Did you have anything non standard on the car at this point??

My guess is that they are around 1375KG - 1390KG for the 3 door.. with fluids but an empty tank.. Those figures would match up with that pretty well..

Ah ok cool, think I need to get mine on the corner weight scales again, see how much it is now..

The 5 door is listed as being the same weight as the 3 door, not sure if thats true though. Those figures seem to show it could be..

Book figure for the weight of a GTI is 1328kg for a manual or 1347kg for a DSG.  For an Edition 30 the figures are 1357kg and 1376kg respectively.

Thats dry though, no coolant, oil, fuel etc etc.. There is usually about 25KG in fluids and other bits that they dont quote on the figures, but interesting that they say the ED30 is 29KG heavier than the normal GTI.. Why would that be??  :surprised:

Yeah, could even end up being a touch lighter as there is less glass..

using Matts car :
Matts car = 1428 kg
minus fuel (1 litre = 0.737 kg , so 40 kg (55 litres)?)
so weight of car would be 1388 kg

1357 kg book for ED30
+ 25kg (fluids etc )
= 1383kg

which tallys  :happy2:

So ED30 without fuel but inc fluids looks to be around 1385 kg

What options you got Matt?
