Firing order question
143214321432, yeh, its 4,3 and then 2,1. Must be better to have one pair
side firing then the other side pair than individually ?. Then again my inline 4 cylinder cars have had same firing sequence. After scribbling out sequences for a moment the only one that truly alternates is 132413241324 etc. May be others!? Probably a reason there somewhere , even the "streakers defence" = it seemed like a good idea at the time!!!

I THINK its more difficult to do it on the cam. 1423 or 1324 -- Karma, What a concept! |

It doesn't matter which cylinder you're starting with, the way VW designed it is that two cylinders on one side are fired in succession before the two on the other side are fired, i.e. 3 follows 4, and 1 follows 2. The cylinder being fired alternates from left to right bank only once in the 4-cylinder cycle. What Mr. K is asking is why doesn't it alternate sides after each time a cylinder is fired so that the fired cylinder alternates sides twice in the 4-cylinder cycle. In a water-cooled car where the cylinders are inside the case you don't want adjacent cylinders firing in succession -- thus avoiding localized heat build-up. |
