Hi,
Last week I picked up my new A4 2012 2.0TFSI Quattro Avant 180hp 6MT.
My old car is an A4 B5 1998 and moving from the A4 1998 to the A4 2012 was like traveling into the future

My car is well equipped also I think. I got 2xS-Line which is S-Line inside and outside with the 30mm suspension.
I also got it with the B&O sound system and this I really like.
The blue color is called aruba blue.

Here is some pictures:






The IHI turbo should be able to go up to 300hp I read.



Inside the car:





180hp in this car is ok up to about 4000 rpm but after this nothing happens.
The original torque in this version of the car is 320nm (236 ft*lbf) but this will drop at 4000 rpm

Here is a test from 80km/h to 120km/h in about 5.5sec which I think is very slow :|

So now I need to find some one that can tune my car. The only one I know of that is able to tune a 2012 is GIAC but in my case I don't know if they are able to tune the 180hp quattro version?

Do you guys from the US have the 180hp version also in your country or only the 211hp version?

Reason for me to get the down graded 180hp version is that in my country we have to pay hp fee. And this fee make the 211hp version much more expensive. My 180hp version is a $100.000,- car and this makes me cry when I see what I could get in some other country..

oh, and sorry for my bad English. It's not my native language.

regards,

 

Your english is pretty decent, no apology needed!

The US only got the 211hp 2.0T, but I'm sure you'll have no trouble getting yours tuned.

Nice purchase!

 

I agree, your english is decent. Beautiful Avant. What country are you from?

 

What is the material of the seats? Is it cloth & leather?

 

It's called Alcantara.



morphola: Congrats on the new "Avant". It's the only way to fly.

 

Norway, I'd guess.

 

Thanks for your replay.

Yes, I am from Norway.
gunsmoker: How did you know? (was it the price tag on the car?)

The material on my seats is cloth, not alcantara. I had to pay extra for alcantara and I did not want to use more money on the seats. Also the clothing is a bit darker.

btw. I was searching for some mods and found a vent mounted boost gauge:

I really want to see my boost pressure when I get my tune and this one looks nice.
What do you think?

regards,

 

The name of the dealership is on the license plate frame.

 

Thanks. It does look a bit different than alcantara...if I had the choice, I would get the cloth anyway. The alcantara looks very hard to clean.

 

Aruba is still my favorite A4 color. PO'ed Audi dropped it in America.
Congrats on your car. You have very good taste.
