Great Noise

[Guest galaxy99]

any ideas whether i could put a vw v5 unit into a galaxy? i used to have a 1983 passat gl5 with the infamous audi 5cylinder the noise they used to make! just wondered if i could fit the golf v5 unit as it's small enough for an average enigine bay size, this is probably off the wall but as gl5's are getting harder to find these days thought this would be easier.

 

comments would be appreciated.

 

thanks galaxy99

Maybe, the VR5 unit is basically a cut down VR6 and almost certainly fits the same gearbox and electronic systems. I think you might have to mod the engine mounts though.

the noise they used to make!

 

And who said Galaxy owners were always concerned with Diesel Fuel Economy versus Petrol Perfomance !

do you know if this unit was ever fitted to tha sharan? as that would be even better as the gal/sharan share the same chassis?

the engine range is virtually the same across the vehicle range, the differences are that Ford have their own 2.3 and VW and seat get the 1.8t if you want a V5 go buy a VR6 and pull a plug lead :rolleyes:

Good answer wolfie, I didn't bother to ask why galaxy99 would want a crippled VR6 :rolleyes:

 

If you like the noise, get a VR6, fit a nice ProjectZwo exhaust and a BMC carbon airbox. I guarantee you that it'll sound more like a Porsche Carrera on full chat (won't bloody go like one tho').

 

Enjoy. ;)

cheers for that. the problem with the vr6 is :rolleyes:

 

A. it must have been designed at the germany's annual beer festival as the timing chains on the wrong end. ;)

 

B. dosen't sound like the old audi 5 cylinder, the v5 does. :)

 

i thought about the v5 becuase an inline 5 is to wide (although volvo made thiers fit in the t5)!

isnt the timing chain at the same end on the V5 as the VR6 then?
