The Monk 50 Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Something rather boring for this thread but still. Used 5th gear for the 1st time in the entire 16 months I've owned the 24v. VR6 Supercharged 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Monk 50 Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Had a mid and rear silencer powerflow cat back fitted to the Galaxy today. I don't think the mrs will be happy when she's actually a passenger, with it being really loud, but it does take me back. emansfield68@yahoo.com and VR6 Supercharged 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Pete 1,443 Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 As you can guess it's been standing for a while. Took it out to blow off the cobwebs and this happened. Luckily I was able tip toe it home. I've also ordered front left ABS sensor as light has come on and vcds suggests this is at fault. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Monk 50 Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Well. I've just replaced the crank sensor. When hot starting, the car no longer drops it's revs below normal or misfires or stalls itself. That is great. The problem now is finding out why the car shakes if the revs are gently taken to about 1k and held there. Feels like a balance issue or misfire but all the plugs and Coil packs are less than a year old and it did the same prior to being replaced. The joys, eh?. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Had the auxiliary belt off the other day with the pulley theory in my head. All pulleys and bearings are absolutely fine. Tensioner was replaced last year and that spins faultlessly. Thanks for the idea. Was a good try. Shame it wasn't one of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Timothy_Ellis 23 Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 My cat started going bad and I got weird stalls from it. Hooked it up to vagcom and ran the test on o2 and cat. Have you tried that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,443 Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Got my VR6 running after replacing belt, ABS sensor and sorted a blow on exhaust ! good result, running sweet again now and gave the old girl a good clean! Timothy_Ellis and The Monk 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Monk 50 Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 Carefully smashed my head into the steering wheel and hammered the dash earlier today, after three attempts at a hot start with cut out and misfires. Back to square one. Again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
red_rocket 8 Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 (edited) "Rockets on the road again, wearing shiny clothes again" Used most of last week, whilst the family Cadillac was in for a wheel bearing. Running and driving great. Gave it a proper wash and cleaned the glass before going back in the garage. Edited May 30, 2017 by red_rocket VR6Pete 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
