Hey man, very informative so far. But I have a couple more questions as I'm doing a mk4 12v VR6, and need to no, along with the abs delete. How did you delete your EGR and SCi stuff.? Along with that awesome coolant resivior on the back of the engine And a different power steering resivoir. I know a 2000 MK4 12v has a different intake manifold than yours, but if you can point me in the right direction with how you did that stuff and what aftermarket part support I will need to take into consideration. Any help would be awesome VW Vortex can only get me so far, without pictures... Thanks!
Wow its uncanny how close to identical my buddies old mk3 looks to yours. He sold his along time ago. Pretty sure he was even running the same BBS, smoked ecodes, textured flares/ mouldings, etc. How long have you owned this? Where did you pick it up from? Looks good. Can't beat the old AAA!
@@TheVWGarage Nice. Yeah, out here in upstate NY my buddy had one that looked damn near identical. I believe he's sold it awhile back. When he got his it was something like 15 years ago or more. He also had a set of wide staggered Type-A's he would run occasionally. Definitely weird seeing an almost identical car, but it's a small world I guess. Anyways dude, it's a nice ride. Makes me really miss the mk2 gli I built to no end with a screamer of an AAA under the hood. The TDI 5th gear in that car with the Quaife was a must-do mod, and I'd strongly recommend it, as well as a good clutch/ LTWFW and modded or complete shifter box. Really makes driving these cars much better. Thanks for sharing your wire tuck man. Keep it real! 👍😎
Chris Reitz you’ll need to custom fit some hoses. The hardware on the timing cover will work to mount it. Then join the wires for the coolant ball sensor to stop the light on the dash from flashing. Or stick a fuse in it.
@ The WV Garage Had a question about your Rafd control wires, that ran to the unit. How did you wire up the new fans, and what did you do with the old rad control wires on the loom. Did you cut them off, or just hang them up in the fender? Im at this stage right now, and trying to figure out what wires from the rad control i need for the new electric fans from the old rad control wires if any. I am keeping AC, so i need the fans to come on when the AC kick on.
You should get get new short ram intake form sp Performance it’s Pretty ... i run that on my vr6 mk1 ...looks amazing ...what you coolant res did you run ?
Lucid Autowerks it’s the passenger side of a rhd mk3. So both passenger side of right and left hand drive. T-stat housing cover can be found on ECS tuning.

Awesome information thanks for sharing! As far as the coolant reservoir what supplies are needed? I have one on the way

@@TheVWGarage thanks 👍👍
@@TheVWGarage will I need to buy another set of hoses or the ones I have in the car work

Detonate Klubstompers Judy connect the slim fans to the factory fan plug. Just that easy.
@@TheVWGarage Thank you much man!!

Estevan Valdez I’ll be getting an intake soon. I got the tank from Blood and fire fabrication on IG.
I love your wheels.
Beautiful car, where did you get your front sway bar?
Clement Braden forum buy.
@@TheVWGarage right on. Wish I could get my hands on one that looks that tidy. I just bought a 98 golf gl
When a MK3 paint job looks better than my MK6...
it looks like he took good care of that paint its amazing
Is that a smoothed rain tray? It's all about the small details. Where is that cover over the top of the thermostat housing from?
Lucid Autowerks it’s the passenger side of a rhd mk3. So both passenger side of right and left hand drive. T-stat housing cover can be found on ECS tuning.
I have problem get Brake fluid to my front brakes.. but I have breaks in the rear..
Thanks a lot for all the info Sir.
I watching your channel from portugal ! #mk3squad
My Kingdom for a MK3!
hi i'm trying to do the same how did you do the break swap
Why did you go “narrow” mk2 rear beam?
Have you relocated the power steering bottle?
Yes, it’s under the drivers headlight
@@TheVWGarage awesome what about the screen wash bottle sorry for all he questions 😂
Hell yea bro I’m down for some merch
Are these engines that really bad like many ppl says to me? Vr6
Oscar Rivera no. They just need to be maintained like any other. Chains at about 100k and regular oil changes and you’ll be fine.
@@TheVWGarage Thanks for tour feedback. Are vr6 more reliable than 1.8t?
Mk3 and R32 bedt sounding engine ever
Can you be more specific the differences between Mk3 and Mk2 rear beam ?
Baconator T3 12mm narrower on each side. Always you to run wider or lower et wheels.
Thanx grag
