Hello,

I never would suggest to put a Audi 5 cylinder engine
into a Syncro. That's the wrong engine for Off-Road
application. Too less torque on low rpms, you have to
push it up to 4000 rpm to get right torque in the mud.

But it's an excellent engine for highway cruise. And
for this only 2WDs are needed.
