I've been reading the information about the next generation Passat on vwvortex lately. I've got some questions about the newer TDI's that will accompany the B6.
The articles I've read say that there will be 3 different TDI's Available.
1. 77KW/105PS
2. 103KW/140PS
3. 125KW/170PS
What do KW and PS represent, i.e. how does that relate to HP and torque?
Also the article said that the highest powered TDI would be equipped with the highly innovative Piezzo-operated high pressure fuel injuection system and two balancer shafts. I know a little about common rail and fuel pressures, but I haven't heard about this system. Does anyone know????????
Also the article said that the 2 highest powered TDI's will come with the DSG gearbox. Didn't show a manual. I just hope these options will be available so we won't have the current auto trans.
Lastly the article gave some exerior dimensions. This new Passat is going to be larger than my 03 Toyota Avalon. It's going to be one great car.
