1998 Audi A6 Avant 1,8 Turbo

The turbocharged engine’s lively acceleration makes an express machine out of the Audi A6 1.8 T: 9.8 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h, 20.5 seconds from 60 to 120 km/h in fifth gear. This powerful 110 kW (150 bhp) engine has no trouble in achieving such values. The turbocharged 4-cylinder engine has intentionally been designed to respond quickly and develop ample torque at low engine speeds. Between 1750 rpm and 4600 rpm the driver has a torque of 210 Nm available. The 1.8 litre turbo is equipped with a small turbocharger which responds quickly when the throttle is opened, and supplies compressed intake air to the combustion chamber by way of a large charge-air intercooler.
Together with the high engine torque this engine characteristic tends to encourage early shifting up into higher gears. In connection with the car’s moderate weight this gives the A6 Avant 1.8 T with five-speed manual gearbox a fuel consumption of only 10.8/6.7/8.3 litres per 100 kilometres (urban/extra-urban/total) according to the 93/116/EU standard test method.
