V6 TDI Engines in Light Commercial Vehicles

Translated on 09-10-2026, 9:42.

Hi,
It would be great if not only the Amarok, but also the "real" T6 received the six-cylinder engine! The engine is obviously a "robust version of the V6 that has been used in the A6 and A7 models since 2014.

Where do you want to get the space for that in the T6?

I wrote this in the "real" T6, not the current T5.3!
Since it's still in development, hopefully there will be space for it soon...

Hello,

You probably already get something similar in the V-class, and it's likely more robust and cheaper.
Anyone who buys a T6 (T5.3) right now only has themselves to blame!

Best regards,

@Albrecht

: The V-Class no longer has a V6 engine. It was discontinued with the Viano.

Ah, I didn't know that.

Unfortunately, they gave up a unique selling point, which VW is now reintroducing in the Amarok

.

He is now finally ready for use in trains

Best regards,

Hello,

I don't quite understand the decision-makers at VW: First, they didn't offer a V6 engine at all, and now they're only offering engines larger than a V6...

A V6 engine really makes a difference in hunting vehicles, especially when the landowner, who is also the leaseholder of the hunting grounds, arrives in a 4-cylinder ML.

And the average farmer who uses the vehicle as a versatile workhorse ends up driving the only V6 engine in the village.

Sure, here is the translation of the text from German to English:

"Sg" is an abbreviation for "singular." It is used to indicate that a noun or pronoun is in the singular form.
Alevuz.
