Original VW GOLF 3 VR6 in depth look - That Sound! Sound! Sound!

[@libeRebil]

Ladies and gentlemen, this is an incredibly neat car with a very passionate owner. So no crazy driving in this video. Now please help me find a modified one we can really stretch its legs. Hope you enjoy the video ❤️

[@brentfredericks6829]

One of best sounding cars if not the best

[@kevinalexandre3763]

Then the car should be parked, spark plugs taken out if the owner is scared to rev it up!! It can be a talking piece in a museum instead, if he does not want to let us see the car in it's full glory.

[@ozzi4627]

Hey pinging should not be present regardless of the ambient temperature .it's also not common on the VR6....if it's pinging something is a miss mechanically/electronically....@ the noise it makes,it's a combo of BMW inclined six,Alfa Romeo V6s and Nissan V6s...however the Mk3 VR6 sounds differ from car to car especially with mods but also stock for stock...just gives it so much character....I remember when I belonged to the initial Cape Town Vr6 owners club and a guy a met there,his name I Ashley(Stock 1999 model VR6 jetta)I had a 1998 Stock golf(back box changed,webasto sunroof and many many sound systems)...another had a 3.1liter 1995 Grey jetta with complete exhaust,Kevin wit his white 3.1 liter jetta .....the cars sounded so different....ahh then also not forgetting MO786 with his 1996 Anthracite Golf with chip only...the noise that car makes(this dude still ajs it nearly 16 years now)...even the other guys at the time with drivable incomplete projects and dailys....each one just sounded different....think that's what gave it even more character....you want yours to sound like somebody else's but somebody want there's to sound like yours....2 of the best 6s in SA and will always be the Mk3 VR6 and the E30 325is(non of em need to show how much power or speed it has,it's what ignites the owner and the culture)....'if the car you driving does not make you look back at it after you parked it and walked away,then you not owning the right car for you'...man I miss my VR6 the roads just don't feel the same without one

[@omarfataar9669]

The VR6 is every young man's dream car ,very beautiful car 😍 and top it off Niyaaz your camera quality is amazing 👌

[@declansgamereview6523]

Top 3 SA legends from the 90s : 325is, Superboss and VR6

[@NdinguAnda]

Nah VR6 and E30 are in tgeur own league

[@jasonaleks4867]

Nah bmw 333i is the true icon

[@NdinguAnda]

@@jasonaleks4867 Yah youre obviously not south african

[@patrickneumann2022]

Amazing cars they are...I had one in south Africa that I baught back in 2004 with 55k kilometres for R90k. Moved to the UK and baught another two over time. That one is truly origanal and unmolested example. Sure there are quicker cars but the VR is a legend and allways will be.

[@friedookiehil]

Niyaaz, you made me nostalgic!! I remember my 1996 GTi Exec which I bought new and I used to be SO ENVIOUS of my buddy who had more braun and could study Medicine and finish his studies. He could afford a VR6. In dark green. We used to drive away from a golf game or a braai and people always went on and on about his beauty and mine was overlooked, even though they looked almost similar. NOW, to see an original and in a pristine condition.....PRICELESS!! And the sound...man oh man. 1996 was indeed a good year!

[@CarlosGomes-br3ur]

Still I have my golf 1996 golf GTI vr6 it looks like new 98 Thousand kilometres

[@friedookiehil]

@@CarlosGomes-br3ur my 1996 GTi 2.0 was stolen 1997 at Cresta Centre and was found in 1998 with 20 others near Botswana border in Police roadblocks / stings.

[@Koup_TV_]

Remember how we all made VR6 sounds with our mouths on school... imagining you're going flat out down the road

[@cebondlebe2771]

Music to my ears with headphones on, i LOVE VR6 especially the Jetta

[@setlogolo_sa_Hunadi]

Now u talking..my love for these car was in a jetta..Preferably white in colour

[@nbaloyi9100]

I'm owning a Jetta 1.8, looking forward to convert it to VR6😁🔥

[@jasonapollos2846]

Wow, this video just brought back some proper nostalgia. Loved every minute of it. I know back in the 90's we always debated which one sounds better - the VR6 or the 325iS. I will probably still go with the iS sound but the VR6 comes in at a very, very close 2nd. This one is immaculate. The owner must be so proud of it and surely a lucky guy/gal. Top class Niyaaz.

[@abm5707]

Bro, I could not agree with you more regardingthe 325iS (this is coming from a VW fan).

[@jacquincedras]

This VW fan will respectfully disagree with you gents🙈 but everyones motor ear is tuned differently👍🏽

[@abm5707]

@@jacquincedras 😁😁😁😁. I get u. As a VW fan, through and through, I just can't ignore the sound of a 325is. Will say though, I would buy a VR6 over a 325iS (non negotiable).

