2002 VW EuroVan VR6 24v Engine Removal

[@gordonfogarty9323]

I'm looking for inlet manifold from a 24v VR6 T4. I have a 12v VR6 that I am converting to manual. 2nd stage of plan is to adopt a R32 engine but think I will need 24v inlet manifold to ease installation / fit. Cheers

Hi Mr. Smith, thanks for sharing such an awesome process. Your video definitely explains a lot more than others and yes it is so happen that you are the only one on KZbin with this particular and specific model of VW content. I enjoyed seeing that everything is possible even with out having a repair manual around and just using everything to learn as you go, so thank you. I did have one question, after you removed the front bumper and got to the radiator parts, what did you ended up doing with the AC condenser and all of its pipes? Did you just moved it out of the way while still being plugged or did you unplugged it releasing any of the pressure before removing the hoses attached to it?. I am unable to see if you just moved it to the side or unplugged it. Thank you again!

Where to put the AC and PS without evacuating the goods inside.

Just added a short to show you where those are. Thanks for the comments.

Nice short! Thanks, makes total sense. A few other questions: What type/size of bolt one needs to undo the driveshafts? Did you had to undo the arms in order to have access to disengage both?. And also, how did the project turned out? Are you still working on the van?@@mrsmithgarage8115

Still working on it. Started Nov 2023, hope to be completed by end of April.
