Complete VR6 Scirocco Build in 15 minutes

We acquired a stock 1984 Scirocco and embarked on a complete overhaul restoration, including a rebuilt VR6 engine. We began by inspecting the vehicle, identifying rust, drivability issues, paint problems, and more. Next, we removed the old engine from the Scirocco, overcoming challenges caused by rust and old bolts. We then proceeded to tear down the $500 VR6 engine we purchased for the swap. This engine presented a multitude of problems, including jumped timing chains, leak-down issues, and coolant jacket problems, among others. To address these issues, we rebuilt the entire engine with new parts and installed a 5-speed manual transmission in our Scirocco. Installing the engine was a tight fit, requiring careful installation. We also replaced the exhaust, cable shifter, coil-overs, control arms, and any other components that appeared unsafe, including the fuel lines, wheels and tires, brakes, and headlights. Finally, once the restoration was complete, we detailed the car to give its matte paint a glossy new look.

[@AlbertManiscalco]

sounds incredible...just need to lose the bumpers or get the euro spec ones now

[@aidencoder]

I think you should big turbo and RWD it next. Make it pop some wheelies.

[@travislee11]

Probably my favorite series y’all have done!

[@KRAMPUS_G60_16V]

Yes

[@hughgarsehotmail]

Euro spec bumpers and rear wheel spacers would look ace.

[@Keirdo69r]

Exactly this!

[@SilasZoeBell]

I’m always here for more scirocco content. This is how we came to be friends in the first place.

[@fiore_adriano]

I miss my 24v! Forgot how big and silly NA bumpers look. Great video as usual.

[@christopherduda7281]

Literally my DREAM car. 2 minutes ago I was drinking coffee on my patio think about my 1987 scirocco I owned 30 years ago… an how if it had the VR6 engine… I’d still drive it today. I walked in the house and THIS video was at the top of my feed!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@3214mike]

Finally someone who doesn’t dramatically move their whole body to shift 😂👍🏽. Good stuff man

[@HumbleMechanic]

What's funny is, this is all the time the actual swap took.

[@Deutscheautoparts]

@@Deutscheautoparts Thank you!

Love the 80s retro synthwave music.

[@steinworksfabrications2770]

Thank you for saving another scirocco

[@brapperdan9554]

I miss my Sciroccos 😢 Sweet Build. Lots of good memories this vid gave me. Thanks

[@Weissenschenkel]

It sounds *SO GOOD* I'm all in for a video with all Charles's rants during this series. lol Cheers!

[@Kumar-bg6nr]

this was way too entertaining. Enjoyed the entire series so much. Charles and you should collaborate often.

[@Flies2FLL]

I drove an '85 Scirocco turbo in college. That was a seriously well built car! I had hardly any problems with it in 113,000 miles of driving. I only sold it because I found a '92 Corrado SLC that I liked better... I wanted to buy this VR6 car!

[@curvs4me]

Love this swap and love the Sciroccos.

[@billienomates1606]

Now that's what I am talking about, lovely job. I had one of these many years ago and I would love one now with that engine in it.

[@mathiasbermann9460]

German oldschool Car the best greetings from Germany 🇩🇪👋

[@Tigerfire75]

In 15 minutes? Wow that cut out a lot of tears pain and sleepless days.

[@elpuerco6059]

That came out way better than I imagined. That detailer is a witch or something.

[@olafjacobs3754]

The best engine sound ever!

[@rickreflexao]

I have a 2.8 VR6 4Motion MK4 😍

[@jdepape]

The 80’s music nice touch ..:) I miss my Rocco it was a slegato 127 ever made for the Canadian market. Cool car . Cool build boys 👌👌

[@bpturbo27]

What a beautiful car , evryone did such a great job , 👏

[@jillianvanliew]

Amazing to see the amount of work and love that goes into an old, beloved vehicle. Brought me back to the eighties, when I first fell in love with cars!

[@andrewhillman9632]

So awesome, my big sister had the same exact car, color but no V6 First car I drove when I turned 16 and got my license 😎

[@spannersautoandcomputerser1649]

That engine bay after a simple power wash looked amazing and was the most satisfying part of this process for me...

[@markohd1075]

I had a 1984 Scirocco same color, but no moon roof. I miss that car.

[@van-ubbe]

Wohoo nice! European bumpers would be perfect 👍

[@mainzer1115]

I loved every second of this series! Thanks! 🍀

[@jrrome]

0:16 I remember that parts ad from either my mom’s Rabbit or Vanagon book. As a kid I was fascinated by that photo.

[@TheReefa24]

the polishing rounded it off quite nicely. LOVE the build.

[@JamiesGarage1]

Good memories fellas!

