secondly YES ! There is a polestar upgrade and a very significant one too , probably worth the money .. This is for the 2.4 D3 AWD version
takes your 163 bhp D3 to 225 bhp and your 420 nm of torque to 460 nm , this makes it very similar power to the D5 polestar upgrade .
Polestar upgrades are usualy only a 20 bhp increase but yours will be over 6o bhp

This will utterly transform your car and driving it the way you do now the fuel consumption will be no worse . A remarkable power increase for a "standard" road car ..

So I assume it's nor available for the 2Litre FWD jobby.
