looks the same - just says

2.0 TDI

I added an S-line badge under the TDI bit as i think it looks better (did it on my old B7 as well!)

I had read somewhere weeks ago that the 170 TDi has twin exhausts (one each side) rather than the single exhaust on the 143 TDi. This may of course be absolute nonsense!

Anyone know?

both on one side just like the 143. The 2.0 TFSI has one on each side

It is only the 6 cylinder models and 2.0T Avant which have exhausts each side

It's the B7 which has two separate exhausts to distinguish the 170TDi over the 140TDi - at least mine does anyhow, however the B8 170TDi I had on test last week had silver '2,0TDi' badging and a twin-tailpipe exhaust finisher on the LHS only - so indistinguishable from a 143 I guess ?
