2002 Volkswagen Jetta GLX VR6 Quick Tour, Start Up, & Rev - 87k

[form109]

What causes that clunking noise?...our 2000 Accord does that when the car is put into Drive or Reverse.

[form109]

The engine cranking over kinda reminds me of a 4.6 Liter Ford Modular V8 :/

[grinnellalarms]

thats actually a sexy interior

[parsley0120]

Please fix the fact that this car is a 24V VR6 with 200 hp and 5 speed tiptronic automatic. Not 174 hp and 4 speed auto.

[Intechdude300]

@parsley0120 Hmm, must of looked up the specs to the GLX VR6 Wagon as these were the specs listed for that on edmunds but different to the sedan.

[parsley0120]

@Intechdude300 Thanks for changing it! I think the last year for the VR6 Wagon was 2002 so it did have a 174 hp 12V VR6 mated to a 4 speed auto or a 5 MT. In 2002.5 VW put a 24V VR6 in the Jetta (sedans) allowing you to either have a GLX with a 5 speed auto or a GLI with a 6 MT.

these trunks fit one to two people comfortably hahaha

Another difference to note only 12v glx came with climatronic standard 24v got them as a separate package (In the glx trim only)

This car is not a 5 speed!

[Intechdude300]

@hemmegirl1

You're right it's a 4 speed but it's too late for me to re-edit. I'll leave an annotation

[hemmegirl1]

@Intechdude300 I wasn't trying to correct you or any thing but i just wanted people to know the difference that's all so sorry if i sounded rude:(

[Intechdude300]

@hemmegirl1

Don't worry about it. It was my mistake which surprisingly no one else for 3 months lol.

[parsley0120]

@hemmegirl1

Wrong, this car does have a 5 speed Automatic, you can tell because it has the option for manual mode. 4 speed auto Jetta's had no option for manual mode. However, since this does have the 5 speed auto this is a 24V VR6 which means 200 hp not 174 hp. I have this exact car in platnium grey so that is how I know.

[vatan1923]

i thought 02 vr6 comes with 200hp and 1.8t comes with 180hp

[emmettmiller2012]

i was thinking about buying a jetta from an auction in chicago what are some major things to check for b4 buying?

[Intechdude300]

@emmettmiller2012

For a 2002 Jetta, the Transmission

[xomniherox]

@Intechdude300 unless its a manual

[chickwheat]

Engine sounds awesome.. my vr6 is a 2001 and it sounds like a diesel truck lol.. I love it.. But my dream is A GTI!

[gunnlover]

i still find it amazing you can sit there and gunn the cars and revv them like that without the dealers or salesmen getting pissed and saying knock it off or firing you. when i was an auto detailer and would revv cars the dealer didnt like it too much at all. Caught me doing it and it was the main reason they didnt hire me. So to see you sit there and revv and gunn them with the sales guys standing around not saying anything is amazing.

[Intechdude300]

@gunnlover

Most of these cars are ran by finance companies. & these auctions are filled with others dealers with urge to buy & check everything. Some rev harder than me. Mot don't know that I'm filming & believe I'm just checking to possibly buy the cars myself.

[gunnlover]

@Intechdude300 ooooh i thought you worked for the dealership hahahaha

[Intechdude300]

@gunnlover

Yeah I'm no employee to the auction. I'm under a dealer myself & I just do this on my spare time when I'm done with my own biz. Cant go in much detail on here tho.

[tremer88]

@gunnlover its good to rev cars that arent being driven, its gets old fuel going and fuel injectors pumping hard. anything over 4k when its cold isnt reccomended to do all the time, but a car that isnt driven very often it actually does help.

[gunnlover]

@tremer88 yeah thats what i say and thats my philosophy exactly. Unfortunately alot of people like to argue its bad for cars bc and will blow the motor or throw a rod. never seen that happen if you are reasonably light on the gas. Im not saying full throttle, maybe 1/4-1/2 throttle is fine.

[crammage]

i bet only lasts till 90k miles then something horrible goes wrong...

[hondaftw1234]

I know someones who's died with low miles and him taking perfect care of it.

VW= Unreliable

[crammage]

@hondaftw1234 yeah i can only stand older vws mid 80s and older...

[zakyum]

Hate the VW chime, ugh & it keeps going even after the car is running

[fanowner12]

That's not my favorite type of Jetta, but still.

[KingEastCoast]

Das Auto :D

[Fred924]

the VR6 is a lot better than a regular Jetta, in fact most Jetta interiors I have seen are poor, with buttons breaking off the dash. Surprised the information center didn't have any burned pixels on the screen, and the check engine light was actually off!

I hate VW and Audi, so my opinions on this matter are completely biased.

[SubieSean]

My dad had an '03 jetta GLI and he hated that thing lol. He hates FWD and every time he'd get on the gas the steering wheel would shake. Even though he switched to a TL thats still FWD it doesn't do it as bad.

[integraz32lover]

i love these cars,yea going into gear has a clunky feel to it
