RE: 5 cyl TDI(was...Re: VW & Toyota)
<x-flowed>Yes & no. I checked-up and it depends on which 'W' engine you are talking
about. The W18 is 3 banks of 6 but the W12 is 4 banks of 3 - two VR6s
side-by-side on a common crank. I had read the details about the W12 a
while ago and had got it fixed in my mind that the W18 was the same style,
without noticing that 4 into 18 doesn't go!
I suppose you could have a WW24 which would be equivalent to 3 stacked
radials!
