rattles are annoying..also faulty injectors (couple of times) , rattling from the exhaust heatshield, bonnet not alligned with the front bumper (very visible), squeaky sunroof ...
and ofcourse I am tired of having to rev  the hell out of it to overtake.
I guess I'm more of a turbo/torque man, just was afraid to admit it lol  :wink:

so bigger RON fuel is more important when it's a turbo engine? Cause I noticed very little difference when I tried superunleaded 98RON in the clio (after 95ron)

is the tfsi engine known for some problems that I should be aware off?

Thanks

This engine is turbo FSI, not just any old turbo, and FSI works best with 98. Anyway, they say explicitly - 98 in GTI.
BTW, I made a mistake in my post about tuners (now corrected). Basically, go to REVO, ABT, MTM, Oettinger, B&B, but be careful with generalist garage tuners as they most likely only increase boost pressure and don't do much else.
