hello chap.

i have an a4 quattro and as far as i know my tank is approx 60 litres.

I have had it down the bottom of the red and it took 59 litres. And yes before you ask the quattro has a smaller tank than the normal tdi's due to the 4wd driveshafts and linkage

Hi Folks!

Scoob went yesterday as i couldnt wait for the new Audi!

Absolutely over the moon with it!!

started off with a full tank and the computer read out was stating there was a possible 610 mmiles in the tank

Been driving really economically to see what it will do, 137 miles on less than quarter of a tank and the computer is still saying theres 565miles possible on the way im driving.

apparently it measures your driving style every 15meters and adjusts accordingly.

Bulid quality is excellent and im still gettig used to the weight of the doors after the scoob, take some pushing to open them and you dont need to slam em to shut them

ive not missed the scoob at all, after 54000 miles in one i think ive had my fun and got used to the performance so started driving it more sensibley.

i would like a track car next year to do the fun driving in, and with the economy of the 130tdi quattro i mite get a old scoob wrx/ or a RA for the crack.

Lee

oh how i love the switches that feel like they wont come off in your hand, and squeek/rattle free motoring.

and if this iraq thing kicks off i wouldnt like to be running my scoob.

Hi Lee

Had that unit fitted last week, and this weekend I went down to devon.

On the way down i did the 250 mile drive on the night... did it in about 3 hours 10 mins. With the power up it was a good drive in the audi, and even though in 3 figures all the way (where possible) I still had over half a tank.

On the way back I went slow..... i used quarter of a tank .... When I got up here again I filled up..... £17.50 for 265 miles! Now that is good. And the range was showing 470 miles as well showing that potentially I could get 730 miles out of 60 litres!

For a big 4wd car that is awesome!!!

i is a happy bunny!

with the bromley unit

BHP was 130 - now approx 155 BHP
Torque was 310Nm, now 350Nm but they say that is conservative. I reckon the torque is up on that, having been driving around.
