Great video !
Nice tips thank you
My pleasure!
Hello! Do you have a wiring diagram of the essentially to start outside the engine bay a obd1 AAA VR6?
I have fuse/relay box, original harness and ECU bosch.
Need help to eliminate all wires/relays/connector and then simplify the complete harness to make work the engine.
Want to swap it in a old scirocco.
Thanks!
sorry for the late reply but I can definitely look into something for you. I use the a2resource website alot for all my electrical needs . also I think all you need is the G harnesses so g1 and g2
Do you have wire diagram from 1988 ce1 diagram and 1995 gti vr6?
Hi dude, thanks for tips.
Could you provide me the wiring diagram if Is possible ?
Did you keep both fuze boxes ? We aré thinking that, keep original fuze and just use the mk3 fuze box for pump fuel and engine fuzes.
I kept my mk2 fuse box and used original gas tank with a stronger fuel pump
@@R2MK2VR6 Hi dude, thanks. at the end I choosen swap it to vw a3 2.0 engine due was a mess to get the vr6 swap, I'm working on the 2.0 for now. thanks !!
Just use the MK3 fusebox. Way less engine issues with the correct part.
@@BigPoppaLay thanks dude, at the end I couldn't get all the needed for vr6 swap AND just replace engine for a mk3 2.0. I did the advice that you answer, use the mk3 fuze box and the gasoline tank with pump. Easy and was ready in couple of weeks. To sound little bit aggressive I put a vr6 leistritz 😀
My car Is a Jetta mk2 GL
Thanks
Hola tengo una pregunta?con el tema cableado,me puedes ayudar hracias
Hey just watched your video and want to ask a few questions if it's okay.
I have a 1991 MK2 jetta and want to do a AAA 12V VR6 with 02J (similar to yours) but was wondering if a standard MK3 K-frame would work and then just using VR6 rear engine mount and VR6 gearbox mount with it? Also want to know the front engine/gearbox mount are you using VR6 mount or standers MK2 mount as well as what front frame are you using (MK3 VR6/ standard MK2 or Passat B4 VR6)? Thank you.
Hey ! Thanks for reaching out ! So my subframe if off a mk3 vr6 GTI
Trans mount aswell
Front kframe is still the original from my mk2. I am not 100% sure if the mk3 would fit but I do know the Passat b3 also Corrado vr6 would aswell.
If I had about more coin to spend I would go for the fabless one .
If you have trouble to locate the parts . Eurowise has a whole lot for vr6 swap with all original mk2 subframe and kframe
@@R2MK2VR6 okay cool I have a mk3 K-frame with vr6 engine and gearbox mounts but the front is what I'm not sure of ,if I use a mk2 front crossmember do I use a stock mk2 front engine mount and then just cut the crossmember to lower the engine mount position?
@@Die_Dylan you're better off with a mk3 subframe and mk2 front k frame so you won't need to cut your frame . Also I used a stock front mk2 engine mount
@@R2MK2VR6 did you have to cut and lower the mk2 front k frame 🤔 or is it a stock mk2 front k frame with stock mk2 front engine mount (sorry for all the questions but just want to make sure when I vr6 swap my jetta😅)
I did not cut anything ! Surprisingly. Also the cranks pulley has a sleeve that you will have to burn off so it passes your frame when you put your engine in . All this so you don't have to hit your frame !
Hi again , question is your corrado radiator and fans from a mk3 and if I can't find one will a mk3 golf or jetta radiator work . I have same car as yours 91 red . Doing a mk5 r32 swap. Thanks👍
Corrado vr6 rad with spal dual slim fans
That's what I'm using . So Corrado rad with hoses and dual spal slim fans
Is this the same for all the coolant hoses mk3 Corrado
Mk3 hoses won't fit with Corrado rad they are shaped differently . You can also use the mk3 one but it's too big in my opinion
Questions I have a 3.2 vr6 swapping in a 1991 mk2 using a 6speed transmission 02M .what axles I can use with my 02M . And I need the . Wire diagram from a Eos vr6 3.2 to a 1991 gti . Thanks for your help
sorry for the late reply did you find what you're looking for ?
