Ferry talks of the 1.8 non-turbo here. It has 125 hp from it's 5v head. It is
the base engine here in Norway, together with the 90 hp 1.9 TDI. The A3 and A4
has a 1.6 105 hp as base engines.

The A6 1.8T is a very popular model though, because of low initial cost
(compared to 2.4 and 2.8) and still easy to upgrade to more hp.
