S3 = bigger injectors?

Don't think so but could be wrong

Mods yes but way too many to stick in this little box

i can't see the vag group making any changes to a car in the range that has the engine fitted as it would be down to cost so its cheaper to leave the engines as is and just put them in any car model they want if you ask me

So unless I'm going high power I'm as well saving 150kg and some £££ and going for an edition 30. How much could I expect from a stage 1 car with air filter!?

Now I just need to find an ED30, difficult to find well priced/low mileage examples with Xenons, SatNav and Highline. Would Like a DSG but a fail mechatronics unit makes me  :sick:

Failed mech's are less likely now, as most in warranty failures would of been sorted. if you purchase from a dealers, then your warranty within purchase period would cover it.

A manual worn clutch failure is less likely to be covered on a 2nd hand car.

My 08 plate Candy ED30 mechantronics were replaced under warranty the week before I bought it and also came with a 3 year warranty on the box  :happy2:

Buying a DSG is not to be worried about if its been looked after.

More like 100kg as S3 kerb weight is 1450kg Ed30 appears to be around 1350kg depending on where you look - 1357kg was highest value I found during a quick search.

It's a tough choice however, Quattro in the wet is impressive.

I am led to believe the newer CDL code engines (found in the recent facelift cars) have a different intake cam compared to the previous S3 which had the same intake cam.
