Looks like the pissat is an Audi in disguise. The body is an A-series, maybe an A6. The V6 is a 90 degree 5 valve per cylinder job that makes more power than the vr6 2 valve. So my guess is VW swiped the Audi V6 along with the body. The five valve per cil tech has always been an Audi thing. -----Original Message----- From: Robyn Rudisill <robyn.rudisill@HOME.COM> To: vanagon@VANAGON.COM <vanagon@VANAGON.COM> Date: Saturday, November 14, 1998 8:41 PM Subject: VW V6 ?'s
