and today i have mostly been...

I'm surprised the ambulance service can afford afford to run petrol v6 engines in their ambulances, here everything is just bog standard merc diesels, and some tdi skodas for the rapid response, but i can remember the time when the ambulances were a v6 transit back in the early 90s, the engine sounded better than the sirens, but they stopped buying petrol vans because they were too sore on fuel.

They wouid need abig lump in ambulace if theres Mountains iguess.
diesel wouidnt cut the Mustard idont think ,

over here idont think it matters what lumps they have in ambulaces most of the arseholes on the roads wont move out the way for em

That was VAG's way of dealing with this one the first time the engine crapped out, they just replaced it. I think we all know why now

Funny you should say that because it was the lpg installation that put pay to this engine. That's all been ripped out now and is sitting in a big heap in the corner...

Must of been abad Lpg system if they tore it out, did it burn the valves out hence it getting binned

some diesel engines these days would have a lot more torque than they used to but a v6 petrol would be revvier

Steve have you enrolled on (yet another) Forum to ask for advice? I'm an ancient member of http://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum/forum.php and there's loads of keen people on there.

[steve_earwig]

That's what I was thinking of doing next, what's stopping me is I'll probably be asked lots of questions I don't have answers for so I was thinking of getting the shop involved so it doesn't turn into Chinese whispers.

The other thing is I don't know how closely this engine relates to the ones in cars, I can't find a BKK in anything other than commercial vehicles. Thought: would I be better off asking on an Audi tiTTy forum?

[lozz]

The 3.2 lump is only audi related, (in cars)
ive looked all over and theres no sighn of a 3.2 in a vw car
its deffo comercial, Audi forum wouid be best bet irekon,

Vag-com shouid throw up a sighn of whats wrong with it are they using vag-com?

[steve_earwig]

Oops, that's one of those awkward questions I was worrying about

Thats one of the questions you wouid be asked on vag-related forums,
and theyd most probs shout out for fault codes ,

best off asking your mate if theyve got vag-com or atleast a lead,

[steve_earwig]

They have diagnostics but I've not looked at it too closely - just enough to see what it says (misfire in Croat is quite obvious ) This is why I want to get the guys involved, otherwise it'll be Chinese whispers all over again.

[lozz]

Isee what you mean, yeah best off getting them to do the asking,
but with a fault code or two it couid save them alot of guess work,

[lozz]

Doh ive forgot all about the transporter,
the 3.2 was in them,

forum here, http://www.vwt4forum.co.uk/ might be worth them asking on there,

[steve_earwig]

That looks like the place, however their board sign up is PISSING ME OFF BIG TIME

One last try and I'm giving up

[steve_earwig]

Signed up, finally Now I can search....

Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search : bkk, vr6

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

[Welly]

The 3.2 appeared in the Glof did it not, in R32 flavour, more recently.

I suspect the motor in the Spambulance is on old VR6 from 1996-ish time (overhead valve?) found in loads of old Golfs and Corrado's.

[steve_earwig]

It's a 24 valver with pencil coils not coil packs and both cams with variators which I think makes it late, the build date is 2006 as far as I remember. Now doing the tiTTy forum but not having much luck
