oldmandon 1 Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 I'm looking at a V6 4MO on flea bay, and it mentions that the EML light is on, What is this and is it a hard fix?Is a 4MO much better than a VR6, I know it's 4 wheel drive etc but would I notice any improvements in power acceleration and driveability????

bungy 2 Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 I can't compare for you as I've not had a mk3 VR. Link to post Share on other sites
cabrioman 6 Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 i cant either had a mk3 and got a mk3 4mo .... craig would be the best one but he went from a N/A vr6 to a charged vr6 to R32T .... Link to post Share on other sites
oldmandon 1 Posted October 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 We need to get Spadam on the case, He went from a VR to a 4Mo didn't he???? Link to post Share on other sites
cabrioman 6 Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 ah yes little adam .... but he cant drive soooooo ..... hehe Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Yep I can compare quite well.Like chalk and cheese really. Mk3 seems old now to me and mk4 still looks quite new.Never having drove a standard 4 mo i cant compare standard to standard really.But comparing a well sorted mk3 VR as in coilies/ARBs/bigger brakes/ and a rotrex to the R32T is easier.Driving both cars is easy tho you have to be more careful in the mk3 as its only FWD cmpared to 4mo AWD. Tho you can throw the VR6 into corners and it does stick to a degree. The 4mo will corner like its on rails round corners and you can keep the power on, the amount of times I told Tony to keep his foot in going round corners on the way back from Germany was unreal lol.Biggest thing you will notice is the comfort in the mk4 is leagues apart from the VR6....even if the VR6 was a highline or had Recaros like mine....my seats are way better than them. Tho standard 4mo seats are not like mine, I think Bunny has Recaro leather in his and are a better seat.Easiest thing to do is try a 4mo out. The xmas do would be ideal if Adam, Bunny or myself let you try out. Tho mine would feel different to drive as I have uprated ARBs and Haldex controllers Link to post Share on other sites

craggsy 91 Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 The club is for all V dereritives from VW....not just the VR6 as the club will die out if it was just the old 2.8 12v engine.Plus the 24v engine is far better than the old 12v engine Link to post Share on other sites

I love the look of the MK2, and like the look of the Mk3, I've never been a fan of the Mk4 as I don't like the S shaped panel behind the rear doors!!!!, but saying that I like the 3 doors If it's got skirts etc and especially like the R32...Plus I think I have an affection for my current VR and even though I'm looking to change it, I'll be sorry to sell it...If I had room, I wouldn't. Would have to withstand the wrath of her in doors as she thinks I already have too many vehicles!!!!!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
oldmandon 1 Posted November 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Also, I've only got about £1500 max, and a 4MO would cost more, well a decent one would, and I think for that sort of money, I could get a real tidy VR, maybe not a total minter, but one that doesn't require a respray!!!!
