Figures for the new 170 non-quattro common rail diesel seem to be difficult to find. I've found some and compared them to the 140 version as I know there's a few people looking at the choice.

I'm quite surprised at the difference 0-60 between the 140 and 170 and the 170 quattro is slightly faster 0-60 than the non-quattro 170 by 0.2secs.

Hope it's of use:

Hmmm the PD150 does 0-60 in 8.3s so the 170's extra 20bhp doesn't really help its 0-60 time.

I would expect the 140 to do a 0-60 similar to the PD150, let me dig up some figures for the PD140 to see how that compares [:S]

Really need to see the in-gear acceleration times, I beleive they'll show a bigger difference.

Dave, are these stats from an A3 or A4?

A4 will have a slower 0-60

They're listed as A3 figures, Sem. I took them from the Listers Audi website.

I seem to recall that the 140PD figures are roughly the same as the CR140.
