Just stumbled across your channel so I recently picked up an early mk4 golf with the early 10 valve vr5(150bhp) variant and I have to agree the sound is just addictive, and for a mild power output it pulls really nice consistent power right till redline I have a few sound clips and can always get more if you’d like to use them for future vr5 vids 👌great channel keep up the good work

This is interesting. What about reliability? Why did they stoped making them ?

I think it was primarily down to fuel economy and emissions regs, this is just before the time they started putting turbos on everything they made. It was good at burning lots of fuel which is nice for power, not so much to meet emissions regulations. They do seem to be pretty reliable although many are getting on now, so there are going to be age related issues.

It´s funny that people like theese engines now. When they were new they were not very popular at all, atleast here in Sweden. They have the same power as the 1.8T 4cyl but the fuel milage of the V6...
