vr6woody28 0 Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 hi,i own a 97 vr6 when cold - if you drive off fast & change to 2nd gear there is lack of power as if it's about to cut out but never does,it eventually gets power back & is fine.also when cold theres a whineing noise which goes away when warm.if anyone has any idea what the problems are let me know pleasethanks!

Damo 85 0 Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 pretty much every VR whines from cold. iirc its something to do with the gearbox oil.... with the lack of power does it feel lumpy etc?? have you had it on VAGCOM at all?? Link to post Share on other sites

Damo 85 0 Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 could be a number of things. common problems are coilpack, spark plugs, HT leads... but if you can get it on VAGCOM first to rule anything else out its best to do that Link to post Share on other sites
