Cylinder block
The cylinder block, with its extremely short dimensions, originates
from the 2.5l R5 MPI naturally aspirated engine which VW has
been fitting on Bora and Jetta models for the North American
market since 2004.
It lends itself very well to transverse mounting due to its very
short overall length, and is the shortest and most powerful engine
in its class (see figure below).
The piston cooling spray nozzles are mounted in the crankcase.
