Raimund, I don't think that Eurovan engines will go into the T5. Reason is that the engine on T5 will be mounted in longitudinal direction as on T4 it is mounted transverse. It's more likely that newer Passat or Audi engines will find their way into the T5. It will be to expensive to modify the intake system of the old concepts. I guess the purpose of the test vehicle is to evaluate the new drivetrain. Regards Helmut '80 Vanagaudi |
