      As a junior mechanical engineer, I've never used acute or obtuse to describe a triangle. I just focus on calculating or utilizing its angle. So, it's not surprising that he would not remember, if he hardly ever used it.

    Hey there, former VW mechanic here. I'd like to add a few things to this video.
    While the D. Napier & Son Engine is a W (also known as Y) engine, the VW's Engine is not really a W Engine.
    Strictly Speaking it's a "V V R" engine. The old W Engine had 3 seperate cylinder banks compared to the VWs 2 double banks. (2:00)
    Also I think that the cost of the VR design was rather high due to large amounts of Research and Developement that was needed aswell as the twisted crankshaft and all the unique parts that you couldn't ever hope to use on a "standard" V6 or R6 (I6) engine. (5:30)
    Next up from what I remember about the VR6 intakes, they don't actually have different length intakes and if they had it would just be short and long rather than an individual length for every cylinder. (around 6:30)
    Just as a sidenote: timing chains are always a weak link in Volkswagen engines and head gaskets aren't particularly long living either. (6:50)
    After that I have to admit that I've never heard the term "WR", VW just calles it "W".
    Furthermore while the 444 (SAE) HP were something, but by the early 2000s the Phaetons and Touaregs were also available with a V10 TDI (in Europe), which may not quite have the 444bhp, but a much higher torque as they are diesels. (9:40) Having driven both of them, I'd much prefer the V10 Diesel over the W12 Petrol engine, but that may differ in the US.
    Hope that helps people, sorry if I remember anything wrong.
    Sayonara!

One of them has a vr6 swapped into it and It sounds like crap tbh, but the other one is trying to replicate it with its diesel engene and It sounds like a tractor and well riced civic had a baby. The worst fartcan ever. And yes, they are reving them in 1am. Sorry for bad english.

      @@v6tex, I've owned 3 B5.5 wagons, all with 2.0 TDIs. Loved them all. The interior is pretty simple, easy to use controls, super comfortable seats, very generous head room, which I personally appreciate being long in the torso.
      The chassis itself transmits less road noise than many of VW's newer offerings and the engine noise was pretty quiet at speed as well. Very comfortable and quiet highway cruisers. Great for long trips. The handling is pretty good, though lacking in feedback thanks to that Audi virtual steering axis suspension.
      Need to get myself back into one. I find them much more comfortable than the 2014 Passat I have now.
      As for engine options, unfortunately here in the U.S. we only got 1.8 turbos, 2.8 V6s, 4.0 W8 and the 2.0 TDI (BHW code, came automatic transmission only and was sold here for only 2 model years).
      I miss the comfort of being in one of those. Outstanding car just from a comfort and noise standpoint alone.

      If you have any self respect as an engineer you will avoid the automotive industry like the plague. Cars are just assemblies of items invented for other uses, there is nothing on any car that was invented for use in cars. Tractors are at the cutting edge of automotive technology, cars are very distant from anything innovative. If you want a technical challenge you should get in to either defense works, or the manufacture and maintenance of high-speed food processing and packaging equipment.

      Marine engineers design ridiculously powerful engines because they don't have to figure out the brake system, yeah, even the beefiest brembos would overheat, with that much power, then we add suspension that has to ride good, handle corners and whatnot. Designing a car is like a fine watch, everything is designed to work together. Is no coincidence the LS guys blow their transmissions when they don't take everything into accountm. Marine engineers don't know what a booster master cylinder is. That's why the most powerful cars have the craziest sticker prices, it takes the very best to design, and execute the production and manufacture of the car, with the finest leathers and wood grains for the interior and edge cutting technology. Truly masterpieces. But people often destroys them because they can't handle the big power.
