Right, i need to vent so you guys are going to hear it Gets a call at 1pm today, the mother in laws crappy mk4 tdi has broken down and wont start, so being the caring son in law i down tools and go and help her. After 10 mins i diagnose a starter motor issue, as in its goosed. I tell her to ring her aa,rac or whatever to tow it back to mine and ill look at sorting it, well she doesnt have any of that cover so i use my green flag bearing in mind i pay for that. I then use my car to go and get a new starter from ecp, £65 plus a £24 surcharge when you return the old part, i pay for this as i ha

i can just see the above sat in front of his pc with nothing on but his pants tweaking his nipples now whilst on vr6oc.......wrong on a lot of levels

Evening all, I managed to get a couple of spare hours yesterday to have a play with the Golf. Fitted my front badge. Fitted my Skoda Octavia Alloys And changed to red & amber rears/orange sides plus the obligatory de wiper bung Left on the list of things to do are: Fit Konis with H&R springs Fit ABS pump Buy & Fit new coil Tint front fogs & indicators yellow with laminex Fit new front seats (Re-bolstered & trimmed VR6 seats) Then see what else needs doing...... Oh & save for the manual conversion

its ok mate, it neutralises all the other diseases i probably have:)

OD is 3" 76mm ID is 2.75" bmc inlet and outlet is 3.34" or 85mm so 85 to 76mm reducing connector you need or near as damn it

It made it worse as i dropped the machine polishing to sort it out for her aswell, so double hit...£25 out of pocket and lost 3 hours on the vr6!! Feels like ive had a good day, i want to kick her in the fangita!!

do you have access to a power probe? they can be bought in basic form from ebay .. a cheap sealey 6v to say 24v tester is around £20 and is ideal for this sort of issue as you can test for power n neg plus you can earth something or power it up so can eliminate wiring issues and or faulty components. the coil could of crack due to excess current passing through and the heat damaged it so beware that there isnt an underlying fault .. personally id be careful where u go from here as miss placed power can damage more items ..

You learn which family members to help out and which ones to "assist" with cash for parts before hand. This is one of the reasons I steer clear of a lot of old friends and family. Something for nothing with a kick in the happy sack as a thank you.

I made one for my leon out a metal water bottle, worked mint. Vr bay is a bit tighter though. Only problem I see with running just a pipe is oil hitting the road.

They say the turn into their mum eventually

I didn't expect any labour cash at all, I'd never charge family for anything but also didn't expect to pay £25 to fix someone else's car!! Bloody mother in laws, at least their daughters don't end up like them usually, oh wait!!

i must be going to the wrong scrappies, only thing i end up with is either tetanus or herpes!!

Nice and easy. Job done! We'll done mate!

Warning: vr6oc does not condone tweaking your own nipples.

Sorry can you speak normal WTF is a "paremetric" there is no such thing ive tried google. Advising somebody to do something without knowing wtf they have cut is pointless and the thread is 3 months old now so im sure it has been sorted one way or another.

Ordered a set of these for the vr6 ) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What I had below!

I purchased one of the Alphabet Bay, Didnt use it as it required small Filter on the outlet. Just left it with the Pipe and filter hanging right below at back end of block. No Fumes!!!

Naaaa....Lol Run the Filter to atmostphere as he's doing now. BUT, get a long arse pipe and run it to the side of the wing or at the back of the block. It does clog up throttle when original piping is on.

Blue smoke on these tend to be Oil Stem Seals. You can have a look at the bottom end of block when you take the Head off. VR6 lump can take a beating. Normal cases are the stem seals mate. Puffs of Blue smoke at rear when taking off!! Ideally get them from VW (TPS), DO NOT get from EURO, coz theyre pretty shiiite dot com.

Or just disconnect Battery Terminals, Touch the Plus and Minus together for 30seconds. Resets.

erm in about a year when ive finished detailing mine! time consuming job but worthwhile i suppose.

Turbo is the way to go.Cool to hear that you are happy with the setup.

Disconnect the battery leave for 10 mins or so reconnect turn the ignition on U'll hear the steeper motor click a few times start it leave it to idle then all should be ok Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

well in true VR style i went to change the brakes today n wheel bearings and some pr*ck has rounded all the allen key head bolts off so we had a game removing them ... then found both rear calipers seized so after much swearing and having to removed the dust covers we got it all back together but obvs with no dust covers and knowing there fuc*ed wven though they went back eventually im gonna get some new ones .. plus ill get some second hand carriers n get um sanded down n painted so it all looks fresh ... plan for tomorrow is engine oil change n filter again .. its only done about 700 mi

Ye well my aim is to get my vr up an runnin for the next event as I'm new to the dub scene an really wanna go to some of these events they look awesome!!

I was thinking the same because it would be good for my turbo build but then I thought how many times will I crack in the future especially when I'm running a bit of boost? I could really do with the Golf being reliable lolSent from my LT26i using Tapatalk

Note : that forum is awesome I could read it forever

The whole car basically lol... Arches, inner and outer sills, floor pan (especially around the bungs) tend to be the worst places, patches on the boot, doors, petrol cap are common Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Its not that bad, I never want to do it again, but its not that bad lol
