Are you willing to remove the items from the car and post them? I'l take all three including the gearknob which, hopefully, I can refurb.

Nice clean car, mate. I loved my old Mystic Blue VR. I had him for 8 yrs and did 150,000 miles. In all that time it only let me down once with a shot coilpack. I sold it to some little scrote weed dealer who wrote it off the day after he bought it!! I've had my current VR Highline for 6 years but thinking of selling him on soon. @javichu50 I have a spare VR6 badge you could put on your Mk3

Price and milage? -
I need a few minor bits like the OBD port cover. An original wooden gear knob and passenger side window seal. Any of these things available?
-
The guy who revamped my car had to get new seals for the rear and it was cheaper to buy new windows with seals included! I'll admit I haven't looked for front ones. Surely any Mk3 Golf bits should fit. It has been suggested to me to just to cover the window motor in clingfilm and spray with WD40.
-
I gaffer tape the window seal when I wash the car and make sure the pressure washer avoids that area. I recently had my VR 'overhauled' and the bodywork guy managed to get new rear window seals. I'm sure you'll get them easy as they're the same for most mK3s. I just haven't got round to doing mine.
-
I have the same issue. After I have the car washed or it rains heavy the passenger window plays up. I find when I stop somewhere and shut the drivers door, the passenger window goes down. If I open the drivers door again and slam it the passenger one goes up again. All this silliness stops when it all dries out. I've had a new window motor (200 quid!!) and it made no difference. I'm thinking I need new window seals. I got the doors off ebay for a quid and the rubber is a bit perished. My other solution is simply to disconnect the motor and do without a passenger window opening.

Looks like a nice example. I already own an identical one. Good luck with the sale.
-
I can't help with any parts but welcome to the site
-
There is a difference. See you other post for photos!

Regular VR6 badge. Highline Badge.
-
Yes. The highline badge is a black rectangle with VR6 in the middle. A non-highline badge is like a silver cut out VR6. I'll post some pics for you.
-
What a waste leaving it in the garage. I suppose it is being preserved and just gaining value. Mine is identical to the OPs car with 72k. I use mine every day as my daily driver. Good luck with the sale.
-
The price is right. A decent VR becoming a rare beast.
-
Welcome. I love the Mystic Blue!
-
My experience of VR6s and I've owned three of them over 15 yrs, says get the best coilpack you can and a decent set of leads. Buy cheap and you'll buy twice! I usually buy Bosch, expensive but quality.
-
Really. That's great.
-
One of my VR6s was difficult to get into first gear. (I think that what you're saying). Initially I thought the clutch was going but my mechanic said it was OK. He suggested the clutch lever was bent and needed replacement, which seemed odd. Anyway I sat in the car and hooked my foot under the clutch pedal and pulled it upward. There was about an inch of movement and it changed gear perfectly after that! I had to repeat this action every three months or so. It might be worth a try!!

I've just shod my Highline with Toyo Proxy TR1s. Quite a soft tyre but good grip. My old Tomcat Turbo would eat a set of Toyo front tyres in 2500 miles!!!
-
Wow! And the 3.6!! How did that miss my radar!
-
Until now I wasn't aware VW made a V6 Eos! Nice car!!
-
The car is now SOLD to Adnan and we have a new club member
-
Yes Ok but be aware that I've had mouth cancer so I talk a bit funny. 07913 841558
-
Yes mate. First come, first served!!

I've had a think overnight and the best I'll do is £999. No offers. Any less and I rather stick it in the lockup and continue to use it as a spare. I drive it almost every day and it's not a bad little runabout as it is.
