I said it last time, I will say it again: This is my favorite car of all times, that VR6 engine is heavenly. I will definitely need this video when I start working on mine, in the near future. Thanks a lot, again, Charles.
I don’t even own a VW anymore but I like watching how you work. You’re thorough, informative, and sincere. I also really like the fact that you aren’t arrogant or condescending or act like we should know everything already. Keep up the great work!
As a self taught engine rebuilder, I love these kinds of videos. I’m always trying to pick up tips wherever I can. First engine I rebuilt was an Alfa Romeo 147 & I’ve never looked back.
A handy trick for the refrigeration pipes , compressor and anything else etc , is to put those expanding ear plugs in them to stop contamination on the bench . Its super cheap and super quick idea !
Hi Charles, I love the point on oiling fasteners before undoing them. When a corroded fastener picks up and smears metal around it's done. Oiling fasteners before undoing them prevents 99% of these accidents. And again, using quality tools properly is correctly emphasized. I like, looking forward to the rest of this build.

A tip I learned from a diesel truck mechanic for seized or rusted hardware works fantastic. -of course start with a dousing of rust penetrant -start to loosen bolt/nut till it BARELY just loosens -tighten the bolt/nut back up -rinse and repeat till it is removed Basically treating it like a tap so to say, in a little then back out, in a little then back out. If it still doesn't work, use the same technique with a bit of heat persuasion. Can't wait to see these videos as it is revelant to my 24v mk4 gti. Kind of dreading doing my clutch on the garage floor😪
In the middle of doing the exact same thing on my 1996 Mk3 Cabby, it has been converted to AWD ( syncro, O2C transmission) and an OBD2 VR6. It's such a pain, trans needs a new 2nd gear synchronizer and the engine needs to be inspected for chains and lots of other things. Thanks for documenting all this Mr. Humble!
@@HumbleMechanic Thanks, I did not build it. It was built in 1999 by Denon Performance and Momentum Motorsports and was in VW Power the same year. Then it had a VR6 built to 3.1L of displacement, Shrick VSR manifold and a bunch of Jamex stuff. I still have the ugly heavy 17" Jamex wheels on it. I'll be documenting some of it on my terrible channel but the links following are from the channel my buddy and I had started (he has since past away). A short video of the cabby th-cam.com/video/LLZ7-maXuYs/w-d-xo.html and something you may find funny th-cam.com/video/Lka6javkTGA/w-d-xo.html Cheers, I have worked at VW and Mercedes dealerships and I'm glad your out doing your own thing brother!
So to recap: new, pro level videographer; surprise win with exhaust bolts; goldilocks intake manifold bolts; awesome shop space; cowl critters (been there); 20 minute engine removal😁. Really looking forward to the next one!
Want to know what I think about the guest camera work? I thought, "Whoa, did Charles hire someone or did his wife help or- THE KIDDO???" I agree with you Charles, professional work from the young one!!
This is where the fun begins... Also I hate those windshield wiper arms, I broke a windshield in frustration my first time. Now I make sure I apply a little anti-seize before putting it back on and it never gets stuck.
Nice, Charles! I was fortunate to come by a one owner 1990 BMW 535i with all of the work documented. This is a great look at all of the potential issues involved in diving into a rebuild. I love the procedure tips and the detailed explanation of the progress. I, mean, really, this is good and applies to many other cars regarding technique. Well done! :)
great upload and great little helper. Love the production quality and the camera ring you had in background. So much easier doing this with a lift and engine hoist than at home with floor jack and engine dolly. Cheers and Regards sire.
As always Charles, another great video. I will be following every step. Thanks for listing the tools that you use and where to get them. It is helping me build my own shop. The whole car needs to be dipped in WD-40. Ha ha. I hope VW is watching and takes action with their rusting parts. Nickle, Stainless, Zinc, and Titanium are our friends.
I love you gonna keep watching, I removed my mk4 front end assembly after removing those fan relays etc and took the front end off complete with the condenser radiator and fan assembly with the front clip, didn't know that the first time, just want people to know that you can take off the whole front clip with everything out in one shot, I am not an expert just saying, you know a lot more than me, and I love you
I always wanted the six speed manual golf vr6, but my wife doesn’t drive a stick. The Vr6 with the 6 speed is a blast to drive. Looking forward to this build.
I've done subframe, struts, coils, shocks, brakes, tandem pump, rotors, pads, and other miscellaneous things in my apartment garage but, NO way would I attempt a motor in my mk4 TDI golf.
I love it when you work on an old car and you find a part where the previous mechanic has either not had the right tool or a bolts broken and you then decipher their mind set on how they came to zip tie it all back together. Saying that i removed a brake disc using an angle grinder once to cut the stay nut out and ended up cutting the hub as well 🙈
Charles you are an amazing technician and an amazing person. Props for the great videos 👍🏽 do you have any videos about the vw 1.8T 20v engine and their common problems?
Living the south as you do (and thus unaccustomed to dealing with rusted cars), this is giving me cold sweats. Never, ever buying a car that lived up north... Also, I think this is the first time I've ever seen you without a hat. You look 10 years younger without it!
@@HumbleMechanic Mk4 R's are worth a stupid amount of money right now, so you definitely won't lose money on it even factoring repair costs (well, depending on how you value your labor time), and you'll probably make a good bit once you fix it up and sell it sometime down the road... But sometimes I wonder if you can really put a price tag on sanity, hahaha. Dealing with rust and rot seems like one of the most soul-sucking facets of mechanical work/restoration.
