Ingolstadt - Due to slipping sales and increased controversy surrounding the 1.8T engine Audi has announced the replacement for the 1.8T engine. The replacement engine is a new direct injection 2.2L turbocharged 5 cylinder engine. The engine is being produced by quattro GmbH and will arrive in dealers as a 04.5 mid year release.
The new 2.2DT (Direct inject Turbo) will produce 245hp. Mid year changes also include larger brakes front/rear and dual intercoolers.
Audi also noted that the 3.0 will be replaced with a 3.6L for MY2005.
Please contact your dealer for further questions. Details are available in early April for you fools.<ul><li><a href="http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/aprilfool2.html">www.audiusa.com/a4news/22DTengine/</a></li></ul>

You mean the RS4 Sport Package that they offered in 2002. I wish I had ordered one.
