- Time lapse of my oem+ VR6 Rebuild project from earlier this year.
Video was created solely for entertainment purposes. Inspiration came from watching many videos from @HumbleMechanic. The video documents primarily the engine components and rebuild process, there was a lot of additional work including media blasting, powder coating, chassis and engine bay refresh that was not filmed to keep the video length shorter
Music is from EpidemicSound
You do this for living man I would like to get my 12V refreshed like this some time soon
I unfortunately do not do this for a living, I consider it a hobby. If I had an appropriate size garage to accommodate for doing projects like this I think I would do it more often.
@@vdawg0003 so sick man i have a 2001 mk4 gti and i need to do the timing. i did the water pump ab 2 weeks ago now by myself and that was the first time really digging into a car motor. do you think it would be a good or a bad idea if i were to do it this next winter maybe?
@@jomommafoldin3000 if you have the tools, time and another daily driver, go for it. You'll learn more about the engine this way as well as develop new skills. Use online resources - youtube, forums, facebook groups - no shortage of VR6 content.
Excellent work. However, you made this look like it’s a walk in the park, it more like a crawl through hell
I love my 12V Jetta, such a good motor, its a 2002 sitting at 74k miles rn
This is the dream. Once i graduate university ill hopefully be able to buy a beater and make my gti glx the car of my dreams 🥲
I just finished building mine too. Nice work!!
Really cool. Bet the work really paid off.
What a great video!!! Planning on pulling my motor next year but just to clean it up and do the timing chains. No epic rebuild lol
Nice work, I did a full rebuild on my 12v and it rips! (Added cams and mk4 head gasket)
And I thought rebuilding a Chevy 289 V8 was complicated ! Nice job, from an old wrench spinner. Thanks, RickGTI 🇺🇸🔧
I've worked on a Audi 4.2 V8 before and this seemed like a breeze in comparison, gotta love German engineering
I remember replacing the crack pipe and the oil cooler. Not a fun time. I’ve taken this front end off more then I’d like to lol😂
Wow the transformation is incredible 🔥🔥🔥. also little Levi at 4:49🥰
Nice video man. Head gasket blew on my 12 valve in the spring and really wanna do the same so my pour engine. Ain’t nothing like the sound of a vr6. God bless Amd enjoy
10/10
This is wild man, I’m doing the exact same thing right now. Went brand new on 90% of everything. Painted and powdercoated pretty much all accessories and what not to black or natural aluminum color. Even going back into my t-red gti. I’d share pics on here if I could! How do you like the autotech flywheel? I was going to go back with the oem 18.5 lb but I was looking at that kit.
I have no complaints with the auto tech flywheel, engine revs up a bit quicker now. If you're building for HP, I'd keep the stock flywheel.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Amazing rebuild for a perfect timed design. Do you boost them too?
Thanks, yes people boost these, I'm not there yet 😁
Hi there, Vitaliy! Superb video! Cool job! Can you tell me if i watch normal timing video somewhere? I mean not in so fast tempo - to see all the details. Thanks in advance for any information! Take care
Search up HumbleMechanic, he has all sorts of VR6 specific how-to videos including timing. The 12v is fairly simple to time, just need to buy the alignment tool to lock in the cams.
Good job man, how much time did it take you?
About 3 months, a few hours a day in the evening or when I had time
Very nice video! What are hp numbers with that cams?
Thanks, I'm not too sure on the HP numbers, I have never dyno'd it. Currently running a stage 2 tune with supporting mods so I'd be happy if it was near 200 whp.
Hey mannnn this is EXACTLY the video I been looking for. Please I can never get a straight answer. With all those performance parts your adding, pistons, cams, springs, pulleys etc… does it make a reasonable difference in power while it’s still NA??
