maff 10 Posted February 23, 2014 Bit of a strange one but can anybody tell me why some 1992 vr6's have a 135kw rating as printed inside the service book and then a 1993 model has 140kw? i know the kw is a power figure and is translated to 190bhp but why are the 1992 cars 135kw? are they slightly less powerful? Never understood this! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maff 10 Posted February 23, 2014 Somebody must of wondered about this? 135kw converts to 181 bhp and 140kw to 187 so why the different numbers?? I thought all corrado vr6's were 190bhp Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GusPW 0 Posted February 23, 2014 Perhaps the dealer made a mistake and put the details of the 2.8 AAA engine? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maff 10 Posted February 23, 2014 hmmm, don't know I've had four 1992 vr6's and one 93' definatly said 135kw in all of them apart from the 93?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Portent 0 Posted February 23, 2014 Didn't the US get the 2.8 engine? Maybe it's related to that and they had already printed the first batch of options labels before deciding on a 2.9 for Europe? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yandards 0 Posted February 24, 2014 The boot sticker comes from the factory. It may be the an error as the lower power units used distributor and coils instead of a coil pack and they didn't have the dyno numbers for the 2.9? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted February 24, 2014 Does a 92 vr6 have a catalytic convertor? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maff 10 Posted February 24, 2014 Yes a 1992 does have a cat, i can't believe I've found a question that nobody knows a definitive answer too! surely some rado experts must know why? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vw rule 19 Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) Looking at a few things on the internet, it could well be as some of the other guys have already said, that the VR6 with the distributor has the slightly less BHP, and the change over year late 1992 to early / mid 1993 for the coil pack VR6 has the slightly higher BHP. Link for: Power conversion table (Kilowatt to Horsepower) http://www.aqua-calc.com/convert/power/kilowatt-to-horsepower Link to 310 page PDF for all code numbers that are on your boot sticker http://www.docstoc.com/docs/32630657/PR-Numbers On page 227 on that PDF link = could be the distributor type VR6 2.8 M21 6-cyl. petrol engine 2.8 L/103 kW VR6 Motronic, closed-loop cat w/EGR and SAPbase, engine is T2X On page 228 on that PDF link = could be the coil type VR6 2.8 M2F 6-cyl. petrol engine 2.8 L/128 kW VR6 Motronic, MVEG 2, EGR a closed-loop catbase, engine is T6N On page 238 on that PDF link = VR6 24V MB0 6-cyl. petrol engine 2.8 L/150 kW 24V VR6 EU 3/4 Base engine is T9S. On page 226 on that PDF link = could be the distributor type VR6 2.9 M0P 6-cyl. petrol engine 2.9 L/135 kW VR6 Motronic, MVEG 1, catalytic converter base engine is T6Q On page 227 on that PDF link = could be the coil pack type VR6 2.9 M1M 6-cyl. petrol engine 2.9 L/140 kW VR6 Motronic, closed-loop catalyt. converterbase engine is T6Q Hope this helps Si Edited February 25, 2014 by vw rule Second 2.8 VR6 M2F = I typed M21 now corrected Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks but i'm none the wiser, so the 'golf vr6 with a coil pack' has less bhp? as whether a corrado has a coil pack or dizzy they are both 190bhp so maybe they used the golf engine sticker data then?
