Maybe @unitzero can help.Is there any possibility you could take the engine cover off and take a photo of the engine?
I dont know if your aware but it looks like these new post WLTP engines are not dual injection anymore, you may want to have a read of this:

Not sure if this is still needed but I managed to get some time whilst it was still light today to get some pics of the engine
Still has the label on down there ..

Currently driving a MK7 GTI and it’s coming up to 3 years old so I decided I fancied a change.
Started looking at replacements in May and ended up ordering an A4 Avant Black Edition 2.0TFSI (190) and planned on collecting it in September... but as some may know there have been crazy delays and there’s a chance I may have had to wait until early next year !
At this point I started looking for something available sooner from Audi UK stock but had no joy in getting the right spec, at this point I thought maybe I could afford a used S3 sportback but for my monthly budget all I could afford was a 66 plate which would have only had a years left of warranty and would need MOT’s etc which isn’t what I wanted.
Long story short. I was speaking to Stafford Audi about a used S3 and the saleswoman checked what deal she could do on a new build and it fitted nicely within my budget so I went and ordered one.
Ibis White (non black edition)
Technology Package
Supersport Seats
Roof rails
Possibly getting delivered in February
I didn’t mind waiting that long for an S3 and it gives me time to sell my modified GTI or strip back to standard and PX
Sorry for the essay, but thought I’d get a thread up so I can say Hi and add progress of the build once the S3 arrives.
Couple of my previous cars ..
Current GTI
Old B7 Avant

How can you tell?Thank you for the pics, that's definitely single injection.
How is the exhaust noise now you've probably put a few miles on it?
There is no fuel rail or sensor, this engine is dual injection for comparisonHow can you tell?
Looks identical to mine when I topped up the oil the other day. I take the cover off so i don’t spill it everywhere.
Must have another look later. Almost sure mine looks like unit zeros engine.There is no fuel rail or sensor, this engine is dual injection for comparison

Its reported that single injection does give lower MPG in city driving.Does this explain my poor mpg ? Or it might just be the fact that I only have 770 miles on the engine so far.
I’ll try not to worry about my single injection and just enjoy the car. Exhaust is actually getting a bit more lively I’ve noticed more people turning heads in the street as I drive past and lift off. Still yet to record it from outside though !
And I still want a res delete

I'm finding its worse than the previous one I had, about 7mpg less. At 900 miles now so it should improveI only do short trips to work, I’m getting sub 20mpg
On the trip to and from the Audi Sport meet today up in Stafford I did manage to get 35mpg though !

That's the difference between single and dual injection. Nobody buys these cars for good mpg but especially around town driving it's makes a huge difference.I'm finding its worse than the previous one I had, about 7mpg less. At 900 miles now so it should improve
How are you finding the exhaust noise?Haven't really noticed much myself, surprised if I'm honest.
I actually prefer this MY19 car, its easier to live with....somehow, if you know what I mean?

As @JonW states I think it sounds more grown up. And the true test was when I set off rather enthusiastically (Dynamic mode), from dropping my daughter off, she told me it sounded loud and throaty lol. Kids know best !!!!I've ordered my S3 and I was a bit disappointed to hear that I won't have the crackle and pops. Reading your post, JonW, I feel a bit better now. And I'm sure I won't mind at all when I receive it

I'll be coming from a GTD with the external soundaktor so I guess it's about time I grew up LOL
