  1. thankyou ill give the carb cleaner a go and then ask my mate to inspect the throttle position sensor and see waht he can do!! im not a mechanic by any means lol so was just wondering is the throttle sensor easy to locate?
  2. im really struggling to find out what is wrong with my car. i have a mk2 seat ibiza with a golf vr6 lump in it bored out to a 2.9! the problem i am having is that when i am going either slowish in 1st or 2nd or at a constant speed between 2k and 3k revs in other gears the car seems to lose power but then kicks back in. i can only really describe it as a kind of hiccup!! its as if the fuel is cut off or something and it just stops for a second and then bang it goes again. this can happen with a full tank of fuel, on a staight or around a roundabout and seems to be really random when it happens.
  3. hmmm well this is gonna sound strange lol. i was on my way to meet my mate with his vr and was passing a petty station and i had just below quarter of a tank left so thought id fill her up. having filled her up it drove fine!!!! therefore i couldnt change any bits as it was driving fine and i wouldnt be able to tell!! all the way from york to billing it was fine and then going round the 2nd to last roundabout it hesertaded again!! after this it got progressivly worse till i filled up!! so i thinking it has got to be something with fuel but its not as if im letting it run out of petrol, it se
  4. oh no ur kidding!!!! my leads are brand new magnecor ones and cost £100 on the plus side i can try that easily by swaping my leads from my mates vr
  5. will try all these tomorrow when i see my mate who is a mechanic!! after changing fuel pump etc he ran out of ideas so ill let him know these ones!! thanks liam
  6. oh should have said it doesnt do this when just reving the car it only does it under load!!
  7. i posted on here a while ago saying that my car was doing something strange!! basically it drives ok but then kinda hiccups!! it losses power(not as in battery power) and then it just comes back in with a thump! (kinda kangarooing if you go slowly) it only used to do this the odd time when flooring it but now its doing it all the time!! i have changed the fuel pump for a vr6 one, i have changed the spark plugs, fuel filter and cleaned the dizzy cap!! all of which havent worked ps my car is a seat ibiza mk2 and i have done the conversion myself, engine is a golf 2.8 bored out to a 2.9 with ga
  8. was just behind the vr6oc stand!!! just fitted my new front bumper on saturday as well
  9. im no mechanic mate but have recently fitted a vr to my mk2 ibiza which is almost the same car as a mk2 golf!!! this website was very helpfull try looking at this thread to see if it helps http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?114767.0#post_114878
  10. got on now thanks!! bog brothers is the place near me that i know about. just wanted to know if anyone has any experience of the power gains on a vr6
  11. link doesnt seem to be working mate. do i have to be a member to veiw it??
  12. yeh as above. alot of my mates have 2ltre 16v vee dubs or vauxhall motors and have fitted bike carbs to them and they go really well. there is also a place near me that does it and its half the price of a shrick manifold.
  13. is it possible to fit bike carbs to a vr6? if so has anybody fitted or know of anyone who has fitted them??
