UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

maybe i'm missing the point.. but chassis numbers for the facelift polo are still 6R? so why is everyone naming it the 6C?

Good question I had wondered on this. I expected it to be along the lines of 6R2 as there is a spacing character - 6Rz in the chassis numbers for the pre-facelift.

Because 6C is the internal number at VW.

The Mk 6 Golf (Which was a massive facelift of the Mk 5) didn't change chassisnumber either.

the 6N2 also had a 6N chassisnumber.
9N3 had a 9N number
Passat 3BG had a 3B number... and so on and so forth...

This was my logic for 6R2. I wonder if in time we will refer to it as 6R2 as 6C looses momentum.

The facelift on the T5 Transporter is called T5GP (Grosse Produktendrung or in english Big Pruductchange) But my mates and I just call it T6 because it's easier...
But we probably have to change that when the actual T6 comes.

Maybe 6c is suppossed to sound like "sexy" - sorry lame joke.

Golf went from 1K to 5K for Mk5 to Mk6
