    TDI 1.6: 110PS or 116PS

    Hi, I've noticed TDI 1.6 engines in the A3s being spec'd at either 110PS or 116PS. Is one of those an older engine, or reflective of an older version of the A3? If I order a new car today - which would I expect ?The configurator shows 116 - but I'm seeing 110 crop up on other apparently new...
