent numbered about 15, but there were other
members with groups such as Melburg Luft, and Docʼs mainly
DSK crowd. Altogether, I estimated about 70 Victorians (including
a few from the Bendigo club) made the trip. The weather was
generally kind, to very good, although it was a bit cold and wet on
the way up, including a reading of -6 degrees on my outside tem-
perature guage overnight near Yass on my first night out.
The calender is already filling up towards the end of the year (see
elsewhere), and the next major event is our August GM, which will
be held at Bayfordʼs VWʼs new showroom at Epping. The Bay-
fordʼs people, including General Manager David Blackwood, are
very keen, and in talking with him, I detect that heʼs a bit of a
petrol head himself, which is unfortunately a bit unusual in such
positions. Note that the formal meeting is at the usual time of
8pm., but the extra activities, including test rides, and a tour of the
new facility occur before the meeting, starting at 6.30. Then the
following weekend is our fabulous Teddy Bears Picnic. (see ad).
Remember also, that the AGM is coming up soon. With some
committee members retiring, there will be positions needing to be
filled, so give some thought to how you can contribute. Itʼs not
difficult, and is a pleasantly sociable thing to be involved with.
Brian Reed - VWCV Vice President
NEW VW Golf GTD
The Golf model lineup has been growing in leaps and bounds: At the end
of 2008, the sixth generation of the bestseller was launched in Europe.
Shortly thereafter, in early 2009, the new Golf arrived in Australia. Then,
the current Golf GTI was vaulted to centre stage, closely followed by the
new Golf Wagon. And now the lineup continues: with the new Golf GTD.
Its 125 kW power level makes it the highest-performance production Golf
with a diesel engine today. The code letters GTD have revolutionized the
diesel market with its turbocharged diesel engine; a diesel that is not only
economical but exceedingly sporty too.
GTD key performance data:
The new Golf GTD is powered by a highly
advanced common rail TDI engine with a torque of 350 Newton-metre,
fuel efficiency of 5.5 litres and CO2 emissions of 145 g/km. The GTD
sprints from 0km/h to 100 km/h in just 8.1 seconds.
GTD high tech:
The carʼs technical ingredients are among the most
advanced that the market has to offer. Naturally, the focal point of this
high-tech composition is the TDI engine. Its specific torque is 176.4
Newton-metre per litre engine displacement. In practically any driving
situation, the 16-valve four-cylinder engine offers the power of a sports
car engine with six cylinders. Just as pioneering is the six-speed DSG
gearbox from Volkswagen: Just as on the Golf GTI, on the Golf GTD too
there will be an optional dual clutch transmission in place. The Golf GTD
with DSG also accelerates to 100 km/h in 8.1 seconds and consumes just
5.8 litres of diesel per 100 kilometres on average (152/km CO2).
GTD is fully equipped:
Furthermore, Golf GTD features include details
such as chrome bezels for various switches, a black roofliner and black
roof pillar trim, automatic climate control, Multi-Functional Display (MFD
Plus) trip computer, centre armrests and the RCD 510 radio system.
Standard features also include ESP with braking assistant, as well as
seven airbags, including a knee airbag on the driverʼs side.
