  1. Anyone have a step by step guide on how to fit one to my VR? [ Edited ]
  2. Well you would have though the VR6 would be much heavier due to the size and sturdyness of it
  3. I have just weighed my VR on the works weighbridge. It had 1/4 tank of fuel in her and the usual crap in the boot. The weight was...................... 1180KG! I thought that was very light for a VR. My car has no air con though so this will help. Before you ask the weighbride is very accurate as our customers get charged on its value. It goes up in steps of 20kg. Scott
  4. Im going to get an induction kit soon, I have a miltec sports exhaust so what next? Scott
  5. Im thinking of buying a de cat pipe for my 96 VR6. Few questions to the guys in the know:- Are these any good? Any decent gains to be had by fitting one? Will I have to reset the ECU? Where and what price to pay? Thanks Scott
  6. Thant would be great Mick Keep us posted
  7. The symptoms on my VR6 are the water temp needle will get upto half way when in traffic, on the open rd it will only go upto 1/4 of the way up the guage. Oil temp will not go above 85 degC Water should sit at 90 all day long when warmed up and oil between 94-104 depending on how you drive.
  8. After braking my Pug 205TD work hack im thinking of wiping the slate clean and getting anothe Golf. I need a turbo diesel as I have 80 mile round trip to work. So I would prefer a mark 2 GTD but these are very rare, how do the mark 3 TDi's drive? What kind of milage can they do? What kind of price should I pay? I dont want a mint example but it has to be reliable and relativly clean. All coments welcome Scott
  9. After spending much cash on a new coil pack for my VR6 its running nice. Apart from the coolant and oil temp is not getting up to running temp. Looking back on previous posts its seems the thermostat is faulty. Im going to get one of these soon but where should I get it from eithe VW or GSF (can you recomend me any more places)? Does anyone know the aprox cost of the thermostat? Also are there any guides on changing these on the Net? I have changed one on a 205 but never the VR. Thnaks Scott [ Edited ]
  10. Well I would like a peformance increase, but I would also make my VR sound better, does the BMC CDA do this? Are they a pain to fit? Scott
  11. What milage are our engines good for if cared for? I bet the yanks have done some mega milages would like to know some figures Does the VR6 engine loose performance with age or does it just get better? Scott
  12. Im thinking of getting an induction kit. Which one is bes t for noise and power out put? Thanks Scott
  13. UPDATE! The company got the leads in but it was not the problem. The problems was the distributer box needed changing, more expense its done now though. Thanks for all your help!
  14. I have been looking for a haynes manual and found out they do not do one for the VR6, so what do you lot use or are you all trained VW techies? Scott
