Mark Pitchford Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 I've been keeping track of the tuners and i's looking like the PD130 is really the way to go. I was going to go for a 2.5 quattro but who needs to when you can get the same power out of a chipped 1.9. As an added bonus, it'll be a lot lighter as well, which will mean even better performance.

Snail Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 I know you can do all that....and probably have better fuel economy......but the V6 does have that V6 rumble that cannot be had an a V4, and you can chip the V6 too, so you'll have loads more power (200+BHP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatcat Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 Go for the PD130 Mark, since I had mine chipped the performance is quite amazing, the torque really catches people out and with the Quattro drive, the whole package is great. I like my car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A3Floyd Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 my mate at work has an A4 2.5 tdi and it's brilliant. even the v6 sound on the engine is good and as for the torque; well, the fecker really does pull like a train. i'd love to have a go in a chipped one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Pitchford Posted August 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Just to clarify things:- It would be in an A6, as I need the room over an A4. Now, the only problem is that you can't get a A6 PD 130 quattro. I do like AWD, my last two cars being AWD but the added weight of the quattro system plus the V6 weight is a serious handicap to performance. Choices, choices!

simmolee Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 Chip a V6 180bhp TDI and the power goes to 210 and torque to about 450Nm. Ive done it and the car is transformed! 30 - 70 accel takes about 6.5secs which is not bad for something weighing 1600kg. Fuel consumption is about 38mpg overall which is not upto the PD's tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18ME Posted September 4, 2003 Report Share Posted September 4, 2003 Isn't the 3.0lt diesel A6 out soon with around 200bhp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
