    i think the shocks r fine ther konis n ther oil not gas i think thats y they feel abit crap, im starting to think tho that my dampers arent specced to a vr6 but just a mk3!! they dont bottom out on the front but i dont think the springs r hard enuff, it rolls abit more than the back!

    http://www.bahnbrenner.com/vw_audi/VW_Turbo_Kits/MK3_VR6_Stage_2_Turbo_Kit.html is this turbo kit a bag ov shite then?? cuz i woz under the impression i just needed a downpipe n intercooler pipes cuz its 4 lhd?? i reckon someone should make a list of everything you need down to nuts n bolts, fittings and sizes etc!! lol every1 is just telling me to buy a mk4 turbo!! but im thinkin ummm NOOOO!!! a vr6 turbo is going to make too much of a satisfying noise!!!

    im about to order a turbo kit from the US and the fact of popping boxes really worries me!! i went thru 5 boxes and 2 clutches in almost a year in my rs turbo!! dont want to be going through that again!! ive only had my VR about 6 months now so im still learnin about them, is the 02a the standard vr6 box? if i was to run around 300bhp and give my lead foot some exercise from time to time how long should i expect it to last?? have you had a stronger box built for yours, like some kinda quaife diff uprated bearings jobby?? do you know of any firms that have built them up in the past, n how much

    thats not bad! i went thru 5 gearboxes in a year in my rs turbo, dont really want all that hassle again!! may have found a cheap alternative to quaife? http://www.bahnbrenner.com/vw_audi/Limited_Slip_Differential/Peloquin_Limited_Slip_Differential___02A.html

    has anyone on here done a turbo conversion? how long will a standard gearbox last on around 300 bhp? if i wanted a really strong box has anyone got any recommendations? i understand a strong box will cost alot of cash i was thinking along the lines of a rebuild with uprated bearings and a quaife diff of some sort duno if that will be enough though?

    thanks peeps! im going to get all the camber n stuff looked at and gradually replace bushes front and rear, ive had new tyres n tracking done today and the turn in is better but it still doesnt feel like a confident drive! i spose im on 114k now and everythin is jus knackered!!!
  12. dragongreen_vr6
    its really doing my head in its even making me consider selling up! i duno if its jus cuz ther is so much weight on the front that makes the backend feel so unsettled. arggg!!
  13. dragongreen_vr6
    ive had my vr6 4 about 5 months now and its fairly standard jus got adjustable koni 40mm setup on it but i find that my car is really twitchy and somewhat unsettled on the road at speed, it feels like the car cud let go from the road at any moment sometimes n scares the shit out ov me tbh! ive checked my tyre wear and the front left is abit more worn on the inside, im gettin new tyres n tracking done today but im confident that this isnt the whoel problem. is it a collection of bushes that need sorting? or is my camber all wrong from the previous owner fitting the konis?? i duno if its jus vr6

  16. dragongreen_vr6
    HELPPP!!! i work away and jus got back today and pop goes a coolant hose!!! GUTTEDD!!! after 3 weeks of missing my car i cant drive the bloody thing!! i thought instead of getting raped by vw for just a replacemtn hose id get a full silicone hose kit as most of the others look abit shit now too...anyway my question after my side tracking there, does any1 know where i can get a silicone hose kit tomorrow??? i live in bham dont mind travelling too far, all ive seen so far is stealth in banbury but there £230 that seemed abit steep???

    my golf is a bit snappy on the back end, i think you just generally get quite bad lift off oversteer in the vr6 golfs cuz ther is so much weight on the front end.

    my ram air filter is friggin huuuge!! u cud suck a baby thru it! not that ive ever done that or anythin.....
  20. dragongreen_vr6
    yeah ive got oil pressure! its not a mechanical noise sounds like something is loose! i reckon its the exhaust im guna check it 2mo
  21. dragongreen_vr6
    when i first push the throttle down i get a proper annoying howling/squeaky noise. ive got a huge ramair filter on the car. it never made this noise with the airbox! has any1 else had this problem and cured it?
  22. dragongreen_vr6
    when im driving im getting a knocking noise! it sounds like the passenger seat is loose! thats the only way i can describe it! i dont think its anything driveshaft/cv related, is the exhaust close to the gearbox? has any1 had the exhaust bangin ther gearbox or anything underthe car? it doesnt sound like heavy enough nock 4 an engine mount either :S
  23. dragongreen_vr6
    im not sure to be honest its a 1995 M? its just tripped onto 110k.
  24. dragongreen_vr6
    has the vr6 got a cambelt or a chain and how many miles until its advised to replace it?
  25. dragongreen_vr6
    ive recently bought my vr6 and the coolant level has been dropping, ive noticed that there is rusty water stains all over piping etc under the header tank and around the thermostat housing. ive just ordered a new thermnostat housing and seal, as ive got a feeling this is the problem. is this a common problem on these?
