Hi everyone, I'm new here. I'm looking to buy a '99 Albrambra for my Wife as we have just brought my son into the world and with him and his 2 half sisters it's hard for all of us to fit into our BMW Coupe ! :1zhelp: There is one in a garage near to be, at a good price but being the time of year it is the garage is shut. It's a TDI (with a Red i) so with this can i tell what power it is ??
Thanks,
Mike.

Hi Mike

The "I" would normally indicate the 110 HP engine. I have been told of people painting the I with red paint. There will be others, more knowledgeable than myself able to tell you a more definite way of identifying the 90 or 110 HP engines.

Happy New Year

Engine code, 1Z and AHU are 90PS and AFN and AVG are 110PS. Also, the 90PS is very slow.
