Just keep it,can't beat 58mpg,mine handles like a train

Can only go in straight lines, with the occasional turn? 

[rich83]

LOL

I would be amazed if you kept up with a mapped 2.0T

[Andy]

When its stood still Rich

[Jussa]

Yes me too, don't understand how it could have kept up with a mapped 2.0T?
Anyway a second is a lifetime in a 0-60 race.
Where are all the GTi petrol heads in this string 

[ruffrydaz]

Hahaha hmm i have to admit he was edging forward at 50 ish and would have probably taken me,
I got a much better start, maybe it was the driver...

It's one of those posts that aren't worth the effort.  A mapped 2.0tfsi 60 around 6 secs, mapped diesel 8-9 seconds, that really is a country mile in the traffic light grand prix

My mapped diesel must be slow then cos I thinks its useless in the first 2 gears, but once into 3rd it did pull like a train...but i'm hoping with this new turbo it should be full of beans with a large dose of bring it on

Yes Darren, bring it on, lol, being a new mappy myself........very interesting to say the VERY least......

[Hurdy]

Ruffrydaz, are you DSG?

If so we are adding DSG v manual to a petrol v diesel discussion too.

My old DSG mapped 140 GTTDi diesel was 6.93 seconds 0-60 at Inters

What is the 8p after audi a3 2.0T ??

A3 8L = 1996 - 2003
A3 8P = 2003 - 2011

Golf 1J = Golf IV
Golf 1K = Golf V


This is not a question of which car is faster but one of
which driver is accelerating better and shifting harder.

Imho:  just bullsh*t. 

[patrickcullen87]

i had a mapped 2.0 tdi audi a3 and it is no where near as quick as my gti....1st gear was pointless, 2nd gear and 3rd gear it pulled like a train but after that it was kind of flat

[JackG]

My standard ed30 (I know it's not the same as the one in question) easily pulled away from my friends A3 170 (standard)
Gti should easily walk away in all gears

[sam]

tbh...... who cares its still a diesel and still sounds like a diesel

So you got a better start and by 50mph he was already pulling on you? Sounds to me as though you would of got your pants pulled down if you carried on past 60mph..
