macdond Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 With possible impending increase in weekly mileage it looks like the S4 Cab might have to go. Really poor trade in prices given by dealer: 54 S4 Cabriolet Silver/Black leather 4,200 Miles £27000 Anyway the point about is post is to get a general view on what the A4 2.0 TDI 170 Quattro is like as car (i.e. Any faults, any must haves). Thinking about an S Line in grey with black leather? If I am lucky I might be able to keep my current job which will mean no increase in mileage. Which means happy days are here again and my local petrol station will not have to shut........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adwhitworth Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 I am quite interested in the 2.0 170 myself. Audi don't want to seem to do the DSG/S-Tronic gearbox in the A4 though which is such a shame so I'll probably hang on now for either the B8 or a new engine in something else.. If they do, I'll be down at the dealers tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyollie Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 the DSG came in the 140 did it not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmmlmmam Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Sounds like a few more miles on your S4 Cab would be a good thing . You're almost rivalling CabGirl for low usage. The cost per mile will decrease significantly if you use it a bit more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson_R32 Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 DSG won't be available on the A4 until the B8 model. Although AFAIK I'm not sure whether this will be in combination with a Tranverse engine or a new Longitudinally designed engine. I'm guessing it'll be the former as the Passat DSG uses Transverse.

macdond Posted September 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 CabMac Depending on where I end up working will determine whether I keep the car or not. Got to say it has been the best car I have ever owned in terms of sheer performance and functionality . Get the feeling that a 2.0 TDI might be a bit of a let down, but the MPG being more than double of the S4 will be the deciding factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarskeBear Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 i had a s-line with the new 170 tdi last night, it was fast enough, was at 100mph before you knew it. big improvement over the 140. in 2nd it pushes you back with the accelleration. The one i had didnt feel to stable and was bit jumpy. Think it may be better behaved with Quattro model. It also pulled to right under braking(informed dealer of course). i have the 220Bhp on order so looking forward to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
