Hello all,

 

After being away for a couple of years I am being drawn back to the Golf V6.

 

A mate of mine has a V6 4mo with very low mileage that has been off the road for approx. 2 years.

 

One of the issues he has is the alternator has an intermittent fault and another is that I will need to replace the cheap suspension kit he had fitted back to stock. 

 

Can you guys help with what I need to look out for?

 

Thanks,

 

Gill.

Finally got the car back to stock and on the road after being dormant for 2 years.

 

I want to keep the car as stock as possible with some minor mods for performance.

 

I have fitted a Pipercross panel filter and will possibly look at a remap but before I do that i'm toying with the idea of removing the centre silencer only. Has anyone removed the silencer and if so how was the sound and what are the benefits, if any?

 

Thanks.

I removed the silencer out of mine and just welded in some exhaust pipe instead. You will defo notice a difference in the exhaust note, the vr noise is awsome. I wouldnt of said the performance changed but the noise is sweet.

 

Do you happen to know the pipe diameter I would need also I have been reading a few posts where people mention a lack of back pressure will lose a bit of power. Is this true or will removing the centre not affect the pressure?

Not 100% but sure its 2.75 inch, it was a while ago i did mine. Ive had mine on a dyno which was after i had done the pipe. I got 200 bhp out of mine which is not bad for a 14year old car and 125 thou on the clock. So considering that i wouldnt say it has any effect on the power output of the car.
