Differences between VAG cars
Discussion
Chaps
My knowledge of all things VAG has been called into question, and I need help settling the office argument.
A new, young sales bod has started, and there was a jovial discussion in the office about the fact he "is a cock 'cos he drives an audi". I jokingly said he and one of the other Audi drivers should have bought the Skoda, after myself being impressed with a couple of them i owned in the past.
So, it turns out new boy is straight from a sales role at an Audi showroom, and starts telling me there are differences between the A3 and Octavia. He agreed with me they are based on the same floorplan, and we agreed that the main differences between the two were the quality of the interiors.
Anyway, he then mumbled something that "There are differences in the engines. The CR 170 engine in the Audi has different internals to the skoda. Especially with the MPi and stuff"
Now, I thought the MPi engines were just a moniker for the (older) petrol engines from the VAG group? However, I settled to agree to disagree with the boy as I'm never complacent enough to think I know everything.
So, over to the experts here, are there any differences between the two? Do I need correcting and have I got to go back with my tail between the legs and tell him he was right, in front of the whole team?
