I tried looking for this last night (in the dark and on my own) - anyone got a pic/engine hot of where exactly i'm supposed to look? As I look down the back, I see the exhaust to me left and the abs unit on the back to my right (leaning over the engine) - I look down and see a few bolts...?

I have an auto VR6 and it's abit slower of the lights but the induction noise makes up for that. I get about 25 MPG on mine, and since owning it (touch wood) ain't had a problem (just hit 100K).

Lowering my Mk3 VR6 by just replacing the standard springs with stiffer ones? I've bought some H&R lowering springs as I want to make the ride look nice and low. When I drive the car I think it needs uprated shocks to help stop the lean over round corners, but as my wife drives the car everyday and she doesn't thrap it round corners or roundabouts is it worth the extra couple of hundred quid?

Found this on awesome GTI: http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/store/product.php xProd=3662&xSec=135 Looking at purchasing for my Golf VR6.. any good? It doesn't specify anywhere what model it's for and everywhere i've read say to go for one that says VR6 as it's a different setup on the front?
