WHAT MOTOR IS IN THE CAR? vr6 V6
I just had the thermostat housing replaced on my 99 Jetta VR6. It's on the right (driver's) side of the engine block. The battery and battery tray should be removed to get access to the thermostat.
its a motor that volkswagen used in the 90s corrado, gti and jetta.
To replace the thermostat on a 2001 VR6 Jetta, first ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the battery. Drain the coolant and remove the upper radiator hose from the thermostat housing. Unbolt the thermostat housing to access the thermostat, replace it with a new unit, and reassemble everything by reversing the steps. Finally, refill the coolant and check for leaks.
Depends on your environment. Look in the owners manual. I use 10w-30 in my 1997 Jetta VR6 year-round.

The 2.0 liter engine is 115 HP and the vr6 model has 174 HP.
You can buy a Jetta VR6 for example on eBay or carsforsale. Or search a carshop near by you and asked for a Jetta VR6. I am sure you will find you dream car.
