  1. Happy New Year guys, i've not been on here for very long, but the experience so far has been fantastic, had a laugh with a few of you and a lot of you have helped me out with VR6 issues. and thank you to all of you for making me feel welcome. have a good one guys x
  2. i was hoping it could have been condensation, I'l post on here in the morning and let you know what i find.
  3. ok i'l have another look tomorrow mate, its abit weird about the oil catch tank though !!
  4. Not completely 100% i still dont know my way around a VR6 engine yet. i've only had it a month
  5. How do i do that ? Sorry if thats a daft question
  6. ok i'm gonna take it off tomorrow and give it a good clean hopefully that will sort it. It did it again earlier i was stuck in the 40mph speed limit on the A1 going under the hatfield tunnel and when i came off and stopped at the lights it was fluctuating between stalling and 1500rpm so i'm getting a bit concerned now, and with the misterious water leak and oil leak i am starting to lose heart in VR ownership just after 1 month
  7. dont know really where to start here, I'm losing about a pint of water if not more a week, i do roughly about 60 miles a week. there is no obvious leak me and my mate have had a good look around the engine bay, The water smells of coolant not exhaust fumes No obvious signs of water getting into the engine oil But the guy who had the car before me fitted a oil catch tank and when i went to empty it two weeks ago it was full of water :s Any ideas guys
  8. Heres something i wrote for TVW back in June it may help http://www.torquevw.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=73:tyre-stretch-guide&catid=34:how-to-guides&Itemid=28
  9. i would do if i knew where it was lol
  10. I noticed today that after i boot the car for a bit and stop at traffic lights or whatever the idle speed seems to fluctuate between 400 and 1000 rpm for about 30 seconds then goes back to normal. It was in wet conditions and it was the first time i've used the car for nearly two weeks, the car was fully warmed up. What dya recon ?? Cheers john
