    started the job, went really wrong and i ended up breaking the top timing chain tensioner by accident lol, so in the end i removed the gearbox, end engine cover and am replacing the timing chains and guides aswell, might aswell replace the clutch while ive got the gearbox off

    not sure mate, the only answer is the emissions result, it could be ok but as i said you'll only really know with the emissions test, im guess you mean it soaked the inside of the cat as it makes no difference if its on the outside I fitted koni coilovers to mine and i love them but only ever heard good things about the H&R stuff let us know how your mot went

    yeah the reader coil has to have the key in it so it knows its the correct key

    you want to make them 2.5 inches wider??? there aint that much surely in a wheel to make it 9x15. as above it was banned because of the danger

    no worries m8y have a look in the members section on the chain replacment guide
  11. Chrisdut
    the chains will need doing when they start to rattle, you can hear them rattling on the right hand side(gearbox side) of the engine, it isn't the actual chains that rattle its the guides wear out so the chain becomes loose, they seem to last till 100k or even more sometimes, but depending on past servicing it might need it earlier hope this helps

    its very easy to tell if you don't have compression, when you turn the key the engine turns over but it doesnt even attempt to start, then it builds up and eventually it starts, dont think its a fuel or spark issue but a compression issue, the valves only have to be open slightly for it to loss compression and i mean only ever so slightly, as working in a vw garage i put it on the diagnostic machine today and the only fault was voltage low and throttle valve basic settings fault so its a mechanical fault somewhere, cleared these so we'll see what happens, got the new tappets today, cleaned the
  13. Chrisdut
    at least give us a reason what else you think could be the fault lol
  14. Chrisdut
    yeah they do work on oil pressure but they stay open and can stick to far open when knackered, well im getting then tomoz and hopefully sort it out soon
  15. Chrisdut
    why not?? at least give a reason lol plus being a mechanic myself the cause would give the exact symptoms i have, starts fine, rev then cuts out and then no compression for 5-6 secs then starts with misfire so what do you think is the cause, oh and if i dont rev it to about 3 k it will run fine so it aint plugs or leads or a coil pack, it aint head gasket or rings or valves
  16. Chrisdut
    if you going to do the chain's etc you might as well fit a new clutch while the box is out

    did it again today and didnt rev it too 4k this time, which isnt that highly rev'd anyway lol, it happened again and again. Luckly there is a bloke now working in our garage that used to work for an engine rebuild company so he came out and had a look at it with me, as soon as i described my fault and he saw it happen he said "hydraulic tappets sticking to far open" Sounds right to me and with the amount of them he has done in his time at his previous job it makes perfect sense, it totally lose's all its compression after cutting out, tappets stuck open to much so valves open slightly which ca

    Hi all, ive had an intermittant misfire with my vr6 for a while, it will start first time no worries but if i rev it to say about 4k and let the throttle off it will just cut out dead, now most of the time it will restart after 5 or seconds but will idle with a miss fire for a while and then clear off to noraml running on 6, now today was another matter, it cut out as i approched a set of lights after i rev'd it to see if it would happen today(silly me lol) but when trying to restart it it felt completely like it had no compression, i even had to put my hazards on because it wouldn't start but

    it wont fail, trust me im a mot tester
  20. Chrisdut
    it wont fail on the rear wiper m8, it aint part of the test nice tread
  21. Chrisdut
    block the front of the siren nice and tight with rags, remove battery, it will still go off but if you block it enough it wont sound anyway near as bad
  22. Chrisdut
    it might have a thing called limp home mode but aint sure, if its still missing when you rev it, disconnect the AFM and see if it improves, works on the later models ie mk4 etc, also could be leads hope this helps
  23. Chrisdut
    no bullshit mate, vw say 1 litre of oil to 1000km's so about 650ish miles, mercedes are the same and prob most other car makers are the same
  24. Chrisdut

    always a useful answer lol, nah it isnt a turbo'd engine, but most people fit supercharger to them, do a search on the forum.
