90 and 110 hp are out for a long time now.
The 90hp is going to get replaced by a 100hp PD engine (240Nm @ 1800rpm). First engines out very soon. For now this engine can only make the Euro3-limits (important for taxation in Germany), but in 2001 they expect to have this engine Euro4-legit (tax exemption of 1200DM). Currently the 3L Lupo is the only diesel engine in the world to be certiefied Euro4.
Price in Germany is 500 DM up against 90hp version. First tests say driveability is up (more than numbers tell), but sound is a little harsher and fuel consumption is down from 4.9 to 5.0 liters / 100km.
The engine can be combined with 4motion AWD and is mated to a new gearbox (MQ250). AWD alway with 6speed, FWD will get 6-speed as option. 5-speed tiptronic as option for FWD, too.
The 115PD engine features the same turbo (Garrett VNT 15) with higher boost pressure.
The 150hp PD has 320Nm@1900rpm and features a bigger turbo (Garrett VNT 17) with boost pressure up to 1,2 bar. Highest specific output (79,1hp/L) of all diesel engines ever. Sixspeed gearbox (MQ350) standard, AWD optional. 5-speed tiptronic in 2001.
In spring 2001 you can have the 130hp PD of Audi in the Golf, too. (310Nm @ 1900rpm). Test drive here: http://forums.tdiclub.com/NonCGI/Forum3/HTML/003174.html
The older 90hp and 110hp will be out of production by mid-2001. Until then there are 6 (!) diesel engines used in the Golf range:
68hp SDI
90hp TDI
100hp TDI-PD
110hp TDI
130hp TDI-PD
150hp TDI-PD.
To cater for the fleet market, VW needs to develop a less powerful engine to replace the 68 SDI (non-turbo). You can expect 75hp, given the other companies contestants.
BTW, the 20th million Golf has just been produced !
Happy birthday !
