I FINALLY TEARDOWN A VR6! Volkswagen's CRAZY Engine Idea From The 90's Was A HUGE SUCCESS!

THE MOST REQUESTED ENGINE TO DATE IS FINALLY HERE! So many comments and requests for a Volkswagen VR6 engine over the last 3+ years and I'm proud to say I can finally deliver!
This is a 12-valve Vr6 out of an early MK4 Jetta or Golf. This is known as the AFP code engine. They make roughly 175hp which isn't bad for its 2.8L of displacement. The packaging of the VR6 really shines, as its VERY compact, VERY simple and relatively easy to service considering it was the first of its kind. This particular engine was of unknown origin, I didn't get a VIN, or any details on the car it was from. I don't know miles or why it was no longer in the car it was installed in. Lets tear it completely down and see what's wrong with it and how these engines are put together!
 Why am I doing this? My name is Eric and I own Importapart. A full service auto dismantler. Part of our model includes dismantling blown up, failed and otherwise bad engines to salvage the good parts. We do not rebuild engines, merely supply parts to those who do!

  I know a few of you have owned VW's. I've drove a few but never owned one.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
I drove one once (not counting a trike). But the engine wasn't anything like this one. Still, interesting, thanks!

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
