    cheers mate .... thats a great clip ..... im sure they did a skit on the actual show about the golf vr6 when it came out .... i may contact top gear
  2. vr6highline28
    sorry to put a boring slant on this thread .... is there anything wrong in terms of performance (not noise !) of actually fitting a standard vw vr6 exhaust ?? just wondered as mine will be ready soon for replacement !
  3. vr6highline28
    the absolute best guide im aware of is the bentley manual for the mk3 golf including the vr6 - its for the american market though differs little from the uk spec - its basically a vw workshop manual - it includes the exact service requirements for each model and when they need doing - bit pricy but make haynes (which dont cover the vr6) look like cartoon books !!!

    i'm sure top gear did a review on the vr6 (i mean the tv show not a writeup on their website !) and vaguely recall seeing this a few years ago - probably around 1992/3 - does anyone know where i can access this from or indeed find out if it exists ???? cheers

    i wish i had stayed a bit longer - got caught up in real bad traffic on way to chatsworth house ! nice to meet you and see you at harewood house next month - cheers - Adrian (the bloke with the standardish highline !)

    HOPE YOU GUYS ALL TURNING UP ! JUST BOUGHT ME TICKET !!!
  7. vr6highline28
    please put me down for that one - was an excellent show last year with lots of varied cars
  8. vr6highline28
    hello mate - what sort of turnout do you get at chatsworth ? im just down the road so might bring the highline along
  9. vr6highline28
    yep agreed in fact theres little dfference between the v6 4motion and the mk4 r32 apart from different styling ... basically any golf with a v6 engine in it is gonna go well !
  10. vr6highline28
    can definitely vouch that the 4motion is no quicker in a straight line than a vr6 in standard form - must be the power / weight ratio !!

    I've just reinsured with Admiral - they do allow most mods though the catch is that if you make a claim they will only pay out to put the car back to standard manufacturers spec - they do make this clear on the internet or if you call them up - so assuming your car isn't fully loaded with mods then they seem pretty good value - i've paid £ 254 all in fully comp with lowered suspension - one of the advantages of being an old git ! if you have a second car they do a very cheap multicar policy and I got my Mk2 8 valver TPFT for £ 160 which is nowt

    the vr still did pretty well for its age and im sure the build quality is better !

    i'm sending her down the gym now for when my other arm gets trapped ............

    changed the oil and filter on the vr yesterday and noticed some oil on the engine on the right hand side which went down to near the sump plug - none of this oil has actually dripped onto the garage floor so im not too concerned about it - any ideas what this may be as couldnt see any obvious place where it had come from !!! cheers

    .... no i'm not a boy racer (far too old for that now) and normally take it pretty steady - last night i ended up trying to keep up with a cupra 'r' which i must admit was marginally pulling away (to be expected for 225 bhp car 7 years younger !) from the lights up an incline - after a while i started gaining on it (once doing about 90+ (private road of course !) - obviously he may have eased off though i've found it hard to find any suitable mid-range figures to compare - anyone got any ideas ? by the way i dont care that the cupra is a faster car - its just for interest !
  16. vr6highline28
    oh and not that i'm anti-police (far from it) but if you come in on J29 of the m1 there is often an unmarked maroon vauxhall omega in that area - its distinctive as its so old ! (an X-plate)
  17. vr6highline28
    may pop along if i'm about as live in chesterfield - just a quick warning to anyone travelling there through chesterfield from the m1 as between chessie and chatsworth there is often a mobile speed camera parked up past the 'highwayman' pub where the road goes into a gentle bend and slightly downhill (after you've left chesterfield) ... just to let you know as I've seen it there many times !

    my girlfriend tried to smash the glass 4 times with a torque wrench and unbelieveably the glass didnt give way - only 4 tiny scratches showing ! i think that proves how desperate i was getting !!!
  19. vr6highline28
    lol .......... nah his sounded real good !!!
  20. vr6highline28
    not sure what make the alloys were but looked similar style to those on an r32 - the lad driving it was white aged about 25 to 35 - i wasnt in my highline (was in the new beetle my girlfried and i have) - was gonna pop over and have a chat but he sped off !!! nice car though

    was driving back from manchester to chesterfield and stopped at a garage about half way - there was a mulberry highline which when it pulled away sounded awesome - was this you ? if so what exhaust did you have on it since it sounded great unlike those knaff scooby ones - if you know what i mean !

    cheers sanky - hand still a bit iffy but should get the feeling back eventually ! i still cant believe the force behind the window ........ on the Thatcham 1 issue thats an interesting point as my alarm is a factory fitted conlog (?) system which has the cat 1 bit ticked on the installation certificate - luckily my insurance only asks if an alarm is fitted (not whether Cat 1 etc) so shouldn't be a problem though certainly worth considering for the future !

    i'm using the tesco 99 ron in my vr6 which has now appeared in the sheffield area and can honestly say cant tell any difference performance wise though its definitely getting more miles from a tank now - we also use it in our 2.0 L Beetle and the economy has improved noticeably from about 300 ish from a full tank to nearly 350 miles
  24. vr6highline28
    i know not the cleverist thing to do ! was trying to retrieve something left on the dashboard - my fault but more concerned for accidents if children about - the car is a '97 model highline - i still dont have full feeling in my hand and it was over a week ago !
  25. vr6highline28
    sounds stupid but was working on my car and set the closure alarm (factory fitted Thatcham 1 job) - the drivers window automatically closed and i (bizarrely !) got my arm caught between the window and door frame near the wrist - i couldn't believe that the motor was continuing to try and shut the window and the force on my wrist caused me to lose all circulation into my hand meaning the hand contracted on its on ! i tried to reverse the alarm but the window still kept pressing - no joke the force of it was quite unbelieveable and i could not release my arm at all - got it sorted by a neighbour
