Hi,

Can someone tell me when the TDi got the boost to 90bhp as this is the model i'm looking for. were both TDi's produced at the same time or was there a change over point.

Just to make my search a little easier.

Cheers

Marc
 
2004 is the short answer :D

it has other noticeable features too (it will have the slatted grille for example as per the later A2's) also, rear brake discs fitted to 90's as opposed to 75's.

HTH
 
Yes, model year 2004 and 2005 so you need production date /first on roead from ~8/2003 or newer.
But the 90PS is a different engine, so they also produced the 75PS until 2005.
 
The 90PS is called (MKB= engine code): ATL
All (75PS and 90PS) TDi have 1,4 Litres but are not identicle.

Here a list: kW: PS: Zyl.: Date:
AUDI A2 AMF 55 75 1.4l 3 2000-06 2003-08 TDI
AUDI A2 ANY 45 61 1.2l 3 2001-03 2005-08 "D..":TDI
AUDI A2 ANY 45 61 1.2l 3 2001-03 2005-08 Export-Laend.: TDI
AUDI A2 ATL 66 90 1.4l 3 2003-11 2005-08 TDI
AUDI A2 AUA 55 75 1.4l 4 2000-06 0000-00 16V
AUDI A2 BAD 81 110 1.6l 4 2002-05 2005-08 FSI
AUDI A2 BBY 55 75 1.4l 4 2002-05 2005-08 16V

Thanks for the info,

So I'm looking for late 03 TDi, don't really want to pop to the UK to get one but I'm one will turn up over here in time.

its a little like looking for a needle in a haystack to be honest.

I'll keep you all posted.

Would i be right in saying that all TDi 90's have rear discs as appose to the 75's drums :confused:

Absolutely correct, unless someone has decided to retrofit drums instead for some bizarre reason, but that is so unlikely.

However, don't confuse a TDi 90 with the 1.6 FSi, which also has rear discs.

Its either of those two I'm after so whatever come up first, i am swaying my to the TDi side though, with the amount i drive I'd only fill the tank 4/5 times a year.
 
But you will find out if it's an FSI. It has the bigger (thicker) rear spoiler. And this one also is mounted higher.
See image.
 
Tis interesting that Audi would take the time and effort to move and add a different spoiler to the FSi. That's something else I've learnt... :)
 
The 1.6FSI and the 1.2TDi have the big spoiler. (higher mounted and therefore a bit longer. And thats why it is bigger at the edges but for a good view, not in the middle. So the rear window is different (wholes are higher).
I am quite sure, I know why that is (if anyone is interested):

They invented the 3l car as a very lightweight and aerodynamic car. This has a cw=0,25.
The normal 1.4 A2 has cw=0,28.

This good aerodynamics needed the higher mounted spoiler. But this one is even in the back view. As Audi decided to make it a mass-produced car, they decided to to a deeper mounted spoiler for all the ladies out there ;) :D and other people who would worry because of the bad view through the rear mirror (you have two rear windows: one above and one under the spoiler).

As you see in the image, the normal spoiler is not working realy effective! It is 1,5-2 " too deep mounted. Thats why I in person decided to fit the projektzwo-spoiler.

By the way: the last image shows the producer/and part of the production of that video, you linked here: http://www.a2oc.net/forum/showthread.php?t=6899&highlight=video http://youtube.com/watch?v=nDL41d-LsP8&feature=related

Yes, there are less than 7000 cars with the 90PS in the world;)

and only 952 sold in the UK up until Sept 05 (5% of all UK sales were 90PS but I'm not too sure if that included CI registrations).

Maybe they were so rich in the CI they only bought 90PS models ;)
