Same, my buddy had a Mk3 GTI and I had the Mk3 GTI VR6. Those cars turned us into mechanics out of necessity, it was hell sometimes, but I would do it all over again!
I sold my 93 corrado with 237M. Still ran strong did many waterfests and the motor never been opened. Most of the issues I had were with the A/C. I still wish I had that car it was so clean. 5.0 mustangs on the highway were no problem. Integra GSR no problem. Much more torque.
The VR6 water pump replacement was an “engine out” service per the service center. I remember guys on VWVortex forum said you could loosen all the motor mounts and jack the engine up enough to get access to replace it. I opted instead to just sell the car. 😂
Me and you dude living our dreams at the same moment in time. I got my Mark 1 VR6 content coming. I built the car when I was in high school a Mark 3 VR6 turbo kept the motor Schimmel 3L BVH TT Tuning cams....
We used to replace those coil packs with ford taurus EDIS modules. They were electrically compatible. You just had to splice the connector over and work up a mount for em.
I have a 24v with 130k miles and it’s great. Did the normal water pump, crack pipe, thermostat housing replacement before it became a problem and I’ve had zero issues in 3 summers of driving it.
At least with the VR6 the chains usually last 150k miles before starting to make noise as opposed to the Audi V engines that only make it 50k-70k miles.
Yes, you have to take everything off to get to the last intake manifold bolt, but you can take it all apart and put it back together in a few hours. Did a few crack pipe and water pump replacements and just replaced the tensioner and coil pack while I was in there because … you know they’d go bad the next day if I didn’t.
Yeah Vin, with your future plans of throwing a turbo on here, I'd at least go with forged pistons and rods, along with a cam and better valve train so you won't be worried about revving her out...then maybe some head porting, then let the turbo do the rest 👌🏻
Really do like your exotic stuff with the Ferrari but these down to Earth builds are what I really love. Can you do a list of parts used and where to get them from please vin 😂
Question about Chain Noise , If you hear Chain noise on start up on a 3.6 VR but the noise goes away after , is that something to be concern about right away to get the chains and guides done ?
I owned a 1987 VW Fox 2DR Sportswagen, 1996 VW 4DR Jetta and a 1998 VW GTI with the Euro Jetta front end and interior. I will never own a VW again haha
@@fcpeuro-media Literally the same lol MK2 VR6 i'm trying to rebuild looking for a 1 stop shop to do it all (got some videos on my page here of me driving it)
Slagging off timing chain placement on something that can last 200 thousand miles 😂 The vr6 is the best engine vw ever made, get a charger on this one 👌
crank walk in my ea113 killed it, wish I knew before, could've at least saved the block and crank. Very stupid design on those, compared to the older 1.8t

Watch more on this build at Vins Channel Here: th-cam.com/video/7INv1clRZ3o/w-d-xo.html
Vin imo is the most entertaining to watch out of Hoonigan
I just don't like seeing him sell all the cars
@@Adam-vc1xl lol they just cars/property and he's running a business as well
2 Vin videos in 1 day!
Double Vin win.
now we just need to get him to do a diesel build "Vin's Diesel" LOL
You should get Scotto in with one of his Euro projects.
Few things in the works with Scotto 😉
@@fcpeuro-media Nice one you dudes!
@@fcpeuro-media I hope you pay homage to Scotto's bolt cleaning abilities.

It's like being in my garage in college or my buddy's garage back home working on our MK3s. It's nostalgic. I love this kind of content.
Same, my buddy had a Mk3 GTI and I had the Mk3 GTI VR6. Those cars turned us into mechanics out of necessity, it was hell sometimes, but I would do it all over again!
I really do enjoy these type of informational type of videos. I may never pull apart a VR6 but do enjoy the knowledge transfer.
Thats the goal - informative more than anything. Plus if you do find yourself helping a buddy with a VR6 someday - you have a headstart haha
This video is taking me back to 1998 with my MKIII Ginster. I miss that car.
I love fcp euro media videos
Glad you enjoy the channel!

