VW Jetta 4 2.3 V5

I hope I am not late with my reply.

Anyways, I personally feel that the V5 is a good engine and very reliable if they well serviced and maintained.

I drove the car through out varsity, I got it from my dad. It's a 110 kw. Its currently on 365 778 kilometers and it's still a smooth ride.

Fuel consumption is good to, no one should lie and say its heavy. It only heavy with stop and goes.

19 liters moves me from Pretoria to Mokopane

Interesting good feedback.
 
Hmm maybe my memory is failing my but I always thought the V5 (lovely name btw) always made 125kw, not 110kw?

Anyone know what was the advantage of that V5? Because the power figures are so underwhelming for a 2.3 engine with 5 cylinders.
 
Well at a time when it came out it was big news.
It was way before turbo technology.
However still today, when going over hills and mountain roads you can feel the 5 cylinders pulling.
