Bradmax57 Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Thinking of changing the S3 soonish and was thinking about a A4 2.5TDI just wondering what peoples opinions are of them good or bad, and how much better they would be over a 130 1.9, obvioulsy the v6 sounds better but ive never driven a 2.5 yet, also if anyone has had one chipped what they are also like would be good aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBM Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 IIRC I was warned off the 2.5 tdi when I was buying my 1.9. I was told the extra weight of the engine hit the performance figures quite hard and also upset the fuel economy figures. You also don't see too many around - why not buy a 1.9 and re-map it, or buy a used B7 3.0Tdi - there are some atound already.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradmax57 Posted May 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 mmm, i had a feeling the extra weight plus the quattro might have that effect, I'd love a B7 3.0Tdi just a bit too much $$$ at the moment, maybe have to get a 330d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBM Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 I'd check out the figures on the website, but I don't think you gain much. You'd be better off buying a B6 1.9TDI 130 Quattro GmbH Sport and re-map to about 170PS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 This appeared this morning in a new A8, reputedly the most powerful diesel soot chucker engine in the World. Any takers for a Diesel S4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Like UBM, I was also warned off the 2.5, but according to the Sales Monkey, it was because the engine used in the 2.5 was of the older type than the 1.9 PD. I can't say either way - I've no idea, but that was what I was told. He said the 130 was quicker. Who knows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark_90 Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 My uncle drives a 2.5 TDI and there's not much in it. Stick with the 1.9 and remap it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the new 4.2 V8 from Audi has 326 bhp but what is the torque figure? That in the rear of a new TT or the LeMans would be nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBM Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 I wonder what the emissions are like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradmax57 Posted May 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Found this nice 02 plate one, has 65k so not too keen on the miles im sure its fine tho, but no leather , it does have the symphony stereo so could easily upgrade to sat nav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chav Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 How much is it mate? The 1.8T s-line is a lot smoother and more fun to drive... maybe you could reconsider? especially if you're paying a premium for the TDI one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UBM Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Which body kit has it got - audi sport? Looks like a gmbh at first glance but not on an 02 plate for 14k! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durrsaku Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Agree with above really £14k sounds a lot of money. Real value for the miles would be about £10k max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 If it's up for 14k through trade they won't be expecting to get that. I reckon you could get it for £12k with a lot of haggling. The miles are high for an 02 plate but if has been well maintained and not thrashed, those kind of miles on a VAG diesel are nothing really. I would still do some hunting around though. Anyone buying that car will be paying a premium for kit and the RS6 wheels. If it were me I would rather get a newer/lower mileage car for my money and then put the wheels etc on afterwards as and when money allowed.

Bradmax57 Posted May 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 The advert states factory gmbh bodykit maybe somethings iffy, think ill try and find a lower mileage sport with leather, can always get the wheels and kit if I really wanted laters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