Awsome upload thankyou Just a quick question if you don't mind. Does the cv off the mk3 golf vr6 manual fit the automatic ? I am struggling to get hold of some driveshafts for the automatic mk3 golf vr6 1995
I like the glove trick! Personally I usually use either saran wrap or a glove whatever I have laying around, I mean there’s been a few times I’ve used plastic grocery bags & zip ties lol whatever works right. But more often saran wrap these days due to gloves being semi scarce and sometimes a little more pricey when you do find them. Can’t beat 300 sq. ft. of saran wrap for $3 lol. But either way anything is far better then nothing, I hate cleaning up rusty coolant yuck mess off my floor. Also I wrap connectors too if there going to stay open for a little while since I live in an area where any metal left unprotected will absolutely corrode, pretty quickly. Just saves me from having electrical connection issues when the project does go back together.
Love the videos and the tip about using a glove for hoses was awesome. However, could you improve this tip further by cutting off each finger etc and putting these over a hose each to get 5 uses out of a single glove?
Great video Charles. Well documented. I'm sure you'll make an episode tackling those rusted bolts with some different techniques to extract them - all us technicians "enjoy" that part of the job! Breaking open the F up drawer! On another note, when will we see you and Aaron Kauffman in the same shop on a project?? Hahaha.
The rust on this car is nothing compared to the MK2 Miata I used to own, on that car some of the fasteners didn't even look like fasteners anymore and I was seriously concerned about going underneath without tripling up on axle stands. Very interesting video Charles, the kiddo did great
Hi Charles, thanks for all these great videos. A bit off-topic for you but I am doing a head job on my 2008 Passat (T2.0l.)The car has approx 135 000 miles on the odo. I can't believe how much carbon is has built up on the intake and valves! My question is simply: Would you install an oil catch can ?
That's really awesome Charles, thank you for sharing, although I think you may be copying my moves brother. I've just done the same time my A4, B6 3.0, except the engine is still in the Chassis.
glad to see you involving your kid in this kind of stuff. filming and editing is a pretty good skill set to have. on top of the mechanical wizardry that you probably transferred to her. Will you ever do an Audi Wagon build ? :D
Great videoCharles. I was hoping for a supercharger, but its your car Charles. Have you put any more thoughts into the coilovers? Cnt wait for the coilovers and brakes
i have an 08 mk5 with dsg and i was thinking i could drop the engine and trans out the bottom without taking the front end off? i am able to get the radiator out the bottom first, i have had the sub frame off and the clutch has been replaced about 2 years ago thru the dealer along with i have replaced the drive shaft so ive had the down pipes off to.. ive never pulled the motor but its time for a timing chain, water pump and the rest of the bits to freshen it up so i was thinking it would be better to pull it.. do you think pulling for a timing chain and the extra is wise and is dropping it straight out the bottom possible? i do have a lift and hydraulic table. thanks, enjoying the content, its basically the same as my car... but a little different under the hood layout.
Hey Charles great video. I've followed every R32 video you've posted. I'll be doing chains and rear main seal soon so this really helps as I want to pull the engine to do it. My concern is the prop shaft. Was it already damaged or was it damaged when you pulled the engine? I don't need a big expense of replacing the shaft so any tips are appreciated.
Hey Humblemechanic, I've got a 2004 Dodge Intrepid SXT. I'm having a problem with getting the nut off of the power wire on the starter. The mounting bolts for it came out easily, however the power wire is the only the giving me problems. Their isn't alot of room to get a breaker bar in there. Plus the nut has started to strip. What do you suggest I should do about it? Everything else on the car is pretty much okay and I only have to buy a few parts for it.
@@austinrivers9938 Thanks! I just had my mechanic replace it. Seems like he did the same thing you were talking about. It turns out that the Positive jump post was really corroded. After I cleaned it the car starts up without a problem.
Great video looking for too the strip down and looking forward seeing the turbo set up, are you going twin turbo single? Question is it possible to take the engine out the top rather than out the bottom or have to come straight out the front as I don't have a lift like you, and an a small garage with a classic Mini So be doing the job outside and I have chains too to and a slightly noisy transfer box to look at in about 15 20k time thanks Mark.
@@HumbleMechanic thanks bud out the front it is, I normal work on classic minis and have the engine and box out and on the stand on one of them in couple of hours lol 😆
I'd help you in a heartbeat...love mid-night projects. I have particular love for VW but work, I do enjoy...mosquito bites and all. Nothing like burning midnight oil on a passion.
Two things I learned. 1) I learn best from my mistakes, and 2) pulling an engine in this car only takes 20 minutes. 😂 If we go with my lifted race car idea, most of that won’t go back on. The parts shelf is a brilliant idea. Thanks! ~Dave
Does dismantling an engine and transmission with gear engaged affect either of the two? The job was to replace the main seal (between engine and gearbox). It's still dismantled. The engine is not at TDC, new seal is yet to be installed. It's said to replace the seal when engine is at TDC. How to avoid any damage? Kindly respond soon. Engine - VW 1.6 MPI
I said it last time, I will say it again:
This is my favorite car of all times, that VR6 engine is heavenly. I will definitely need this video when I start working on mine, in the near future.
Thanks a lot, again, Charles.

