  1. Any idea what they cost from the stealers or the magnecore alternatives? I must admit I've had magnecores on my old 8v and never had any trouble.
  2. What a d**k!! Cant even drive it in a straight line, like you say clearly shouldn't have been behind the wheel of it...
  3. So the golf I brought turned up with leads that literally fell to pieces, so I need to order some more. Basically I just don't wanna buy more of the same. So do I just go to the stealers and get raped, or does anyone have any positive experience with say GSF/ECP or another patern part. Not really looking to spend a fortune on 'performance' leads unless someone got a damn good reason why lol. Thanks in advance!
  4. I thought the later ones were galvanised?
  5. Ok mate, well if you decide to drop me a pm and we'll sort a price.
  6. You selling the 268's?
  7. My mk2 I sold with around 150k on, and the mk3 I've just brought has 138k. Can't say I'm that phased as you say they're awesome engines!!
  8. Compression test it to be sure mate, at least you'll know where you stand then.
  9. Vince @ Stealth it pretty well known. Bit I know united Motorsport sponsor the site so probably know their way around? Where Are you based?
  10. Couldn't hurt eh? How long till ones wedged into a mk2/3 lol?
  11. Well I agree I doubt we'll see a twin turbo 500hp fire spitting version hit the forecourt but if they've developed a new vr6 they'll have to use it somewhere. So surely a n/a version will appear in something.
  12. Ok so I'm not a premium member but I thought I'd offer my feedback. 1) No 2) Nothing I try to post here and there. I guess I just read a lot more than I post. 3) I've only recently come back into vr6 ownership, and it's been a long time since I've been to any shows/events. I would have come to the RR day if the car was back together. 4) handy to have somewhere to come and chat vr and get advise etc
  13. Don't know if anyone else has seen this?? How cool would it be to see a new vr6 developed! Especially since everything's a poxy 4 pot these days! http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/scoop/vws-new-496bhp-30-litre-vr6-engine
  14. Pretty sure reversing lights are not a mot requirement mate.
  15. I had a similar thing with mine. Looked like the internal sensor box had shorted. Once I removed that everything was roses!
  16. Bad luck mate, been there myself. Hey Pete, how about some sneak peak shots through out the day for those of us that couldn't make it? Maybe to the Facebook page or something?
  17. Oops that's the 3 door but they have 5 door too http://www.eurowagens.com/en/vw/golf-3-vento/body-parts/wheel-arch-repair-panel-vw-golf-mk3-5door-near-side.html
  18. 1 minute on google found this http://www.eurowagens.com/en/vw/golf-3-vento/wheel-arch-repair-panel-vw-golf-mk3-3door-near-side.html Just searched mk3 golf rear arch repair.
  19. You can get a pretty well sorted 328i for that with plenty of change.
  20. Well that's what I spent ages reading about earlier but it's just a shitstorm of people arguing over whether its the same or not lol Thanks for the info.
  21. Hi All, I've seen a few of you mention aligning your throttle bodies after maintenance on the engine and disconnecting the battery etc. Since my car is currently in pieces while i renew a few things and fit my 6 branch I figured it couldn't hurt to do this when its back together. However looking through and searching the forums I can't see a guide? I've Googled it and all i get is loads of arguments whether or not you can do it without VAG-COM. So I guess my question is can you? Not to open a can of worms just looking for a yes or no really. Also if no does anyone know what the open door and
  22. Isn't the buzzer for high and low pressure? First thing I'd do is get a pressure gauge on it. Don't want to scrap your engine!
  23. I must admit i thought if it was that easy to get a extra 10hp surely it'd be the first thing we all did.
  24. Binned one last week.... Shame you didn't say earlier!
  25. Give us a discount then Vince!
