    What are the engine sizes and bhp in the diesel audi a4 b7 model?

    1.9tdi 115bhp
    2.0tdi 140bhp
    2.0tdi 170bhp
    2.7tdi 180bhp
    3.0tdi 230bhp

    Unlikely to see the last 2 on that list, and I'd say the 170 is rare enough in Ireland.

    I googled it and found it in about 5 seconds. Could you not have done that?

    The entry level A4 is a 2.0TDI 120bhp. I Dunno why ROR didnt mention it!

    It was only introduced about a year ago or so, to make the A4 more affordable.

    The 120BHP is only available in the B8 A4. imeddyhobbs asked for B7s.

    Hi guys. Just looking for some opinions here. Am thinking of buying a 09 2.0 l audi a4, 120 bhp. Just looking for some opinions from anyone who owns one or from anyone who is just in the know!;) What would the power be like? 120bhp - would the car be a bit sluggish considering the size of it? Any opinions greatly appreciated!!

    PM me if your looking for one, I have a couple of 143 SE's

    We changed from a 140BHP 2006 to a new 120BHP this year. We only went for the 120 based purely on the cost to change. To be honest, I do miss the kick of the 140, but 120 is perfectly adequate for this car and it doesn't feel underpowered in normal driving.

    It actually feels faster than a 130ps Insignia, and its not far behind a 160ps either, believe it or not.

    120bhp is plenty in the A4.

    I beg to differ! I recently had my A3 2.0L TDI (170PS) serviced and Audi game me a 2.0L TDI (120 PS) A4 and it was the worst thing I've driven in a long time. The fuel efficiency was dire and it took a lot of effort to get it going.

    At work I have access to a 1.9 (105 PS) TDI Audi A3 and that's bad but to be honest it feels better than the 120PS A4!

    Caveats: The A4 I was driving was an 'estate' looking one (Avant?) so may be heavier than a saloon A4 (I don't know). It was also brand new and my 170 PS A3 is only 1 year old so that may make a difference in the feel. However the new A4 120 PS TDI is not a car I'd ever buy.

    You'll be able to buy it in a few years time as a new generation SEAT Exeo, probably with the next generation diesel engines and a lot more equipment as well.

    I just don't get why anyone would spend A4 money - a German executive saloon no less - and then skimp on putting a half decent engine in it. Actually I do know - they want to impress the neighbours and don't give a damn how the car drives. In comparison (AFAIK) the BMW 318d is 150bhp, the 320d 170ish.

    Yeah it's better than a 90bhp 1.9TDI but that's like saying a kick in the arse is better than a knee in the nuts...

    I'd agree with this, why on earth go for the 120? even the 140 is underpowered, the 170 should be the miniumum imo. Or save up a bit more and get the 211 2.0T.

    0-62 in 11s is dog slow, no matter what torques you've got.

    Thanks guys for all the replies. pburns I indicated from the get go that I didn't know a lot about the A4 or it's engines which was the whole reason for posting - to look for peoples opinions and the reason I'm interested in the A4 has absolutely nothing to do with trying to impress the neighbours.

    Doesn't matter. There's feck all between them,

    I disagree. They would clock approx. the same top speed but the 1.9 would leave it for dead from 0 to 100km. There is a meaning to engine liters and sizes. There are not just digits.

    Ye guys are very fussy. Most cars both petrol and diesel bought in Ireland are less than 140bhp, so what are you on about?

    The 120bhp has "around" the same amount of torque (per foot lb) as the 140bhp, in real terms its not going to be that noticeable on the road.

    is this a joke or are you actually saying that .1l less engine capacity makes a car much faster?
