doesnt look like a v6 (dont they have a very slight V as opse to a straight 6?)

Block looks too small for a V6

v6 blocks are classically shorter than a inline 4

I meant in width/depth measurements, not height.

Im not trying to be difficult, I just didnt think it was a VR6.

Heads round the wrong way? Only see 4 leads going to it, Doesnt look BIG enough. Looks alot likea tarted up 8v as was in my mk2.

I could & probably will be wrong though.....I often are. If you dont ask then you never learn

Its pretty much inline 6 rather than a V6 but the pistons are offset slightly to create a very small V shape

12valves so keeps the overall size down.

R32 is a V6 24v so is larger but still has a very small V

I could try that with mine but it would melt the turrets, bonnet, scuttle, windscreen and dash so probably not a good idea.

Yep the VR6 engine is tiny for what it is, Its so small that it only needs a tiny inductionkit, in this case a ram air, it also has v-tak as standard, whatever that is,

I would try and solve that water ingress from the rear quarter......that was a little low wasnt it?
