    The 120 isn't anywhere near as bad as it sounds, and performs as well as the 143 up to a point. If you aren't constantly 100% on the accelerator then there isn't a noticable difference between the 2 engines, it's only when pushing on a bit that the 143 adds that bit of extra oomph.

    Not sure about a remap, but I'd say it's essentially the same engine just down tuned.

    Is 104000 miles big for an 08 audi?


    can i have some views on this im unsure witch to buy

    se audi 09 120bhp

    se audi 09 143bhp

    s line 08 170bhp

    the sline looks the nicest but cost the same as the 09 143bhp. The 120bhp cost about 700 less and looks very nice

    all cars have the same miles

    what to do?

    I'd go 2009 143bhp, or go 120bhp and remap it to 150bhp.

    I had a 09 A4 2.0 TDI 120 SE for the past three years. Smooth quite engine for a diesel and lovely gear change. I found that the performance was adequate, it did not feel underpowered. It depends though what you are used to. At higher speeds on the motorway it always felt as though the wheels were needed to balanced. That was my only complaint, maybe it was just the car I had.
    Go and drive the 120BHP version, try and get a drive on the motorway and see if you like it. If you are happy with the performance it might give you the best value from your list.

    The SE spec is reasonable, gives you electric front seats, upgraded audio system with SD card slot and colour screen, audio controls on the steering wheel and a couple of other extras.

    Thanks for the info im thinking the 120bhp and doing a remap cause the car is that nice blue colour as well. Going to 150 shouldn make the engine work over to much if audi have a 143bhp in the same car is this right?

    the s line cars there lowered, anyone know would this make the car bouncy?

    Don't know anything really about re-mapping. The lower suspension in the S Line would give it a slightly harder ride. It would also have bigger wheels and lower profile tyres, also giving a slightly harder ride on poorer roads.

    Was doing a few trips in my cousin's 08 A4 this weekend. It's the 143bhp version, didn't feel lacking at all, steering is a bit vague though. This one is approaching 100k miles also and still looked very fresh.
