I loved the "whoa-ho-ho" right when it started sputtering I knew exactly the feeling. Worked on my kid's VR swap and got it "running" but only on 3 cylinders. My kid was totally demoralized. Spent several hours looking through it, and found that the big engine harness lug had cracked and wasn't seating fully, leading to 50% harness disruption. Seated it in fully and saw the sensors show up in VAG-COM properly. Then waited an entire day for him to come back and fire it up. There was some woo-hooing that went on. Glad you perservered.

Ya when it’s taken a toll on your sole you can’t help but get emotional when they stumble and fire. Seems cliche but this was absolutely genuine!! Lol, again thank you for the support as always!! Much much appreciated! Cheers

Really enjoying this part of the show. Really making me miss my old MK2s.

I can’t miss an episode, this is my favorite KZread channel 💯

Love seeing the genuine hype getting it started. Can certainly relate there!

Nice finally started up I am doing a vr6 swap in my mk2 gti let's hope my starts up right away

That nose sound when it didn't start 😁 good job, very inspiring videos!

Love your channel man,good job with the swap,and pushing through the highs and the lows..Your getting me stoked to put a vr6 in my 77 rabbit.

So excited to finally hear it run. Thanks for the perseverance buddy!! 😁

Great work as always 👏 must have been driving you mad but the reaction to it starting is what makes it worthwhile 😁 when my 16v mk2 was in for rebuild (resurrection) at my mates work (bus yard) when taking the rack off the subframe the mounting feet on the rack sheared off 🤦‍♂️ so the new pipes i bought for it were redundant and i had to swallow that cost , plus a new rack and surcharge from vw heritage here in the UK 🙃 worth it in the end though and i have a pair of hard pipes in stock for either of my mk2s 😂

Beautiful absolutely love watching you drop vw content love the golden oldy😎😎😎😱😱😱🥰🥰🥰🥰

Always a Thumbs up on this channel 👍🏻💯

Enjoy Pro regards from Holland

That is Awesome that this Jetta finally runs, and you were able to fix some other problems along the way to get to this point. I like your videos, because you go in depth on how to fix problems when they come up.

YES! Victory!...nice work R. Perseverance, hard work and yes the ebbs and flows of doing a motor swap. Fantastic video as usual. Keep up the great work and thank you for documenting all of this to make it so other backyards wrenchers can tackle these engine swaps in their own garages.

Loving the content. Keep up the good work. Are you on vortex? Some people in the mk1 forum were wondering if you were on there.

Congratulations, the install is quite tidy as well. The first drive should be nerve wracking per usual I just went with a Eurowise harness when I swapped an ABA in my 87, fired of first crank.

Do you remember what the rim and tire size is on the car? I like the look.

Very nice seats ! What is it ?

whats to prime the gas pump? is it taking its air in the gas lines?

What connector did you forget to plug in?

Hi what wheels are on the Jetta?

Here in Australia it's a mystery why anyone would buy a VW. We think they are trying to impress someone by pretending to Euro

Does this car have the fabless hydro clutch conversion?