Ughhh the one that got away....
I trust a guy who starts with hand tools. You'll save yourself hours of frustration by not shearing/stripping bolts and screws by starting by hand.
Love this. Engine tear down's the ultimate "while you're in there" job.
That bit at the back of the block was for the tdi vr6. Brake vacuum pump
The VR6 water pump replacement was an “engine out” service per the service center. I remember guys on VWVortex forum said you could loosen all the motor mounts and jack the engine up enough to get access to replace it. I opted instead to just sell the car. 😂
Great vid. You had me when I saw Vin was in it. I really enjoy his content.
12V VR6 content in 2024?! Awesome!
Fcp Euro always had the parts I needed for my VRT build! Start up should be next week! Nice job Vin! Can't wait to see the finished project!
Good luck - hope it turns over like a dream!
just came from outside working on my vrt 12v and saw this on my recommendation, definitely gonna follow this build!
My first 5 cars were old Volkswagens, now I want another one after this video series.
You should do it.... what would it be?
The MSD mod for the VR coil pack!!!
Vin and FCP! Looking forward to more content on this tear down.
I had a 92 corrado vr6 and a mk4 gti vr6 and loved them both!
22:55 "Who stole my chair? Not me no way!" 🤣
Great vid, looking forward to seeing your future work.
I hope you guys do the intermediate bearings. Most people and shops overlook that part of a rebuild on this engines.
Me and you dude living our dreams at the same moment in time. I got my Mark 1 VR6 content coming. I built the car when I was in high school a Mark 3 VR6 turbo kept the motor Schimmel 3L BVH TT Tuning cams....
Heckkkkk ya - good luck!
This looks like fun! I'd love to do this!
Oddly satisfying to teardown an engine !
We used to replace those coil packs with ford taurus EDIS modules. They were electrically compatible. You just had to splice the connector over and work up a mount for em.
Love these videos! Almost have 300,000 original miles on mine and she still runs amazing, definitely a needy engine with maintenance though!
3000k Thats a proper run!
I used to want a VW with a VR. This video changed my mind.
I have a 24v with 130k miles and it’s great. Did the normal water pump, crack pipe, thermostat housing replacement before it became a problem and I’ve had zero issues in 3 summers of driving it.
great video, lots of terms that are respectable. im liking the newly found out by me channel. Looking forward to more VR6 content
Dub content. Always a winner.
I know of a vr6 swapped mk2 country i want bad but just have nowhere to keep it at the min
Great job
Keep it up
From Argentina...
At least with the VR6 the chains usually last 150k miles before starting to make noise as opposed to the Audi V engines that only make it 50k-70k miles.
This is SO COOL, I love vw content even tho I hated working on my mk5 haha
great collab!
Definitely reliving my early 20s in this video, crazy to think that was 20 years ago now lol
Am in on this one.
I really enjoyed this video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Damn! I have my atlas VR6 to educate myself what I have its amazing 🤩
Northeast nuts & bolts. HEAT!!!!
The real salt life right there. Its all we know!
Epic stuff, love it!

Port the head, 3.0 build! This is fun to watch.
The old "While your in there" moments. Change everything even remotely worn out
I miss my jetta Vr6
Damn Nate Brown, wish you were still at NGP. It’s not the same place without you and Otto😢
7:18 you can remove that cap to manually prime the oil pump without running the car.
Another car that what’s a headache back in the days to work on was the 90’s Nissan 300zx most of the times you had to remove the engine to work on it
Yeah Vin, with your future plans of throwing a turbo on here, I'd at least go with forged pistons and rods, along with a cam and better valve train so you won't be worried about revving her out...then maybe some head porting, then let the turbo do the rest 👌🏻
Vin you got to do the cams bro!! 🤔🤔🤔
Send me that corrado steering wheel to Portugal! I want to put it on my golf 2 🙌🏽😃
Really do like your exotic stuff with the Ferrari but these down to Earth builds are what I really love. Can you do a list of parts used and where to get them from please vin 😂
We will have a full rebuild of the engine and car including a parts list - almost everything coming right from our shelves here at FCP Euro!
Some guy called Vin sent me here 😎👋🏽
And I'm sure all the labor and parts are on the house for Vin right?
The tall guy with the vr6 looks familiar
Can't quite put our finger on it....
Will you use The Spacer plate? There Any Difference in the Porsche 3.6l VR6? Love to Learn More about this Engine or the 3.6l VR6. Thanks Gory
Most iconic from Woilfsburg? does the VW flat four not exist?
Question about Chain Noise , If you hear Chain noise on start up on a 3.6 VR but the noise goes away after , is that something to be concern about right away to get the chains and guides done ?
more on the MINI racecar in the background...
Are you guys going to bring back the 328i ?
Sure are - new engine goes in this week finally!
Yay
Vr6 came out 91 in a b3 glx.
I owned a 1987 VW Fox 2DR Sportswagen, 1996 VW 4DR Jetta and a 1998 VW GTI with the Euro Jetta front end and interior. I will never own a VW again haha

love my 3.6L VR6. Such a great engine! Except for the goddamn PCV being buried inside the intake manifold. UGH VW PLZ WHY?!?!

Calling Vin out for saying crack pipe but using the term slave 🤔 😂
we're working on cars here, nobody cares about 'politics' 🤣
Agreed. Which is why I thought it was a funny callout. I ain’t mad!
Who won the m4 csi ?
It will be announced in the coming weeks (going through the legal process now!)

Did chains, cams, and a flywheel with the engine in the car on my mk3…. Never again, even though it wasnt too bad
Def 78,000 miles no oil changes 😂😂
Delete secondary air
Good chance that whole swap is from a b4 passat lol
Don't you say that! haha
Every body know that all used vr6 have 150 000 kilometers
What's a kilometer
@@deelcody 0.621371 mile or About 95% of the world uses the metric system, which includes kilometers

A lot of smack talk and false info on those engines in this video.
They really aren't that bad to work on... or I have Stockholm syndrome...
