Building a LPG-proof VR6 24v 3.2
Verfasst: 30.12.2020, 16:40
Hello VR6-guys. :3
I have already a VR6, like my nickname suggest, I have a bulli and I'm happy with it because I have already got a lot of useful info from you in this forum in order to mantain it well, and it works fine. =D
Now I have to ask you if you know where I could buy parts useful to build a VR6 that will be feeded mostly with LPG (autogas).
My family needs an off road car, the diesels are banned here and so I was thinking to the Touareg 1, because it's port injection and not direkt injection, so no particulate (for example, Germany will probably ban the TSI without BPF soon - see light blue vs dark blue feinstaubplakette).
The only problem is that this car should be a daily driver (10.000 km/year or more), and here they don't sell the 98 octane, while the 100 costs like 2 euro and the 95 (that's not good) is sold about at 1,5 euro: it is just too much expensive.
The LPG is a good option and will exclude forever such car from the future drive bans, but the stock VR6 doesn't tolerate it and I don't trust the lube, so I would like to build a VR6 but using dedicated parts: mostly, I would like to get stronger valves and stronger valve seats. The results should be a VR6 Ecofuel, like the R4 2.0 we found in the caddys and T5s.
The problem is that I searched for these parts in internet but I can't find them. I found only this site:
https://www.ms-motorservice.com/en/prod ... cessories/
I only found that they sell reinforced valve seats with the available sizes but I don't know if they will fit in the VR6 head because I don't know the correct size I need. And they don't sell reinforced valves for the VR6 (or at least I didn't find them).
Sadly, I checked the E**A and saw that the 2.0 Ecofuel valves are sized differently from the VR6.
So, do you know where I could get such stuff?
Thanks in advance for your attention.
Happy new year!
