Hoeveel is joune op die wiele, gebruik dieselfde calc dan werk jy terug.

Ek dink dit werk heeltemal so eenvoudig nie

Juis die rede hoekom ek vra.

Myne gee standaard:
86.7kW en 335Nm op die wiele
132.7kW en 454Nm flywheel

Dit is nogal n groot verskil

Gou gaan kyk. 106kw en 358NM soos ek na jou stats kyk moet my flywheel meer wees?

Enig iemand wat dan vir my die flywheel kan gee?

Ek sien in die "nuwe" Leusure Wheels tydskrif is daar 'n artikel oor die nuwe auto 132KW Amarok wat die ous in Europa gaan ry het.

Lekker met MF stuurwiel ens. Wonder of die Pathy vir hom moet plek maak einde van die jaar?? Hy behoort nog steeds 'n hele paar rand goedkoper te wees as 'n nuwe Pathfinder of Disco, en dis 'n Volkswagen!

8 gears is nothing new these days, the X3 uses it and the 2012 UK spec Discovery 4. I think is will be a great drive, my DSG platkar can easily do with more gears given the torque it has.

Miskien is jou flywheel calc meer realisties. Wat was joune op die wiele standaard?

Dankie vir die inligting, goed om te vergelyk

Mens kry calcs wat die omskakeling dien. Belangrik is dat jy hoogte be seevlak en rwd inreken jy kry verskillende opsies. Ek het seker gemaak al daai is reg en in.

Standaard 90kw en kannie NM onthou nie sal weer moet kyk.

Glad nie sleg nie! Op dieselfde dyno het d4d 84kw gekry.

Correct me if I am wrong but after reading the report in the leasure wheels, it seems the new auto Amarok won't have low range?

**Buddie** · 2012/04/23, 09:31 AM

Nuwe CAR ry ook die Auto. Baie indrukwekkend. Daar word ook genoem dat groter engins eersdags gaan beskikbaar wees.Kan egter nie bevestig of dit petrol of diesel is nie.

Correct. The 8-speed box has more gears than a 5-speed with transfer case due to the gears not overlapping.

Het enige iemand al een gekoop of een gery?

http://www.vwcommercial.co.za/models...s-and-options/

Ek sien die link wys nou nie meer 132kW nie, maar nou slegs 120kW. Hulle was seker bietjie te hastig

.

Was by n handelaar vandag, en hulle het nog geen sekerheid wanneer die 132kW gaan beskikbaar wees nie (en dis nie dat ek 132kW nodig het nie

). Hulle kan ook nog nie een vir jou bestel nie

. En hulle het ook geen idee van n 3L Petrol weergawe nie.

Hi All

I had a discussion with the manager in PE and he advises that the first 132kw Dc Manual should be on the floor around the first or second week of May - I've negotiated a short drive(Obviously as it's sold already).

**ChrisH** · 2012/04/25, 07:47 AM

Not sure if it was mentioned in this thread but the new auto has stop/start technology, will that apply to the manual 132kw a well?

The only confirmations on changes/upgrades that I have been given for the 132kw Manual is the lockable tailgate and the radio controls of the steering wheel - Can find nothing else and nothing from VW.

Seems like your dealer is ahead of the rest! Please keep us up to date.

This is simmilar to the systems they used succesfully in other 4motion products.

Dis hy daai Oom Vossie.

Hoekom wil ons 2 x 4-spoed ratkaste he, as ons een 8 spoed kan he.

As I said - apparently it works very well and the changing is very smooth - to the extent that the driver are not always able to tell which gear is engaged. I also heard that it gears back when you slow down - like on the Pajeros.

Has anybody, besides Manny, read the May issue of LW - there should be more info in that article WRT the box?

In the mean time, I'm watching the international forums to see when the first one hits the road - probably in the UK or Germany.

Oom Vossie is reg met die verduideliking!!!!

Dit gaan 'n 8 spoed Tiptronic wees soos op die nuwe Touareg, maar ons sal geduldig moet wag vir die einde van die jaar in SA. Soos die "off-road" knoppie 'n verskil maak hoe die ratkas dink, sal die opsie van D (drive) en S (sport) ook 'n baie groot verskil maak.

Fantastic gearbox that 8spd! VW is surley bringing the advancements that the bakkie market lacked for a very long time. Hell the other makes are still offering 4spd autos! Sjoe!

All that we need from the Amarok now is to provide full-time 4wd capability. Strange that they opted to only bring the part-time 4wd so ZA.

Ek wil my verstout en se die Auto gaan 'n "full-time" auto wees. Ek dink nogsteeds baie dieselfde "drive train" as die Nuwe Touareg. Sien dit net met die kombinasie van die 8 spoed Tip. met die 4 Motion.