[@Deutscheautoparts]

*goodish 😜

[@djcarlitosatl]

Having already seen the whole series, I really enjoyed this “recap” as well. Great job guys! Keep up the AWESOME work and content.

[@aroundomaha]

My favorite build by you guys. Excellent collaboration!

[@RickGTI2019]

As a retired wrench 🔧, I gotta say, you guys really know your shit ! Excellent work. Thanks, RickGTI….. 🌴

[@EFerrorfile]

Man, that sound! 😍 Looks amazing too.

[@dantheman9395]

Had a chance to get one when I was younger. My mom told me I couldn't get it. Should have done it anyway

[@Salmon_Rush_Die]

Same. I have never stopped kicking myself.

[@SH-zv2wy]

Epic series.

[@doca8792]

[@thepub245]

Awesome work, those bumpers though....horrific.

[@dominikspencer3981]

Its so nice to see you all pick one of the worst vr6 engines I have ever seen! You rebuilt it so well!! There is hope!!!

[@dismo82]

[@user-ul4wy2lx2m]

I am so happy with my vr6 in my audi tt mk2 123000 miles and counting lol 😊

[@benjischneider4617]

Excellent! Now just needs Euro bumpers to finish it off

[@SCIROCCO7]

Scirocco mk2 super

[@Patrick-Mckinney]

7:08 if you know then this is a very satisfying moment

[@zanestandlea8368]

Inspired me to do a vr6 swap in my mk1 😁

[@dobbsfam7659]

Please put this baby on bags❤

[@samdemond1]

Love the mk1/mk2 content

[@RGV2300]

It is a dream to me to work in a swap, i have only made the typical engine assemblies, installation and such things, also a gearbox swap (from at to mt), but never this. I need maybe a mig welding machine, and i'll maybe motivate for this kind of work.

[@abdulmuis6991]

Wow mekanik yang sangat luar biasa sukses dan sehat selalu sahabat 🙏👍👍

[@chefluvfood]

Great car just missing the euro spec bumpers 👌

[@Salmon_Rush_Die]

Paul = hero

[@SamuraiCP2020]

God this is masterpiece!!!!

[@SpecialFX99]

You don't even need to have audio to hear Charles say "full of yuck" 2-3 times during the teardown

[@Deutscheautoparts]

It was full of yuck

[@DomZaa]

You really should get the European bumpers, they look way better than the us ones

[@StaticVapour590]

Amazing job

[@Bluecarrr]

What a car! Looks great & fantastic engine choice!

[@seanpenny4580]

What this car REALLY needs is a Zender Z400 widebody kit... and I have one that's new (never installed). Only problem is I'm in Canada :P Well now I either have to do this swap, buy yours, or sell you my Zender widebody. They MUST come together. It only seems appropriate :D

[@user-ml4iw3ne8l]

una obra de arte,saludos.

[@Justin_Saves]

Awesome video! Well done🎉😊

[@MichelleWagner_Wagsbjj]

That car looks so familiar 😊

[@MostDopeGlizzy]

great build, great edit

[@firedustman]

[@remnl]

amazing build but damn i hate those US bumpers. make the car look like a bumper car

[@Weissenschenkel]

That's what happen when politicians get a grip on technical decisions.

[@lucsurmon2623]

Ze genuine sleeper !

[@KRAMPUS_G60_16V]

More of this guys!

[@DG_427]

Needs eurospec bumpers!

[@pokepa]

I love this channel

[@I6N54]

Paul, list the music please. Love what you and Charles do 👍

[@MrJBumer]

[@Manoah.]

If heaven made a sound, this engine would be the sound it made

[@brizax]

82? Half spoiler , I miss my 84 Wolfsburg so bad . Mom sold it when I left for school :( ful neuspeed / koni / etc

[@justindearborn7275]

You should put a hair dryer on that thing next? 👌

[@T_ndhlovunator]

It appears that that Charles and Jamie did all the work 😂

[@Deutscheautoparts]

This video definitely made it look like that!

[@Haderate]

Those US-Spec Bumpers are huuuuge. I mean WTF?

[@bartofilms]

From old and haggard to Full Wookie Mode! Congrats. Why you left one old headlight? Now it need new apholstery. I'd go black Alcantara with red stitching. 😊.

[@gr33ngobl1n94]

Great build! But those ridiculous American safety clown bumpers neeeed to go lol

[@Tcflohr]

Those 16V motors are sweethearts. The scirocco had a larger intake manifold right? Kinda sad to see them scrapped

[@TheRebuilt1]

how is she running of late. You ever get rear wheel bearing situated?

[@jorgepinto3372]

Una locura en argentina existe muy poco golf vr6 y un muchacho llamado Martín gallego le puso un vr6 a un gol trend y está con la idea de poner una integral

[@BaldBloke]

The size of those fugly U.S spec bumpers though 🤣
