gavinvr6 0 Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 ya not making much sense to me mate, you got anu pictures of the bits you changed and the bits not connected to anything. basically sounds like you buggered a connection somewhere.take lots of pics and post em up showing what you replaced what you disconected and all that malarky Link to post Share on other sites
yakuza racer 16 Posted April 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 ok i took out my aux water pump and ran a connector through it. Also the big round plug which connects the inside loom to the engine loom is faulty or something like that, im busy waiting to smoke finish then im going to put my negative battery cable back on ( soft reset if im correct) Link to post Share on other sites

gavinvr6 0 Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 first things first,take out that bit of pipe that bypass's the aux water pump, you will bugger ya engine, the pump is there to provide flow once the ignition is switched off coz the vr heads run real hot and not allowing em to cool correctly will cause em to warp and blow the head gasket.and then try seperating the large loom connector and checking the pins inside that, if you put it back bent you may of broke one of the connectors,if these dont work you will have to get it on vag-com Link to post Share on other sites
yakuza racer 16 Posted May 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 thanks man, placed it on VAG COM and came up with two error codes, crank sensor and something else, but cleared it and the car is driving worlds better, im going to try and fix the aux pump and put it back...... the aux pump is totally outta my car now, but since i've replaced my starter it seems to have been cooling down strange i know...PS what is the operating temp on the vr6, cause my temp goes as high as 98 Link to post Share on other sites
