Where To Buy?

[soco42063]

Could anyone tell me where I might be able to purchase a V5 motor (new or slightly used) for my MK3? I know they are only available outside the states but any websites or anything would be helpful.

[soco42063]

Not only kool...it's as powerful as our VR6s! I must have.

What???? no V5 in America???? :?

[Mr_Diesel]

Dude, that thing is as big as the "V6" in the passats, and I am sure the "V6" has more power. The "V6" is a lot more common too.

[Mortal_Wombat]

the v6 would have smoother power too....i bet a v5 feels like a damn lawn mower..

[soco42063]

Naw it's a 2.3L motor, defanitly smaller then the V6. Also it is smoother than the V6 :roll: Why does everyone think odd number motors would be rough? Mercedes proved otherwise a long time ago. Besides why would I want a redily available engine, be like so many other cars.

[soco42063]

So I contacted VW and ya know what they told me? We are not allowed to disclose any information about the V5 motor to North America (United States/Canada). I'll find another way.
