Do TDi Autos have more power than manuals??
auf_wiedersehen_pet:
Do TDi Autos have more power than manuals or am I just gullible?
See this auction on eBay. After the 21st picture is says that.............
OF COURSE, BEING A `96 MODEL, SHE HAS THE UPRATED
120 BHP MOTOR, WHICH WAS FITTED TO THE
AUTOMATICS ONLY. THE TORQUE OUTPUT WAS RAISED
TOO, MAKING THESE LATER AUTOS A LOVELY MACHINE
TO OWN AND DRIVE.
Is that true?
:oops: :oops: :oops:
bilge rat:
later autos had e.d.c, dont know about anything else. ones ive drove have always seemed lower on power compared to the manual but always put it down to the box....
Disco Matt:
As I understand it the later electronic auto TDIs had more power. However, I suspect this was a case of tweaking what was already there rather than adding new parts. Certainly you can do wonders for any TDI with a good service followed by a few tweaks.
Also bear in mind that the auto box most likely saps all the extra power anyway!
beast5680:
autos do have slightly more power than manuals to take into account the power consumption of the auto box
Range Rover Blues:
The auto box can also handle more power, but whether the engines came ex-works any different I find a little suspicious.
