A4B6 Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 How many different shades of grey were available on B6? Also is the 2.0fsi engine any better than the standard 2.0? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetrolDave Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 [ QUOTE ] Also is the 2.0fsi engine any better than the standard 2.0? [/ QUOTE ] Depends on your definition of "better". The FSI can be more economical, but to me every FSI I have driven sounds harsh and diesel like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s4_sat Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 And lacking in torque unless it has a turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Now you've asked all 929 questions on the A4, have you decided if you're getting one yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigmat Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 I have to say that being in a similar position, I quite like following his questions as they are the same as mine. One of the thing's that's swinging me more towards Diesel (personally) is that if you take a 150 FSI engine, the Torque figure is roughly the same in Lb/Ft, if you get the 130 PD TDi the Torque figure is 210 Lb/Ft thus making much more relaxing crusing. (And the FSi is designed for Super98 Unleaded) Both Greys look nice IMHO. A4B4 Try to get hold of a brochure for the age of car you after (eg off ebay) It saves annoying the locals!

It just irritates me when people ask 101 questions when a quick search on here would reveal most of the answers and even then they don't seem to acknowledge the time and effort members put in to composing often long and fact filled replies (and I'm not including myself in that). For what it's worth, I had a 2003 Atlas Grey 130 Tdi Sport so I do know a little bit about the car and I posted a quite lengthy 3 year review on it covering reliability, performance, economy, everything.

craigmat Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Thanks Milo (It's the same on 306GTi6.com) (Don't laugh, at least I'm looking to move on!) I do agree, lurking & Searching is the way forward, and only ask important questions or you tend to get flamed! Milo's Review I think I've found what I want and was better informed in the whole process by a fair bit of loitering around here for the last 3 months.

Milo Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 I wouldn't saw flamed, it's just you'll find less and less people respond with replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eolair Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Echo Milo's thoughts. TSN is a v helpful place, with plenty of knowledge. The 'basics' for want of a better description have been covered many times, especially for older models. No need to reinvent the wheel. Personally I think Dolphin is one of the classiest colours on the market, and not common either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milo Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 One thing I would say about 03 plate and older Dolphin Grey A4s is unless it was a ticked option, the lower valances aren't painted and the colour of them is very similar to Dolphin but not the same. I originally picked Dolphin but didn't like the fact the contrast between the unpainted valances and the paintwork was not enough and it looked odd in my opinion. I went for Atlas in the end to give it a bit more contrast. Of course you could get them painted if you wanted to but it's going to add to the cost if anyone's on a budget From late 03 plate/53 plate onwards, I think the lower valances were colour coded as standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
