Any idea when the TDI 170 would be released? Gonna be gutted if my 140 turns up and then the 170 is available the next day :(

Can anyone answer why the 170 is over a second faster to 62mph then the 140? surely 30bhp can't make that sort of difference... anyone know how the power hicke is achived? :?

It also has more torque. More Torque = More Pull.

Thats 13% more torque and 20% more bhp. Based on that 1 second seems reasonable