[@y4nnickschmitt]

I have to disagree. Yes the M20 engine in the 325i and 320i sounds fantastic. And especially so up top. However, it can't compete with the rumble and burble that the VR6 makes in the lower rpm range. The VR6 does something very few 6 cylinders do. It sounds very different at lower revs than it does at higher revs. And equally nice in either range.✌

[@rustumaz]

This vid took me back a few years. A VR6 is an amazing car, yes not the fastest but always a pleasure to drive. One of the best cars I've owned so far. Would take another in a heart beat.

[@morriesworld2776]

One of my all-time favourite cars. The sound is truly uhm, uhm, .... "heavenly"😆

[@jacquespieterse469]

I absolutely LOVE ADORE THAT SOUND

[@gvr6079]

I had a dark green metallic late '98 model VR6 Golf. It was a demo model with 5000 km on the clock. New ones wasn't available anymore in '99 when i purchased it. The grand tourer of hot hatches👌

[@Scoobydcs]

GLORIOUS noise, iv owned several including supercharged mk3 highline and supercharged mk4 r32. LOVE them and still miss them

[@TheSchalk1982]

Love this. The thing is this, I was 18 when this 1998 model was released. It was something to aspire to. If you worked hard you could afford it. And it was absolutely fantastic. One of the best hot hatches ever made. Like you said. The way it makes you feel. The sound, that badge, vr6. In the 90s it was just magic. Vw has lost the plot since.

[@Iceman125967]

Hence why it is no longer called the peoples car, and VW Know this

[@mrhess9641]

Niyaaz this most probably one of your best videos for me thank you for this one brother.

[@ashleypoole2072]

Buddy I must say u have alot of knowledge on the different kind of cars like u braking it down the way u explain it in detail the finer details

[@ramizkerdemay7183]

Brings back memories gooood memories of my uncle and his charcoal vr6 jetta with the bbs mags... The 1 thing that cannot be denied is the sound of this car is infectious

[@andym1578]

I love my 1994 mk3 vr6 it still looks like new I've had it for 18 year's and it always makes me smile every day😊

[@Oxedizer]

Growing up in South Africa, the VR6 was the ultimate V6, but cuk for snapped drive shafts for street drags, but that engine note was just perfection,... and even till this day, amazing. Great review bru, thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@rickerd83]

Growing up there was a guy that had a mk3 jetta vr6 and he planted it every morning on his way to work. Such an epic sound!!

[@PercyN]

I love how the camera is positioned for all the different angles.

[@MKVally]

love the vr6 motor, yes its not fast, but just such an awesome smooth drive, hence I bought an A3 3.2 quattro, because I love Audi's too.

[@janovanderwesthuizen2019]

1 of my fav cars ever, we had 1 when i was a youngster, a see green colour 1, also executive, a tear was shed when it got sold! Nice video Niyaaz, when you coming to kilarney again for some regional racing!

[@paintsilj]

Had my 97 UK golf mk3 vr6 2.8 for over 10 years. A dream to drive. Hopefully keep it another 10 years 🙏

[@LindsayForbes]

Yup, I love this car. I once had a '94 VR6 Golf. It eventually made me reminisce about the VR6 leading to me purchasing a VW CC 3.6 VR6. Very rare in South Africa.

[@brianmbanga7306]

So nice to come across unmolested classics. Thank you

[@aneekamoosa6087]

Thank you for this piece of nostalgia. Love the format of the video 👌

[@akingturtle]

I had one for 18 years. Got it when I was 16 and it got written off by my ex wife. 3.1l with Schrick cams, chipped. Most fun I had in a car, iconic sound but expensive to maintain. Vtec killer...best in its class x far when tuned properly.

[@omarsharif123]

Nice video 📹 I'm from the UK 🇬🇧 15-20 years ago people were steeling MK3 VR6 and put the engine and gearbox into MK2's

[@libeRebil]

Hectic

[@hiemabedrog]

Why is it pinging, its not a usual heat related issue, MAF maybe dirty, going broken, oxygen sensor maybe clogged by now, 25-ish years old if still oem part, did owner try scanning it and do live data, stock exhaust could also be choking it, owner could try running bottle injector cleaner in a full tank and see afterwards, just my 5cent as an ex 97' vr6 golf owner, other than that, this is a very nice car, drivers rear panel to bumper gap seems out, Mk3 Addicts on Facebook can sort owner out with left rear skirt clip!

[@marcojt23VW]

Just beautiful sir...i owend a mk4 v5 20v and the sound wow...amazing...but still I would love to own a Vr6...

[@thariramprith5194]

Not the usual liberebil video, understandably it's a clients car. But you know now why people like me feel inlove🤩 makes you feel like that kid again

[@michaelhansen6141]

Jarre bru! You can be a VW hater but if a VR6 pitch up no matter where you are, then you know somebody's gonna shout rev dai ding man!!! This was an amazing video bra and what a beauty she is. The owner should be proud because he owns one of SA's icons and to top it off.....she's still a virgin! 🤭🤙

[@nicosteenberg..7280]

Mine is modified.. Imported brand new original 2.9 pistons, viper performance exhaust and branches gasflow head and 268 cams...

