The tyres your recommend would they be normal fit or will they be stretched? Arches should be rolled in a week or 2 but i want to avoid having the arches pulled as im not sure if 9" on the rear is too wide. Flush im thinking.

You could say that - £150 but need a good refurb and now i got some spare tyres for my 911

Picked them up today :-d :-d :-d

Only pic i have till the Porsche Turbo Twists are on :-p

Have you checked your crankcase breather? As this caused a similar problem on mine.
-
Right i think i get that. Has anyone fitted these o similar to their VW and let me know all of the bits i need to buy. Anyone recommend anywhere near Leicester to get the work done to my arches?

I dont mind raising the car a bit - to be honest it scrubs like a b**** at the moment on standard VR6 15's
-
I dont mean to sound dumb but I havent got a clue about these things. What does the 15 and 20mm mean??? and what about bolts and locking nuts - any special requirements? Has anyone else fitted Porsche 9's on the back and if so what mods are required if any? I have just contacted FK to become a distributor so hopefully will get the adapters cheap. 8-)

Can anyone help me???

Where do I start?! Left work early to go to ECP to pick up the pipe that I ordered however when I got there they ordered the wrong part. They eventually tracked down the part I need after I had to show them on an exploded parts diagram then they tried to charge £70+vat!!! It’s only £62+vat from VW! What a bunch of incompetent *****! Anyway after a bit of searching last night I found a VR6 breaking on edition 38 and they had the part I needed. £15 for a Gruven Y pipe… bargain! So I went and collected it from Peterborough last night and fitted it. However… drove to work this morning and

I spoke to Sanburn in Cov on the Saturday and they quoted £15+vat plus £10 for delivery! Just spoke to Euro Car Parts and they do an original part for £22+vat. Will be here this afternoon - fingers crossed it's the right part. Bit concerned as VW quoted £62+vat as the plastic section is not available on its own you have to buy the pipes with it!
-
Thanks people. All sorted now - new breather fitted and full service on Saturday sorted out the problem - spark plug 6 was in a bad way.
-
The fan kicks in no problem. Where can i get a metal one from today / tomorrow??
-
Morning all, On my way home from work on Friday the VR started to overheat and i noticed a water leak on the plastic section of pipe from the top of the radiator to the engine and has a small pipe coming off going to the expansion tank. It's only a crack but is leaking water. When i bought the car it some pink sealer or something on their but i have noticed this has dissapeared now. Will this cause my VR to overheat????
-
Thanks for the info will get myself to VW this weekend. Does anyone know if a broken breather will have caused my VR to start missing? It's going in for a full service tomorrow and also having the fuel pump changed so hopefully it will stop missing.
-
People, I need help please. I believe my crankshaft oil breather has broken and i need to get a new one. I have read past posts and noticed people refer to a Ford equivalent with the following Ford part no. 7364573. I have just spoken to Ford and they do not recognise the part number. Can anyone help?

I'm going for one of these... http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/product.php?xProd=10897&xSec=129 Thanks - it's at the top of my list at the moment - any other suggestions and any reasons why i shouldn't go for the K&N? I take it the heat shield works well and doesn't require any additional holes to be made to secure it?
-
People please help. After reading 9 pages I still don't know which filter to go for. 5 years ago i had a '92 VR6 to which i added a K&N induction kit and it sounded awesome but gets a lot of bad press... not sure why! I have just purchased a '97 Highline completely stock and i just want to change the filter to give me better response and lots of roar. I have a budget of £120 but would really like to stick to £100 if poss... suggestions please.
