Default Weight of 2002 A4 3.0 vs 2.8

Anyone know what the weight differences between a manual 2002 A4 3.0 and say a manual 2000 A4 2.8?

I understand the new 2002 are supposed to be lighter in weight, but I don't have any specs.
Also is the new 1.8 also weigh less?

Default The 3.0 engine is all aluminum - and offsets the weight increase the 2002 car has due to

the added leg room in the rear and the stiffness increase. Hence the 1.8T for 2002 weighs more since there was no change to lighten the engine.
