Default 1996 A4 SE - V5 engine?

Hello people,

I am looking to buy a 1996-1999 Audi A4 and have seen one advertised as
1.8SE V5 engine. I have tried to google this and look on various
websites to find out about this V5 engine but theres not much info. I
guess its like a v6 with one less cylinder but whats the benefit?

Can anyone tell me the performance/power, fuel consumption, pros/cons
of this engine? I just never had an audi before. Should i just go for a
usual 4 cylinder?

thanks,

Zee

you will only have to buy 5 spark plugs and if changing leads, 5 of them. A
good thing is there is more room under the bonnet than the V6 when its
requires to be worked on.

As for fuel, it will be a little worse than the V4 but better than the V6

otherwise a wonderful engine. I also understand they have used the oval
piston/cylinder design on this model.

The Engine in the 1.8 is a 4 banger it always has been, it's a 20v 4
cylinder, 5 valves per cylinder.

VW released a v5 and I think Audi did back in the early days. the V5 is
around 2300cc

It's an inline 5 that Audi developed with Volvo. Together with 20 valves and
a turbo is a most impressive engine.

Not in an A4, it isn't. There simply isn't room for the I5 in the A4
chassis. I agree with others, the seller has been confused by the 5V
logo on the engine covers - indicating 5 *valves* per cylinder.

The 2300cc engine is the inline 5, aka the 20V, which of course is 4 valves
per cylinder.

Ummm... okay. But it's even more confusing - VW did, indeed, produce a
V5 (narrow angle 15 degrees?), similar to the VR6. The V5 is 2324cc,
and was used in the Golf, Bora and Passat.
