IN case you guys haven't heard, EVO magazine have had their Radical stoeln in the Northants / Bedford Area... http://community.evo.co.uk/forums/thread.cfm?threadID=52138

okay ta' that's a relief.... I think I'll have to take it to Hi-Q in Truyro and see what they say.... by the way.. love your avatar!!

Through the BBS alloy i can see an range sticker on what i presume is the shock which says BOGE and then TURBO in "go faster" style writing... through the alloy i can't see any springs on either side!!! are these "shocks" standard, could it be adjusted??

can't see anything obvious, and yes, there is still movement up and down.... it doesn't seem to rub when driving either.... but worried about loading it up for the drive back in a week!

Hi, My VR6 is very low at the offsdie rear sheel, so much so the wheel is actually insdie the wheel arch, this is after a long trip down to cornwall loaded up with suitacase kids and roofrack, after unloading it, it hasn't risen up, any idea what could be wrong and is it possible to just raise the suspension easily to match the other side. I am on holiday so don't have any of my tools, ramps etc with me, but do have some basic tools where I am staying (near Truro, if anyone is around that area and fancies taking a look).. any help / guidance appreciated. Car is a 93 VR6 Golf which is on loweri

I'm guessing you've found out already, but if not then from TPS it's ~£100 for sump, gasket and bolts. Should be just a case of draining the oil, unbolting the sump cleaning it up and then bolting the new one on. However be careful as my one has snapped bolts meaning that if you do them up to tight they will snap off in the block!

Okay, in case anyone else is trying this, here's some tips. pull the top right (nearest the back) corner off first, then use a large flat headed screwdriver to get to inbetween the door card and the orange "plugs" prise the plugs out of the sockets on the door cards, thereare two on each side and i think 3 on the bottom. Do the other things it mentions on the premium members guide, however mine didn't have any torq screws. And do NOT ignore the bit about being careful not to break the door handle, Mine popped off but luckily didn't break, if your does this the you can put it back on by removi

I can't see any of the torx screws at the sides and bottom that it mentions..... how do you get to them? have you done this?

thanks... did a search but that didn't come up... I'll try that!

sorry to hijack someone else's threads, but my new one's aren't showing up in "new Posts"... my question is...How the hell do you get the rear door cards off on a 5 door highline 93 vr6 (Golf), can't see any screws at all!! i started pulling at the bak of the top right of the a part if it came away leaving a black plastic thing on the door trim and a white plastic threaded bit on the door itself, then tried pulling further down the door but something seems to have snapped, as there is now broken orange thing on the door card and a white plastic thing with two large circles of white plastic att

How the hell do you get the off, can't see any screws at all!! i started pulling at the bak of the top right of the a part if it came away leaving a black plastic thing on the door trim and a white plastic threaded bit on the door itself, then tried pulling further down the door but something seems to have snapped, as there is now broken orange thing on the door card and a white plastic thing with two large circles of white plastic attached to the door, don't want to go any further if I'm breaking stuff and I have to do this tonight as have a long drive tomorrow and the electric window on tha

Hi, Just got my car back from AutoTechnic in Oxford and apparently my rear brake pipes are corroding, anyone know if you can buy these from anywhere? apparently AutoTechnic make their own from copper pipe two joiners and a flanging tool!?

Hi, Apparently another bodged job on my VR6 is that the person who fitted the lowering springs didn't screw the top nut on the strut down onto the shock and now the two nuts at the top are ceased together. anyone had anything similar to this and know any ways to get them off, as otherwise they are going to have to cut them off and i will need new shocks as well, to add to my ever increasing bill!!!! thanks Ian

Hi, I gave up trying find the cause of the oil leak and handed it over to a local VW/Audi specialist to have a look at all it's issues. Turns out I have a cracked sump and some of the bolts for the sump have been snapped off and other are missing... apparently someone tried to weld it before but hasn't done a very good job. I'm looking at over £200 to get it fixed by them so was wondering if anyone here has ever had this problem and resolved it themselves, how hard is it? The prices they've quoted me for the parts are TPS prices so I doubt I can get it any cheaper but they are saying upto 1.5

yeah i did see that thread, mine's an 93' OBD1 HK Import (doubt that makes any difference)....
