Here’s a look inside a Volkswagen 5 Cylinder engine and how it works!

The Volkswagen EA855 uses a cast iron block, aluminum upper oil pan and aluminum head with a plastic valve cover. Being an inline 5 cylinder means the construction is similar to a 4 cylinder with a very unique crankshaft timing arrangement. This allows the pistons to be 72 degrees apart for an even distribution of power over the crankshaft's rotation and gives it a unique exhaust note.

The engine in this video had about 155,000km and came out of a 2008 VW Rabbit with a failed 6 speed automatic transmission. While these engines aren't known to have major issues, the PCV system is one weak spot which may dictate complete valve cover replacement. The placement of the intake and exhaust bolts under their respective manifolds and the timing chain at the rear of the engine bring question to the design of this engine for serviceability.
