Drove the boss's Audi A4 the other day the annual tax on that is NOTHING 

Only for the first year and then its 90 quid.

But to be quite frank, it means hes got the awful low powered diesel unit and its worth paying the extra to get a driveable car!

Despite my constant ramblings about the 1.9tdi, it's not a bad engine (cambelt is a shit on a4), blooming economical, and I look after one that has 270k on clock, and still pulls like it has most of the 130bhp if left the factory with.

We do have some decent maps for it as well which will take it to approximate 170, but unlikely the drivetrain would hold out for long. And as this example is mrs tbs dad, he doesn't use the 130 it's got!

Not had too many dealings with 2.0tdi, although my neighbour is getting a skoda one soon.

But what have vauxhall got? 1.9cdti? Mightily unimpressive in my mates insignia in 150 guise - constantly thrashing the box to make it go

all the room you want for working on one.(once you took the front of the car off)

Yeah, its the taking the front of the car off to change a longetudinal engine that gets my goat up...

the up side is decent spec audi can dish all the power out to all fours.
