The Volkswagen Golf R32 is a high performance version in the golf range, and was first released in the early 2000’s, with later models dropping the 32 to become the Golf R. The R32 had significantly more power than the standard Golf, and was equip with an all wheel drive system to assist with handling. Available in 3 or 5 door variants and powered by a 3.2-Litre V6 engine, the primary competition for the Golf R32 was the Audi S3, Mercedes Benz A45 AMG and BMW’s M135i.

Common Problems with the Volkswagen Golf R32

As with all cars, regular services and routine maintenance are the best way to avoid future problems and ensure you are driving a safe and reliable vehicle. The expert mechanics at Auto Studio in Adelaide are RAA approved and specialise in European cars. Here are some common problems that you might come across with your VW Golf R-32.

Water Pump

The water pumps in some VW Golfs can fail earlier than expected, you might notice leaking coolant and an overheating engine if this is the case for you. This is something that you will need to get repaired as soon as possible and avoid driving until completed as driving your car without enough coolant will cause serious damage.

Loss of ABS

Possible faults within the electrics can cause the loss of ABS, and a Servo Pipe that is prone to cracking can leak, forcing the driver to apply more pressure than usual when braking. It is extremely important to have your brakes inspected regularly to ensure your vehicle is safe to drive. If you have any concerns about your brakes, then please call and book in with one of our friendly team.

Electrical problems can be common with the R-32, creating faults with windows, central locking and even the engine CPU. If you have experienced any problems with your Golf, then book in to have one of the expert mechanics at Auto Studio isolate and fix the problem for you.
