Thank you so much
Awesome video. The best of both worlds the sound of the vr6 and the look of the mk2 platform..
My favorite swap.
Thanks for making this videos.
Subscribed! I’ve always wanted to swap a VR into an Mk1 or mk2 rabbit/golf. Looking forward to watching your progress with this build.
Hello Jake, in the Netherlands was the motor the 16V 1800cc an succes too build this motor in the Golf 1. The Golf 2 my Brother building an VR6 in the Golf 1. A lot of pleasure riding with this motor.
You are using a lot of modern modificaties For my Brother was important the breaks. This was in 1985 till 1990. It was in the Netherlands an hype!
Jake i looking forward For more UA-cam films. Good luck!!
What an awesome video dude! These are the sort of tutorials that really help people out 👍🏼 Makes me want to buy another mk2 so I can do a VR swap!
Thank you. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Appreciate it 🙌
you xplain in your way of the people are longer in the vw World they will understand. i like the way you xplain
Dang, I got a 16v 2.0L project going on, but now I want VR6 beast mode! No one has done this, videos on VR6 / MK2 swaps - thank you!
I knew It's going to be a hard swap, it took me right about 2 months starting from getting the engine, wiring, fuel tank, running gear out from the MK3 VR6, then cleaning and painting and buying new parts engine and running gear wise, then started to tear apart the MK2, old stuff out.. new stuff in, figuring out the wiring because I sticked with the CE1, getting the immobilizer written off and fixing small leaks.
Awesome video man. Hope to see more from the build
As someone about to embark on the MK2 VR6. 2.8 swap in my ‘89 Jetta coupe, I appreciate the info! 👍
Glad the vids have helped
Thanks Jake for the tutorial ..now I have to go get a mk3 rear cross member.
Keep up the fantastic work
thx for the video man, respect from germany
I just love the Mark 2 Dashes
Great video, thanks for keeping the Mk2 forum going. I've had at least one Mk2 in my life since May of 2000. I love these things and I'm glad you do too. I also have a good idea of the exorbitant amount of time you spent editing/producing this video.
My Criticism is that you need to upgrade the brakes. Those knuckles are for the smallest possible mk2 brakes (9.4"), which are not sufficient for any kind of performance use. My stripped out 8v road race car could fade and produce smoke from the 11" Corrado G60 front brakes.
I really appreciate your comment even the criticism or good advice as I would call it.
direct and concise
Awesome video dude, look forward to watching the rest and seeing your build. Really helpful info as I'm going down the same route with my mk2 👌🏼
Peter Heath thanks for commenting good to know people are getting something out of these vids.
Inspirational, thank you 👍👍👍
Thank you. This is an amazing compilation!
Ok here is my situation. I picked up a 3.2L engine with wireharness, and ecu for a trade of my 16V head and $400. It came from a Audi A3 8P. Last year I brought a 02M Transmission with axels and everything. I was going to put it into my mk4 1.8T. The shop told me that the transmission was from a 24V VR6!!! I originally was going to put a 5sp transmission on the 3.2L but now decided to use the 02M since it’s rebuilt, cleaned, and won’t have to worry about purchasing another 02J.
Liked and subbed. Gonna binge the rest
Appreciate it. Thanks for the sub
Awesome video bro very helpful smashin that like
Great video, please keep the channel going
Thanks for the support
Thank you! Love these sort of videos.
Great vid. Deserves more views.
appreciate it. I think it will pick up it's only been on about two months.
Lot of useful info bro, thanks a lot
Good video!!! Very helpful for any mk2 swap
Good job, bro! For brakes i think better use 280 or 288 mm brakes from golf mk3/passat 35i.
loving all you videos been trying to get a vr6 r32 swap in mk1 jetta 1983
this video is spot on thank you
As a fellow MK2 owner I appreciate this vid . Even tho my 20V swap has been done for a while I still appreciate the time and effort put into it . Thanks again
Thank you for this if i decide to do my vr6 swap ill try and video it step by step
Nice work! Can't wait for the next video!
(@Runs on vwvortex)
My mk2 is 16v and I plan to do the swap vr6!
Wish these videos existed 12 yrs ago
Same
great video, well done
Thank you. Really appreciate it
Great video.👍👍
I need some guidance to do it to my 1990 G60 corrado...R32 or 1.8t... what's cheaper 🤔
Good info thanks
Hey are those rear engine mount and bracket that goes with starter from tdi mk3 or mk4??
I want to use the Fabless swap kit for mines
when you say mk3 subframe is that from a Passat as well?
