The whole time that r36 has been local to me for years and never realised it was straight piped. Shame I won't see it about anymore. Always looked mint.
I have a black wagon the same with a dsg and engine tune and its sharpened everything up. Brakes and suspension are sweet, I love it too brother and have never driven around with a window down so often. Holds its own around town too!!
@@garns8878 you’re not familiar with the platform? It’s a hell of a six cylinder, it makes 300whp from the factory and with a few bolt ons you’d be surprised how much that car can pull in the low end. It ain’t no sleeper with that loud exhaust, but it’s def a family wagon unsuspecting car only ever seen a few in life and they all boogie’d
All you need is a valve control for the exhaust and turn the loudness off and on when ever you want. I own one and I know how fun they are to drive! Had many other cars including a e46 M3 and still love the r36 even more.
Love the VR6, I had a mk3 Golf Vr6 Highline many years ago. The VR6 name comes from "Verkürzt” and “Reihenmotor" which translated means shortened inline engine, and 6 you can work out yourself. I always knew it as a Vee straight 6. Same basic design as a W16 Bugatti engine, but that engine is two VR8 engines sharing the same crankshaft. Or even the W8 in the passat or W12 in Bentleys. VR4 and VR6 respectively.
R in the VR6 stands for Inline, and the Pistons are only on e a 15 degree angle where a actual V6 is a 90 degree angle. so it is both a V and Inline 6.
When you're hoofin it in sport mode, my brain is going WOOOOOT! WOOOOOOOT WOOOOOOOOOOT! 😍 I deffo want one of those! 😎 I've owned Mk4 Cortina estates in the past, and loved 'em. I currently drive an 08 Astra "Caravan" (?) (why?) Estate diesel and love it. It's not fast but is torquey which I love. And, of course, you can get bikes in the back in needs be! Oh and windsurfer on the roof!
I’ve wanted one of these for a few years now. Estate too. I want one even more now!! Haha. They are a staggered V. One block with 6 cylinders in a slight V
The sounds of cars are just class, sad to think in years to come which isn’t gonna be very long we are gonna only have boring silent electric cars which is quite shit to think about man. Yeah electric cars have that instant torque and what not but I’d rather have a loud fast car than a silent one. Most of the time you can tell what car is coming down the road just by the sound but soon that’ll be no more😂
I just have a 2006 tdi sport dsg , it's a brilliant car the most favorite car ever. You have a few more horses and 4wd, you can turbo these upto about 800 I think I've seen. You are a lucky man
VR6 engines are V6 piston engines with a narrow angle between the cylinder banks and a single cylinder head covering both banks of cylinders. Volkswagen Group introduced the first VR6 engine in 1991 and VR6 engines currently remain in production. From 1997 to 2006, Volkswagen also produced a five-cylinder VR5 engine based on the VR6.
Love the noise of a VR6 but can have better and similar power on my 21yr old 1.9 PD. :D I believe a diesel with more power probably more of a sleeper, not as noisy too lol.
Very true. The odd thing is they are badged as a VR6 in some cars and then a V6 in some others using that engine. The A3 3.2,Sharan 2.8 and Galaxy 2.8 using the Verkürzt Reihenmotor had V6 on the engine cover when they aren’t a V6 in the traditional design. Must have caused a bit of confusion for a few backstreet mechanics. I love obscure engines. The weird Mazda 1.8 24v V6 in the MX3 being one of them.
What a weapon!! I definitely would black that chrome front bumper and grille!! Not a fan of the chrome but definitely a fan of the whip!! What a weapon!! Fair play can't wait for build videos!! 🤟👌🤙
My Dad bequeathed me his 2008 b6 passat estate 2litre sel. I absolutely love the r36, I think the main appeal with these motors is that they are under the radar (proper sleeper cars). Would love the r36 but very pricey as I don't think that your getting anything decent under twenty grand. After seeing this I am definitely contemplating doing mine up to a good standard maybe up to the standard (as close as I can) of the r36
20.9 mpg sounds decent. I've got a 2022 Touareg Black Edition TSI, and long term average is 19 mpg. Granted it's a heavy car, but it's also newer and so should be more efficient.
Wheel setup pls. I got r36 and I want size up from 18 . Are you running 20s?! which offsett and tires specs? I can't find tires for 20 with correct load index. Some help pls . Your car looks mint .
Like you I went from a tuned mk7 golf r to a mk5 golf r32. Not the same car but similar enough. I got bored very quickly. The noise is about all its got going for it.
hey, here passat cc vr6 3.6 owner, maybe the dsg is different? mine dsg farts very loudly in between gears, mostly between first gear and second ON SECUENTIAL mode
I own the American version of this car....I'm missing the DSG and seats but as far as I know the engine,front brakes and suspension are the same....I have the Passat CC front seats.
Should never put a DSG gearbox in N when in motion, to get it out of sport mode just put it back in D. If you go into N you should actually come to a stop before going back into gear
Too bad the R36 never came to the state's. I owned an MK4 R32 but lost her to a flood 😢. I wish VW never had gotten rid of the VR6.VW, at the very least, to make the VR6 an option for enthusiasts who love the VR6 engine.
Absolutely a VR6 🫡 Fellow R36 owner here
Me 2 not exactly a R36 mine is the B7 3.6 V6 but same Engine the BWS
After seeing this vid I need to straight pipe mine but German TÜV says no😢
@@canyonfreerider9420buterfly?
Here. I got an R36 B6 with a cat delete. It’s on my channel
FairPlay stunning car!! Im a R32 owner and the noise doesn’t get old for me after 5 years!
My old car, still in my profile picture 😂. Miss it like crazy but needs must! Enjoy it dude!
At least it’ll get driven properly now Jonny 🤪
@@samdub dunno what you're on about love 😂
This sounds unreal
The whole time that r36 has been local to me for years and never realised it was straight piped. Shame I won't see it about anymore. Always looked mint.
I wish we could have had this model in the states. We love a good power wagon over here too. I love this R36 - please keep this ride Harry.
I have a black wagon the same with a dsg and engine tune and its sharpened everything up. Brakes and suspension are sweet, I love it too brother and have never driven around with a window down so often. Holds its own around town too!!
always loved the sleeper wagon builds, awesome seeing an R36 on the channel the exhaust surely gonna get you in some trouble!
Aren't sleepers meant to be fast 😂

