Self Study Program 360 – The 3.2L and 3.6L FSI Engine

VAG SSP 360. This self-study programme was conceived for use within Volkswagen Group. For this reason, it does not describe the use of the engine in one particular vehicle. The 3.2l, the 3.6l V6 FSI engine and the 3.6l V6 R36 FSI engine are VR engines. Having a smaller V-angle compared with a classic V engine, they have an extremely compact and space-saving design.

VR engines have a long tradition at Volkswagen. The VR success story started in 1991 with the production start of the 2.8l VR6 engine. The VR5 engine followed in 1997 and the VR6 was changed to four-valve technology in 1999. In 2000, the displacement of the VR6 was raised to 3.2 litres allowing outputs of up to 184kW.

The VR engines have a wide range of applications thanks to their compactness.

Where, however, a vehicle is referred to, it is only an example intended to help describe the design and functioning or to simplify the explanations.
