volkswagen vr6 Q&A Review
Does a VR8 engine exist like the VolksWagen VR6?
Not really, when they wanted an 8 they got it by splicing two VR4s together to produce a W8. Similarly, the Bugatti Veyron W16 could be thought of as two “VR8s” spliced together.
Why does my car sound different after we moved it from the New England area of the US to the Pacific North West? While subjective, we feel that the (Volkswagen VR6) engine note is noticeably less harsh and rattly under mild throttle.
Many years ago I took my 1964 Corvair on a road trip through several north eastern states. By the time I had gone through 3 or 4 states I was sure the car was running oddly. Different engine noise and exhaust sounds. While complaining about this at yet another gas pump, another gentleman customer explained to me that additives were put in the gasoline for better performance and efficiency, but each state used different ones and in different combos. When I got back to Canada and my typical gas, my corvair ran as usual. I would compare the additives your two different states use and see if that's your issue.
Why did Volkswagen use the VR6 engine?
VW saw the value of a compact engine with a lower parts count (one less cylinder head) on a narrow angle V6. The design was pioneered by Italian automaker Lancia in the 1920’s. Volkswagen gave the idea a modern application with reasonable success. See photo of the engine block without the single head attached. Note that it is only slightly longer than a three cylinder inline engine.
Why aren't there v4 engines? Why wouldn't 2 and 2 in a V design be a good idea if there are v6s and v8s? Would a v4 design save gas, or no?
There are no current production V4 engines in cars. There would be negligible saving on fuel as any weight saving would be offset by inlet and exhaust routing that affects tuning. The cost of a V4 is higher than a straight 4 as it either needs 2 cylinder heads or a design like the Volkswagen VR6. Which is a cheap V6 but still more costly to make than a straight 6 but a straight 6 is difficult to fit transversely. V4s have been made in the past. Ford made a V4 in Europe in the 1960’s. Ford Taunus V4 engine - Wikipedia Before that there was a vast range of Lancia V4s starting in 1922. Lancia V4 engine - Wikipedia
Which engine is more powerful or more efficient, a high angle V engine or a low-angle V engine?
The narrow-angle V-engine (like the Volkswagen VR6 series) is a way to reduce the complexity of the valve train, weight and size of the engine. It doesn’t specifically affect power or efficiency. I would hazard a guess that having a common block may make require additional cooling, because you have more cylinders in close proximity in the same block.
What is the most unusual vehicle engine you know of?
The most unique production engine I know of, aside from Mazda’s Wankel rotaries, probably has to be Volkswagen’s VR6 engine. Most “V” engines have a v-angle of 60–90° and are mounted longitudinally in the engine bay (the “v” faces the same way as the car). This creates the need for two separate valvetrains, a longer vehicle front end, more moving parts and more complexity. Volkswagen’s engineers wanted to put a V-engine into their cars, but didn’t want to engineer a whole new platform around it due to the inherent design limitations, so they re-engineered the traditional V6 into the VR6. The VR6 tightens the V into a 15° angle, then staggers the cylinders to allow for a single valvetrain and cylinder head. This simplifies the engine mechanically, but still allows for a very smooth power delivery due to the v-configuration. The engine is also mounted transverse (in line with the front axles) to fit it into a small engine bay designed for a 4-cylinder engine. Thus, VW can offer many different engine options while using the same vehicle platform, saving on cost while improving customer options. The VR6 is a torquey, reliable engine with a very distinctive exhaust note, and to my knowledge, has only been available on Volkswagens.

Why do car manufacturers use engines from other companies instead of making their own engine?
It is a decision about brand identity vs. cost reduction. Often clients do not care about the brand of the engine, so the manufacturer can save money by buying the engines instead of developing and manufacturing own engines. Sometimes this even applies to premium luxury cars, where you might think that brand identity is everything. Right now, Mercedes Benz’ AMG division delivers engines to Aston Martin. However, you may not notice it, because the engine carries an Aston Martin badge. I remeber one case where buying engines saved a company from embarassment. Mercedes was making a medium sized van, the Viano. Then they decided to make a luxury version for passenger transport, based on the Viano, the so called V-Class. This market segment is dominated by VW with their VW Bus. So, in order to be able to deliver a better luxury van, Mercedes started to develop a 3 liter transversal V6 engine for front wheel drive vehicles - and failed. So they decided to buy 50,000 units of the Volkswagen VR6 2.8 liter engine and fitted them in their V280.
Does the Bugatti have 2 engines?
No. The modern Bugattis (Veyron and Chiron, which share the same basic engine architecture) use a W16 engine, which is indeed based on a modular architecture. It is a close relation of the W12 engine used in Bentley cars, although it’s still fairly substantially changed (eg the cylinders have a different bore and stroke). That engine itself is based roughly on the Volkswagen VR6 engine family, which is a narrow angle V6. Whereas a V12 is essentially two straight six engines (such as the BMW engine from the McLaren F1, which is related to the straight 6 from the contemporary M3) the W12 is essentially two VR6 engines mounted side-by-side. However, none of the above are actually made by joining two engines together - they all have purpose-made cylinder blocks and crankshafts, and so are single engines just as an engine designed from scratch as a V12, etc would be.
Which is the best model in a used Porsche engine to buy?
I’ve heard good things about 911s and their reliability as well as the cayman. Stay away from the Volkswagen VR6 V6 used in the early model V6 Cayennes though. That engine was used in the Cayenne, Q7, and Touareg, and all of those cars have high potential issues with misfires as well as other expensive issues. To get an idea, the Cayenne came out in 2003, and you never see a running 2003 Cayenne anymore.
