Engine Specifications
|
Primary Engine
|
Engine Options:
|
The 1994 Audi A4 B5 was initially offered with a range of inline-four and V6 gasoline engines, and potentially a diesel option depending on market. Common gasoline engines include: 1.6L (ADP/ AHL), 1.8L (ADR/APT), 2.6L V6 (ABC). Diesel options likely included 1.9L TDI (AHU/AHF).
|
Performance
|
1.8L Engine Performance:
|
Typically around 125 PS (92 kW) and 168 Nm torque (for the 20v version, the 1994 may have the 1.8L 8v with slightly less power).
|
2.6L V6 Engine Performance:
|
Approximately 150 PS (110 kW) and 225 Nm torque.
|
Fuel System
|
Fuel Delivery:
|
Multi-point fuel injection (MPI) or Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI), managed by engine control units (ECU) like Bosch Motronic.
|
Ignition System:
|
Distributorless ignition system (DIS) or distributor-based systems depending on engine variant, with electronic control.
|
Engine Variants 1994
|
Available Engines:
|
Likely included the 1.8L (8v/20v variants), 2.0L (8v), 2.6L V6, and potentially the 1.9L TDI diesel in certain markets. Specific engine codes would be detailed within the manual.
|
Engine Codes
|
Common Engine Codes:
|
Examples of engine codes for the B5 generation (some may apply to 1994): 1.8L (ADR, APT), 2.6L V6 (ABC), 1.9L TDI (AHU).
|
Maintenance
|
Service Intervals
|
Oil Change Interval:
|
Typically every 15,000 km (9,300 miles) or 12 months, whichever comes first, under normal driving conditions. Long-life oil service schedules may differ.
|
Timing Belt Replacement:
|
For gasoline engines with timing belts (e.g., 2.6 V6), replacement is generally recommended every 90,000 to 105,000 km (55,000 to 65,000 miles) or 5-7 years.
|
Fluid Specifications
|
Engine Oil Specification:
|
API SJ, ACEA A3-98 or similar. Viscosity grades like SAE 5W-40 or SAE 5W-30 are common, depending on climate. Always consult the manual for the specific engine.
|
Coolant Specification:
|
G12 or G12+ ethylene glycol based coolant (pink/purple or red) with anti-corrosion additives. Dilution ratio is typically 50/50 with distilled water.
|
Transmission Fluid Manual:
