Correct - the 1.8T only came in with the C5 model, towards the end of
1997. Up until then, the 1.8 A6 was non-turbo with 125bhp. Of course,
the 1.8T was available in the A4 in 1996. The 1.8T of that era was
150bhp.

Thanks for the response. The Parkers website was why I got
confused in the first place actually, as I could not find
a reference to a 1.8 T, as there were no model numbers
that seemed to correspond to that exactly. It's looking
like I bought a turbo, which is why I really think I
should do my research a bit better, as I had no idea of
that. Still, I am quite pleased, as I was a bit concerned
a 1.8 engine would struggle in that size body shell.

Thanks for the response. The car may well be a 97, I just
assumed it was the older of the two years it could have
been with a P plate. 30 mpg sounds fair enough for that
power rating, and as someone who did not previously fancy
an Audi, I'm well on the way to being a bit of a fan, it
looks fantastic. I'm just getting rid of a 190E Mercedes
with 190,000 so if the Audi can approach those sort of
miles I shall be pleased!

I must have got the year wrong. This is a link to the
advert I bought it from, and it was quite clearly labelled
a 1.8T.
http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/WWW...00506181031546
Also, it's definitely an A6, as I'm not keen on the shape
of the A4.
Thanks guys.
