    Hello VR6 nuts. How are you all? Hope you are enjoying your VR6 Motoring. I have a few questions which I am hoping you can help with.

    Hi Folks I have recently purchased my first vr6 and whilst I love it to bits it has developed a really funny whine coming from the head.

Instead of a faint whine its now a very loud whine immediately on start up and then goes into a faint whine and when the engine is warm it goes completely. The only way to describe the sound is its like the noise from a ramp as you are lifting the car up for an oil change
