  • The VR-6 engine is a mysterious one and hides some clever engineering inside itself. There are most definitely many interesting aspects about it and it is a shame that it was such an engineering revolution as it looked to be from first sight.

      I own a seat toledo with a 20v vr5 and i can tell you the 20v engine is awesome it has 170hp and needs 8-10 liters per 100kilometers depending on your driving style the car always surprises me when i can keep up with newer sportier cars on the autobahn. I think the combination of the "weak" 10v and the heavier chassis of the passat just made it a "bad combination"

      @@krudmuphinstudioz The term VR is a VW invention, and did not exist in the earlier Lancia iteration of these engines.
      I believe that is because VW wanted to emphasize the 6-cylinders-in-4-cylinder space in their marketing, by calling the concept literally "V-Inline", which translated phonetically to {Fau-Reihe} and alphabetically to "VR". The letter V is called "Fau" in the German alphabet, just as Y is called "Ipsilon"!

    Been driving Volkwagen since 1989 and the R32 has become my favorite. My first was a mk1 GTI and I can still remember that car surprised a LOT of people off the line, or rolling down the highway. My Mk5 R32 gets much more of the same reaction. The VR6 engine paired up with a DSG is just an absolute kick in the pants to drive. It's insane what output you can get from a VR6 with any level of modification, and yes, the wookie sound is quite iconic.

    They both averaged about 28 mpg and sounded great. I'm hoping to keep the passat for another 5 years, mainly because of that engine, i think. Favourite engines of all cars I've had.

    Good summary! You could have added the W12 / W8 engines, they are the largest VR type engines Volkswagen ever made, as the W12 is basically 2 VR6 enginges on the same crankshaft.

    I miss my old 1997 Jetta GLX VR6. The engine was bomb proof and sounded amazing! The best sounding version was the original found in the Corrado and MK3 GTI and Vento/Jetta due to its aluminum intake manifold. The later versions had a plastic intake manifold which muffled the sound!

    The staggered inline, single cylinder head design is probably my favorite. How cool would a 4.0L VR8 making 450HP be? Bet it would sound amazing, and the maintenance is so easy to do on these because it's like working on an inline engine.

    • @turtlezed
      @turtlezed 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Staggered and in line? It can’t be both…. It’s on a single crank but two separate planes the pistons are operating in so in my eyes, this is a ‘V’ design but the angle is so tight it can have 1 cylinder head , a normal inline 6 cylinder is waaay smoother and sounds like a normal 6 but this does not, it sounds ‘lumpy’ like a V6….🤷‍♂️

    My family used to have a VW Multivan 4 Motion with the 3.2 litre 6 speed manual. Glorious sound especially at cold sartup, then it had this guttural R, like half a Lambo. When we first got it it had some vibration issues with the drive shafts for the front axle, but this was balance tuned to fix the issue. BUT it would probably have been way more driveable with a torqey diesel, rather than chasing those revs all the time -fun times anyhow. I could actually lure it down to around 10 litres/100km at the highway. Miss that freak.

    The ol 12v vr6 isnt the greatest breather, but she sounds good.
    It was made so it'll fit in place of a 4 cylinder, not necessarily performance.
    A turbo will fix that, as going NA is very expensive.
    The sound they make is quite intoxicating.
    There's a guy on here with one in a mk3 that runs 11s no turbo, he's proven everyone wrong that you can't go fast with an NA, but it's been developed to what it is over many years.

  • @wickiezulu

    BMC's Duncan Stuart developed an experimental Lancia-inspired 18-degree SOHC V4/V6 engine family that used a toothed rubber belt to drive a centrally-mounted camshaft, being conceived at the behest of Leonard Lord from about 56-58 (who wanted to replace BMC's various engines with a common engine family - the later E-Series being conceived for a similar unrealistic purpose) before being cancelled in late-62. The V4 was tested in a 1.1 and 2.0 forms (in the likes of the MGA, first MGB prototype and possibly even one A40 Farina in 1.1 form), though the V6 remained a paper project. The BMC 18-degree V4/V6 project however was dropped because of its alleged bulk/weight, inability to be mounted transversely in the upcoming FWD 1100/1300 and 1800/2200 (only longitudinally Triumph 1300 style - unlike the VW VR6), reputedly sounding rough by MG engineer Syd Enever who disliked the uneven exhaust note of the V4 configuration, being too costly to develop (and the cost of requiring a thorough refit of the Longbridge engine production facilities) as well as once the A-Series engine proved capable of being enlarged from 948cc to 1098cc (later 1275cc).
