Anyone here know why the tdi version has less torque than a standard vrs. 167 bhp le and 170 bhp for the standard .and 225 ft lb for le and standard is 258 ftlb?

It doesn't. The 170 refers to Pferdestärke, a rough metric equivalent of the imperial Horse Power. PS results are a little higher, around 2%, so manufacturers quote that figure instead. The engine makes 167BHP/170PS. Not sure on the torque figures.

I just had a remap on my blackline tdi and the first dyno run without map was 172.5 and it's done 51k.

That's a lot more than I though it would of had being standard.

Running 200.5 now and very happy.

P.s is this thread for blacklines as I thought they where limited editions ?

[KevFinVRS]

Not including black line mate just ours with crappy monza r alloys!

I haven't had a problem with mine yet though, although one has been replaced by previous owner!

[tris90]

Oh ok thanks, thought they might have put a number on the blacklines seeing as there was only supposed to 500 made of those !?

Thought they made more than 500 black lines.

I am now the owner of no 485. Based in Stockton on Tees.

Currently has 70,500 miles on the clock.

 

What's the story with these alloys? People seem to suggest there is a problem with them.

I know my car feels like something is off balance or not quite round.

Front has been balanced and tracking checked... need to look at the rear next but if there is a problem with these wheels can somebody fill me in on the details? thanks

if it still has the original multi spoke monza's on then they are probably buckled somewhere . As they are as soft as chocolate on a hot day. quite a few of us owners have changed them for different alloys as why keep paying £80 ish for another that will most likely buckle again. I changed mine for another brand of multi spoke as i wanted to keep the limited edition look but others have gone back to the standard vrs alloys & others just chose a set they liked

[Chris485VRS]

Thanks for the reply. I haven't had the rears checked for balance yet but I'm certain something is out of true. My brother has just swapped his audi wheels so might put his oem ones on my car to see if it improves the ride. I put a gopro on the bonnet the other day and video is super smooth.... Put it on the rear glass and it's unwatchable due to vibration.

I bought no 368 last week, lovely motor!

 

no 368 - petrol  - hatch - weston super mare!

It should be too, it was mine. 33K on the clock!

It hasn't gone far then as I live in WsM. Really p!sses my wife off though seeing it driven around town. I think she wanted it to end up somewhere else, oh well!

Enjoy it I was absolutely gutted to get rid of it.

[ollyvrs]

Do anyone think that the le will become a classic and a rare care in years to come as only 500 made

[jpmurray]

Met up with #089 today.

Its a 2.0 tdi CR estate from cumbria.

He was a lovely man and came over to see my LE after watching the Vulcan fly over Thirlmere

[ollyvrs]

I've just seen 3 le's on ebay for sale

Whats the difference with the Ltd eds?.. other than build number?.. and leather interior..?

The exterior has been given a splash of grey metallic paint too, accompanied by a new 18-inch alloy wheel design. Plus you also get a special badge on the rear to differentiate it from the standard model.

On the inside, you get full Italian leather, Matt silver trim,dual zone climate control,Multi function display, cruise control and a touch screen six CD auto-changer Newer CR Diesel engine as standard. Put simply, that's £1,900-worth of kit for an extra £750,
