    Hi, got my 02M install booked in at the Phirm for next year. slightly different as mine is 4x4. imho - i wouldnt waste the money strengthening the 02A not if your going 02M, 02A - LSD £650+, BOLT kit for diff £80, new bearings £100, plus the cost of the cryo and labour and good clutch 350+ build it, run low boost then convert to 02M after running it in. 02M swap needs the gearbox mount cut from subframe and moved. here is a good link - http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?2633108-quot-02m-o2m-6-speed-into-mk3-12v-VR6-(Pictures-Fixed) good luck s

    i say let the person who wants to do it, do it. anyway if Bealie got it he would moderating most of his own crap that he posts!

    and a good local tuner, Emerald are based near Norwich and could be a bit of a mission if it goes there for mapping dependant on where in the country you are.

    Adaptronic - http://www.efi-parts.co.uk/index.php?productID=248 £699 with 2 meter loom and it has a knock sensor which i dont think the emerald has and an inbuilt MAP sensor.

    hi, dont think you need DBW? like i said it does the job for me, it starts runs and drives. its not very easy to self map so you will need someone local to edit the supplied basemap so factor that in to the cost of a remap which for mine was £500, did get 3 maps though! the tuner i went too didnt like them much and the software isnt brilliant, Matty didnt like his..... Vince recommended the DTA, give Tim at the Phirm a call and see what he says you will then have the opinion of 2 of the best VR guys in the country. good luck. s

    Hi Mate, no launch control on the emerald but it can do variable boost to gear\rpm with the right inputs also no knock sensors which are handy if your going to self tune. most of the other stuff most can do. what i would look for would be who near you is a recommended tuner and what ecu they tune most often. your welcome to come and have a look. 3k sounds a bit steep as it should be just cut the wire from the original loom and plumb into the new ecu but that will leave the old loom as well so maybe a tidy up? have you looked at Megasquirt? bit more in depth than the others or just a

    hi, i had Besters short shift in my Mk3. awesome bit of kit and cheap! s

    I have Emerald on my VRT, its ok. the lugtronic kit is plug and play. a few people i know run DTA kit and like it. if your going coil pack try the ford mod as they are cheaper in the long run. s

    Hi All, total cock of a question, I don't want to spend £500 on a temporary clutch as hope to go haldex, I have read all the posts about clutches, standard v uprated but need some guidance. Sachs clutch alleged to hold 300hp/tq, is this with the Sachs standard pressure plate? So would a Sachs uprated pressure plate 883082 999645, with supposed 25% more pressure and standard clutch be able to Hold 375hp/tq? I have seen kits that are standard pp and a sprung 6 puck disc that say it would hold that amount http://www.dualmassflywheel24.com/4070/144/vw2012-03-11-19-52-23_6/corrado-53-i-bj-08-1987-1

    Hi, the VR AAA has 2 versions of chains (upto 127000 and after 127000) i think one is single and the other double...... not sure of the ABV. found this deal which is great if it is FEBI http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TIMING-CHAIN-KIT-VW-GOLF-MK3-III-3-SHARAN-PASSAT-T4-CORRADO-VENTO-2-8-VR6-2-9-/181347367427 im looking at doing the same but just want guides and tensioners from the MK4 if possible as these are stronger? good luck. steve great thread here http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?1264409-DIY-Replacing-timing-chains-tensioners-and-guides-on-a-12v-VR6%5C

    Hi, there is a 10mm (i think) bolt on the transmission/cable connection. if you look under the bonnet and get someone to move the gearstick you should see it, just loosen it and get someone to try the selector. here is a link, post 3 is helpful. https://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=373890 good luck steve

    Hi, the aerials have a booster at the base this on older cars has issues, if you had to reseal i would think that it got some water and is now knackerd (common issue) i would look at replacing it with something like this. http://www.dabonwheels.co.uk/Kinetic_DRA-6003_FM-AM_DAB_car_aerial.html i have this and it looks OEM and has DAB to boot and the whole thing is less than the OEM. good luck steve
