Hi Guys & Gals
I know this was probably discussed before, but I am new here and would like the expert opinions of you. I would like to know which is better, what’s the difference, do they make the same power and torque etc.
Cheers,
2E vs AFW

Yip, mostly...
However, the inlet manifold and the cams in the cabrio motors (simos) are quite a bit different to the 2E - makes good low down torque, but starts to drop off very early, in stock form made 85 Kw (= roughly 85Hp on the wheels).
I have the ADY in my car, very good driveable motor, but not a "great" performer. Changing the cam and manifold is an option, and not a big issue

Re: 2E vs AFW
Yes I know this post is old , I'm only posting this as a matter of interest and not to be funny or anything. It's not the first time I have read/heard guys say that the AFW is 88kw,this is not true.
I have an AFW and I actually managed to get my car's manufacturing certificate from the VW factory
in P.E. It states that the AFW is 85kw.
Wanted to post a pic but can't seem to get it right.
Anyway,cheers guys.
