How can you tell if an A4 really is a 130 tdi?

[starmist]

I'm being offered an A4 Avant tdi 130 SE. What are the visual differences between the 130 and the 110 (or 115, which ever it is).

I want to be sure I'm not being duped.

Reg doc normally states IIRC

Max net power is blank and it doesn't say anywhere else.

Did the 130 come with a six speed box and the 115 with a 5 speed or something fundamental like that?

I think your right on the above point. but not 100%, in the service book in will quote on the white sticker in the front with the vin etc a 'xxkw' figure will also be included, if you refer to the owners manual, or you know the formula relating to bhp this will tell you

On Golfs/Boras/Passats :
if the TDI is all red it's a 150bhp
if just the DI is red it's a 130bhp
and if just the I is red it's a 115/110bhp

I've driven a 115bhp Bora TDI and that had a 6 speed box.....

Not sure if this helps though for Audi's ?

Thanks, but I'm told both the 115 and 130 bhp Audis have only a red I.

I've looked in the service book and it says 96KW. Anyone any idea what that translates to in old money?

[starmist]

Just checked on Audi's website. 85kw is 115, so by calculation, 96kw is 130bhp.

Happy bunny!

Thanks for everyone's help.

However, there must be a fundamental difference between them otherwise everyone would be painting flogging their 115s as 130s and no one would know!
