pambs Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Can anyone point me where i can find the differences between the regular model and the s-line. Do they have any mechanical difeerences? Another one.. A friend told me that there 2 models with the 1.8T engine, producing 167bhp and 190bhp, is this the case? Sorry for all these questions but i'm new into audis and i want to get the model that best suits me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Are you looking at a new A4 (the B7 model) or a used A4 (B6 model)? Also is it a cabrio or a saloon/avant you are after as the 1.8T was only ever 163 PS in the cabrio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Welcome to Tyresmoke! If you're talking about the B6 (not the new shape) A4, there was a Special Edition 1.8 that was pushing 163BHP, and the S-Line pushing out 190BHP. The 1.8T S-lines have a harder ride due to stiffer suspension and it's lowered too. No doubt Bub will correct all of the above, but I'm fairly certain that's how it was! Depending on what year model you go for, the Sport and Sline's had the GmbH body kit fitted which made the car much meater looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pambs Posted October 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 I'm going for a b6 cabrio. Anyone knows why the engine pumbs out 190bhp is it a bigger tub or is it the mapping of the ecu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 The B6 cabrio only ever came with the a 163 PS 1.8T engine. The s-line was only introduced over here this year and the extra £1200 (over the cost of a Sport) bought you: 18" 5-arm wheels Half leather interior Aluminium fascias Slightly different suspension set up S-line badges Perforated leather steering wheel Personally, I would go for the 3.0 V6 if you can afford it. One thing to be aware of if you are buying new is a facelifted cab is about to be launched with the new engine line up which will include the 2.0T FSI engine which is 200 PS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pambs Posted October 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 So the cabrio has the 163ps engine only right? and the s-line features lets say cosmetic changes not mechanical? I prefer the b6 facelift than the b7, the engine i think can be switched over with no extra modifications rather than the ecu and harness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it also had additionally over the special edition model model interior light pack, self dimming interior mirror, split fold rear seat, follow-me-home lights and body kit. This was only witht the B6 sallon and Avant. They also came with a six-speed gear box but I'm not sure how that compares to the cooking models. When the B7 came out the S-line pack was diluted and more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameo Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Hi Pambs, just read your introductory post (welcome by the way). The above specification was for the UK model. I see your in Cyprus so the specs may well be different over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanW Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Milo is spot on regarding the 1.8T engine in the cabriolet, it only ever came with 163ps. The 190ps engines were available in the saloon and avant though. The 3.0 is a cracking engine as standard and is a great choice but I had my 1.8T remapped not long ago and it's a totally different machine now, similar power output to a 3.0 but retains the fuel economy - personally I think this is the way to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pambs Posted October 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Exactly i'm going for the 1.8T engine and getting the ecu remapped. I know that i'll get dissapointed moving from a z but there are other gains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Pambs - just a thought but I have the B6 Audi Cabriolet brochure as an Acrobat file (.pdf) and it has the details of the Base, Sport and S-Line specs. It is for the UK market but might give you a bit more info on what the spec levels were and what equipment they had. If you want a copy, send me a private message with an email address and I'll send it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milo Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Does anyone know what wheels came on a 2003 SE cab? Also what did you get on an SE over a base model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanW Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 I don't think they actually made an SE as such but some people refer to the base model as an SE The wheels they came with are these; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Ahah, that would make sense! Those wheels are the 5 arm Aero wheels which would therefore make this 2003 03 car a standard model (I'm sure it's not a Sport) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chav Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Aren't they just the worst, cheapest, nastiest looking wheels ever! Even my old ford mondeo came with nicer wheels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanW Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Yep, just how mine looked when I bought it. Those wheels stayed on for about 16 hours I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
