[Oil cooler seal]

this is older but illustrates it better because its metal so the colour contrasts, the black should be fully removed, yours being flush it will have shrunk

it should be plumped up and proud, like this

[Oil cooler seal]

yea just try not to gouge either of the mating surfaces when removing the rubber

[Oil cooler seal]

both the front and back oil cooler seals can be replaced

[Reduce Clutch travel]

Get a new clutch

[Nazzas VR6 Golf...Phase one.]

No OBD2 is single chain

[OBD1 parts for an OBD2?]

Yes only the engine parts are different, don't know about the differences in rad fans

[Heater Matrix Replacement]

You can get a much cheaper one, about 10% of the price, but I heard bad things about cheap heater matrices so went genuine as I didn't want to do it twice. Just did the heater matrix on my A3 8P that was £180 but at least not a dash out job, just a glovebox out and a lot in job.

[Heater Matrix Replacement]

No part no but I can tell you it will be about £150 from VW

[Nazzas VR6 Golf...Phase one.]

Yes single and double row

[My Black Magic VR6]

Well, our journey has come to an end, the new owner picked the VR up today, hated to see it go but loved listening to it leave.

[remove air con and pump]

I don't know this for sure but I'm sure that people got the wider belt then razor bladed one or two of the ribs off to make it the required number of V's wide.

[HID HEADLIGHT KIT]

tbh I couldnt either, then while i was buggering about with something else, someone in the garage just popped it out.

[rebuilding engine...help needed.]

Victor reinz headgasket, elring for head bolts and crank seal, genuine for chains guides and tensioners. Genuine is more money but the timing system is the most critical part of the whole thing so it's worth the extra

[That annoying diaphragm breather thing]

If your going for a catch can you could just put another hose to the throttle body hose and have it sealed properly

[That annoying diaphragm breather thing]

It's supposed to be a closed system that recirculates the air from the crankcase, as the maf has already accounted for it in the Ecu fuelling calculations etc.

[Nazzas VR6 Golf...Phase one.]

The chains are a piece of piss really, all of the sprockets have timing marks so it's really straightforward and user friendly. I think the best thing to say is that you be really methodical and if you want to check it you can easily hand crank the engine and see if everything still lines up after 2 rotations

[Trim polish]

For the rubbers gummi pfledge is good stuff

[Corrado in the Body Shop]

Good progress

[Coolant around header tank]

get it sniffed to check for exhaust in the coolant, caps are cheap get a new one just so you know its not that either

[How to reduce brake travel?]

What Luke said, made a difference for me when I purged the brakes, if possible. Have been reading that the brake feel isn't great when compared to modern cars.

If you drive one back yo back, it isn't, but the power is still there just not a feather touch right at the top of the pedal, I only noticed this in hindsight though

[How to reduce brake travel?]

They are a pain in the arse on the mk3 you need to do an abs purge on vag com

[96 vr6 1st ever project build thread,]

Didn't know about them when I was tired of mine slipping and sliding, nicer looking than that anti slip mat you get from home bargains that I used
