Cylinder Numbering

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Volkswagen Touareg, 2013 Volkswagen Touareg, 2012 Volkswagen Touareg, and 2011 Volkswagen Touareg. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The numbering of cylinders begins on right side -A- as seen in direction of travel (cylinder bank 1) opposite the power transfer side -C-. Cylinders are counted on each side in sequence. -B- = cylinder bank 2.
