Does anybody know if the 2005 polo engine is the same as the 66kw 2005 audi a2 engine? I know it's rated at 80hp instead of 90hp like the audi, but it does have more than the 75hp that they both had in 2002. I was thinking it was the same re-done engine in both models with a limiter and possibly the lack of an intercooler.
Is the polo engine the same as the a2?

Hi George - I assume you'r talking diesel here
I've read nothing on the 80hp Polo engine but I suspect it relates to improvements in the injection system. The A2 was available with both 75 and 90hp tdi engines and both were aftercooled. There were significant differences in the build with no simple limiter.

Sorry, I forgot to mention tdi. Yes this is a tdi I am talking about. I am aware of the 75 and 90 that the a2 had. My question is focused around specifically the engines made in 2004+, the compression ratio was changed to 18.00:1 from 19.50:1 and turbo along with other things was changed on the a2 to get the 90hp. I was wondering if the polo of that year (2004+) had the same engine it had before (19.50:1). or did it get the newer compression ratio too but lacked the other upgrades the audi received.
