Description
Fully reconditioned Touareg Head 3.2L.
The 3.2L V6 engine in the Volkswagen Touareg is a naturally aspirated petrol engine that provides a balanced mix of power, reliability, and efficiency for the first-generation model of the Touareg (produced between 2002 and 2010). Here’s a focused look at this specific engine:
1. Engine Specifications
- Displacement: 3.2 litres
- Configuration: V6, with a 60-degree V-angle between the banks of cylinders.
- Valvetrain: DOHC (Dual Overhead Camshaft), meaning two camshafts per bank of cylinders, one for intake and one for exhaust, for more precise control over valve timing.
- Compression Ratio: 11.3:1, which is relatively high for a naturally aspirated petrol engine, enhancing efficiency and power output.
2. Fuel System
- The 3.2L V6 engine uses multi-point fuel injection (MPI), which allows for better fuel atomisation, more efficient combustion, and generally better fuel economy compared to older systems like carburetors.
- Designed to run on premium unleaded fuel (typically 95-98 RON), which is standard for European petrol engines designed for better performance and longevity.
