**2.5L Inline-5 FAQ and DIY**

**herbehop** · 05-04-2007 01:11 PM

Hello all,
This will be the new thread for the long awaited FAQ and Do-It-Yourself information relating to the 2.5L Inline 5 motor found in in MKV Rabbits and Jettas. I will be adding all threads from the past that have been useful to all of us. In an attempt to keep the information neatly organized, only moderators will be allowed to edit the FAQ.

If you do not see the information you are looking for, don't forget to search both recent and archived threads. Many topics have been discussed in the past and there is a good chance you will be able to find some information on the subject you researching. If your search does not yield the information you are seeking, please don't hesitate to post.

In the future if you see something I missed or something that belongs in the FAQ please send an instant message to one of the moderators and ask them to add it.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation and support.
-Marc