Thanks man. The bottom end is stock, I didn't upgrade the pistons, just cleaned them up and replaced rings. Yea I'd say there's definitely a difference with some of those upgrades, however an ecu tune is what takes advantage of the upgrades. I'm running a stage 2 and had that before doing this rebuild and it definitely feels more alive, better throttle response and better power up top. It's by no means significantly faster. If I wanted power, I would have went forced induction, but that wasn't my goal or in my budget. Hope that helps
I know this is quite the ask but do you have a complete list of all the parts it takes to rebuild this I’m trying to rebuild mine and I don’t know where to start :((
I don't have a documented list of parts but when doing a complete engine rebuild, the obvious components to consider are:
-All gaskets and seals
-Timing components
-main and rod bearings
-hardware(TTY bolts)
-piston rings
-lifters
-spark plugs
-clutch
I'm probably missing some, but just to give you an idea. If doing upgraded parts, it obviously adds on to the list; cams and HD springs, flywheel, etc.
Are you running any tune? if so what software do you have?
Running stage 2 tune from BDT - boostdynamictuning.com/
I’m at 190k on my vr6! What would you recommend switching out during an engine overhaul
It depends on what you've already done in the last 100k miles.
If I'm doing an overhaul, I wouldn't cut corners and spend that extra bit of money while you're in there.
-timing chains and components
-all gaskets, seals
-knock sensors, crank and cam position sensors
-spark plugs, ignition wires
-clean valves
-inspect main and rod bearings, replace if needed
-water pump
-inspect cylinder walls, hone if necessary
-inspect piston rings and clearances, replace if needed.
-upgrade cooling system components (crackpipe, thermostat housing, hoses, radiator)
-engine mounts
-general cleaning of oil channels, carbon build etc
Everything rubber or Plastic that is not fresh.
How did you unscrew the exhaust? I also need get out vr6.
If referring to the downpipe - you'll need a long extension to go from underneath the car for like 4 of the bolts. After removing the intake manifold and exhaust manifold heatshield you should be able to have enough clearance to reach over the top to get the other 2 or 3 bolts.
How long did you take to build taht engine in trying to make the same on mine wish me luck
Approximately 3 months
Where’d you get the vr6 engine mount ?
I got the 034motorsport street density mounts from FCPeuro
Hey man, given that you’ve torn down and rebuilt most of an AFP VR6, would you be able to give me a hand diagnosing a sound mine is making? I just can’t quite figure it out. Could I perhaps send a video along with an explanation of what‘s going on to an email or something? Please let me know!
What kind of sound? Can you elaborate a bit more?
@@vdawg0003 The sound is a tapping or rattling noise that comes from only the passenger side of the car (Canadian spec, so passenger side is the front right) or the serpentine belt area of the car. When you cold start the car, it becomes apparent right away as the sound changes with RPM. Once it warms up to operating temperature, the sound disappears completely. I have pulled the valve cover and checked the lifters and cams, no wear at all to indicate a stuck lifter. My power steering pump does squeal pretty loudly under low speed turns, I’ve replaced the serpentine belt tensioner thinking that was the cause but it made no difference. When I pulled the belt off and span each pulley, no issues apart from the alternator pulley which would spin two ways with no issue. As far as I know, being a clutched pulley it should only spin one way and the other shouldn’t. Also, as of summer of 2021 the ac compressor clutch stopped working as well. Timing chains have been done and water pump was replaced at 160k kms, car is at 219k km now. The clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, throw out bearing and shift fork all replaced as well at 190k km.
The sound has been apparent for the last two years, hasn’t impacted the performance of the car at all, it has never overheated, no timing chain/guide noise. I really don’t know what it could be. Whenever I take it to a mechanic, the sound disappears and there’s nothing they can do because they don’t hear it at all.
I own a 12v and it's been rooting for 2 years now. It pains me.
где еще видосы
your engine is a 24V not a 12V no? either way nice video.
12v
Cost to do this?
Roughly 2k, but that factors in subframe, control arms, tools and materials for the job as well.
You can probably do it for alot less if just refreshing top end and bottom end. I had some performance parts in there too, cams, springs, downpipe, high flow cat, engine mounts, etc. It's one of those "while I'm in there" things that have a tendency to be a snowball effect
So many hoses 🤧
Yea mostly coolant hoses, alot of the extra vacuum lines from the SAI were deleted.
