Default Silly Q... about Diesel...

What size TDI motor came in the Euro A8s in 1997-1998? The 2.9 V6? Did it have the same transmission as ours?

Default Re: Silly Q... about Diesel...get scared....

The only diesel we had in Europe during this period, was teh V6 2.5 TDI of 150 HP. It was nice but that was about it. I think they launched the V8 3.3 TDI engine in 2000. A lot of power...on acceleration it is nothing close to a S8, but from 60 until anything around 140 miles an hour, it keeps really close to an S8; By experience. A lot of torque this v8 diesel engine.<ul><li><a href="http://www.autointell-news.com/news-2000/July-2000/July-11-00-p6.htm">http://www.autointell-news.com/news-2000/July-2000/July-11-00-p6.htm</a</li></ul>
