  20. my car overheated the other day, there are no signs of head gasket going i.e mayo in oil cap, smoking. i had my cousin look at it and he says there may be a blockage somewhere, we started it up when it was cold and it wasnt overheating and the top pipe that the coolant goes throw was hot and the bottom one was cold until we squeezed it then it became hot. im kinda confused to what i can be i have heard the thermostat goes in the vr6. plase can someone help, thanks
  21. Hi there i have just purched a mk3 golf vr6 on sunday, it is in mint condition apart from the back box, it has a bit of rust appearing and wanted to change it, i have been speaking to a few local people and some have been saying that you can lose power by changing the original exahust system to a different one for e.g. a scorpion up-swift one. i thought i would ask some of you guys and you would most prob know best?
