Now then you lovely bunch, I'm after some opinion on a choice of VAG V6 (or V5) lump. I've bagged myself a Kennedy Adaptor plate with the VR6 pattern to Vw 'box. There are myriad of donor cars out there, a lot of them for pin money but i've never owned a vehicle with any of the potential engine choices. So, choices include the typical VR6 (of golf/corrado/sharan variety) V5 (VR5 actually) from a Seat Toledo or Golf or V6 in various sizes from an Audi A4 B5 (2.4/2.6/2.8) and maybe if it is same bolt pattern 2.5 V6 TDI from A6/Passat Open to advice/opinion/criticism from all corners as I've no experience of these lumps. FYI my van is already running a diesel engine with underslung radiator and T25 gearbox so this engine change would just be because I can.
Although I love the noise of a VR6, especially a supercharged one (have you seen how cheap the kits are!) it's a TDi vote from me too, suit the vans needs better than the rest.
