Was there more in it? Because you have way more power than me! Then again diesels have never been that good top end!
I'm well and truly over knocking the **** out of the car days, I'm that over it there's no remap planned for this TDI A3, i want decent miles to the gallon, reliability and something that is nippy when need be.
I don't know why but I'm the same. Both my Leons I've had flat out on several occasions but I've done just over 5k in the A3 and still not had it past 90.
how dare you smokey old tdi;s blast down the motorway at speeds of over 70mph save the planet knit some yogurt and buy a s3
oh dear me you must all be confused we are suppose go on about how many miles to the gallon we get not top speeds !!!!!
Just been reading up on people with seized calipers cause im also getting crap MPG. With my heavy foot im achieving high 20's low 30's with inner city driving. Motorway sees low 40's but im pretty sure it should be way more than this. Any advice?
Why not just all sign up for the 30-130 day and do this legally on 1.8 miles of the smoothest widest tarmac in safe controlled conditions with no other cars or dangers to worry about with a VBox and then come back and brag about it?
Just my 2p worth.
No ones bragging, or I'm not anyway.
You can step down from your soap box now buddy. :icon_thumright:
Diesels aren't fast anyway, if i wanted speed and could afford the petrol i'd have an S3 or an R32.
Or an M3 Ever since I've had the A3 I've just become obsessed with MPG readings!

1) I'm glad you're not bragging and appreciate you clearing that up. However, I am sure that others are being encouraged to do so.
:thumbsup:
2) I'm not on my soap box - i personally think that talking about "private roads" and theoretical "autobahn" driving is a bit stupid on a public forum thats all. People have been, and will continue to be prosecuted for stupid loose tongue comments made on forums like this. I dont' care one iota if you loose your licence or not. Makes no odds to me.
Hence why i've not mentioned anything about this closed road, private track etc, i don't even know any!
3) I would suggest that you are encouraging others who haven't managed the top speed in their diesel to hit the nearest piece of dual carriage way or "private road" to see what theirs can do. I personally dont think this is particularly clever. That's just my view. You dont have to share it.
I've merely said that the stock 140PD has a top speed of 127mph and the stock 170PD has a top speed of 137mph.
I was encouraging MPG and not knocking the **** out of my car everywhere i go as I'm past that stage now, 25 not 18.
4) I have attended the 30-130 event at Marnham and now can safely say that in a controlled environment my car will say 176mph on the clock and 157 on the VBox but the only person i was putting in jeopardy was myself. No other road users, no passengers etc.
Shifting some serious speed is that then, what you got? S3?
5) Do i know you?
Not sure mate, do you?
what engine was that w8 bkd or ?On Shark Performance's rolling road. It's a 2.0tdi with a hybrid turbo mapped by Shark
