Question about weight

[powerplay]

Just been flicking through the manual and noticed the spec printed on the inside cover on the Service schedule booklet, the unladen weight is shown as 1569. According to all the specs I have read, the A3 3.2 has an unladed weight of 1495 (which I thought was a lot anyway!) so what gives?

The weight in the brochure is a standard generic weight, when they build your car they actually weigh it with any options etc and thats what you have seen. Your V5 should have the same weight on it as well. My 2.0TFSI Quattro S-line comes in at 1573kg when the brochure weight is 1470kg.
