Abi 0 Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 I have a VR6 back on the driveway... woo hoo... However its a Sharan.... 8-) No I haven't got a family... I need a Tow Car for Drag Racing, so thought that a VR6 Sharan was the best option.... 1999, 103k, SE Spec It needs a little work...have no idea where to start... but I guess getting it serviced and sorting out some new wheels... it also needs an exhaust and anti roll bar sorting...

Sidhu88 1 Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 not knocking the fact its a vr6, i'd love it just as much as any other person but surely for towing a vehicle a diesel woulda been better? loads more torque and fuel costs would be nowhere near as much Link to post Share on other sites

I will be using it tow tow around 8-10 weekends a year with under 100 round trip.with regards to Torque, the first generation Sharan (From 95 to 2000)... the most powerful TDI engine has the same amount of torque as the VR6 - allbeit at a lower rev oh and did i mention I am a sucker for VR6 noice....
