There is at least one WBX6 engine in Australia. It was on display at the VW Nationals around 1992.

This ad could be a bit dodgy.
Advertised as a 3,2 WBX6 but "The engine is based upon the well known 2,1 wasserboxer and boosted up to 2789ccm."
"I am selling my quite rear T3 Caravelle "
Yes it looks quite "rear".

He mingled it up with Beetle talk I thought, he was talking about his friends beetle at this passage. Very ‘rear’ indeed especially from behind.........Ha

I just had a look and it appears that he has had the engine rebuilt
by a beetle "expert" and has added a turbo to the mix bring power
output up to 850bhp???
How on earth would a poor old standard 094 gearbox cope with that much grunt?
Mine couldn't even handle 147bhp (with my lead-foot wife driving of-course).

That middle of the fool's ad is about the engine builder he used. The built up engine reference has nothing to do with the WBX-6 which is for sale.

The nice thing with the Oettinger flat-6 is it is made of the same alloy as the WBX-4. Same headgasket issues from what I'm told. And you thought the WBX-4 was expensive to maintain...

On second thoughts I think It was a 2.5

A very badly built one also. I think that Mark Hammond rebuilt it many years later.

The 6wbx we have had for the past 15yrs or so has been a brilliant engine, it powers through a auto box and its a t3 double cab.......this engine block was cast and designed by vw and oettinger themselves purchased all the r&d engines and parts ...there is less than 100 world wide. No headgasket issues !!! just bald rear tyres steve
