Looks mad and sounds brilliant. My son (37) has been banging on about Mk1 Caddys recently. Ever since I lent him my Mk3 Gti he's turned into a right Dubhead!!
-
Nice colour!!
-
I'll have the drivers side door trim, if I can please. Can you post ? eta. I'm also after the standard airbox. Thanks.

Yes mate, you're bonkers!!! Seriously though, if it's the car you want, go for it. I'm restoring an R-reg Highline and the bills just keep coming! I have absolutely no mechanical nouse, so that makes it more expensive as I have to pay someone. The parts are getting harder to come by and VR6s are getting rarer. I believe there are about 1000 left on UK roads and only 280 of them are Highlines. You'll end up with a classic if you go for it!!

It's well worth getting a decent German coilpack, some good HT leads (- I use Magnecour) and some decent plugs. I've fitted these to me last three VR6s and each time it's transformed the car. I'm currently running a tankful of Redex mix to clear the injectors as I previously found some improvement. -
Hello and welcome What are the plans? It looks pretty tidy to start with.

My three Golfs. Mk3 VR6 Highline Mk3 VR6 Mk6 R The R-reg Highline is going for a respray soon, hopefully. This has been my daily driver for four years. I bought the other P-reg one a few months back to run around in while the Highline is away. The P-reg needs a few bits to get it running properly. A new coil, Magnecour HT leads and new plugs are bought or on order. I'm going to Redex the fuel system on next fill up. I bought a secondhand front grill to replace the broken debadged one that was on there. It has TT Comp wheels which have been ba

The telephone code is for Alloa. Too far for me.
-
Bump. Still looking? The car's going into the bodyshop soon so this is getting more urgent!
-
Sorry mate. You must mean the ones with the black background. Good luck with the search.
-
I've got a spare one. I bought off ebay but then managed to find a complete front grille with the badges attached
-
Wheel Bearing? Something caught between disc and disc guard?
-
Welcome.

There was a super low miler floating about a few months back. 10k miles and they wanted 15k for it iirc. I was hunting a low miler but the best I found was one with 50k. The trouble with the low milers is that they've often sat unused for long periods. Both of mine have taken some reconditioning to get them running well. It's a tall order but good luck with your search
-
Could it be the water pump? They tend to get replaced every 60k on a cambelt car but with ours having chains it tends to get overlooked. Just a hunch
-
Have you still got bits for sale. I'm looking for a front grill with preferably with badges. edit. Found one now.
-
I've just been searching for another VR6 and judging what I've seen, I'd say you could ask 3000 and expect to get 2500. The rust goes against it, as does the high-ish milage. I've just got one from ebay auction with 108k miles, 3 door highline for under 1700. I know people are asking 3500-5000 but they're not selling. There will be buyers out there willing to spend the money on a tidy one. I paid 3500 for one a couple of years ago but that was one owner and 50k miles. GLWS

I've found another Golf VR6 I've sourced a black P-reg, 118k miles off ebay. I've bought blind so I hope it's not a wreck!! Thanks to the members who contacted me with offers.
-
Thanks for the offer, Bill. Sounds like a nice car, I've never had a Corrado but it a bit more than I wanted to spend. Essentially I'm looking for a cheap VR6 to run around in while my VR6 is being restored/resprayed. I didn't reckon on spending more than £1500 -£1800 or somewhere around there.
-
As the title. Must be a good reliable runner. Any year, any colour but not an auto. Not too bothered about bodywork. Must be within easy reach of Leicester. Cash money waiting.

When my lambda sender went the car was popping and farting but it would make forward progress. I drove from my house to the garage, a trip of a mile and a half. The garage put up the car on the ramp and the catalytic converter was glowing red! We removed the lambda and I ran it without one for years.
-
I was going to suggest TPS or Lambda Sender. I had a crank position sender go and the car wouldn't even turn over.
-
Have you still got this car? I'm up the road in Leicester and looking for a VR6 runaround. Any more details?
-
Any more details mate. Your ad is a bit sparse!! Put a bit of effort in and you might sell it
-
Where are you based, mate? Was this the one that was a Stealth for the RR day last year -just had an engine rebuilt as I remember?
