Whether it's gas or diesel, or whether it's Volvo VW/Audi, Mercedes-Benz or even FIAT, every single 5 cylinder engine seems to be extremely reliable, especially compared to 4 and 6 cylinder engines
>>289997121. If 5-cylinder engines are so reliable, why are they so rare in trucks and buses?2. Overall, very few 5-cylinder engines have been built compared to 6-cylinder engines, not to mention the very popular 4-cylinder engines.3. Are you sure the 2.0L 20V (Petrol) from Fiat Coupé and Marea is so reliable?
>>28999712>plastic yurotrash >reliable
>>28999724>1. If 5-cylinder engines are so reliable, why are they so rare in trucks and buses?Not exactly true, many mercedes heavy duty vehicles have used 5-cylinder engines, including the UNIMOG, a literal military vehicle>3. Are you sure the 2.0L 20V (Petrol) from Fiat Coupé and Marea is so reliable?Yes
>>289997125 cylinders tend to be simpler, and not as crammed with all sorts of VANOS/VTEC/DOD/Turbo garbage. There are obviously 5 pots with that stuff, but they don't make them anymore.
>>28999729That's an engine cover, the engine itself isn't made out of plastic.
>>28999743I know what an engine cover is dipshit, literally where did I say the engine was plastic?
>>28999751You called it plastic in this reply>>28999729Hope that helps.
>>28999753Show me the word "engine" in that post
>>28999756The thread is about engines. Did you get confused and think it was about something else?
>>28999759I'm shitting on the entire European car industry as a whole for making disposable plastic shitheaps. Hope that helps!
>>28999766Yeah well the engines aren't plastic.
>>28999729>>28999751>>28999756>>28999766You're real stupid, aren't you? Oh, and by the way, what language are you speaking? It certainly ain't 'American', eh?
>>28999770Just about everything bolted to the block is. Don't forget about the biodegradable onions wiring harnesses rodents find irresistably delicious! >>28999774Seethe, yurofag, your industry makes leasebait junkyard fodder that simply doesn't last even before the warranty is up.
>>28999790That's a BMW. They have never produced a 5 cylinder engine.
>>28999796See>>28999766
>>28999790what reliable engine powers the car that you drive?you do have a car, correct?
>>28999803There is no "European car industry as a whole". Fiat has more in common with Chrysler than with BMW, Volvo has more in common with Mazda than with Audi and so on.
>>28999766>amerimutt IQ on display again
>>28999805A carbureted small block chevy and a mazda BP engine. >>28999809Then why do they all make junk that barely lasts the warranty period with an overreliance on plastic that turns brittle and sharts itself by 10 years of age?
>>28999812>yurotard seething when someone doesn't like their shitty cars pottery
>>28999814That's a loaded question that contains a false premise.
>>28999737Audi still has their DAZAor rather hadpretty sure they just had to retire it because the new euro emission laws
>>28999820Source on it being false? Because that's my experience working on them here and plenty of owners' experiences posted online for you to read.
>>28999836Just the many European engines that are widely accepted to have legendary status due to their reliability. Here are just some that come to mind: Fiat 1.9JTD, Volvo Redblock, Mercedes OM616, VW 1.9TDI, Peugeot 2.0 HDI, BMW M50. You will be very hard-pressed to find a genuine automotive enthusiast who knows their stuff and has anything bad to say about these engines.
>>28999845>all ancient engines lol
>>28999849>all ancient engines>>28999814>A carbureted small block chevy and a mazda BP engineno pics btw
>>28999854The difference there is their current iterations are also still reliable, you don't have to dig to cars they made 30+ years ago to find something that'll last. Post your toolbox, retard.
>>28999858Current GM small blocks are reliable? What’s going on with the 6.2 buddy?
>>29000044You know they make more small blocks than that one displacement version of it right? Even then they're replacing affected engines.
>>28999712over the years volvo i5 turbos got bad. im not sure if they ever fixed it or if thats when they killed the 5 cyl in their lineup but they crack cylinder walls and people on forums sleeve them to fix the mistake volvo made by making them too thin.
>>28999812"Americans" are mostly mexicans
Chevy isuzu 5cyl engine in the old colorado cracks heads, sucks
I know a Land Rover TD5 that broke a crank.
>>29002108Not only that but the timing chain system is a nightmare that likes to stretch and is a royal bitch to repair.
>>28999712>Odd number of cylinders Michael J. Fox tier
I love 5 cylinder engines.
>>28999849>complains about "ancient" engines>most likely is a person that will glaze sbc and/or sbf at moments notice.Kys faggot
>>29003195lol I own a sbc and it sucks, and I hate f*rd
>>28999845Like most diesels the problem is not the engine but the load of bullshit it comes with
Power of the Four,Gas mileage of the Six.
>>28999712Sludgemonsters arent reliable are they
>>28999712The last Volvo T5s were kinda shit
I really want to put this engine in my golf 7 R
>>29003344Sounds better than either
