Why isnt the roc R 4WD?

Ok so had a search, also rang up VW UK and couldn't get an answer!

Does anyone actually know why the roc R isn't 4 wheel drive like the golf R is? Is there a technical reason why they didnt go with 4wd?


Cheers, Simmo

Re: Fitting a normal bluetooth to the 'roc?

Mr Simmo-You have done exactly what i am trying to do,my old control box is 5N0035730C. If i get the 7P6035730C did you have to change any of the codings or any of the parts holding the box or is literally a straight swap? Hi Starshaped It looks like you have the same control box as my old one, Wit...

Re: Fitting a normal bluetooth to the 'roc?

Ok quick update guys Installed the new VW Bluetooth module yesterday (7p6 035 730 c), was a simple unplug/plug with the old RSAP unit as expected. Works fine with the iPhone 3GS (IOS4) and supports multi-pairing (I've paired both my iPhone and my Nokia to it at the same time) although the RCD-510 on...

Re: GT vs R Suspension

Why don't you just buy an R...it would probably cost about £100-150 extra pm...thats one or two nights out depending on how much you drink or eat. I don't understand this R wanna be gang... i guess it's like having a girl with a fantastic body but not so pretty face and another with a beautiful fac...

Re: Fitting a normal bluetooth to the 'roc?

Hi Guys, Right the part is ordered from VW but won't be in the UK till September so I'll let you know how I get on when its in... but basically the replacement part uses the standard Bluetooth Handsfree profile (so works with iPhone etc) and does support A2DP (Bluetooth audio streaming). I've curren...

Re: GT vs R Suspension

Simmo out of interest, what are you trying to achieve? a firmer setup & lower ride? S Really just a firmer setup, more akin to the R. I don't really want to fit non VW parts for the suspension just yet so wondering about what changes are required to enhance the GT's to bring closer to the R Che...

Re: GT vs R Suspension

springs are 15mm lower. shocks are prolly the same. ACC/DCC is set differently (1 step up on R) so Normal/Sport on GT is Comfort/Normal on R. You've just given the guy totally incorrect info. :shrug: MrSimmo Springs are only 10mm lower, 0.5mm thicker wire aswell. Dampers are the same. Only differen...

GT vs R Suspension

Does anyone know the differences between the 'roc R and the GT suspension? (I.e. do they have different springs/shocks or is the control unit different or programmed differently?)

Re: Skoda Bluetooth - Who has this fitted?

Guys sorry to resurrect this thread!

Does the Skoda bluetooth box (1Z0 035 729) support Bluetooth audio streaming to the RNS510 (A2DP) ?

I've got an iphone and although I can plug it into the MDI I'd prefer to use bluetooth for both calls and audio

Fitting a normal bluetooth to the 'roc?

Hi All, So I've gone and got myself a new roc 2010 GT210 and surprise surprise it doesnt support the iphone because it uses RSAP which has been discussed quite a few times. I've got the Rxx510 touch screen nav option. I phoned up the local VW dealer the other day who reckoned that they now offer a d...
