Mk3 Golf Gti 16V Into Vr6 Conversion

Lumpzta · November 3, 2013

So the time come to do my vr6 conversion which was started on the 1st November after 18 hours of hard work (over a period of three day) the vr6 is finally in and running. After start up there was a high pitched squeal coming from the engine so I took the water pump out and found it wasn't in the best of conditions. the plastic blades had also come off so it was time to order a new on.

I took the aux belt off and started the engine again and was running sweet so I knew the problem wasn't coming the engine and was come from the pulley area.

I got the engine 3 weeks ago and gave myself plenty of time to source the few parts that I needed to successfully do this conversion with no hiccups.

parts needed

VR6 throttle cable

Twin fan and rad set up

Clocks which I still need to get

and a few other little bits and bobs
