Hi all,

this morning I was reading the weight figures of my VRS TDI and just stared at TFSI ones :eek: They're about 200Kg less!!!

Now, do all of this weight come from engine? How's that possible? What would be the heavier items? Is it possible to achieve some weight reduction w/o sacrificing safety or comfort?

I think it's the engine and it's additional systems, nothing lighter on the petrol Vrs.

IIRC I thought it was less than 50kg between the two and that not all of that was over the front of the car.

Infact I'm reading a mere 30Kg difference on cartuningcentral.com...

Hmm, I'll look on my car papers...

Thank you,

Stefano

From the brochure:

HATCH:

vRS FSI-T

- Kerb Weight = 1,470 KG

- Total Weight = 1,940 KG

vRS PD170

- Kerb Weight = 1,500 KG

- Total Weight = 1,970 KG

ESTATE:

vRS FSI-T

- Kerb Weight = 1,485 KG

- Total Weight = 1,955 KG

vRS PD170

- Kerb Weight = 1,515 KG

- Total Weight = 1,985 KG

So, Estate is 15 KG heavier than Hatch and Diesel is 30 KG heavier than Petrol.

So a "FAT" diesel estate is a total of 45 KG heavier than a "SLIM" petrol hatch.

With, I guess, 30ish KG extra over the front and 15ish KG over the back.

...perhaps the guy who compiled figures on the magazine I was reading was drunk... uh, oh... perhaps myself... even in the early morning... hic!

I guess the numbers from the magazine are for whole O2 line - from 1.4MPI Hatch to 2.0TDI Estate .

...I'm pretty sure I was staring at VRS TDI and TFSI differences... hic!

Perhaps too much Becherovka in the evening...

Anything worth removing in O2, anyway (without sacrificing safety and comfort)?
