Hello Can anyone tell me if the mk3 golf vr6 is supposed to have a weight mounted on the gear box linkage Mine hasn't which may be the reason my lever feels so odd

Thank you I'll get one fingers crossed it fixes my issue

The screw is just for holding it lined up with the bolt holes

Had some help today my little rascal decided to help me stone chip the sills n rear aches .. Put the skirts back on .. Got an issue with the drivers door dropping so new pins from VW this week aslong as they still do them ... Plus I had to make a " modification " to one of my intake pipe for a re circ for the catch tank as it was venting to atmosphere so was pointless ... Plus filling the cabin with fumes . Found a rip in the carpet so I'll be buying a new one lol . Sunroof next payday n need to fabricate a few things ... It's got to me a touch this week but soon as I get a little van for work

Alot of it is driving technique-learning how to use the throttle-for example when travelling at a set speed, backing off throttle a touch will keep you at set speed but reduce fuel consumption-but it sounds like you know what you're doing driving wise. I'd be doing the basics: Making sure tire treads are good, matched and correct pressure Servicing - full Make sure tracking is set correctly-even a tiny bit out will effect. Loose as much weight as possible-all junk, ,unessasary items. Good quality fuel Making sure the car is up to operating temperature - a sticky thermostat can drop mpg as the

I've got a telescopic magnet because I'm always dropping nuts and bolts and things where I can't get to so I bought that lol Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk

Its easy enough mate, just make sure all your timing marks are in place, remove your chain tensioner, lift the chain off your cams, unbolt your cam and lift out then I used a magnet to lift the lifters out. Its as simple as that Sent from my GT-N8010 using Tapatalk

Sorry I had to pull out guys all due to my cylinder head being cattled trucked and not being able to replace it before the show Sent from my GT-N8010 using Tapatalk

hi has anyone here actually fitted a V5 gearbox? if so what was the benifit? was the speedo accurate and did you loose too much top end? PS im sure this topic has come up but cant find these answers i need thanks guys

Big difference. get a diesel 5th fitted.. perfect motorway car and ridiculous acceleration as well..

Hmmm, I'll research all options-thanks guys! Looking forward to a few weeks time, as well as my main job, I also have my own little business selling cars part time and it's typically fallen that at the moment my cars I have for sale all have work being done-once all are done I can stop using the VR and start the proper restoration/modifications can start

I think someone on vortex did it once. Supposedly lose low down and get more at the top. I guess it all depends how much difference your hoping it'll make. Realistically you'll never know till you have a go, you could always get one second hand, try it, and if it's not much cop flog it on? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

No mate I'm going turbo , but realistically there wouldn't be an issue running a shorter intake on an a n/a anyways Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Run with the expansion cap off as far as I'm aware unless anyone else knows different? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Swap the bulbs for mot, problem solved

its gotta come back out tomorrow or tuesday to sort the heater flaps out properly as least i got luke warm heaters but i want HEAT ... people say about using HVAC aluminium tape but i was going to cover the holes with sheet metal .. just either tack weld it on or self tapper it over the holes?

the flow of water looked interrupted and looked like it had got small bubbles of air .. i had also heard that the water pumps have plastic impellers so to squash the theory that it was cooling enough for a short while but the impeller had sheared off ... i removed it .. whilst it was off as i ddint know the millage i replaced it ... as a precaution and for future smooth running.... I fixed the problem anyways now .. it was the NEW thermostat that i had fitted only days ago ... i replaced it with a Genuine item at a cost of £26 and and problem solved... also changed the matrix but will

well little update... i picked up my GTI for parts and returned the VR6 interior back into working condition plus i fitted the headlights and fixed all the wiring ... fixed the dropped drivers door. fixed the handles n locks .. fixed the electric mirror .. only thing left is the welding .. re fit the skirts and fix the oil leak from the oil cooler housing ... then its TURBO TIME

ye its still on i gotta take the advert down as ive pretty much talked myself into keeping it
