What's funnier are the people that fell for it.

I liked the "so it's just a vacuum leak guage?" comment from OP.

That is funny as hell. :laugh::thumbsup:

Oh, and referring to a car by the engine code is lame. It's as played out as Lambo doors on a Civic. :thumbsdown:

lol, VR6 has no turbo, so no need for a turbo gauge.

With that in mind, I <3 my turbo'd Jetta.

On a board relating to a particular model of car, referring to yours by the engine name makes sense. VR6 isn't the code, it's the type. It's the same as being on a Camaro board and referring to yours as an LS1. Everyone knows you're talking about a Camaro, otherwise why would you be there? Now, if you referred to an SS as an R7T you're just being a show off

It's a trim level. There's a big difference between a BMW 325i and a 335i.

Same thing as there's a big difference in mechanics between a VR6 and a 1.8T.

yep. Now when I post about some kinda problem, I even go as far as specifying that Im talking about a 12v VR6 as opposed to 24v VR6 as it can help others narrow down which diagnosis path to take

Vacuum leak gauge lol.

Should have told him to connect the line to a tire so he could go around saying hes boosting 35 lbs on a stock N/A engine.

Meh, I'm all for additional information and a manifold pressure gauge isn't bad to have. Of course, you have to have a basic understanding of what the gauge is for, which the guy in the other thread apparently doesn't...

And the guy in the thread was wrong. Getting to 0 at full throttle doesn't mean that he has no vacuum leaks. It's the fact that it can hold 18-20 inches of mercury vacuum at idle that means there are no vacuum leaks. An NA engine at full throttle can have gaping holes in the intake tract and still sit at "0" relative manifold pressure.

So, why do people refer to it as an E90 then? I know that BMW used the 325i name over many different years of car models but really...you could just say 5th generation or just say the year of the car. Everyone knows what the 335i is though.

It just sounds lame.

Because the same model year could have either engine. The VR6 desigination is both an engine type and a trim level.

If you were buying a a new IS wouldn't you want to know if it's an IS250 or an IS350?

i miss my vr6.

E90 is a form of generation, such as C5, C6...

...this was on a Mark IV board, so that level of knowledge can already be assumed. Thus the piece needed was the engine, which the configuration was a VR6.

On Dakota boards there's a big debate whether 1992 was a new generation or not. It's easily argued either way.
(smoothed front end, 3" longer front end, 6 lug instead of 5, Magnum engines instead of TBI, V8s offered without the Shelby package...)

An IS250 isn't offered with the 3.5l V6 that the IS350 has. The only difference between the two models IS the engine...which the model designation clears up.

What the hell is a VR6 anyway? Is it a Jetta? A Passat? Some car they haven't made in 10 years? I'm not even sure actually. And don't tell me that it's the engine, or a trim level, because you don't buy and drive around in an engine or a trim level...it has to come in some kind of chassis. :laugh:

I guess my gripe is that these designations are practically meaningless to anyone who doesn't follow these vehicles. Try telling most people that you have an E46 BMW and they'll look at you like you have 10 heads...hell, I've talked to people who own these cars and they don't even know what it means.

Are you telling me that the Dakota has not had a new generation since 1992? :laugh:MAO!!! No wonder nobody buys those things.

What's a Mark IV? Isn't that a Lincoln?

No, there were two clear generation changes in 1997 and again in 2005. The debate is whether 1997 is the second or third.

"Mark IV" is the generation of the Jetta/Golf that the particular board was talking about. If you had read the thread (before it was shut down...) you would've seen that instead of coming in here and making a bunch of asinine comments about the nit picky details that were clearly visible if you took half a second to look. Stay in P&N, they love that kind of stuff.

The E9x 335i is not the only 335i, there was an E30 version as well.
