Both the 2.0 and 3.0 are great motors, especially if the 2.0 is one of the newer ones with the port and direct injection. If you can swing the 3.0, get it. Power is smooth and much.
yeah, loved the power of the 3.0, what year did they change the 2.0 to port and direct injection?
Yes.Has the addition of the cold start injector reduced carbon build up?

They claim that they added it to help efficiency under partial load and low rpm conditions. The real reason it’s there is to wash the intake valves with fuel. All of the Japanese mfg’ers are doing this too. BMW needs to get on this since their motors are notorious for carbon buildup. Companies like GM and Porsche have figured out how to time ignition, valve opening, and crankcase breathing to not require it.
Does my 2015 GTI have this issue?
Plan to get it cleaned every 60k. My wife had a 2.0t Wolfsburg 6mt bought new. I enjoyed driving it and was sad to see it go because lots of memories, but I will not miss the heartache and frustration that went with maintaining it. She needs an appliance not a project.Does my 2015 GTI have this issue?
Yeah, Hi!I think @SpartaBard has had a couple q5’s. You still here Bard?
The 2.0 is a great engine. All things being equal I’d get the 2.0 over the 3.0 and do an APR ECU flash. Power should end up similar. I think the 2.0 is considerably lighter.
