Hi all,
First time poster after seeing an A4 for sale locally that I'm interested in. I have googled my question multiple times but can't find exactly what I'm after, at least not comprehensively.....
I'm looking to view a 59' A4 1.8 petrol 120bhp tomorrow and was curious on its engine, current driving experience and the remap potential.
Firstly does anyone have experience of the engine as standard, and does it feel as hugely underpowered as a number of forums seem to suggest? I'm no boy racer but I wouldn't want the car to feel underpowered for general overtaking etc (I feel like as the years move on, so have the acceptable levels of bhp, where 120bhp a few years ago was perfectly fine).
Secondly, is this actually a detuned version of the 160bhp engine that forums tend to suggest? it doesn't seem to be extensively covered and I've seen mixed reports online.
Lastly, has anyone had the Revo remap software (around 200bhp) installed specifically on their A4 120bhp and if so how is/was it? I'm not interested in squeezing as much out of the engine as I can, just want a capable car should I need to overtake or make some ground up.
This is my first post but will surely be around more should I pull the trigger on it. Thank you very much in advance.
Nick
