HartleyB 0 Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 AfternoonFirst posting - so hello all, looks like there is a wealth of information on here.Have just bought a 93 VR6, black and all original with vw service history up to 92k and 115k on the clock now.All seems to be running well at the moment, but it needs a service - anyone know a decent garage in sw london area?Also think I am going to put new suspension on - marginally lower and obviously a bit stiffer - again any advice?ThanksHartley Link to post Share on other sites
spindat45 0 Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Welcome!Speak to Darren at VW Enterperise re your service and any other work you might need. His workshop is just off Walworth Rd SE17. He knows his stuff!Click the link below[link]http://www.vwenterprise.co.uk/?action=contact I opted for GMAX shocks and springs as I was on a budget at the time. Great value for rmoney in my opinion. Check out the thread I posted at the time of fitting. [link]http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?112225.0 I can definately recommend these if you just want to uprate from standard but don't have bundles of cash. There a many other suspension set ups that members are using on here so do your research before you decide.KevinLinks are working now Link to post Share on other sites
HartleyB 0 Posted July 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Nice one thanks - had a look at the website and looks like the place to send it and its not far from me.Had a look at gmax link as well - I think I really only want to go 20mm lower by the sounds of it and just to stiffen things up a bit. Do a fair bit of driving in london and just not sure I can deal with the speed bumps being any more of an issue! Know it wont look as good but presume its possible to only lower marginally?thanks again... Link to post Share on other sites
spindat45 0 Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 The GMAX kit lowered mine by approx 40mm all round. [link]http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?119591.0I also live in South London and speed humps were a major consideration when I was choosing suspension. Even when I had the 15's fitted I didn't really have any problems but I've always been sump cautious Ride is also good, neither too harsh nor too soft. Adjustables will give you more scope with regards to ride and height but they are generally a bit more pricey. Kevin Link to post Share on other sites

HartleyB 0 Posted July 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Have just been outside and taken some, but can't work out how to upload them?!?Thanks had a look at the other link. So if I keep 15s does that mean they won't scrape like the 17s? Have first problem as well - my mate who owned the car hadn't driven it much for quite a long time. Its done about a hundred and fity miles or so, some motorway some town, since it was jumped and first run again. The water light has been flashing a couple of times - I thought it was a dodgy connection to the fan, as if you stop it and start again fan comes on and light goes off and also water temp and level was fine.Came out to it the other day and noticed wet underneath (its parked on a hill and had drained forward) - think a hose has gone as all right hand side of engine (when looking into bonned) where hoses come out is covered in what looks like residue from dirty / rusty water..... Haven't had time to have a go at it yet, but hope its just a hose which has gone.....when I work out how to will upload some photos of car and engine where problem is!
