Difference between 8v cupra and normal gti

[robreidmotors]

Hi people

Whats the difference engine wise between them, the 2.0 versions, seems the cupra has what looks like a warm air pipe going from near the exhaust manifold to the air intake?

Plus a different maf sensor?

Seems the bhp is the same at 115.

Are you refering to the early gti (pre-facelift) with the 2E engine and the later (face-lift) with the AGG?

 

[robreidmotors]

Thats right.

I have a choice of changing my cupra for a lower miles gti, so weighing it up at the moment.

but yes the gti is the 2e and cupra agg.

I had a prefacelift 2E gti, they tend to come with more bits than a cupra.......passenger airbag, factory sunroof etc.

From what I know the two engines run different management, 2E uses bosch digifant........not sure with the AGG, think its somekind of siemens effort??
Visually therers the different MAF, airbox, inlet manifold etc.

ok thanks for that, doesnt seem to be much else difference, so i might be changing to the gti.

I've got the AGG but it says its a Cupra sport GTi.. hmmm odd.

No Passenger side airbag or sunroof lol

I've got a GTI with AGG engine, with Airbag, with Sunroof (factory)

mine is an 8V cupra sport GTI, no sunroof and no passenger airbag.

seems like this is a common question and as before dependant on what sticker José wanted to put on the car every friday afternoon!

Ive noticed by driving both and looking at the official figures the normal GTI is way lower on mpg.

seems the cupra has a warm air pipe going to the air filter housing so perhaps more efficient?

Also cupra has lower profile tyres.

I get 36mpg on the cupra, but the gti was giving barely 30mpg

my facelift 1.4 sxe has this warm air pipe , but no sunroof , but passenger airbag?

 

[iluvmygti]

mines a gti but agg ive got passenger airbag and a sunroof and i can quite easily get 35 to the gallon x

 

[lcjay]

i was really surprised with how good they are on petrol.when i use the trip computer i get anything from 35-45 MPG on a trip
mines a gti cupra sport (AGG engine code) no passenger airbag or sunroof but dont like sunroofs anyway

i have 2 x 8v agg cupra sports . 1 has abs , 1 has headlight levelling motors neither have passenger airbags / sunroofs I reckon they are a bit of a lottery

 

[lcjay]

did some not come with ABS then? i thought all the later AGG models came with ABS?

 

[Gm8]

my black facelift has no abs

 

[projectgingawar]

you could get one with a factory "plus pack" that gave you abs, traction control and passenger airbags. mine say's it's a cuprasport gti on my v5 and i have no sunroof, no abs/t.c and no passenger airbags and i regularly get 35-40 mpg. ( a bit more now most of my interior is out) my engine is also the agg one. there are coolant pipes going to the throttle body. could these make the difference in mpg between the 2e and agg?