@@R2MK2VR6 not yet
@@ervinhernandez3137 alright so for the axles I used 100mm flanged axles . The axle cups on the tranny need to be 100mm or you can use 109mm depends which axles you want . Also what hub are you gonna use . As for the wiring swapping a 3.2 vr in a mk2 if I’m not mistaken you would need a custom made wiring harness . Seeing it runs with a electric pedal
@@R2MK2VR6 what tranny are you using?? The 02j axle flange is smaller than the 02m tranny . I got the 02m with flanges from a 2003 gli vr6 24v
@@ervinhernandez3137 you would have to basically buy a flange kit for the axles and replace the inner cv joints . If you want to save time and headaches see if there is a axle shop near your house and maybe he can set everything up for you .
I would like to have some wiring information Light which wires You have to delete
For my head lights I am not using my mk3 harness . I am using my stock mk2 one. I find it is easier
So all the light harness of the mk3 you can delete . Then if you don't have ac u can delete that aswell . Don't just cut off the wires. Try to remove them from the pins going to the ecu
Hi again , I have the exact car but I’m putting in a r32 problem is the power steering pump is so close to the cross frame I have no room to hook up the pressure line .
Okay so I used a mk2 p/s pump with mk3 pulley . I don't know exactly the size of the pulley or even the pump but seeing that the accessory bracket are all the same you can use mk2 pump with mk3 pulley should work .
Sorry if I did not reply to your last comment I got the notification but couldn't see your comment on my feed
r2 mk2vr I’m using a original mk2 pump with the right pulley but I think the 12 valve vr doesn’t have this problem it’s the 24 valve is the problem
@@mechanicalmanny494 which crossmember are you using ?
r2 mk2vr mk2
Hello. I have a 1990 Jetta GLI. I recently picked up a 3.2L 24v for a steal. I traded a 16v head and $400 for the engine, wireharness, and Ecu. I also have an 02M 6speed transmission that’s rebuilt. I know the 1990’s and up have the CE2 fuse boxes. Do you have the wiring diagram for the 3.2L? It’s from a 2008 A3
Hey ! Unfortunately I do not at the moment , I can see maybe next week ! Also which one do you need ? Power management?
I don’t know how much you’re willing to invest but there are companies that make plug and play harnesses that will save you a lot of time and headaches . Eurowise is one of them! Trust me I spent a lot of time and money trying to find wiring harnesses and most of them were all rotten and spliced up already ! If you still want the diagram give me some time and I will get it for you !
@@R2MK2VR6 my engine already came with the wire harness. I am going to send it to the TDC shop to get re modified. I am thinking about going to fabless for the 02M swap kit
@@Continental719 that’s the best way to go tdc does amazing work . He’s the guy who created sesh harnesses ( the one I’m using ) and I would shop around for the mount options reason why I’m saying this is because I heard some people don’t like the quality . Also you can probably get cheaper price wise for better quality locally
Can u please name everything that I need for the swap vr6 mk2 jetta
Hey sure no problem
1) you need engine vr6 aaa
2) transmission 02a or 02j
3)engine harness mk3 vr6
4)mk3 vr6 subframe
5)you can use original k frame
6)if you're digi2 it'll be easier if digi1 you need whole digi2 harness and fusebox
7)you need pedal box Corrado or Passat b3
8)shift box 02j
9)clutch slave&master cyl
10)mk3 very cluster with harness
11) preferably mk3 vr6 gas tank ( I used my mk2 1.8 one but put stronger fuel pump
I bought a mk3 wit everything in it
That's the best thing to do is to have a doner car . I had to source everything separately cause there was no doner cars available
The vr6 move in a mk2
@@jamaalplatts7251 it takes alot of patience to do it also when you reach the time of the swap let me know