Deffo a VR6! I've got the 3.2vr6 version! with only 30k miles, Absolutely love it!!
Got the Passat R32 and love it! Sound is super addictive
Estates are the way forward, I have an S4 avant v6 3.0T and its immense the sound from it
Was going to buy an r36 early last year but a 4.2L b7 s4 avant came up for sale at a good price. The r36 is a dream wagon for me
Think maybe the s4 is a better choice but for some reason these r36’s are lovely and tempting
As I was typing that it's the ultimate daily, you said it !! Unreal car, don't see them very often 🔥🔥
32 but feel old owning a estate. I’m 30 and had one for 6 years 😂 lot more practical and really comfortable
This dude has the best taste in cars
Smashed the like button even before watching ! R36 is sooo sick !

My father had one, 2.7 vr6, i wasnt born he sold it.... Soon r36 sedan here
Love it. Can't beat a long roof with a lump in it

Only 25 and had a passat for a few years now, they are out of thus world
Very cool cars and rare as well. Black headlining would finish the inside off well 😎

I deffo want one of those! 😎

The 36 as a b7 optic would be so sick as well
i think it would really suit a splitter kit with skirts and rear spat extensions that would look mega and then like a sunstrip
No

You have a few more horses and 4wd, you can turbo these upto about 800 I think I've seen.

@@garyo4135 yup, daily drive/power wise.
It's definitely a VR6! I want one asap! Great car bro
100% its a VR6 . :D Sounds Amazing Sir
always loved the R36 my pal has imported a few beautiful motors
congrats
That sound and upshift, wow.
What a weapon!! I definitely would black that chrome front bumper and grille!! Not a fan of the chrome but definitely a fan of the whip!! What a weapon!! Fair play can't wait for build videos!! 🤟👌🤙
Thats not chrome , its matt silver. Iconic to the r36 .
Yeah, do the same black colour as the car has, looks 10 times better 🤩
Thats Decent mpg, I get around that if not less when driving through towns.
R36 wagon is an absolute boss car.
Awesome Passat 🤘 MTB trails/builds again, miss the old builds and trails.

