Is a diesel heavy????? I have no knowledge on this?
well it's your average 3.0 liter V6 weight.. if anything it's lighter since it has no spark plugs [8D]

actually diesels are quite heavy. none of this aluminum block, aluminum head stuff... diesels are all iron. I would say that the B8 3.0 TDI will be a solid 150-200 lbs heavier than it's 3.2 FSI counterpart.

The reason most of the VAG diesels never made their way over here was because we refused to use ultra-low sulfer diesel fuel. Since that's changed, expect to see way more european imports offering their diesel engines.

I've read that the Q3 will have a 2.0 turbo diesel, making 200 hp.