Kido did an excellent job. Kudos to her.
nothing like a bit of free labour , great job though .

Sean Moore well aren’t you a treat
As a self taught engine rebuilder, I love these kinds of videos. I’m always trying to pick up tips wherever I can. First engine I rebuilt was an Alfa Romeo 147 & I’ve never looked back.
Excellent mate
A handy trick for the refrigeration pipes , compressor and anything else etc , is to put those expanding ear plugs in them to stop contamination on the bench . Its super cheap and super quick idea !
Hi Charles,
I love the point on oiling fasteners before undoing them.
When a corroded fastener picks up and smears metal around it's done.
Oiling fasteners before undoing them prevents 99% of these accidents.
And again, using quality tools properly is correctly emphasized.
I like, looking forward to the rest of this build.

Great vídeo! The help of the tiny humble mechanic makes it all better ☺️ reminds me of helping out my father around the shop
Thank you!!! Putting this on in the shop for all the guys on lunch break!
A tip I learned from a diesel truck mechanic for seized or rusted hardware works fantastic.
-of course start with a dousing of rust penetrant
-start to loosen bolt/nut till it BARELY just loosens
-tighten the bolt/nut back up
-rinse and repeat till it is removed
Basically treating it like a tap so to say, in a little then back out, in a little then back out. If it still doesn't work, use the same technique with a bit of heat persuasion.
Can't wait to see these videos as it is revelant to my 24v mk4 gti. Kind of dreading doing my clutch on the garage floor😪
That’s solid advice. I do the same thing
I just pulled a 12v vr6 from a junkyard because mine spun a rod bearing. I cant wait for the tear down video!
Very satisfying to get it all back together knowing you've addressed all the rust, leaves, critters, and poor workmanship. Thanks for sharing.
Ahhhh....memories of being a VW mechanic. Those Allen and triple square fastners can be a real pain at times.
Stoked to see all this dude! I got a lot of learning to do 🤓
In the middle of doing the exact same thing on my 1996 Mk3 Cabby, it has been converted to AWD ( syncro, O2C transmission) and an OBD2 VR6.

Fantastico, little woman taking after Dad on the camera, fair play, glove a great idea Charles:):)
Man im sooooo excited for this build, that said 100% right choice on the blue R32 for OEM+, that cars a beauty!
Thanks!!! I’m super excited too
Learn something new every time I watch your videos. Great stuff!
I love that Neil Fallon is a VW guy. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Charles for the great VW content. Looking forward to seeing where this festy R32 goes.
Good Job to your Girl!
Thanks Charles I enjoy your Engine Tech! 👍
Kiddo nailed the filming Charles!!😎😎😎🤘🏻🤘🏻🤙🏼
This is going to be Awesum following this great project..bring it on
Wow, that thing is a fright pig! (still better than the first two VW's I owned where you could watch the ground go by through the floor...
Doing this in an apartment garage is gonna be a pain.
Yep. And so worth it

Travis bennett funny enough, VW engines are pretty easy to pull
Man, I love this type of videos. Awesome!
Amazing stuff charles , can't wait for the vr6 teardown...👍😎
Great video! Perfect info for when i do my R32 rebuild.
Looking foward for the complete teardown, i'm currently removing a 2.0 ABA from my mk3 and it would be nice learning some tips and tricks from a pro!

cant wait second video of engine exploring :D great job man keep it up !!!
Another great fluid stoppage option is to use tire valve stems on the lines. I like how they are tapered and can fit a virity of line size's
Exciting update! Makes me excited for the future. Are you going for big power with this build?
Hey Charles great video. I've followed every R32 video you've posted.

Based on the lack of clean marking it was like that before. You can take just the trans out just be careful
