For power output and torque it's about 10bhp and 50lbft extra in the Mk7 GTI, but don't quote me! :grin:

Plus Stop / Start tech.

Someone may confirm, but its a whole new block I believe, possibly lighter?

Haha, in that case I don't really know.  I've read that it's an evolution of the same, but in what capacity I have no idea.  I think it's lighter, but really, besides the car as a whole package, all I bother about are the performance numbers and economy!  :grin:

If its the same EA888 as before, I just hope they fixed the "timing chain tensioner" problem that plagued the Mark 6!!!! I don't really want to go through all that shenanigans again!!

According to Car magazine, the differences between the Mark 7 engine and the Mark 6 are:

This means:

Just don't ask me to explain any of the technical aspects in further detail!

According to Car magazine, the differences between the Mark 7 engine and the Mark 6 are:
  • reinforced crankshaft bearings
  • modified direct fuel-injection
  • reduced friction
  • improved efficiency; and
  • an exhaust manifold integrated in the cylinder head

This means:
  • a massive increase in torque (206lb ft to 258lb ft at 1500 to 4400rpm)
  • power up by 10bhp to 217bhp
  • 14% better fuel consumption
  • top speed increase from 147mph to 153mph
  • 0-62mph in 6.5 seconds (an improvement of 0.4 seconds)

Just don't ask me to explain any of the technical aspects in further detail!
thanks pacman there's been a few changes then  :nerd:
