  1. Cheers mate Is there anything I would need to change/adapt or will it fit straight in?
  2. Can some one please educate me......... Is it possible to fit an OBD2 Block and head into an OBD1 car without changing the ECU and loom etc etc? I need a new engine for mine and was just wondering if its possible to do. Cheers
  3. I bought a hot-tuning manifold for my 8v GTi, and it was rubbish. It didn't fit properly to the head, and kept blowing from the cat attachment.I removed it in the and and it's still sitting in the garage. I would stay clear personally, and spend and bit more on a decent one.
  4. x3 for the cap, I had the same prob on mine. Got one new from the dealers for 6.73, seems to run fine at the mo, but I'm gonna get a sniffer test done just to be sure.
  5. Ok cool, was just wondering as I bought some 16v clocks for it!! Will get some proper ones at a later date Cheers fella
  6. Ah I see, cheers for the info fella, Much appreciated. So I'm guessing the clocks from a 16v wont be any good?
  7. Sorry I forgot to update the thread. Well, I did indeed change the thermostat, and also the Housing, temp sensor, new reservoir cap and flushed the system through with quick flush. And there was no change!!! boo hoo The temp gauge was bothering me because it was only going up to 60 degrees, which isn't exactly overheating. Also the oil temp being at around 80 isn't overheating either. So I swapped the clocks from my GTi, as I knew these were working fine, and it run fine!!! Fired up, coolant got up to temp, oil got up to temp and the fans kicked in when they should. Job done!! There was anothe
  8. Thanks for the replies. I changed the reservoir cap for the one on my GTi, and it stopped overflowing. But the engine oil got to 82 degrees, the fans kicked in and the coolant light came on. The coolant temp gauge didn't move past about 60 degrees though. Any ideas why that might be? Have ordered some bits from VW, will be fitting tomorrow. Hopefully it'll sort the prob!!! Thanks again
  9. Hey everyone, I've got a few problems with my 93 obd1 VR6, can someone please help. I've had it a couple of weeks now, and its been sitting on the driverway, waiting while I sell my GTi. It's taking for what seems forever to heat up!! After about 10 mins at Idle the oil temp is at 68 and the coolant temp gauge on the dash, has barely even moved. Its at this point the reservoir tank starts to overflow. Also if I turn the engine off, then restart, the coolant temp doesn't move back to where it was before I turned it off. Not straight away anyway. Feeling the coolant pipes, the top rad hose is ve
