    i am going to get under the car, and see what i can make of it. I've driven it, and it hesistates and holds back at times, it doesn't sound to healthy when started up,my head is still swaying towards a head rebuild

    i had the same problem, don't buy the GSF thermostat as once replaced, 2 months later i had the same problem. But as said by the others its the thermostat..Its basically not opening and allowing the coolant to go through. I think it opens at 80-something degrees.

    Hi there guys, I've been told that the VR suffers from a common problem, which is that the oil cooler can give up/have a cracked gasket which can cause it to mix the oil and water? Can some one shine some light on this, as i don't know the full story. My problem I am loosing coolant, mayo in my oil cap, and steam out the back, all that is telling me its the Cylinder head which has given up or is about too. But i've been told to look at the oil cooler as that could be the cause. Is that true?? As i am loosing engine oil from somewhere, over a few days or so its drained out to nothing.. Any id

    taking what xyber said i will go and check with my MOT centre if a CAT is required or is it ok without a cat as long as it passes the emissions test... if thats the case i'm going decat pipe i am starting to think more and more that my cat is not working, and stopping the fumes to get out, so my performance is very back and there is hardly no responce.
  9. Charged vr6
    ok cool, if my cat is gone, i think i will just put a decat pipe on there, will do my Charger some good i guess.
  10. Charged vr6
    ok cool, and the decat pipe etc can be made by a exhaust shop or will i need to get one from somewhere .. ?
  11. Charged vr6
    ok thanks for that web site, cleared it up quite well... I'm just thinking if i find out my cat is blocked via the VAGCOM, i will go down to top gear or someone who can cut the cat off and put a pipe there, basically the lambda sensor has to be lodged into that pipe to get a readying ?? or can you do without the lambda sensor?
  12. Charged vr6
    Isn't a catalytic converter a must to pass MOT on a 1995 car? Also if you stick a pipe there instead of a cat, where would the lambada sensor go :S?
  13. Charged vr6
    what about the powerflow performance cats? (they are about 150-170) what about a cat- bypass ? how does that work? going around the original cat with a pipe :S???
  14. Charged vr6
    i think i will get a VAGCOM done first before i take off the bumper to get to the MAF, just incase its fine and its something else. I am suspecting a blocked Cat :S...As i can smell it at times, even when the car hasn't really even been pushed hard...also my fuel consumption is high, its drinking fuel like its a ferrari.. When changing my plugs, i noticed oil, and have been told its a Rocker Cover which needs to be replaced. 1) Will the VAGCOM tell me if my cat is blocked and needs changing? 2) Whats the way forward of like getting around the CAT? how much does it cost etc? thank you guys.
  15. Charged vr6
    oh yeh, i'll have a look at the throttle body and give it a clean ..

    hi there guys, thanks for the responce, i have changed the oil + oil filter. Its taken 5 litres and i still need to buy some more and top it up, i thought 5L would be enough :S... I've change the coil pack, the plugs shall be put in tomorrow.. The leads i shall change last, if needed. Where is the oil line feed situated? How do i check if its clear and clean? (sorry don't know to much about the Vortech supercharger, as i had a Z-engineering supercharger before) It does use a MAF, its in a fiddly tricky place lol, right behind the indicator light i think. But i am able to get to it and take it

    it was fitted roughly about 2 years ago, so i was thinking either way filling her up with oil as she is low, changing the spark plugs and leads myself. do you know what oil i should use? I will leave the supercharger checking to vince.
  18. Charged vr6
    so you have done diagnostics? and there have been no error codes :S...personally i would check leads, plugs, MAF, hall sender (coil pack) and even the oxegen sensor (lamb sensor).. does it rev over 2,000 revs? if so does it judder all the way ?

    i was thinking of going down to stealth, but thought i would have a butchers myself first and then go for the fine ecu tunning and even take it up to a stage 2. (but don't know how much the stage 2 upgrade costs :S) But if anyone knows the best oil/grade to use with a supercharger setup and the best spark plugs etc.... many thanks in advance

    hi there guys, i have a vr6 highline, with 105k fitted with a Vortech v9 supercharger fitted at stealth racing. its stage 1. 1) What is the best oil to use with a supercharger? 2) How often do you need to replace the oil ? (As i suspect its using to much or leaking oil but see no leak, as the previous owner said he topped her up every 2 months) 3) When driving the car, it feels as it is holding back sometimes and sometimes it feels fine. I suspect a coilpack, leads, MAF... it also cuts out when coming to a halt somtimes. when driving on the motorway, say around 80mph and i put my foot down, i
