People are actually waking up - HELLO ! Latest one to smell the diesel is Daz........ Can't remember anyone migrating over to the heavy polluters from the darkside... now, whats the number for Millers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s4dreamer Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 We knew it would happen one day. Pity Gaunty went the other way, but he'll be back one day, when the lure of the torque gets to him. I was out on the motorway in daytime today, for the first time in a while, and every A4 I passed was a 1.9Tdi, with only one Quattro amongst them. It would be interesting to know exactly what percentage of A4's that Audi sell new are 1.9 TDi's (and A3's for that matter, but I don't see as many A3 1.9 TDi's).

Gaunty Posted October 10, 2003 Report Share Posted October 10, 2003 I might be using the light stuff but my heart is still black, don't fear I'll be back someday. I quite fancy the new A3 2.0 TDi, its a stunner! Petrol is sh1t, I hate the way you have to torture your engine to get any speed out of the bloody things.

[/ QUOTE ] On my daily round trip, most if not all A4'a are Tdi's very few quattros about, I may spot the odd 1.8T in the slow lane.... Of the A3's, I see a few Tdi's and hardly a quattro amongst 'em and these all seem to be fairly new one's either 02 or 03's. Quite a few Ming blues though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1.9TDi developed useful power at anything more than tickover, and it never sounded like it was being thrashed even if it was. Either a diesel or a V8 petrol for me from now on.
