Title: How much horsepower/torque does the GTI lose as it ages?
Post by: Homer on October 18, 2013, 05:48:26 pm: I was speaking to someone today who said that as our cars age they will lose power, I know this will happen but what is the average loss of power in terms of the age of the car? I.e. Is there a rough idea of figures that our car loses each year? Thanks

Not tuning the mk6 TSI yet, that's a few years down the line once the 20vt and tfsi markets start to dry up, we will be doing that Golf R over the new few weeks. Just got to make sure my tools reads/write ok to them first.

For the TSI stuff we don't tune we send then in the direction of APR.