Thanks!
Hey Jake, nice videos man.
Thanks for the information,
I’m planning to do a vr6 swap to my b2 Passat… do you know if all the mounts, subframe etc etc.. match the mk2 golf ?? Any light on where I can look? Can you please head me In The right direction?
not sure on the b2 passat.
Love your video's, I've watched the whole vr6 24v conversion and 1.8t conversion but net to ask a question. Withe the 1.8t you are using mk3 tdi engine brakets but with the vr6 are you using normal vr6 brakets or g60 engine brakets?
Good question. I cant remember, but I think they were regular vr6 brackets.
@@JakeRawSon okay good that is what i have but down here in South Africa we didn't have the b4 Passat so I'm just struggling to find a front crossmember from the vr6 passat.
excellent video friend. I am very new to this and have a question. To put a vr6 to a mk2 it is necessary to change transmission?
Mk3 or mk4 trans will work
What did you do about the engine mount in the back(the one to the left).
Hi there bro i have a very big problem! how do you can attach/join the mk2 axle shaft/transmision to the VR6 gearbox? cause those axles are like 90mm and the vr6 fits only 100mm.. can u help me please?
I think Some of the early mk2 have 90mm. Most I've seen have the 100mm.
@@JakeRawSon i know which is the problem the mk2 CL class have the 90mm, all the gti and above the 100mm, so i suposse your mk2 was Gti, Im getting the axles from a gti 16v ^^
the same motor mounts fits in the vr6?
Two 👍👍 up for a great video man, very informative. I've had my MK2 since day 1 but have been out of the loop for some time so I have some questions. What made you choose the Mk4 linkage? Is the throw shorter or does it just shift smoother and/or is there some other benefit? Also, you mentioned you are using the stock mk2 A-arms so the wheels will remain at a stock width. Would that also be true using the tubular A-arms? Last question for now I think... lol You mentioned you will be swapping out the gas tank for a MK3, I haven't gone through all your videos yet to see if you did this already but I would also like to do this swap. Do we need Mk3 straps if our MK2 straps are good? Also, keep up the good work man 👍
To me the MK4 linkage feels way better. And then there's the all might SIGMA upgrade. 🙌
Yes the tubular arms stay stock width. Yes the mk3 gas tank will need mk3 straps. In this vid

Thanks for watching
Please can you give a measurement of home much you cut down the rear engine mount by ?
Steven Harper 3/4 off the rear passenger mount for a 24v.
12v I don’t think you need to
Hey Jake, I'm doing my 12 valve VR6 swap iny mk2 Jetta,but I can't figure out where the connector for the signal in the mk3 cluster goes to... please help
Message Jeremy @rabbit_gti he knows 12v vr6 stuff
@@JakeRawSon never mind I got it...the ECU that I'm using not working the tach,but I switched it,and it works.
Thanks man.
I have a question i have the VR K frame with the mk2 A arms what sway bar did you use? Because in the video and the link of the list you gave didn’t say anything about the sway bar
Mk2
Thank you jake
Put some corrado G60 front bearing carriers in there,. You're going to need those bigger brakes.
Might be a dumb question but can you do this swap with an auto or is it manual only?
hey so its safe to say if i pick up mk3 passat or jetta smashed VR6 it should be a pretty straight forward swap?? awesome video!
Pretty much.
Do you have any more b4 passat parts for sale. Please advise
Everything I have for sale is on my Ebay account
Hey im doing a vr6 AFP 12v swap
What kind of axles u used and how long, cause i've heard u must shorten the axles lenght . Im going for golf mk3 spindles 5x100 for easier upgrade on front brakes
If you use stock mk2 a-arms use stock axles. Mk3 a-arms use mk3 axles I think
@@JakeRawSon ty for the fast reply i very like ur vr6 swap vidz .im using k frame from mk3 a arms from mk2 i wanna use golf mk3 5x100 spindels i got both stock mk2 axles from last engine and both axles from the jetta 2002 Afp VR6 what should i do. And does the axles need shortening
@@JakeRawSon i want to do full golfmk4 swap to mk2 .. 312mm fr brakes 256mm rear breaks golf.full mk4 harness mk4 seats mk4 dash
Who did you have do the immobilizer defeat for your mk4 ecu? I’m in the process of swapping a mk4 12v in my 91 Jetta. I want to get sai delete, and cat delete as well. Just curious to see what route you went when it come to the mk4 ecu stuff.
