audi 20v 5 pot (7 a code i believe )

is this engine anygood in a T3 and are they ok to run on gas. just toying with stuff atm but would appreciate anyones opinions, not run a gas vehicle before so i`m tilting toward diesel but dont want to discount petrol and gas just because i`m not familier with them.

will be in a daily driver syncro doka and used weekends for some offroading.

 

 

cheers lee.

cheers chris, a rever is defo not what i`m after and i know exactly what you mean about golfs only ever drove one 16 valver that could match my old 8 valver.

well if i can get what i need for sensible money then i`ll go for it.got engine, adapter and stuff but need the ecu and wiring loom ect. how much do you think that will set me back.

deffo stick with the v6.............

i put a 2.2 10v on my panel van, smooth effortless power but got rid of it, hated what it did to the balance of the van, felt like twenty bags of cement sat right at the back, front of the van lifted a little too

I must admit, the front of the Harlequin (Doka) Syncro did go up when the 2.5TDi was in the back but having a little more weight on the rear wheels of a Syncro isn't a bad idea. I found it helps with the offroading... as you can see from the photos on the Limey post, it doesn't have a problem getting the front wheels in the air!

When I removed the 2.5TDi from the Harlequin, I weighed it in at 175kg without any extra bits attached. The stock 1.9DG with everything (exhaust, water system, ready to bolt in) weighed 130KG.
