Guest FlyingDutchMan Posted November 1, 2005 Report Posted November 1, 2005 Just found out that the Sharan will be available with the 2.0 TDI (140PS) engine with particle filter (8 valve) and without (16v) in the rest of Europe. Has anybody heard of that engine becoming available in the Galaxy or Alhambra version in the UK??FDM Quote
tim-spam Posted November 2, 2005 Report Posted November 2, 2005 The 2.0 TDI will be available in the Alhambra, but I doubt if it will be in the Galaxy, as there is a new model soon (this will not be a joint venture, but will be Ford's own work). There is also an all new Sharan in the not-too-distant future based on the latest Passat platform, which should be very good - we'll see.As regards the 2.0 TDI, this is a stage IV emissions compliant engine and will therefore be less efficient than the current stage III 1.9, so expect worse fuel consumption. I'm told that refinement is better, and that efficiency is still class best (but not quite so good as the 1.9). Quote
