[poll] What do you think to these?
acf8181 replied to eViL's topic in Wheels, Brakes, Suspension and Steering
they're certainly very nice, but there's some nicer five spoke audi ones that come on the TT, or the 6 spoke ones that are o.e. on the S3 as well. -
i'm forever hitting mine (o.e.) on stuff...a couple of minor scrapes but no sign of damage. [ Edited Tue Jun 08 2004, 10:18AM ]

the standard bbs are nasty...i got some highline/colour concept 6 spoke bbs's for mine, loads go on ebay for upto £150 (i got mine for £100 - not on ebay tho). but please don't get them if you have a red vr6
-
-
you can also get o.e. ones from vw for about £20....i'd give you the part no but ETKA is on the other computer (by the way, if anyone wants a copy of ETKA for a small fee, PM me )

VR6 feels like it doesnt want to start
acf8181 replied to Jeff_VR6's topic in Engine Maintenance and Problems
well....i got givena red herring by the garage and it turned out to be the battery. theres a starter on ebay at the mo, they're £115 new. it doesn't look like that biug a job, but you have to support the engine. -
only manual worth buying is the bentely one...unfortunately it usually costs about £40. get it from amazon. it is really good though, apart from a few inacuracy's due to it being an american manual. [ Edited Mon Jun 07 2004, 10:50AM ]

the big cirular thing is the servo (basically power assistance for the brakes). there then a metal tube thingy with tubes coming off it under the fluid reservoir...this is the master cylinder.
-
ok, seems better with freash coolant...i guess there was some left in the block when the h/g was changed. i think i've found a leak from the expansion tank as well. gonna clean out the ISV later this week. its the thing under the cover by the TB and damper thing ain't it (i can't be bothered to dig out the bentley!). what do i do just spray some cleaning stuff all over/in it?
-
you been to see it yet binliner?
-
think all with the MFA do.
-
maybe they reckoned it was better to have the better hand operating the gearstick? and cars are of course now made in LHD as the majority of the world drives on the right.
-
yep it will be. remeber that most cars are designed as LHD' date=' then converted to RHD. so everything will be tidier on a LHD. RHD vauxhall nova's have a huge disadvantage over LHD as they coldn't be bothered to move the servo across and the linkeage they used instead has loads of play in it.

yep clocks....hopefully early one with about 120k on the odometer.
-
just hadf a look at the pics again...think i focused on the last two pics too much, which make it look tall! doesn't look bad in the first few. i'm not a fan of big wheels, however...at least you can get brembo's now (you know you wanna)
-
what would the total cost be with ten people buying then? (and does it include early plug adapter?)
-
how many litres does the vr6 need though?
-
you never stop learning...for example i only found out the other day that mkIII gti's lept the arch trim throughout (though they lost it on later models like the vr6 did)
-
great, that'll be more getting ripped off a vw!
-
only way to learn is to ask questions, and read stuff on here....thats what a forums for. (its not cgti, so you won't get slagged off! lol)
-
you buying new? crikey, they're silly money
-
looks very nice, but i'd have gone for 16"s as the car looks very 'tall' on them (nothing a bit of lowering won't sort out)
-
if you want a early vr6 spolier, i'd recomend getting a genuine one (eithewr new or from breakers)...a friends gsf one didn't last long at all (on a standard ride height car), my o.e. one rubs stuff with no probs.
-
no need to explain...if someone hasn't taught you stuff you don't know it right?
