difference in torque for same vehicle and 3L engine size when they are a 3.2??

[tbc]

i had a well known dealership tell me a R32 had a 1.8 engine about a month ago

I made sure i proved it had a 3.2 and made him feel like he'd just crawled inside his own ass before i left with a wide grin on my face

There was a bug fixed yesterday where engine size was being rounded up or down. 3.2 would go to 3, 3.5 to 4, etc.

As for the torque difference, we use what the DVLA has on record. Also, ads users can put in any value they wish, so for example if the car has been modified then there might be a reason to increase it.

That's a pretty serious bug for a car enthusiasts site!!

I've heard of people referring to their 4.4l BMW and being correceted that it is actually 4.396....