[@eugenevanloggerenberg1889]

Had a VR6 with an SAC 3.1 conversion, airbox and King Dragon racing filter. The sound that VR6 made was legend. I was stopped everywhere I went and asked what have I done to the car to get that sound.

I have a few pics of this car. The condition is on a another level. I like the cluster to

Yoh clean AF! Mooi car, music to my ears listening to that iconic VR6 broe damn it! Great video once again Niyaaz 👌

[@dirtydiesel46]

Very nice review and video Niyaaz! Well done , love how well kept this example is 😍🙏🏻💪🏻 There used to be a modded black VR6 in Paarl, ran nitrous - think it came from Pniel actually and used to race here. Car was probably the only fast VR6 Paarl has seen in a long time , and it was proper quick. Not sure where it went , would’ve been cool to put you in contact.

[@asadkzn]

Beautiful machine, another top vid, jumah Mubarak to all!

[@242-f5u]

I have a '99 vr6 and must get an offer to buy it every month. Cannot get rid of it. Way too fun to drive and looks sharp.

[@kgomotsomokone5905]

The sound of the VR6 is one of the best sounds you can find...even though my favorite one is a jetta VR6... but still best car VW ever built...I get the GTi and R...but talking originality, I'd still go for the VR6...even though the petrol consumption is not friendly...lol...

[@ronaldmacdonald7226]

Love this car, thank you for the video. I had one of these in high school and enjoyed it very much. You are correct that sound, especially with a cold air intake. I miss mine. What a beautiful example!

[@rishaadismail1527]

Beautiful car love how she looks.very well kept I was in standard 2 when this car came out loved it then what a legend.

[@matsobanemabusela925]

Audiogasm from this Vr6😻

[@revinot]

VR6 Golfs or Jettas from this era were something special

[@JRXIX]

definitely one of the best sounding 6 cylinder engines around......... other contenders are BMW 325is and Alfa Romeo V6 "Busso' engines found in the 147/156 GTA, the Essex 3.0 litre found in old Ford Cortina XR6 and 3.0s models......... arrange some old school 6 cylinder cars for a vlog.........that would be lekker!

[@jakezjacobs4337]

One of my personal favorites. It's the sound for me unfortunately haven't drove one my self but it's a very good car...

[@cameronkritzinger8933]

Also came in 2.9 24v 140kw if I'm not mistaken

[@thatguy_kai]

Awesome video bro! I still would love to own a VR6 MK3 one day, that sound of the motor is just too amazing.

[@abm5707]

All rise: 📢THE LIVING LEGEND IS HERE.... I think, though, the 325is pips the Vorooza (VR6) to the line.... Respect to the owner for keeping the legend immaculate. 👌 Thank u for the brilliant video.

[@jacquincedras]

325is had alot more power compared to the 12v VR6

[@davideyres955]

Trying to keep my 98 golf vr6 on the road, but the poor old girl is getting a bit long in the tooth now, engine has a slight misfire, rust taking hold, and the dreaded heater core has just let go, but still trying to keep it going.

[@iqbalrawat9215]

I had 3 , over 9 years. The last one was perfect even at 200000 km

[@rickoshea8138]

I owned a VR6 Golf before a BMW 330. After 20 years, I still have the 330, but miss the VR6. It was easier to drive with its mechanical throttle, compared to the BMW's continuously adapting "fly by wire"; and more fun, despite being slower. Also, the sound was more pleasing than the inline 6. Yes, the BMW uses less fuel, but I no loner drive a lot.

[@madsknobelauch1274]

I also love my VR6 😀

[@eugene-leeplaatjies3786]

I love the vr6 golf 3 car.. I appreciate the video man.. Seems like it had a sunroof u didnt show it, u should have talked about the vr6 engine power output. They also come wth bbs rims.. Is that the obd2

[@rundllx3228]

Kind funny, I have a white 5 door VR6 too, but mine has some differences to the one shown in the video. Most of them are because mine is a German version

[@yuchejacobs639]

Just some feedback Niyaaz: It would be more informative to have pictures of what you're explaining about the engine pop up e.g. where you speak about the V layout have a picture pop up of what it looks like.

[@alliekanakiah6644]

[@Overanalyse_This]

Growing up, i had worked on convincing my dad to get a Jetta VR6. And then the first Audi A4 launched and the dude ordered the 2.8 Quattro after seeing the TV ad. ONCE. And then when it was time to replace it, we test drove the Jag X-Type 3.0L with black exterior and red leather. But somehow we ended up with a Dolphin Grey 2005 Audi A4 1.8T, grey leather and plastic wood on the interior. And cos he didn't want to wait another few weeks, its the 120kw version with black bumpers rather than 140KW version of the 1.8T that came with fully colour coded exterior and S-Line exterior package.😑
