    Hi again. i OWN A 97 VR6, pulling from stand still, the car will judder and even backfire somtimes until the revs get higher. the car does not seem like the monster it once was. In the warmer weather i thought the problem was cured. Any ideas. Thanks

    I have put some mk4 style headlight on my mk3 vr6. They work, but i get huge beams of light out from the side and above. Anyone else had this problem? Cheers N

    Hey guys, just a quickie that i thought i would never come across. Is this a common problem? I have a standard mk3 Golf Vr6 with an uprated Milltek exhaust, and now that im lowering on coilovers it seems to be sandwiching itself between the underneath of the car and the axle. The car is low, but would like to go more, but as its knocking already will it go from bad to worse? Cheers.

    Hi Guys, ED38 show last weekend was a great turn out, and all the cars there as ever, were top class!! I have a question for all you low riders out there, my mK3 is on coilovers, and when i come to slam it, the camber is put out and wears down the tyres. But how come no garage, can adjust the camber on REALLY low cars. There must be a way, any ideas? Cheers N

    Hi guys, again!! My car has been pulling to the left for about a year and no garage has a clue, and it driving me insane. Went into another garage today, and they swapped the rear tyres to the front and the front to the back, and got worse to the point it was pulling the steering wheel. Swapped back again and got better, but still pulls.....what the hell is going on? The camber and tracking is spot on aswell. Please help Neil

    Hi Guys. Have gone through a front pair of tyres in less than 6 months. Had the tracking & camber done b4 tyres, but still drifts to the left v badly. The car is v low on fk coilovers and I just wondered if the lowness is the prob, and if so what can be done to enjoy a low car without going through tyres. Hope you can help Neil

    Hi guys!! I’m getting a loud humming noise in the car I think it may be a wheel bearing (what else could it be?) How can I tell which one has gone? Is there an signs? And finally is it a job for a garage or can I do it as my garage charged £80. +vat which I think is steep. Hope you can help Neil

    Hi Guys Ive been told that on my '97 vr6 there is an anti-thrash sensor to stop it being reved when it is cold. As I start it when cold and rev it it will not reach 6000rpm but come down and get all chuggy until warm. Have you heard of such a thing? Neil

    Hi. Does anyone know for sure how low you can go on KONI coilovers? Neil

    Hi Guys, I thought aftermarket exhausts should be the same bore diameter as the manufacturer? I was thinking about getting a Milltek but the bore is smaller, now im swaying to a Jetex as the bore is the same 2.5inch. How important is this? Cheers Neil

    Hi again Guys! Sorry to keep asking all these questions but am new to all this exhaust talk. Need a new exhaust and cat but the high flow cats are almost £300 but decat pipes are only £80, is there a great deal of difference between them. Also changing the cat over once a year how hard is this do do yourself at home? Cheers again! Neil

    Hi guys, what coilovers do you recommend? I am after some coilovers that are fully adjustable, ride and height, but will also lower the car a long way. Some coilovers go to 70mm but im sure they drop more than that. Cheers Neil

    Pleeeeease help, I own a 97 VR6 and lately the interior creak is out of control it sounds as if every panel is creaking and i dont know where to start. The car has after market suspension braces underneath ( could that be it?), But why is it all of a sudden its so bad? Has anyone else suffered this dreadful creaking? Hope you can help Neil

    Hi guys Im losing coolant but yet not over heating! Pressure is building up and bursting out the top of the cap and also leaking from somewhere onto the gearbox, the fan cuts in at the right time. Ive been warned this could be a gasket leak, but surely if that was true the car would run bad all the time, but doesn't. Hope you can help Thanks Neil
  23. NEILX5
    Cheers mate! How used is it and where are u based?

    Does anyone know a resonable place to buy a new cat for a mkIII golf vr6, without ending up bankrupt? Cheers Neil

    Hi there, Just wondered when the cambelt should be changed on my MKIII VR6? My service book says 60k for TDI & SDI only, and VW said the VR6 normally gets changed at 100k. Is this true if so why is that (does it have a tougher belt?) Thanks Neil
