    I want a code reader for crimbo from me wife.I was looking at this one http://www.talktomycar.co.uk/products/codereaders/MaxiScanMS309.htm Do you recon it will be ok for my 97 vr6

    Narkered thermostate making coolant boil over? Air in the system?

    No not yet. The thing is if i have the window up the only way i would tell there was a missfire is that when i take my foot off the accelarator theres a little jolt,if i have the window down all i can hear is t.t.t.t.t.t.t.t. I havent noticed a loss of power however i think i may have just gotten used to the way it runs. going to try some redex and change the fuel filter then maybe clean the throttle body. McPikie if it were the case i was losing compresion how much does this cost to put right?

    i had this and it was the maf that was at fault vag com didnt show any faults for it,it was blaming the lambada for the stalls.Changed the maf and there were no fault codes at all and stopped the stalling.

    Replaced the 2 dodgy looking plugs still popping. looks like a new coil pack then !

    The sealy tool works a treat. Checked the spark plugs before shelling out for a new coil pack and found that on cylinders 4-6 the plugs have gone brown around the base of the ceramic part of the plug.I suppose this is from not having the ht leads seated properly should i replace these two plugs?

    Found one http://www.pvrdirect.co.uk/productinfo.aspx?catref=VS5293

    Hi there replaced my ht leads because of the disco effects that they were making under the bonnet and also made the missfire realy badly p-p-p-p-p-pink. Anyway after checkin all the plugs were still tight i put my new magnercor leads on and im still getting missfire? the spark plugs are ngk platinums that have done about 5k and the coil pack seems fine no cracks or anything. The only thing i can think of is that the plastic lead remover tool isnt seating the leads properly as when you push the plastic tool just slips over the notches on the ht lead. So i recon i need a metal remover tool there

    My 97 Vr's idle is a bit erratik starting the car from cold the revs shoot up to around 2000rpm for around 3 secs then drops to around 1500 after about a minute or so this drops down to around 900rpm, If i put some revs on then take my foot off the accelereter the revs go back upto 2000 again then drop slowly back down to 900.You know how old ppl drive the cars not moving and the there reving the crap out of the car, thats probly what it look like to anyone watching me reverse out of my drive. Anyhow when the cars warms up the problem goes . I have searched the forum for some idea and have com

    isnt there an over ride key for it? mine used to be in the glove box
  19. ringosnose
    It can happen if the leads arnt seated properly on the spark plug,The standard plastic lead tool on the bonet stay is ok for taking leads off but isnt the best for for putting them back on.Borrow or buy a metal version theres some links on the site somewere to some supplers of them.
  20. ringosnose
