New VAG 2.0T FSI Engine

[StuEd30]

Know there has been a lot of talk about the new VAG T FSI engines, or whatever they are calling them, however I noticed on Auto Express news LINK that the new 2.0 T FSI enging is going into the A4 and A5.

208 Bhp
42 mpg
154 g/km of CO2.

Impressive stuff with the MPG and CO2.

I wonder if this is the same engine that will be going into the MkVI GTI?

no it wont, the 1.8TSI is going in it. also stated in auto express this week.

thought autocar was saying 211 bhp gti and then a 4 wheel drive 265bhp 4 cylinder to follow?

or was it a tough day in the office today?

[StuEd30]

What makes you think it is the 1.8?

I realise that the 1.8T has been fitted in newer Audis, however I would have thought that if a 2.0L with better omissions and MPG is available that would have been used.

I've read a bit about the new Golf, especially since the pics were first leaked  and they mentioned a number of engines including a new twin-turbo 2.0 TDI engine with 204bhp in Autocar.

....I would take anything AutoExpress say with a pinch of salt at this stage. If you are referring to the Mk6 GTI getting that 1.8TSI engine, I think it's unlikely but who knows?

Having worked in the motor industry......please please please please please please take no notice of any car magazine until the motor manufacturer themselves have released a press statement regarding the particular vehicle. The magazines make up A LOT of things just to get a prospective reader involved. The stuff they used to say about BMW whilst I worked there was just completely untrue and was never planned to go into production.

The very reason I cancelled my subs to Auto Express as it was far to sensationalist and guessed at the looks and spec of cars far off production, and as such I feel it deserves it's red top!!!

Auto Express is a joke with the mock-ups it uses on the FRONT COVER!  FFS!

I don't mind it - but then I take it to be a bit like reading The Sun ..... a quick read and not necessarily accurate
