Brembo Brakes w/ metal master pads
Weighted Shift Rod

No way is a VR6 engine lite by any means. It probably accounts for half the weight in my ride!!!!!!, Plus the power you get is twice as much as your 4 banger you got in there now.....research it alittle you'll see!

Peace

I think he is referring to the car and not the engine. The cabrio is kinda lite, but I believe the have a VR6 model. This guy around where I work has one. Have to check to see if it's official.

The Cabrio weighs 2778 lbs with the 4 banger a GTI with the VR6 weighs 2890 lbs. VW should definetly start putting either the 1.8T or the VR6 in the Cabrio stock.

Question Re: Hello Cabriolet/Cabrio owners..who's out there?

Hi All,

I know that your supposed to put different oil in the car depending on the season but I don't know what they are. If anyone knows please help me out. Thanks!
