Bought an aircon pipe from mattvr6 a great help and a good price thanks

Do it!! I was threatened with divorce if I bought one, but it was a gamble I was more then prepared to take Shame she didn't go through with it when I turned up with a nice white 6R

In between the rain,hail thunder and bits of sunshine today I've got the engine bay cleaned up a bit so it matches the rest of the car! Got rid of some of the cavity wax on the chassis legs, horrid stuff! Here's a before and after of the inner wing; Even cleaned and polished the inside of the bonnet; Did it by getting a bit brave with the jet wash,some thinners on the cavity wax,finished off with a bit of engine laquer, so now it's a bit closer to the finish of the rest of the car; The car got a bit wet for the first time much to my annoyance! But got a lovely bit of beading; Sent from my i

well over fueling will more than likely cause bore wash .. as said contaminated oil is useless as it cannot do the job it needs too.. personally id put it back how it was hen it was working fine ... as changed the oil ASAP and run a stabilizer like the Lucas products ... hope for the best .. why did u run the recirc without it being plumed back in the other side ive gotta ask >?

My mates trying to find his old mk2 vr6 he built and wonders if its still about possibly look at buying it back its a white mk2 3door H843 YEC Any info would br much appriciated thanks

no im sure the black one is used for torqueing the wheel nuts! the red one is a really small bottle of kethup and the silver one is for sizing spanners

thats some garage that,no time for watching the tv though if theres a garage below it! love a good painted floor pete! mines just a patchwork of oil and petrol stains!

this is the main thing.. people don't realise what a huge difference tyres and fuel makes. They have drag tyres in most tyre shops out there. I used some 76 high octane fuel in an old 1.9 gti Engineering mk2 years ago when we had that fuel shortage crap, MY GOD what a different car !!! and I was mixing it as well.. Stick some street legal drag tyres on a car here and some high octane fuel and see the times fall..

I appreciate what you're saying lukey. I think it's one of those hurdles you shit yourself about jumping but once you've jumped and you're on the other side it'd make you wonder what all the fuss was about in the first place. I fully expect to repaint mine at some stage, just not quite yet. It would be one of those OCD things that her indoors will bollock me for big time! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's a vibration damper.

Flipping ell! I Thought this was screen shots from one of those hoarders programmes first time I looked!!!! What a transformation! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah enjoy driving her.. always buying new toys. Trust me it's going to help leaps n bounds to have a stand. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

I have heard of MAF sensors being affected afterwards but as Lukey said I think that's from over-oiling. I also saw somewhere that people "pre-suck" (technical term) them with a vacuum!

Thing is you could get hit in any car you drive, weather it's a 500 run around or a tasty rs4. Sourcing a door (sounds like daveyboy, already has and sorting out the few patches your self sounds like the option I would choose. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'd love just a garage like yours Pete. Well one attached to my house to save the ball ache of goin to my folks place all the time to work on the golf Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk

To me it's all about how a car feels, I love my vr6 it feels special and not everyone has them, although I don't drive mine everyday I still get excited to drive it I'm 28 btw lol I've driven all sorts of cars but non make me smile like my vr do Witg the exception of an r32 golf Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The automatic gearbox has its own ecu for learning the way you drive think its under the rear seat but not 100% sure.You will need pedals clutch master etc. Not heard of anybody actually doing it but a few people have asked. If it were me I would swap the loom from a manual into it but that's obviously quite a lot of work unless you were doing a respray at the same time, unless your shell is 100% I would think of selling and buying a manual

It simply will not work, to run constant 4wd the car MUST run 3 differentials; the middle of which must be the driven on.Your plan only consists of 2; and introducing a third is impossible. Also the BMW and VAG ratios are different. This will snap the propshaft

Very similar to mine, but with GT30 instead of GT35 and Emerald management instead of DTA. He'd be into the 11s easily if his high boost settting could be put down to the tarmac!
