Car Forum / Audi Cars / January 20061996 A4 SE - V5 engine?
Hello people, I am looking to buy a 1996-1999 Audi A4 and have seen one advertised as 1.8SE V5 engine. I have tried to google this and look on various websites to find out about this V5 engine but theres not much info. I guess its like a v6 with one less cylinder but whats the benefit? Can anyone tell me the performance/power, fuel consumption, pros/cons of this engine? I just never had an audi before. Should i just go for a usual 4 cylinder? thanks, Zee > Hello people, > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Zee you will only have to buy 5 spark plugs and if changing leads, 5 of them. A good thing is there is more room under the bonnet than the V6 when its requires to be worked on. As for fuel, it will be a little worse than the V4 but better than the V6 otherwise a wonderful engine. I also understand they have used the oval piston/cylinder design on this model. >> Hello people, >> [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] >otherwise a wonderful engine.

VW released a v5 and I think Audi did back in the early days. the V5 is around 2300cc So there definately isnt a 1.8 V5? thats interesting since it is advertised as that but i cant seem to find any info on it on the internet. Heres the link but please dont harrass the poster cause of me ! http://www.gumtree.com/london/15/3516015.html > So there definately isnt a 1.8 V5? thats interesting since it is > advertised as that but i cant seem to find any info on it on the > internet.

People get stuff like that wrong all the time.  SignatureCalled Pete? Join The Pete Collective NOW at www.thepetecollective.co.uk It's an inline 5 that Audi developed with Volvo. Together with 20 valves and a turbo is a most impressive engine.

I agree with others, the seller has been confused by the 5V logo on the engine covers - indicating 5 *valves* per cylinder. > Tony > 96 S6 [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > VW released a v5 and I think Audi did back in the early days. the V5 is > > around 2300cc SignaturePeter Bell (Note Spamtrap - To reply, replace 'invalid' with 'bellfamily') I was responding to... > > VW released a v5 and I think Audi did back in the early days. the V5 is > > around 2300cc The 2300cc engine is the inline 5, aka the 20V, which of course is 4 valves per cylinder.

Ummm... okay. But it's even more confusing - VW did, indeed, produce a V5 (narrow angle 15 degrees?), similar to the VR6. The V5 is 2324cc, and was used in the Golf, Bora and Passat.

IIRC, there's the 10V inline 5-cyl, used in the 90/100/200/Ur-Quattro in various forms. There's the 20v inline 5 used in the Ur-Quattro and S2 (?) There's a 5 cyl Indirect turbo diesel, used in the 100/200 There's a 5 cyl TDI (direct injection) used in the 100. VW used this detuned for the transporter, and I think this is the Volvo link, as Volvo used it for a while. I've not heard of them using the petrol 5-cyl engines, but since they *did* use the TDI, I'll believe they might ahve done. They certainly used a petrol 5 cyl of some description. There's the 1.8T 4 cyl with 20 valves that started this thread. Audi badge the engine cover for this 5V, VW/Seat etc use '20V'. And yes, as stated above, VW use a V5, but Audi have never used it. The message <C2Otf.17949$iz3.2941@text.news.blueyonder.co.uk> from Chris Bartram <news@delete.me.piglet-net.net> contains these words: > There's a 5 cyl TDI (direct injection) used in the 100. I've got one of them and jolly nice it is, too. SignatureSkipweasel Never knowingly understood. (Ivor Cutler) snip > There's the 20v inline 5 used in the Ur-Quattro and S2 (?) The 20v is also used in the RS2 and ur-S4 and ur-S6. Here in Canada, the new Jetta (Bora) comes with a 2.5L I5 20V engine. Tony 96 S6 > Here in Canada, the new Jetta (Bora) comes with a 2.5L I5 20V engine. Bora was a name used for the previous model of what we call the Jetta. In Europe the new model of what we call the Jetta is called a Jetta as well. cp |
