Is this really a VR6?

Carmaster · #1 02-27-2008, 10:51 PM

Hey guys. I'm shopping for my first car, and I'd like it to have either a VW or Audi badge on the grille. There are no used Audis in my area, so I'm looking at VWs. So what's your opinion on this car? Is it really a VR6 model? I thought the all the VR6 versions got alloy wheels, but I'm not sure. Thanks for any help. 1999 VW Jetta VR6 5-speed.

well since there is an engine pic of a vr6, i would have to say yes.

looks like a VR6 to me, wanna buy it then sell me the engine

I thought about that, but it could be a pic from another Jetta.

To CAB509, sure. If you'll loan me the money to buy the car.

then they would be a very cleaver scam artist, but I mean your gonna go check out the car before you buy it, I would assume, so you can always check the engine when you get there

Yes, it is a vr6.

Well, since you guys answered my question, how reliable are VR6 engines? And does the 1999 Jetta have the 12v or 24v VR6?

cincyTT · #9 02-27-2008, 11:12 PM

It is a 12v and they are more reliable than a 1.8t since there are less parts. Not to mention that engine could easily be replaced for cheap if the engine is bad

Thanks. About how much will a set of alloy wheels from a newer Jetta cost me? Those hubcaps looks horrible.
EDIT: I just looked the car up on carfax, and it says it has a 30v VR6. That's not right, is it?
