did the power out put change between 04 and 05? I'm looking at an 04 on and it says it has 163bhp, is this a typo?

I had a d5 163 for 3 years never spent much on it,did hear the newer 185 engines had there fair share of problems.
It's got the wrong gearbox.

is there anyway to tell what power it has. the other one im looking at is an 05 but it doesnt say the power, did the early ones come with a 6 speed box, i noticed the 185bhp ones are 6 speed
Thanks
Martyn
But the autos seem to be more problematic.
I just noticed chad said it changed with the 55 reg so i guess this is only 163 then
Thanks
Martyn
I hear the 163 is more reliable engine,dpf is pain.
I believe there are more problems with the 5 speed autos than the 4 speed ones, but I'm sure someone can either correct me, or elaborate on the problems. I just seem to remember the reason a lot of S80's get scrapped is because the auto box dies.
the early 05' are 163hp.
yes, the 163hp have a black engine cover, and the 185hp have a light grey cover.
