Today we pull the engine and transmission on the R32. Because the car has 200k plus miles, I want to take the engine out of the car, clean the engine bay, and do an engine teardown. This is all very important steps before adding a turbo to the car. #r32 #humblemechanic

I said it last time, I will say it again: This is my favorite car of all times, that VR6 engine is heavenly. I will definitely need this video when I start working on mine, in the near future. Thanks a lot, again, Charles.

A handy trick for the refrigeration pipes , compressor and anything else etc , is to put those expanding ear plugs in them to stop contamination on the bench . Its super cheap and super quick idea !

Hi Charles, I love the point on oiling fasteners before undoing them. When a corroded fastener picks up and smears metal around it's done. Oiling fasteners before undoing them prevents 99% of these accidents. And again, using quality tools properly is correctly emphasized. I like, looking forward to the rest of this build. Best regards, Duncan South Africa

@vdub5818 4 года назад

A tip I learned from a diesel truck mechanic for seized or rusted hardware works fantastic. -of course start with a dousing of rust penetrant -start to loosen bolt/nut till it BARELY just loosens -tighten the bolt/nut back up -rinse and repeat till it is removed Basically treating it like a tap so to say, in a little then back out, in a little then back out. If it still doesn't work, use the same technique with a bit of heat persuasion. Can't wait to see these videos as it is revelant to my 24v mk4 gti. Kind of dreading doing my clutch on the garage floor😪

@HumbleMechanic 4 года назад

That’s solid advice. I do the same thing

@nigel-Rollercam-channel 4 года назад

In the middle of doing the exact same thing on my 1996 Mk3 Cabby, it has been converted to AWD ( syncro, O2C transmission) and an OBD2 VR6. It's such a pain, trans needs a new 2nd gear synchronizer and the engine needs to be inspected for chains and lots of other things. Thanks for documenting all this Mr. Humble!

@HumbleMechanic 4 года назад

Thanks a rad build!

@nigel-Rollercam-channel 4 года назад

@@HumbleMechanic Thanks, I did not build it. It was built in 1999 by Denon Performance and Momentum Motorsports and was in VW Power the same year. Then it had a VR6 built to 3.1L of displacement, Shrick VSR manifold and a bunch of Jamex stuff. I still have the ugly heavy 17" Jamex wheels on it. I'll be documenting some of it on my terrible channel but the links following are from the channel my buddy and I had started (he has since past away). A short video of the cabby ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LLZ7-maXuYs.html and something you may find funny ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Lka6javkTGA.html Cheers, I have worked at VW and Mercedes dealerships and I'm glad your out doing your own thing brother!

I love it when you work on an old car and you find a part where the previous mechanic has either not had the right tool or a bolts broken and you then decipher their mind set on how they came to zip tie it all back together. Saying that i removed a brake disc using an angle grinder once to cut the stay nut out and ended up cutting the hub as well 🙈

Does dismantling an engine and transmission with gear engaged affect either of the two? The job was to replace the main seal (between engine and gearbox). It's still dismantled. The engine is not at TDC, new seal is yet to be installed. It's said to replace the seal when engine is at TDC. How to avoid any damage? Kindly respond soon. Engine - VW 1.6 MPI

Living the south as you do (and thus unaccustomed to dealing with rusted cars), this is giving me cold sweats. Never, ever buying a car that lived up north... Also, I think this is the first time I've ever seen you without a hat. You look 10 years younger without it!

@HumbleMechanic 4 года назад

Yeah I’m no fan of rust. But the deal was too good. Lol

@AdarisTempest 4 года назад

@@HumbleMechanic Mk4 R's are worth a stupid amount of money right now, so you definitely won't lose money on it even factoring repair costs (well, depending on how you value your labor time), and you'll probably make a good bit once you fix it up and sell it sometime down the road... But sometimes I wonder if you can really put a price tag on sanity, hahaha. Dealing with rust and rot seems like one of the most soul-sucking facets of mechanical work/restoration.

@xain91 4 года назад

The rust on this car is nothing compared to the MK2 Miata I used to own, on that car some of the fasteners didn't even look like fasteners anymore and I was seriously concerned about going underneath without tripling up on axle stands. Very interesting video Charles, the kiddo did great

@ianatkinson8464 4 года назад

@kcscustom9759 4 года назад

I like the glove trick! Personally I usually use either saran wrap or a glove whatever I have laying around, I mean there’s been a few times I’ve used plastic grocery bags & zip ties lol whatever works right. But more often saran wrap these days due to gloves being semi scarce and sometimes a little more pricey when you do find them. Can’t beat 300 sq. ft. of saran wrap for $3 lol. But either way anything is far better then nothing, I hate cleaning up rusty coolant yuck mess off my floor. Also I wrap connectors too if there going to stay open for a little while since I live in an area where any metal left unprotected will absolutely corrode, pretty quickly. Just saves me from having electrical connection issues when the project does go back together.

@DGR33 4 года назад

Hey Charles great video. I've followed every R32 video you've posted. I'll be doing chains and rear main seal soon so this really helps as I want to pull the engine to do it. My concern is the prop shaft. Was it already damaged or was it damaged when you pulled the engine? I don't need a big expense of replacing the shaft so any tips are appreciated.

Based on the lack of clean marking it was like that before. You can take just the trans out just be careful

i have an 08 mk5 with dsg and i was thinking i could drop the engine and trans out the bottom without taking the front end off? i am able to get the radiator out the bottom first, i have had the sub frame off and the clutch has been replaced about 2 years ago thru the dealer along with i have replaced the drive shaft so ive had the down pipes off to.. ive never pulled the motor but its time for a timing chain, water pump and the rest of the bits to freshen it up so i was thinking it would be better to pull it.. do you think pulling for a timing chain and the extra is wise and is dropping it straight out the bottom possible? i do have a lift and hydraulic table. thanks, enjoying the content, its basically the same as my car... but a little different under the hood layout.

The mounting bolts for it came out easily, however the power wire is the only the giving me problems. Their isn't alot of room to get a breaker bar in there. Plus the nut has started to strip. What do you suggest I should do about it? Everything else on the car is pretty much okay and I only have to buy a few parts for it.
