In comparison:
My Mk 1 Passat:
40kw
950kg
approx 7.0 l/100km
0-100 11-12 secs

My B6 Passat:
147 kw
1600kg
approx 8.0 l/100km
0-100 7.8 secs

TS was a high compression 85hp 1500 "ZC" code motor. 1600 was launched in 1976 and pretty sure(by factory data) that the TS stopped production when the 1600 was launched. Only other high power engines after that were the 'xx' code 100hp 1600 with progressive carb(like the TS) and the K-Jet 1600 'ys' code motor which was 110hp.
