320d power kit
Apologies in advance if there is an existing thread on this. Hard to search on smartphone.
Wondering if anyone has looked at AU availability of the power upgrade for 320d? Ie, can it be ordered from factory. If so, any insights on improved response and also on pricing? |

The last I read on a google search was the homologation was taking extra time for oz. That was back in nov. I assume nothing happened in dec.
As far as I know from friends who have had power kits this is done by the dealer. You would have to ask if factory can do it. But if the dealer does it before you take delivery there isn't much inconvenience to you.

It's currently listed as an optional accessory on the dealers AU sites so I assume it's available here.
Not sure on +power/smoothness as I dont' know anyoen who has gone down this route... I have friends that have used 3rd party ones just not the factory kit |

I just checked the site and it still says awaiting homologation approval. It was first listed late nov and status does not appear to have changed.

If you want to deprioritise sporty driving and handling but prioritise space... Toureg v6? (not the 150TDI) It has the zf 8 speeder too rather than the nasty Dsg
