    Congratulations mate! I believe you just purchased a very nice highline

    yeah that must be it... oh well i'll have to ring around. I don't think it needs 4 wheel alignment' date=' and to my knowledge the rears aren't adjustable anyway?! [ Edited Thu Sep 09 2004, 11:53PM ']

    okay, i went to somewhere near stoke when i was at uni in stafford and it cost £60 but they couldn't adjust the steering wheel because of the airbag apparently. I'm back home in Loughborough (Leics) now.

    My local VW want £115! Is that right? My car pulls to the left all the time, and the front passenger side wheel is out of camber for some reason and leans out of the wheel arch slightly. And my steering wheel doesn't sit straight I've heard only VW have the tools necessary to reset the steering wheel with airbag?

    I know what you mean, in between my VR being poorly and costing me loads, it brings a huge smile to my face when u smoothly accelerate first thing in the morning and hear that sweet six pot song as you pull away from the house

    I wouldn't be bothering myself with the dealer service I just want to keep it Full VW because to claim on the anti corrosion warranty I was told the car would have to have FVWSH. Got rust

    On the positive reviews of Stealth racing, I'm going to book my VR in for: 1. A new exhaust, probably the Supersprint with letterbox style tip as mine is finally blowing on the original system. 2. Along with my front brakes looked at (again!!! - though not by Stealth) for brake judder, so new discs and pads plus perhaps new calipers? God knows what the problem is, been looked at by the dealers 4 times, and a VW specialist, all they seem to do is fit new discs and pads. So hopefully Stealth maybe able to find the underlying problem to cause premature disc warping! They last about 4 months befor

    All depends on anyone actually being gullible to do it, I sent out a similar one just out of curiosity, that was a month ago, and had nothing since. But then I never actually paid the £3 to the top guy anyway, there is no way anyone knows if you yourself paid the £3. Good luck though, let us know if you get anything!!

    Okay the new Pioneer AVIC-X1 is what I really want, yet it costs £1399 in the UK!!! :@ But in the USA the same unit but named the AVIC-N1 is available for £815 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=67772&item=5714435488&rd=1&ssPageName=WD2V So what difference are there going to be except for the DVD maps being of North America? Will RDS work here etc? I'm sure I can source a Europe DVD map disc for not much money! [ Edited ]

    Hey since moving back from Uni, I don't know of any VR6 or even VAG meets in the East Midlands, so any of you from this lovely region!?
  12. Glyn Mk3
    It is an option, has all the info on it in the owners manual, wouldn't mind it myself on long motorway trips!

    Rusty VR's

    Glyn Mk3 replied to Coddy's topic in General Chat

    It's an 11 year warranty on rust if you have a a fully galvanised body. I have FVWSH so I'm gonna try and get it done under warranty! I have rust on the rear door hinge thing like binliner, and along the bottom of the other rear door.

    Hey I've got the same issue, somethings blowing on my exhaust, not sure where yet but I know I need a new exhaust as the original is still there and looking very corroded! Which part numbers is it for a full supersprint system, keeping it legal (doesn't a de-cat pipe fail MOT?)? Also, will the GTI back box be the same as the VR6 version (different part numbers though!)?? Thanks!
  15. Glyn Mk3
    Is that a towing bolt visible Like the rear end and exhaust though! Mine still has it's original exhaust on... 7 years Need to save for a nice new shiny one!
  16. Glyn Mk3
    Does this mean Ford Galaxy VR6s are allowed to meets? !amazed
  17. Glyn Mk3
    I had my vr lowered about 3 months ago, and the coilovers provide a very stiff ride but the handling is much better! However how low have you got your's lowered?? As you can see I would clearly scuff the front splitter if I moved any further forward, not ideal having to stop short in many parking spaces... I'm sounding all practical now lol !amazed

    mpg on vr

    Glyn Mk3 replied to j7dub's topic in General Chat

    I get around 38mpg at 60-70mph on long stretches and 30-32 doing 80-90. Rest of the time it's between 15-26 around town. Did 100 for about 30 mins and it came up as 27mpg... doesn't sound too bad

    I just put my Rockford 12" Punch sub back in, and tested for rattles. The boot area really rattles from outside, quite embarrasing as Mark said! So today I took the boot door card off and set about determining which bits are rattling. I found it was the plastic recepticles which the door card clips slot into. So I got some rubber plastic sealant and went around each of the plastic recepticals! Boot lid rattle now gone, plus my number plate is glued on using foam pads. However now I can hear rattles around the sides of the rear bumper!! GRRR Not sure how to deal with this one!!

    All I have to say on this is, Nice Sig! and also it's quite clear there are FAR more males on this site than females

    Mine has the back door hinge rust problem too, only on the offside though. Also has a 50p coin sized rust spot on the bottom edge of a rear door. mine is a '97 highline! Can't believe it, didn't spot it when I bought it in Sep '03. Oh well. As for build quality, I agree with the previous comments, it seems just to be the plastics etc used. Much more agreable than a '93 Golf GL I used to drive.

    No tramlining at all, handling is fine, until the brakes are applied! then the steering wheel will start to shake
  23. Glyn Mk3
    Mine's had Magnetec 10W 40 from new, just topped it up at the weekend with a litre or two Tried using optimax for about 3 months, then went back to normal Shell unleaded and I'm getting much better mpg, even got 38mpg the other day doing a constant 55-60 for an hour!
  24. Glyn Mk3
    Thanks for the advice guys Looks like I'll be booking it in soon! Probably go with Midland VW as I've had good experiences there so far.

    When I called VW the tensioner parts (excl. chain) came to no more than £30 for the later versions.
