The 110 engines have a better variable geometry turbo (90bhp's had a simple externally wastegated turbo), some stronger engine components, larger injectors, stronger clutch and different engine mapping.

The early 90bhp TDI's had an external wastegate turbocharger.

Sticker in the spare wheel well should say 81kW for a 110.

thanks for the info totally forgot about the sticker in boot
i didnt get the manuals with the car
wikipedia says the 96 a4 red i has the "pd" pump
but i thought the only the higher bhp models had those

checked the sticker it says 66kw so its a 90 bhp
balls .suspected it was too slow for red i
