Mike_Avant130TDI Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Can anyone clarify what the red I 's etc mean on Audi , VW etc. I have an A4 and the RED I means 130BHP But what if a VW Passat / A6 has a RED I etc ???? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPLiiX Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 A higher brake horse power just like yours! Some also have a red "D" and "I" bigger still i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatcat Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 My old 130 A3 Tdi had the red 'i'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 I think on VW it is usually red i is 110/115, red DI is 130 and red TDI is 150...although it does depend upon year as some 150 golfs are GTTDI instead!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheechy Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Slight correction - the red DI on the VW stands (or did stand for) the PD engines - I've got a 115 and its got the red D and I. The red I was used on the 110 I believe. May have changed on the later models though. I think Audi used a different system?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techie Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 They allways seem to be changing, and they get changed by owners. My TDi on the engine cover is all silver and mines a PD200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPLiiX Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Just noticed - an Sline has a red "T" with a aluminium trim round it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Botang Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Ive got a Passat (51 plate new shape) with a Red D and I but it says in the handbook it is a 74KW which is 100bhp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheechy Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Yup - it means that its a PD engine and not the previous generation engine (which would have been either a 90 or 110bhp). I think that might have changed since they went all PD though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brn7y Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 [ QUOTE ] Just noticed - an Sline has a red "T" with a aluminium trim round it! [/ QUOTE ] That's because its a 190ps, while the silver "T" one's have 150ps front wheel drive and 163ps quattro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shao_khan Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 Welcome to tyresmoke. VW badges are designed to confuse - thats all there is to it, makes it harder for second hand buyers to know what they are getting - sure of it!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmmacauley Posted August 13, 2004 Report Share Posted August 13, 2004 There is no way of judging what is under the bonnet by the badge really - so many different power outputs , badges , then the owner may change the badge anyway..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmmacauley Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 Any idea of 0-60 , 30-70 times etc? I used to have a Golf Gttdi 150 and it did 30-70 in 6.8 through the gears which was impressive , but not as impressive as the fact that if you just left it in third gear it did 30-70 in 7.0 exactly! The Golf was a bit handicapped by not being able to put much of it's power down if the road wasn't dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
