  2. Hi there how you doing bought a full hose kit and have 2 hoses left any ideas where they go thanks again
  3. I have recently done this with my mk3 golf 8v and all i can say is that it is really easy to convert. you will need for the conversion everything at the front of the car full subframe is easiest method with everything attached. you will also need vr6 clocks gear lever housing as the vr6 is cables instead of rod change, it is easy to swap over if you are mechanical minded but the only problem about buying a used engine is you dont know how it runs till you get it all in. if you can hear it before then the better. if you need any advice on fitting dont hesiate to ask but it is easy to do. wiring
  4. my vr6 when hot starts up the idle speed drops bellow the usual mark nearly cuts out or does cut out. sometimes the revs pick backup to normal and then everything is fine. if anyone has any ideas please let me know. i have just put new leads and plugs on so i dont think it can be that thanks
  5. the timing chain noise does sound like the noise i am getting but it sounds much louder but maybe its just the sound clip does anyone know the part numbers for the parts so i can get them and what i would need to fix this problem. still getting some oil loss and i dont know where from doesnt seem too bad but the oil on plugs was the thing that worried me.

The engine sounds very quiet but if you rev the engine you can hear a click click click noise. when driving it gets louder and even if you push the clutch in it goes away but if you rev with clutch in it will still be there. i went to a garage to ask and they didnt know but said it wasnt anything worth worrying about does anyone have any ideas. please help thanks

  18. Hi there how you doing i currently have a 1996 OBD2 VR6 and i am having problems when cold starting. the car will start the idle speed drops and then goes up to 2000 the car sits there for a while and usually calms down once you have drove around for a while. the speed still sits a wee bit above 1000 revs. I have recenlty tried to get the car scanned but it wont read the ecu. i think my diagnostic port must be faulty. the plug seems different to OBD2 as its got the 2 connecters instead of 1. the reason for this is a newer engine has been put in the car. does anyone have any suggestions on how
