Nice find! Very unusual combination but I like it. I wonder how much the got the weight down to. If its also FWD must be quite light weight relatively speaking.
If it saves the owner at least 700 euros per year sounds like its well worth it. Comfort, economy plus low cost. |

Its a completely different design though, so either some creative engineering has being going on here, or some bad hacking |

In theory, it should be decent to drive and very economical if the pedal position isn't an issue. A steel bodied A6 of that era sold well with the 1.9 TDI 110 engine. They generally outlasted the 2.5 as they were a far more reliable powerplant and much better on fuel.

Agreed. I had an A6 Quattro with a tuned up 1.9 and while it wasn't fast, it was certainly quicker than a 2.8 A8, and weighed about the same.
Maybe I'll build one as a courtesy car |

Uh hum, 1.9 Leon looking for a new home here, seeing you're in the Shire will do a deal for "ruff zider" and majic beans. It even has a pair of new tyres on the front. Would make for a great loaner till you build the 6
