I don't know if you know the man who started T.Hoff Charles but he is one really cool, nice, old hot rodder. He is an air cooled vw head and he has quite the collection of other cool stuff. He has a field full of old air cooled VWs and has built some pretty wild engines in his day!
Tip: it's a great idea to change those oil cooler seals on all these engines every 100k miles or so. Twice, I've had those seals get hard and crack and lose a lot of oil. The first time cost me an engine in my Audi 4000.
Your videos are awesome. I really like how you teach technique and different methods for repair using new products. I definitely learn something new about Volkswagen cars every time i see a new video. Thank you for all of your hard work with this channel.
Interesting to hear about the common failures of those crank sensors! My VR6's crank sensor died several years back, actually before I owned the car (used to be a customer car!). The harness was fine; the sensor had just started going open-circuit. I could still get a signal off it on the scope, but it was 10 ohms over the high side of the published acceptable range. Probably one of my most iffy calls on a part.
I was able to get fairly deep into a vr6 a couple years ago thanks to those damn timing chain guides...of course while in the vehicle but man that is a sweet motor in a GTI :)
These motors seem to be pretty sturdy haha enough for me to run my boost expansion starter pack 😂
I don't know how you can keep up. I only do UA-cam and can barely stay with the videos. Since I don't own a German car I'll skip ahead but I wanted to say "Well done" on all you work.
+wyattoneable thank you! It's tough but i truly love doing it. I'll have a shorter more clean version of the video out soon. One with the big boy camera lol
So many people tuned in to the live feed, bad ass charles
+andres lopez right. It's reached over 1.1 million people. I can't comprehend that
I heard someone asked about slicing hoses off.
I try to avoid slicing hoses as if you cut to deep you can score the pipe connector and that can lead to problems down the road.
It was messing with my brain watching you turn bolts to the right to undo them! Lol stupid camera flip
+The Savage Garage Hahahha right! I figured out how to fix that for parts 2 and 3.
THANK YOU ! This was almost unwatchable backwards, I'm barely familiar with these engines and seeing everything in reverse is quite confusing.
hey charles nice video as usual i learn something everytime i watch one of you videos . As a technician its nice to know im not the only one who values great work!
Thanks for the videos Charles
enjoyed the live feed yesterday very well done
+Samuel Harper thanks for hanging with us!
pretty cool videos man more engine teardown & rebuilds haha;p don't see a lot of that.
Charles.. it's ok.. you go ahead n ramble.. we'll listen.
+gbowne1 Hahahha it's what I do best.
I think by the time I would be done this motor would push more air in than out 😂😂😂
Excuse me sr I have a question I have a 2003 Jetta gli vr6 manual transmission that I run it without oil and it’s possible to use engine from Jetta automatic vr6 Thank you so much
how hard would it be to turn a VR6 into a stroker
What I would like to know is where I can get one of the blue and white VW hat's like the one you have?
+don198769 the one with the mesh back, not the one I'm wearing now?
It was a special run VW did. They aren't available any more. Which is to bad they are great
once I'm done with my engine build... let's race ! lol
+The mech a nic I'm in!
Hey there humble mechanic, I'm very curious how does an oil cooler fail? Isn't just the seals that fail?
+PalomarWater it leaks internally and causes oil to get into the coolant.
HumbleMechanic thanks for the reply, and thanks for these great instructional videos. Keep it up buddy.
Eh.. it'll get better with time. Good job!
I'd like to see videos of Audi Q7 repair. Suspension in particular. Thanks.
I live just outside of Raleigh too! Actually getting ready to rebuild a 24v vr6 here shortly and good recommendations as far as machine shops near us??
I used T-Hoff for just about every machine shop build here
HumbleMechanic awesome thanks for the response!
Love da channel humble mechanic... hope to see u at wookies 23
You for sure will!!!!!
Turboed or not it makes a nice sound I’d keep it that way 😂😂😂
Nice videos bro...vr6 4life
Everyone should have a can of OA-OW!
lol, you like the tuna boats!
Can someone link me to the time where he takes apart the head gaskets? Cant tell which part it's in.
+Alex Shindigg this is just the bottom end.
The head removal is this video.

Right on man, thanks for the quick response! Loving your videos
Rock on , thank you!
Why is the video mirrored?
+Peter Riis it's recorded with my IPhone on "selfie mode". I did that for FB live so I can see when people ask questions. I didn't even think to switch it in post. Part 2 and 3 are fixed.
HumbleMechanic
Thanks. I didn't know selfie mode mirrored the image.
subscribed because of the beard and knowledge. nice video.
+aaron j hahah thanks!
Cleaning parts??? CRC Parts cleaner... CRC #05067 5 Gal. and oven cleaner.
hey man. I know this has been an issue on other channels. but I was unsubscribed automatically by UA-cam. I had to resubscribe. seems to be happening with alot of channels.
+Nikita Wilcox yeah it's kinda F-d. I was subscribed to channels I've never seen.
I'll mention it in a video for sure.
Thanks for the heads up.
HumbleMechanic check out thatdudeinblue's most recent video. he talks about the future of UA-cam channels that aren't just viral videos. seems they are making more money on 20 second viral videos.
+Nikita Wilcox I watched it. He's right about them giving priority to big TV type shows.
We just have to find a way to win in 2017.
I can't stand mirror image.
+Cristobal Auladell yeah sorry about that. I fixed it for part 2 and 3
respect bro.
