tdi 140 Sport or 170 Sport?

[Agent_Trig]

Hi,

I'm new here and have a few questions regarding the tdi Sport models.

1 - Other than the 30bhp difference, what other difference are there between these two models?

2 - Is the 170 Sport much better/faster than the 140 Sport?

3 - What things do I need to look out for when viewing them or what things should I ask about when viewing them? (I'll be looking at around 2004 models - facelift).

Thanks

I'm afraid you won't get a 170Hp model at that age - it was only introduced very late last year 2006.

Thanks for that but it just says Audi A3 03>

Does anyone know exactly when the 170 version came out? Cause there's people on Autotrader selling 170's on 04 plates. Check out my previous link.

If you use the resource on Parkers you can answer your question yourself....

Sorry for the confusion.
I know it means 2003 onwards but I was just wondering whether the 170 came out in 2003 or 2006 like someone earlier has stated.

Because if it did indeed come out in 2006 then it would still be listed in Parkers 2003 onwards page.

Earliest 170 I can see is for 3-door sport is 28 May 2007

There's a 5-door Special Edition Sports back with 170 that started production in Jan 07 and stopped Apr 07.

Thats very strange then as there's a lot of people (including traders) selling 170's on Autotrader from 04 onwards...

Yes, my mistake.
If you open the model detail there is a "Production" field that shows when it was available. May 2006 I am afraid.
