    Straight forward 1hr job groveling under the front end of the car undoing bolts which hold starter to bell housing. Much easier than on 4cyl 8V where starter mount includes front engine mount. Just make sure that phosphor bronze pinion bush stays in housing or if it comes out you replace it. Good luck

    Thanks - GSF man took a lot of time checking we had the right one from engine number as car is near change point. Will compare carefully but what is the difference between the two? Cheers

    Thanks - all is clear now! Just need a 36mm socket Cheers

    Thanks Bungy - like your boobs! Understand 36mm socket but whats this about draining oil from allen bolt? Cheers

    Had my VR6 for a year + so oil and filter change is overdue. Its a 1995 N reg Mk3 OBD2. Seen posts on filter and seems oil has to be drained from an allen screw and then remove cannister with 36mm socket to put new cartridge in. Has anybody got more details for doing this job as a first timer only used to disposable metal cartridges on 16v Mk2! Cheers

    clamps shouldnt make a difference, as long as they are the correct size and in alright condition and tight enough - good gungum will do it

    yeah pain in the arse to clean em, the VR seems to shed off far too much brake dust too.

    got MIlltek on mine and never sounded tinny, even when i had to swap it over from my old Gti to the VR, perfect first time fired up. i agree with the monk, may need sealing properly, you can do it yourself no problem

    seems easier and cheaper to buy a 100k model that has been looked after/had the required work done and then pay way less for it. madness paying 8k for a corrado, love the car, but get a used VR golf/rado for 1K spend 7k making it mint, now that is gonna be nicer than just having 33k on the colck. haha. now why doesnt my bank have £7k in it for me to sort mine out!!

    what a steal, done well there, luckily my mate runs a wheel refurbing company so mine were done on the super cheap, bet the kid that sold them was well gutted, considering that the standard wheels can sell for more than that!
  20. Timah89
    how much you pay for them if you dont mind me asking?
  21. Timah89
    spoonman2, shat myself then, thought someone had stolen my car! good choice in colour of car and wheels. where you get the wheels done, look a very similar finish to mine, had mine done in smoked chrome, awesome effect in the right light!
