My local dealer confirmed that there would be a 90 bhp 1.4 TDi this Spring/Summer. There is no sign of a 1.9 or new 2.0 TDi version, as "it doesn't need it".
I understand that this uprated 1.4 TDi will co-incide with the availability of a Multitronic or Tiptronic gearbox option, as a friend of mine has been talking to them about such a car and this is what they have indicated.

Because, until they recently downrated the 1.8T and uprated the V5, it was faster, more economical, cheaper, due to low end torque a better drive and lower tax liability. Ever wondered why VW V5s are so rare and Audi/Skoda/Seat do not use it?

2002 1.4 Petrol SE, silver with climate control.
Why are all the A2s in Lichfield are silver ? ? ?

Slightly off topic, but I'd concur that the 1.8T is a cracking engine. I think in the A4 the 1.8T or TQ is the best package, much nicer than the harsh 2.0 (though I've not tried the FSI). Good economy and useful performance.
I like the idea of a Multitronic A2 - though I'm not sure what sort of weight penalty this would mean on an A2. Tried it in an A4 and it worked a treat.
A product update for the A2 1.4 including a TDI 90bhp spec was sent to dealers in Sep 2001 (also had FSI). Both were planned to come in Q2 2002 !
Same update showed the 'clutchless manual' auto gearbox being dropped from development and the possibility of a 'real' auto being introduce in 2002.
