jesterwalker69 0 Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 The syncho engine is the 2.9 engine found in the 'rado believed to be pushing out around 188bhp iirc.You're P Reg will be an OBD2 model VR6 engine and there are no specific figures for power output. But you should see anywhere from 174bhp minimum to some reported cases of 200+bhp averaging around the 185bhp mark though. Link to post Share on other sites

Rikki 2 Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 The syncro is a 2.9 obd2....yours will be 2.8 obd2. Vw never officially said figures for the later cars but as oliVeR6 says you should see between 170-190 with any luck! Link to post Share on other sites
