Zman Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Hi folks, I'm looking to buy the 2.0 TDI Sport Sportback but I'd ideally like something with a little more power (yes I have considered the 2.0T but would rather stay diesel). Anyway, with VW having announced the launch of 2 new more powerful diesel variants has anyone heard of a faster diesel in the A3? I want to order but know that I'll be disappointed if a faster diesel is announced before I take delivery. By the way - what is the best discount going at the moment? I have heard figures of 9% being mentioned. Cheers, Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBM Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 I hear they are set to launch a 170 (168)BHP 2.0TDI in the golf GT TDI soon. Not heard any plans for the A3 or A4 yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zman Posted October 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 I'm guessing that if it's going to be in the VW it cannot be long until Audi follow - but like you not heard anything yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaco Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Speak to Superchips = 170bhp for £511 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsambrook Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Do you know if the SuperChips chip is ok to use with DSG? I've heard that the torque limit of the DSG box might be too low? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zman Posted October 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 I'm be interested in chipping but rather concerned about the insurance complications! Can anyone shed any light? I know people say that is cannot be detected but I'd rather be up front and sleep easy at night (ok, I'm square but thats how I am!). Has anyone spoken to their insurance company?

Hopsta Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Declare it, end of. Just not worth the hassle if you have to make a major claim and they then find out its modded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdb2 Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 8-10% discount is about right, get your dealer to match a quote from drivethedeal, many will in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbodan Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 What BHP would i be looking at if i superchipped my 1.9 TDI (110Bhp) 1999 A3? What would the 0-60 times likely to be? And would it make much difference to the fuel consumption? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
