2.0TFSi Performance

Anybody have one of these in FWD? 211ps

0-60 is slower than the Quattro, but I am sure that 0-100 must be better due to the lighter weight. Looking for a tune up too, but still too early maybe?

Just ordered an SE in Brilliant Black, Sports Cloth seats, Advanced Key, B&O, 18's, Nav and Phone Low. Reading some other posts I think I may have swapped the seats for AMI/Cruise and electrics mirrors! (Strict £29k budget)

Didn't realise they had stolen the SD card slot, vanity mirror light and no parking sensors????

How tight! :zx11:

SD slot should come on a SE sholdnt it? The one I test drove did

SD slot is missing if you have NAV

Not heard of anyone with a 2.0T. Dealer couldn't get me one to test drive since none were in the country.

Think too early for tune up. Give it a few months and there should be a few solutions out there!

Yep, i had the same issue on the A5 I am getting. The 2.0T is so new there are hardly any about to test drive yet.

I test-drove one over the weekend. Review posted below...

Thanks for the er indepth review.

Only ever considered a manual trans and budget limits me to FWD only so that will free up about 150lbs and a few more horses at the wheels should alay any initial performance fears. Also, the dealer should have made sure the car had more than 170 miles on it, the harshness up top can easily be attributed to a still tight motor (less than 10hours run time)

The chip option will also help here, and by looking at the previous engine 40+ BHP should be available.

I am coming from a chipped 320d with around 200bhp and 400nm. 0-60 I have timed at 7.3. 1 up with half tank - has caught out many a Golf GTi/Focus ST driver from 60-100+ and above - Not looking to go backwards now!

Can I bring this back to life? Anyone actually driving one of these around yet??

Oct 15th I get mine, anyone before that??

Still not heard of any about!

You waiting as well?? Can't wait to get mine - have you been for a test drive in one? I have only driven the 143 diesel - smooth, but not quite enough grunt.

Anyone know of any review sites A4/A5 with the new engine?

The 2.0TFDI is a good engine so I hear. it won the 'International Engine of the year' for its class this year too.

I couldn't get one to test drive either (I'm getting a 2.0 A5 though, not an A4).

Yes waiting.....not picking up until Dec as I am out of the country. I drove the 1.8T petrol which I found a bit sluggish.

Picked mine up on Tuesday and have to say you won't be disappointed. Have only done about 200 miles since so haven't pushed the engine too hard but up to now the car and engine are even better than I hoped for.

Nice to know....so you can answer the question that has been thrown around for ages....exhaust pipes - 2 on one side or one each side?

I second that!

Is yours FWD or Quattro? Just wondering if that may make a difference to the exhaust layout as well.

:zx11: Damn......ah well that's life!

2.0T Saloon has twin exhaust on the left. The 2.0T Avant has one on each side. Read that on the PDF brochure download from the Audi site

Me too....was just hoping it was wrong!!

Don't suppose you could let us know what MPG is coming through at? Early days I know, but I am running it as a company car and this will need to be reasonable.

I am hoping for a 'real' 35 combined...

I have a B7 Avant with the 2.0T FSI, I think they have overhauled the engine for the B8, but mine is 220ps in FWD mode.

I am very impressed with it so far after coming back to petrol after having the 1.9TDI unit.

Not sure on 0-60 time but it feels pretty quick and gets to 100mph frightenly easy as I find out when I put my foot down overtaking the abundance of farm vehicles around my way :D

Fuel consumption wise I am returning avg. 450 miles out of a 70 litre fill up so looking around the 30mpg mark- heard the new engine is meant to be a lot more economical.
