Tried searching. But does anyone know if there are any weight differences between the 99-00 1.8t and 2.8 quattro a4's? Real world numbers would be better than magazine numbers since they aren't really consistant. Thanks.

 

There really isin't a weight difference between the two...... If there is, the 2.8 might be a little heavier by about 100lbs or so.. It is marginal to say the least.........

 

that surprises me a bit. the 1.8T is an iron block engine, but so is the 2.8, isn't it? I guess the turbo and associated hardware (piping, intercooler) make up most of the difference.

 

I found the weight differences in the 2 models. Suprising if you ask me
http://www.edmunds.com/used/2000/audi/a4/970/specs.html 1.8T- 2998lbs

http://www.edmunds.com/used/2000/audi/a4/868/specs.html 2.8T- 3384lbs

Sorry links dont work right, got to Edmunds and check for yourselfs

 

I can't belive the difference - yet another to add to the list of why to get a 1.8t
these work
1.8t
2.8

 

the weight for the 1.8t shows for a fwd. How much does the quattro system weigh?

edit: sorry found out I could change the specifications

 

It says 3241 for the quattro, which makes sense to me. I looked up the '98 and it is 3130 for the 1.8TQ, but Ive seen conflicting reports on the weights on the 97-99's on some sights. 98 V6 listed as 3318, so maybe they did add on some weight with the minor facelift they got in 2000, but 111 lb. difference for the 1.8TQ seems a little high.
