a4 - audi 1.9 tdv - Joseph Holt

Does anybody know what tdv is?, if you compare a A4 1.9 115 05 reg, with the same 56 reg the latter one is...tdv, but both are euro 4, the earlier one is 154 k/gm, latter is 152 k/gm.

With just 2 k/gm difference, that cannot be a DPF on the latter?

Can anybody shed any light on this.

Cheers

Its a spelling mistake. All diesel VAG cars are TDi's and have been since the mis 90's.

I seem to remember reading something similar a while ago. A tdv is a particulate trap if memory serves, so yes, DPF, or possibly an early 'version' of.

I think TDV stands for Technology Demonstator Vehicle which was Audis terminology
for a DPF when they started fitting DPFs to develop the technology
