Actually I'm pretty sure that VW never shipped one of their vehicles with the I6 diesel; they knew better. The I6 'VW' diesels shipped in the 78-83 240 series Volvos had a really nasty habbit of early death in the 100k range due to oiling problems in #6. (As well as the rest of the problems experienced by the VW diesel engines.) The rest of the engines that Volvo used were their own; the early B16/18/20/30 and the later OHC B21/23/230/234 (Volvo also sold a 2l version of the B234 in markets with displacement caps). (I'm also ignoring the engines used in the DAF range of vehicles) The new line of engines in their FWD offerings are the 'modular' engine; designed by Porsche under contract, they offer I4, I5, and I6 versions of the block in NA and turbo versions. The American market hasn't seen much of the I4 version of the engine though it may be present in the S40/V40, which was just introduced this model year. -- | Matthew N.
