RandomJord - the source of your problems is not that you own an 8v, a 16v won't be any better - if anything they're even more fickle !!

Your problem is you've more than likely have the local zoo working on your car instead of a VAG specialist!!  ;D

obviously you prefer town driving to fast country lanes so the 8v is a better car for you.

Hoe can someone not like country lanes, pure madness

Still the fact of the matter is the 16v produces MORE power and torque all the way up the rev range, up to 4000rpm not a lot more, loads more after 4000rpm.

THAT IS FACT  ;)