I had to buy an ecu with everything deleted. Yes I deleted anything you could too
Jake RawSon okay thanks! What company did you end up going with?
good afternoon! I have a question for you! Could you help me please, I have a transmission of vr6 mk3! My question is if I can install a 5 speed vw GTI mk4 shift tower to my Transmission mk3 vr6?
yes
ua-cam.com/video/70vb28NkCfw/v-deo.html
good night brother ! Sorry, I have a question! What did you modify to the a / c box and for what? Do you think that I can continue using the original a / c system with the swap vr6 compressor?
I just redid the doors on it so heat would go where I wanted it to.
There’s no room for the ac so I’ll be switching mine to a on ac box at some point.
Hey Jake , how much did you get the 24v vr6 for?....
Ecu, pedal and 90k engine $1500
For the subframe, is it a Passat one? Or do you need a nine Passat one cause I have the Passat one and it’s not lining up
you need a mk3 one
Jake RawSon ok I gotchua. Sorry I just realized my spelling was all messed up in the last comment. I think the one I was going to use is a b4 subframe, that’s why it didn’t fit right. Thank you! Much appreciated.
Hey Man idk if you know but is this the same concept as swapping a vr6 into mk1? I'm wondering because that is the plan i have for my mk1 rabbit
No mk1 is way different
@@JakeRawSon do you have any info on how i can get started
dooh i didn't know you could use a mk4 brake fluid reservoir on a mk2 master. abs was standard equipment in mk3/b3/b4 so you can't really find any of the brake/hydro clutch stuff at the junk yard. But there are plenty of mk4's in the junkyard :( So i just bought a used mk3 one in Poland but well at least it was cheaper than a new mk4 one and comes with a master
Hey Jake did you change the fuse box?
Gary Walker no mine was already ce2
@@JakeRawSon not really familiar with what the ce2 means
How much did you take off the motor mount?
3/4 of an inch
What swaybar did you use? Because i have the same setup you are using?
Hey bro! this is helping me a lot with my Jetta mk2 VR6 swap , but i need help with one thing, can i follow this material list and the steps for the VR6 MARK 3 VERSION?
Yes everything’s the same with the mk3 vr6 12v. The only thing I don’t think you need to do it cut down any motor mounts.
Thanks for the comment . So Glad this video is helping you
@@JakeRawSon ^^ that is perfect, Jetta and golf are the same so im trying to do exactly as you, probably I Need to cut the left bottom motor mount like you did it. I Need help with two things if you Don't mind. The first is about your stock motor. IT was the g60 maybe or any GTI 1.8? Cause I have 1.8 carburator engine. I think g60 is very diferent to mine, maybe is that the reason you Can fit the vr6 with most of mk2 parts. Maybe I can not. The second problem is about power Steering, you Are not mounting right? In that case how did you inhibit/remove the pw pulley from the engine? Thanks for the fast answer^^ and sorry about my English hehe
Your english is fine. Yes my stock motor was the 1.8. And in this video i install my steering pump ua-cam.com/video/lILdAnbt3-Q/v-deo.html
Hope this video answers your steering pump question.
Where do you live?
@@JakeRawSon thank you so much for helping me answering ^^ i live in spain hehe you? UK? So is totally required power steering to the VR6 swap?
as I have not seen anything in the list about this... im confused :P
I live around Seattle Wa. A lot of people delete the power steering if it's a show car.
I'm planning on driving this car a lot and it's way easier to drive with power steering.
how did you get the mk2 powered steering pump to work with the vr6
Keep watching, it’s in one of the following vids in that series
my mk2 if the a / c works, I live in san antonio and here we get to 115 F, do you think I can continue using the original a / c system with the vr6 swap compressor?
O man 115 damn ya I’d try and keep that ac. Not sure if it’s possible
Hey man just for clarity, can the swap be done if my mk2 has ce1 without swapping the harness to ce2?
I think you can but there's a lot of wire splicing that needs to be done. From what I've gathered it's easier and cheaper just to swap it to ce2.
How many cm or inches did you cut your rear mount ?
Omar Melendez about 3/4. If you look down in the comments on this video ua-cam.com/video/_flONOQB2nU/v-deo.html I explain it better. Thanks for watching
how did you cut the rear motor mount?
I cut 3\4 off
Doing the swap now. 12v T though :)
O ya dude love the 12v T sound
@@JakeRawSon I love this video. If only I found it 6 months ago lol
What downpipe has everyone been using for the 24v?
Bobby M just the stock one
Where is this link of the list of parts? I can’t seem to find it
