97 vr6 thermostat replacement

I cant seem to find a good DIY online for vr6 thermostat replacement.

How many hours will this take? :hang:

never done one on a Vee Dub, but honestly… if the neck is accessable, it shouldn’t take any longer than 10mins.

2 hours min

its the plastic housing under the coil pack there are 3 or 4 allen bolts that hold the hole housing to the motor then 3 allen key bolts that hold it together its in there… good luck

search “vr6 thermostat” in the archived 12v vr6 tech forum. there are a bunch of threads on the topic

oh and dont crack the crack pipe, but if you do, i would invest in the metal one

lol NOTHING on a vw takes 10 minutes…

they were saying on the tex 2-3 hrs

Done,you have to unbolt the housing from the block and take the coilpack off and a few other things.It goes back together easier than it comes off,lol.

plus i needed a gasket from autohaus and coolant.

2 hours is accurate.
