Different BHP

Spike1979 · Apr 22, 2018

A bit of a daft question but why are some S3’s 261 bhp & others 265 bhp? I know it’s only 4 bhp difference but just wondering why?

Isn't is a metric vs BHP thing? One is in PS, the other is BHP.

I went to a Dyno day and some S3's were as high as 295 bhp

You know what they say about statistics.

years ago i dyno'd my 3.2 on unleaded and then super unleaded and got 10 bhp difference.

261 was the BHZ engine (pre facelift) and 265 is the CDL. Not sure what changed.

Not if it has the day running lights which I think entered service in either MY58 or MY09.

I had an ‘09 A3 which was fl.
