The golf advert. Settle an argument

[topher]

this would be more efficient

I'm not arguing that it isn't a twin cam as I'm not sure on that fact.

I always thought that if it's a twin cam that means it's identical.
The 16v isn't identical so I would only call that a DOHC.

Twin cams = two cams.
No cams are identical.

  thank god he doesnt own a  MK6 and get involved in the dsg - manual arguement 

[Sam]

This aint a bad shout either

[Mikester]

Doesn't the VR6 have a DOHC that are both chain driven?

[Mitching]

We wouldn't be having this argument if everyone bought an 8v

Ok it's a twin cam.

Yes I know the profile will be different from inlet to outlet.


Ok I was wrong of the understanding of twin cam.

I thought a twin cam looks identical to each other. Where as the golf 16v camshafts are totally different from each other. 

Sorry for the misunderstanding of twin.


Christ it's not like I thought it was a sohc lol

Yes but that is not what I meant mate.

A lot of cars are chain driven and twin cam.

I was simply saying the 16v golf doesn't have the same layout as most twin cams.
Most twin cams appear to have identical camshafts (twin) the golf isn't identical. That's why I thought it wasn't a twin cam. I know it's a duel over head cam.
It was a simple misunderstanding of the word twin.

[Sam]

i want 3 cams

Vtech? Or is that duel but only one at a time?

[tweed]

It's all about the quad cam!
