EA395 or VW VR5 engines
The family of 5-cylinder Volkswagen VR5 EA395 engines was produced from 1996 to 2005 and was installed only on advanced versions of models on the Golf 4 and Passat B5 platforms. These power units are essentially an EA360 motor, but without one cylinder.
EA395 VR5 10v engines
In 1996, the VR-class engine cut down to 5 cylinders debuted on the Passat B5 model. In all other respects, the new unit completely repeated the already massive VR6 engine at that time: a cast-iron block with a camber of 15°, an aluminum cylinder head for 10 valves and a timing drive from two chains.
Unusually, the longitudinal and transverse aggregates had the same index:
- AGZ (10v, distributed injection, 150 hp / 205 Nm);
EA395 VR5 20v engines
In 2000, the power units of the VR5 family finally received a new cylinder head for 20 valves. There is also a modern ignition system, and the power and torque have grown.
This time, the power units of the longitudinal and transverse arrangement had different indices:
| Engine | Years | Volume | Power | Fuel | Timing | Oil | Lifespan |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Volkswagen AGZ | 1996–2001 | 2.3 L | 150 hp | petrol | chain | 4.0 L | ~275 000 km |
| Volkswagen AQN | 2000–2005 | 2.3 L | 170 hp | petrol | 2 chains | 4.6 L | ~280 000 km |
| Volkswagen AZX | 2000–2005 | 2.3 L | 170 hp | petrol | 2 chains | 4.6 L | ~275 000 km |
