    thank you Also do the bolts need to be torque'd at all. i've got to do this job tomorrow really as the leak is getting very bad. While i'm at it can someone tell me how a VR6 is meant to sound over 3000 revs coz mine seems to gurgle a lot when excellerating hard, is this normal or is something amiss. i've only had the car 3 weeks so i'm still trying to get used to it and its not the same sound as the all the other dubs i have had, but the rest have been various 1.8 models.

    piercings

    muttley replied to anna's topic in General Chat

    I used to have both my ears pierced 7 times, both nipples, labret, eyebrows done twice each side, tongue done twice, and my tragus. i woke up one day looked in the mirror and got bored and took them all out lol apart from my labret, tragus one earing and one tongue bar. i dont look so much like metal mickey now lol but i do have 23 tattoo's that i cant take off lol

    Ok quick update, i got the git of a plug out and all new plugs are in place, i'm buying new leads tomorrow so that bit is done. i took the MAF out and cleaned it today and the tube running up to the throttle body was cleaned also. I noticed that the throttle body flappy plate ( sorry i dont know the technical term lol) is a bit dirty, can i clean this while it is still attached to the engine or do i have to remove it, i'm a bit concerned coz i've heard that the ecu needs resetting if i mess about with it. any idea's guys cheers John

    still got one plug stuck in, it seems to be at a different angle that the rest of them i'm not sure if the socket is going far enough over for it to bite on the nut

    quick update tried to take the plugs out today, two are stuck fast, and two were in a bad way and two were covered in wet oil. also two of the HT leads fell to pieces in my hand. so after one week of ownership the vento is now off the road

    I had a mechanic friend of mine look at the VR6 yesterday and he said what its doing is called hunting, its where the power dissapears and then the car jolts. it does it in 1st 2nd and 3rd gears. and on tick over it either sticks on 500 revs or the rev will go up and down as if i'm revving the car. im off to town today to get some carb cleaner. i've been told to clean out the air flow sensor, idle control valve and ive got to change a pipe on the fuel actuator valve coz it has a sillicone pipe on and apparently that is very very dangerous coz it can swell and cause a engine fire. I'm also gonn
