Mk6 questions..(engine/fwd-rwd)

[23]

1) What is the most powerful (standard) engine supplied in Mk6 SWB???

2) Are the SWBs all front wheel drive? if not how do I tell (from an advert for example)

3) What is the difference between a 70ps, 80ps etc. etc. engine?? Is it just ecu mapping / turbo pressure?

Many thanks for any help in answering my probably dumb questions

most earlier mk6 swb if they were rwd they were 330's size of wheels can give it away too 15's on fwd and 16's on rwd

[Guy88]

Most powerful engine is 137ps 2.4 RWD

I think the more powerful engines are TdCi and up to the 90ps are TdDi but im not sure

125 ps TDCi in FWD (75, 85 and 100ps in TDdi FWD)
The TDCi was fitted to the later Mk6, I'm not sure but there is probably other power outputs other than 125 available with the later engine too.

There may also be a RWD SWB, but I've never seen one

Like HiCube says, 15" wheels on FWD. RWD has 16" and the load area floor is higher by about 6" over the rear door sill. FWD floor by about an inch.

the most engine output is a 125ps tdci2.0 in fwd,in the rwd its 137ps 2.4
the 125 in the swb goes very well indeed!

[Nighthawk]

most powerful engine in swb and rwd was actually 145Ps








it's a bifuel flying machine

ok I'll bite what was or is it and what is it derived from

[100ps_drw_hicube]

2.3 dohc petrol jobby

dont know if im wrong but think it's 141ps duel fuel and 145ps straight petrol

The 125 ps seems rare, most are advertised (upto £5K) are 70 ps. I'll have to keep an eye out.

Is is difficult to increase motor power, say 80ps to 100ps.

Are you sure what Transits you're looking at

I ask you this because the outputs you are quoting are all for MK5 transits built between 1994 and 2000

Show me a 70PS MK6

[23]

sorry, I meant most are 75ps (I'm looking at SWB/low roof).

What do the numbers mean for Mk6. i.e. 260, 280 etc.

Steer clear of those as they are the early model without an intercooler and peeps on this site are struggling to make them go

What exactly are you after (engine aside)

[AndyG]

These numbers refer to the permitted weight you are alowed to carry

[Nighthawk]

the numbers denote the gross vehicle mass

so....

350 is 3500 Kgs
280 is 2800Kgs

and so on
