Rustynuts Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 When did the 197 bhp TDI 2.0ltr engine appear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBM Posted February 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 ..and from where. Must either be the 3L, but not in the A3 or a big typo - surely this must be a petrol engine. Anyway, a very negative article... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustynuts Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 I'll tell you what though, that would be some beast with that much power from a diesel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBM Posted February 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Not half - 190 bhp from the 1.9 is pushing it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32Ash Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 If that power figure is correct I like the sound of a diesel A3 S-line very much! Back on topic, isn't the article actually saying that the S-line is a desirable model though? In that they are bringing out a slightly lower spec'd one maybe due to demand by those who can't afford the extra £1k or so but still want the S-line badge? Or am I wrong?

R32Ash Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Oh, just read the article again. Their road testers obviously don't put Bling before comfort in the same way many of us would do. What's up with them? road captains the lot of 'em! Travel rugs are probably more their cup of tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian_C Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 [ QUOTE ] When did the 197 bhp TDI 2.0ltr engine appear? [/ QUOTE ] Indeed, 197 bhp is the output of the 2.0 TFSI hence they have got mixed up. PD 140 is highest current, PD 160 was mentioned at the launch of the Golg V but forthcoming Passat may see as much as PD 168. Only a slightly awkward note, one of my friends has just ordered a Sportback but ended up compromsing their spec as '5dr, PD 140, Sport trim and quattro' were not available together. Absolutely gutted Audi launch the PD 140 S line quattro just as delivery of said vehicle is imminent... Ian C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
