What Is So Special About A VR-6 Engine?

The VR-6 engine is a mysterious one and hides some clever engineering inside itself. There are most definitely many interesting aspects about it and it is a shame that it was such an engineering revolution as it looked to be from first sight.

The vr6 is one of the best engine noises of all time in my opinion. Also you may not know as you didn't mention in the video but Mercedes Benz also used a 2.8 VR6 engine in the early Vito vans best sounding van ever 😜

[ahhbmm]

I've owned an mk4 vr6 hatch for 18 years basically for the sole reason of how it sounds. NEVER EVER GETS OLD.

[ivangf]

As an owner of a Golf VR5, I can say the sound of this engine is just amazing, I honestly love it 😍

[rosemaryfriedwa]

Is it only me or the VR6 really sounds crispier than regular inline 6?

[hoost]

The VR6 is one of the best sounding engines ever. Just wish they weren't so involved to build up.

[harakiri]

And here I was, thinking I knew every variant of the VR6 engine. Thanks again for this great educational video. Now excuse me, I have to get me a forklift.

[ateliertalonpointe]

The fact they fitted a VR6 into a forklift fascinates me

[krudmuphinstudioz]

I owned a Fulvia for a few years and had a lot of trouble explaining the engine layout to people. But if I referred to the engine as "basically a Volkswagen VR6 with 4 cylinders" the suddenly knew what it meant.

[audriusbaranauskas]

Had a 1993 mk3 VW golf VR6 2.8 174hp – great engine, fast for it’s time, had great engine sound and was quite fuel efficient when driven reasonably. A friend of mine had a 2000 VW Passat vr5 2.3L 150hp – that was crap – neither fast nor fuel efficient. Great video as always!

[haxsys]

Been driving Volkwagen since 1989 and the R32 has become my favorite. My first was a mk1 GTI and I can still remember that car surprised a LOT of people off the line, or rolling down the highway. My Mk5 R32 gets much more of the same reaction. The VR6 engine paired up with a DSG is just an absolute kick in the pants to drive. It's insane what output you can get from a VR6 with any level of modification, and yes, the wookie sound is quite iconic.

[fredericr.]

A huge thank you for your video: by far the best, most complete about the VR6. I rode in GOLF III VR6 from the age of 28 to the age of 39: a wonderful car in more ways than one, thanks to this engine. I thought I knew his story very well but you have -again- impressed me! The most fun is the forklift truck from LINDE. I wish your channel a long life!

[allosaurusfragilis]

We've had two cars with vr6 engines..a golf r32 for about 12 years...no engine issues and a passat r36 which I've had about 6 years and no engine issues.
They both averaged about 28 mpg and sounded great. I'm hoping to keep the passat for another 5 years, mainly because of that engine, i think. Favourite engines of all cars I've had.

[S.R.Productions]

The vr6 3.2l also came in the audi tt mk1(2003-2006) making 247bhp that was paired with a DSG transmission. Also the vr6 3.2l came in the audi tt mk2(2006-2014) which had the same horsepower number, but came with a option 6 speed transmission.
I seen the audi a3 was mentioned, but I wanted to feel included too.

[CoupableDetout]

Let's go to learn some very interesting things ☺️

[Nafeels]

W engines by VW were essentially two VR engines joined at an angle. I believe the W8 in the Passat had a 72 degree V angle.

[seroqu]

Had a 2000 GTI VR6, got it chipped for 2 step and gosh damn that thing sounded crazy. Hands down best sounding engine I've ever heard. Miss that car but was too expensive to fix.

[daniels]

I love how versatile this engine is too. It can be put in a little hatchback or my big Atlas and run exceptionally well, sound great, and have good reliability.

[robertdavis]

Thanks for explaining this engine! I just recent bought a B7 Passat with the VR6 and every noise that comes out of it is music to my ears, I knew a little bit about it but this further explained it

[roshangomez]

The first car I bought when I was in Dubai was a mk4 V6 4 motion with a vr6 engine, felt very special and sounded great

[wheelfeel]

I had a 12v vr6 mk4 Jetta loved that car beautiful sound