It’s got to be one of your best cars after the GTR
Nearly creamed myself when I discovered this video with the r36 which is one of my favorite cars. I have a 2008 b6 passat estate sel
Sounds insane it sounds like ur gtr when u close the windows 😅 sounds so sick tho
Something so cool about fast estates
Big vw guy that thing is savage bro well done 👏we've got a mk5 r32 class cars I like the r50 tourag to
Oml what a beast 😍 can't wait till i get my own aswell. Cheers from The Netherlands
I just got one before Christmas. Black as well. Love mine!
20.9 mpg sounds decent. I've got a 2022 Touareg Black Edition TSI, and long term average is 19 mpg. Granted it's a heavy car, but it's also newer and so should be more efficient.
And shaped like a house brick
Absolutely stunning mate 💯and purrrrrsss nicely 😁👌🏼

It is definitely louder than my own R36. It’s louder on the motorway while you’re cruising on sport mode 😳
Would the exhaust fit golf mk3 vr6 2.8 1997, RHD? And sound the same? Gearbox is standard 5 speed.
Sick sound 🤠
That's my kind of "music" .. 🤹♂️😃
Barges for winners, loved my octy barge and now moved onto i30n.

Ordered a hoodie and t shirt mate can not wait.👍
Definitely a VR6 wish we had them across the pond. We got the plain v6
Awesome cars these and getting rare deffo s keeper that Harry lad
Hello bro i love your work , did you tune the car after you straight pipe it or it is ok ? Thanks 🌹
That sounds unreal
Love the new motor, shame the transporter had to go ,can you tell me what the paint was you used on the gtr headlights ?
Nice little touch init
R36 is elite
I have no clue why because its just the r32 in a passat estate but i love this me always wanted one i been in one and it handled better that the golf
That's a loud VR6 🔥🔥
that thing is fucking beautiful
I own the American version of this car....I'm missing the DSG and seats but as far as I know the engine,front brakes and suspension are the same....I have the Passat CC front seats.
I've been looking at the r36 but thought it was under powered for the engine would of expected it to be more
Yes Harry, wagon vibes! 🔥😮💨
If this was turbod it would be a monster
I really want to straight pipe my R36 now😂
R36 is still vr6 so its have one c.head and in some years VAG starts call them V6 maybe for some market reasons.
Is your car tuned?
When the estate calls middle age is approaching fast…
Does this have cats on it?
loving the car bro earnt a new sub , Do you have trouble MOT'ing ? or is it straight piped from the cat. 👍 sick car
@harrymain iv got a fully forged R36 engine here if interested was going to put it in my MK6 golf R but iv got another one that I’ll put in next year
Holy wagon that is fxxkin awesome 👍
What a daily 🔥🔥🔥
Fire in the booffff 🔥🔥🔥
Had one of these in blue, removed the back box and… it wasn’t subtle. Exhaust drone was a stinker at freeway speeds.
My dream car
Sounds off the chain 👌
Epic car love it!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Had loads of these .. sound amazing but sound and performance don't match cus they sound alot faster than they are
Should never put a DSG gearbox in N when in motion, to get it out of sport mode just put it back in D. If you go into N you should actually come to a stop before going back into gear
All bark no bite stuck a turbo onit or supercharge it
R36 🐐 wagon
Rims 20 ???
Nice motor 👍🏻
Mate thats a standard b6 key, the standard pd uses the same..
Love it. Chains are a bit of a bitch to do but always loved that car.
Vr6 for sure
Nice bro but if you drove a rs4 estate you would have 💯 bought one lol
Sounds mega, I smoked one of these in my insignia vxr on the East lancs 😁👍🏻
Underrated car the Insignia VXR 👍
Sick vid as per fuckin awesome car a have mk4 golf estate pd 210 bhp grt cars love it keep smashing these vids 👍🤜🏴

Sheeeesh

Not sure why but i think this would look mint in a dark green and black and call it the HULK haha
Big brake kit needed ASAP
Good thing that vw kits are cheap af
