It's an Audi and Seat thing to have the dials lit up even during the day, all the led lights should go off on turning the ignition off.

Removal of the spare tyre will reduce the weight by 30Kg and you can carry a bottle of tyre weld. Removal of a certain amount of wight say 80Kg will help with the cars handling and maybe knock a couple of tenths of a second off the 0-60/0-100 time. Peugeot did it with the 106 and 206 Rallye...

The 1.6 is not bad sponds kinda roarty, but not quites as good as the BMW 1.8 Valvetronic, so far the bperformance is OK but with only 900 miles on the clock the engine feels rather tight. What sort of millage does the mpi start to loosen up?

The 2.0FSi gives better economy than my 1.6MPi!!

To get things back on track I would go for the TDi over the FSi because the performace is about the same and even though the TDi is slightly more expensive you would gain back as the TDi has slower depreciation.

Irish.... Wow big deal your an Engineer...so what???? [edited] Maybe you could quantify your arguments a bit more then my stories may be used to have an intelectual disscusion, [edited]. Which is all you seem capable of resorting to when anybody say's anything you don't agree with. [edited]

Not because they were too fast but to restrict power, but modern N/A Formula 1 engines can give the same power as those 80'S turbos as technology has moved on. Go two post's up to my Petrol v Diesel!! Yes they need a rebuild but most engines that have been thrashed for several hours would need...

This is a rather long explanation that I orignally posted at type-r.org, Irish will love this!!! Hopefully this will enlighten you garethj Petrol Vs Diesel In reality it is the torque that reaches the drivewheels that dictates both acceleration AND max speed. This figure is comprised of...

I just said that Irish....... I have owned a 318i Saloon never mind the chipped 320d before that, as for red line all I have to say is Civic Type R, Clio 182 all needed to be reved to get their best as higher revs mean longer in gear time and greater torque multiplication for a longer...

Here we go again... how come you always right are you God or something Irish ???? Never said a 318Ci was fast not just quite as slow as you seem to think, I think owning two puts me in a very good position to judge don't you think?? To quote you..."wouldn't pull you out of bed" a rather silly...

Well a 318 is faster than you think Irish I have owned a saloon with the 2 litre valvetronic and it revs smoothly all the way to the redline and if you make use of the revs can go at a good old pace with a lovely rasp. Off the mark you TDi would not pull away from a well heeled one!! One of the...

318Ci is still a cracking car though my wife has the Cab version but my new shape A3 has a better built interior and the handling is more fun than a 3 series saloon/coupe.
