B7 A4 and Exeo similarities/differences

[Willie]

Has anyone with an Exeo had a chance to crawl about under over there new Exeo and see whats the differences are between the two motors.

I would presume the body panels and full interior are different but what about the clutches, brakes, suspension?

Does the Exeo offer the same suspension set up as the S line in the B7?

Whats's the OEM brake disc sizes?

Cheers

BTW I have a B7 A4 2.0 TDI 140 S line and am interesting in using David at SereMotors instead of Audi for as many bits as I can.
David is on the case with this too

Brake discs I think are as follows:

2.0 TDi (143/170) = 288mm
2.0 TFSi = 312mm

The Exeo engine is the new B8 Common-rail diesel, so I'm not sure if the clutch is the same as the B7, or not Unlikely

Suspension, pass! I've got the sports suspension on mine, which is probably more than likely to be the same as the S-line stuff, but not sure.

There's not a www.vagcat.com deal for the new platform Audi/Seat/VW/Skoda's is there?

 

[andyj]

Not that I'm aware of.

The only thing is to try and get an up to date version of ETKA......

 

[Willie]

Cool, I've got ETKA so will look at this when home

Looking at the Geometry and such I would say they are the same. I wont know for a couple of months though as my brother just picked up an Exeo for a rally project. We are going to doa 4WD swap into it a little later on.
I will keep you posted.

p.s. the B8 common rail diesel is still a PD family engine so its a 6 bolt flywheel from the looks of it.
New TSI engine is a 10 bolt flywheel.
