Actually the 5 cyl TDi in the Eurovan is available in an 150hp version.
Volvo uses the 5cyl 140Hp version (at least here in Sweden). Personally i
would think that the new inline 4 with 130hp would be a nice engine in my
DoubleCab Syncro :-)  (available in 2001 Audi)

No, the 5-cyl. TDIs were rated for 140hp. Since �98, when the new A6 was
presented, the 150hp TDI was a V6, which in the meantime has been optimized
to reach 180hp (just drove it in the Audi-Allroad, GREAT!)
