Put on a brand-new 1.5T engine! The new Volkswagen Golf debuted on November 7th!

[Automotive Technology] What is the hottest car in China now? What car is the hardest to mention? I’m afraid it must be-it must be. Since it went on the market in October last year, it has appeared on this model for a long time, and with the longer time for the husband to go on the market, although the current situation of the car and the situation of raising the car at a higher price have been partially alleviated (now the 1.4T model can’t escape the fate of raising the price or adding decoration), but it is followed by the "reduction" of golf.

In fact, when I first heard about the "reduced allocation" of golf models, I thought that the configuration of the models it sells now has changed compared with a group of earlier cars. But after understanding, it turned out that the focus of debate was on the changes in the materials and suppliers of some parts. Although many netizens in the forum have posted posts about discussing the "allocation reduction" of golf, most of them have no pictures. Since everyone is concerned about when this allocation has changed, let’s take a look at how golf is "allocated reduction" in this article today!

There are a lot of posts about golf reduction in car home Forum. You can click on the picture below to enter the golf talk for discussion and speech.

After sorting out the changes of golf-related configuration materials and suppliers mentioned by netizens, we found that everyone’s focus is mainly on:Material, supplier of windshield, supplier of sunroof assembly (glass and slide rail), origin of shock absorption, whether the bottom guard is cancelled, whether the noise-proof cotton of engine hood is cancelled, and the origin of hydraulic tappet and the style of hub are changed.Wait.

In order to verify the relevant allocation reduction, we investigated seven models in different production years, and found that the materials and suppliers of related parts of the same model with different production dates have changed.However, on some parts, we can’t find the distribution shortage mentioned by netizens. Of course, this may be related to the scope of our investigation. Therefore, this investigation is limited to explaining whether there is "distribution shortage" for models with different production time.. Then let’s begin to show our findings.

First of all, let’s talk about the production date and model of the models investigated this time.

The latest situation of changing the subframe material from aluminum alloy to steel;

After the publication of the article, FAW-Volkswagen officially contacted us, saying that not all golf models use steel sub-frames, and some models still continue to use aluminum alloy sub-frames. However, according to the results of our investigation, no models with aluminum alloy sub-frames have been found in the market, which is of course related to the limited scope of our investigation. If, as officially claimed by FAW-Volkswagen, there are still vehicles using aluminum alloy sub-frames, we will also find relevant vehicles for verification. Please pay attention.

Former windshield supplier: The seven cars in this survey use AGC (Asahi Glass) brand.

The seven models we investigated in this survey all used the glass produced in China by Japan’s AGC (Asahi Glass) company. As for the situation that the windshield was replaced by Fuyao brand, we did not find it in this survey, but it does not rule out that the windshield brand will change in the future.

Suspension damping spring: it is impossible to confirm whether it is made in China or imported at present.

In the forum, many netizens are questioning that the suspension damping spring of golf has been reduced from the previous "four-point" spring in Germany to the domestic "no-point" spring. The so-called "point" refers to the small points with different colors appearing on the spring. However, in our opinion, it is not sufficient to judge whether the springs are made in China or imported from the point of point, point or number. If we judge, we can only disassemble the springs to confirm them, so we can’t judge whether the springs of these seven cars are different in this survey.

The style of the rear door and wheel hub has changed: it is not considered as a reduction.

In addition, netizens discussed the situation that some models produced in 2009, except for the luxury version, had speakers at the rear door but no wiring, while those recently put into production, except for the luxury version, had no speakers and no wiring. In my opinion, I don’t think this is a reduction. After all, the manufacturer has already stated the number of speakers when launching the configuration. Therefore, if the previous models have speakers but no connecting lines, I think the owners who bought these cars are lucky, and they can enjoy the sound feeling brought by two more speakers when they are connected to the line. It’s a pity to buy a car with no horn and no connection at the back door. If you want to enjoy better sound quality, you can modify it later, and the effect will be better than that of the original factory.

"In terms of configuration, the comfort model should have no horn at the back door."

Oh, by the way, I don’t think this is a reduction in the wheel hub style mentioned by netizens. After all, the size and material of the hub have not changed, but the style has changed. The change of style may make different consumers feel that the hub is somewhat unsightly, but whether it is beautiful or not is a matter of different opinions. I think most consumers will not have big opinions as long as it is not the change of hub size and material.

"The wheel hub style of the 『1.4T vehicle has changed, with the left being the 2009 model style/the right being the current model style."

After talking about the styles of windshield, damping spring, rear door horn and wheel hub, many netizens are still talking about the situation that the materials and suppliers of subframe, engine cover sound insulation cotton and engine bottom guard have changed in different batches of vehicles, so we will answer them one by one according to the production time of the golf car under investigation.
