[der1]

You must have finished it by now, surely?!?

If you havent started yet, I'd suggest the 1.8t ebgine instead, much more economical and powerful plus lighter.
Only advantage of the 6 is noise.

Its about the noise for me.

I've a VR6 engined Caddy Van and the noise that thing makes when its on song is amazing.

No four pot is going to give you that.

They sound awesome, but when you are struggling to keep up with modern diesels...

Its got some mods so maybe 185BHP, in something thats relatively lightweight compared to modern stuff, so modern diesels arent a problem.


From memory VR6s were 0-60 in around 7.3 seconds. This is smaller and lighter than a Golf mk3, so maybe high sixes off the line.

Not that i bought it for outright performance anyway. Thats not why you would fit a VR6.
