Next on Project VR6 White Wookie, it's time to inspect the timing chain and guides for damage. This timing chain damage can be common on older VR6 engines.
Also, this was shot with my IPhone. That is why audio is a little different than normal.

Today we are going to talk about something that I kinda nerd out on. That is vehicle safety and safety systems. There is so much more to staying safe in an accident than just airbags and seat belts.
Sadly this came about because my best buddy wrecked his Civic. He does not know the total amount of damage yet, but I can promise you it is not the $30k worth of damage my friend Jack's Ferrari had.
Join me as we talk safety:
Active safety systems
Passive safety systems
Airbags
Seatbelts
Radios and A/C controls
Dashboards
Steering columns
Headrests
Engine mounts
Crumple zones
Fenders
Side panels
My totaled Civic
and more

Fuel injector failure is not super common on this VW TSI engine. However fuel injector replacement may be needed. In this video we will replace a fuel injector on a TSI engine. You can follow the same process on an Audi TSI, Skoda TSI, SEAT TSI and of course a VW TSI engine. The process will be basically the same for the Gen 3 EA888 2.0t and 1.8t.

On paper the 2019 Golf R is better in every way than the R32. More power, better tech, more room, advanced 4motion and so on. However, that doesn't tell the whole story. The R32 actually wins out in many ways that are hard to put on paper. The biggest one being those sweet R32 exhaust nosies from the VR6 engine! The R32 may not be fast, it also has all the mk4 VW issues, but it may be one of the most fun cars to drive. #r32 #humblemechanic #golfR
