Various 1.8T and 2.0 engines

[dannyboy32]

Hi all

bit of a dull first post, but I'm looking to replace my ageing A3 1.8T Sport with (probably) an A4. When I got the A3, I think all 1.8T engines were 150bhp, but now I'm seeing on autotrader that there are 163bhp variants, and even 190bhp ones.

I was just wondering if anyone could outline what different outputs the various 1.8T engines and the 2.0 / 2.0T engines have? I don't really mean the newer FSI engines but the ones from around 2000 to 2003 approx. Thanks

P.S. I did have a look on google but couldn't find a definitive list.

The early 1.8T engines in the A4 B6 model were 150bhp too, with 163bhp variants appearing quite quickly. The 190bhp versions appeared in the s-line models in 2004. The standard 2.0 puts out 143bhp I believe which didnt change until the FSi came out which was after your 2003 date range in any case! The 2.0T is a new engine for the B7 model so again wasnt out in your date range!

Hi, i also beleive some sport models of the 2003-2004 era have the 190BHP, 6 speed gearboxes too.

thanks. The reason I ask is that I had my A3 remapped to 205-ish bhp, so I think it going back to a 150bhp model would be too much of a wrench now. Hence trying to look out for A4's with at least the 163bhp engine.

S3/S4 would be nice but only the ones with >9 0k miles are within my budget

You could always re-map the A4, 163 to 200+ and 190 to 240+, mixed with the six speed manual box should liven things up a tad!!

that is tempting, I saw Revo can get 240 bhp out of the 190 engine.

Problem is I am kind of meant to be saving for a wedding next year (if I ever get round to popping the question) so whatever car I buy over the next couple of months will be my last outlay for a good while!

You won't need to pop the question, it's a leap year this year, feb 29th would be a good day to disappear looking at A4's. (my wife popped the question on leap year!,its traditional for the girl to ask!) Good luck......

cheers, I gotta do it soon just to get some peace and quiet

Had a good browse on Autotrader last night, but you just don't seem to get a lot of Audi for the amount of money I have to spend this time. The ones I like all have pretty high mileage, which is the reason for selling my A3.

I'm starting to have thoughts about a Golf V6 now. Think the Mk. IV Golf's look a bit dull from the outside, but I like the idea of having a V6 again (had an Alfa V6 before the A3, and still miss that glorious sound!). 4WD sounds good too, as the A3 is wheelspin city!

Any of you guys had any experience of the V6 4motion?
