NA = naturally aspirated

Starting to sink in cheers folks I get the n.a. and kv bit now so heterodox goes

I have a 2.2 10v 5cylinder, n/a, kv engine! !!

So are the n.a engines the same as the turbo ones apart from some upgrades? I am now thinking no turbo, so no extra strain on engine?

I dont recall there being an NA engine code. Think there was an NG coded engine in 2.3 form that came just after yours and then it was the 20v DOHC engine. Umm, think that was a 7a engine code but someone will put me right.

Anyhow, it sounds like you have a normally aspirated KV Coupe Quattro. Either way, it will sound lovely and will stick to the road like **** to a blanket. Because you cannot spin the wheels in them (without destroying the clutch) they just grip and grip and grip. Mine loved roundabouts. The tyres didn't though.

No there are a lot of differences on the turbo, only a few bits are shared. But they do bolt right up to your gearbox, so you could easily change the engine if you wanted to

Cheers cottis it's all starting to make sense now slowly sinking in...

N/A - I was thinking NG should stop speed reading threads - My 5cyl Passat (2.0i 10v 115 bhp) is engine code JS
