The VR6 Engine – a legend becomes a classic
Six cylinders on a single bank, as compact as a four-cylinder and as smooth-running as an inline six: Volkswagen's VR6 revolutionized the engine world in the 1990s. More than 30 years after its debut in the VW Corrado, it is now regarded as a sought-after classic icon.
With 2.9 litres of displacement and up to 190 PS, the VR6 was used in the Corrado, Golf III, Passat and VW T4, among others. The overhaul of these engines is closely linked to the history of Wagner Motoren – with the VR6, our specialization began.
VR6 in trouble? We can help.
Is your VW T4, Golf III, Passat, Sharan or Corrado showing high oil consumption or already suffering engine damage?
We provide you with a professionally overhauled VR6 engine, completely reconditioned in our workshop. On request, we can also arrange nationwide collection of your vehicle across Germany.
From engine failure to as-new condition
We completely disassemble the engine, clean it thoroughly and inspect all components for wear and damage.
Worn or damaged components are consistently replaced with high-quality new parts.
Cranktrain & engine block
The cranktrain is measured precisely and the bearing shells are renewed. We bore the cylinder liners to the required oversize of 82.0 or 82.5 mm respectively. New pistons are then fitted.
Cylinder head & valve train
We check the cylinder head for warping and resurface it if necessary. Valve guides, valves and valve seats are inspected, reworked or replaced and subsequently ground in professionally.
New valve stem seals, a new oil pump and a complete timing chain kit are always included as part of our VR6 engine overhaul.
Requirement: engine suitable for overhaul
The cylinder head and engine block must not show irreparable damage such as cracks or fractures. The valves must not be torn off and the engine must not have been assembled from damaged individual parts.
If the engine delivered is not suitable for overhaul, the additional effort involved will be charged separately.
←Note on overhaul suitabilityPossible additional costs
Further damage often only becomes visible after the engine has been removed and disassembled. Costs for oil, oil filter, small parts or additional work can therefore not always be determined as a flat rate in advance.
This may include, for example, damaged threads, defective engine mounts, work on axle components or the replacement of damaged attached parts. If refrigerant has to be drained, costs may also arise for the required refill quantity.
For automotive workshops only
We supply our overhauled VR6 exchange engines exclusively to automotive workshops. For liability reasons, we do not fit customer-supplied replacement parts.
Nationwide collection
Unable to bring your vehicle to us yourself? We organise nationwide collection across Germany at attractive rates – convenient, reliable and straightforward.
