Hi chaps,

Yes I know we are talking diesels here - a dirty word on the PH forums.

I do quite a bit of business mileage but don't get car allowance or a company car. Looking to change my car and don't want to spend much more than £10k. A4 S-Lines around 2006/ 2007 are looking tempting.

It has to be S-Line and diesel and whatever I get will be getting remapped.

Being PHer naturally I am drawn more to the 170bhp, but there are a lot of 140bhps about quite a bit cheaper.

Does anyone have experience with these cars? Is the difference between the two only map-deep, or do the internals differ?

If I am getting a remap does this make the original power output largely academic anyway, or does the 170bhp remap further than the 140bhp?

Any advice gratefully received! Berating me about driving a diesel: not so much...
