any news mate? A while ago one of my mates had a car stolen, the police tried to get them out of the car and they locked the doors, so they smashed the windows and "gave them a good kicking". Hope you get the car back in one piece, but to be perfectly honest I wouldn't want it back after some...

Does the DPF delete make much of a difference mate?? and is it required for the MOT?? Cheers

a re-mapped 170PD diesel will be faster than a standard 2.0 TFSI? i'll never get decent mpg out of my tdi because I don't travel very far, so I'd like to get rid of it. Might just get the 2.0 TFSI and re-map it ;)

Aye that's what I do mate, i've tried working it out properly because some people claim that the trip computer isn't accurate, but I can never be bothered haha I can live with less mpg to be honest. By the way, does a stage 1 remap on the 2.0t decrease the 0-60 time by much?

400 miles to a tank is pretty good for a 2.0L petrol like! I presume that's £70ish to fill up, yeah? Has anyone gone from owning a PD170/PD140 to a 2.0 TFSI???

This argument is quite interesting as I'm considering getting rid of my 170PD and getting the 2.0 TFSI. I don't do enough miles to warrant a diesel and the 2.0TFSI seems faster (according to the stats etc), so i'll probs have to give it a test drive!

yeah I do prefer them to GTi's to be honest, a bit more classy...and less to insure! I currently get 33mpg so I can live with 28mpg :)

hahaha aye I looked for an S3 with me having a years ncb and i'm pretty sure it was like £1600 or something lol. Think I'll wait until I'm a little bit older:thumbsup: well, I've looked on auto trader etc and I can see the same model for sale with 35,000 on the clock for £13,000, but I would...

Your car is 360bhp though :P!!! I think I will have to test drive both to see which one I prefer, to be perfectly honest I think I will go for a manual. I think I am going to change car at the start of next year, I will be 23, will have been driving for 3 years and will have 1 years ncb...

Cheers for the advice :), are quattro versions the 4wd ones?? In a way i'd prefer a manual (i really enjoy giving it a good thrashing on country roads etc) and i don't really do much motorway driving, but the DSG is tempting as I end up getting stuck in traffic a lot on the way to work, so...

Cheers for the reply mate. I would probably go for the DSG but not too fussed if I ended up with a manual. I would more than likely get it a stage 1 remap on it and possibly consider a few other things. What sort of MPG do you get? I am currently getting 33mpg in my FR TDI, but I don't travel...

Alright I currently drive a SEAT leon FR tdi and I am thinking about jumping ship and purchasing an A3 2.0 TFSI. Anyone have anything good/bad to say about this car? I don't want another diesel and couldn't afford the insurance on an S3, so i am looking at other alternatives Any...
