    It won't really improve performance but will help it last a lot longer I am currently doing mine with new gaskets and seals etc
  2. michael5556
    Where did you get the bits from if you don't mind me asking? And it depends on your mileage, if your going to do your headgasket or not

    I am currently doing my headgasket on the vr but when I took the inlet manifold I found The gasket between upper and lower was very oily and there was oil in the lower and start of upper part of the manifold? Anyone got any ideas?

  10. michael5556

    I have a blown head gasket and have the "Mayo" and I am fixing it this week, new bolts etc, but I was wondering what's the best way to get rid of this? Is it to take everything out and get it all cleaned etc? Or can I just use some engine flush solution etc? Any solutions welcome. Many thanks.

    They also do a mk5 golf I think that has both, there are a few cars out there that do

    I picked up some parts from iceviolet. Nice guy, easy to deal with an knows his stuff! Well chuffed with the stuff I got!

    I know someone selling a vr gearbox and it's pretty cheap, but I haven't head it running in the car before so I am a bit undecided?
  15. michael5556
    Owch! i know how you feel, but not as painfull as that as mine only cost me £1400. good luck getting it sorted!
  16. michael5556
    How about 270 piper cams as they are pretty cheap?
  17. michael5556
    Hm I may be interested, depends if you can get any other people together. If not I will get them myself as I am rebuild an engine and will get bearings etc

    Has anyone used one of these before? http://www.spturbo.com/onlinestore/index.php/vw/mk3/vr6/vr6-12v-timing-chain-kit.html As it works out as $188 for my obd1 Which is £117. This is very good for a timing kit? How much will customs charge for me to get this?

    Big end

    michael5556 posted a topic in General Chat

    Do vw or Gsf or tps sell bottom ends separately? I am in need of one, unless anyone has a spare knocking around?

    It is pretty grim but gets worse when it's the blood near the end lol
  21. michael5556
    yeah probably the easiest and cheapest option
  22. michael5556
    no because the light should come on and go off
  23. michael5556
    Check your battery connections. Do you have an aftermarket alarm fitted?
  24. michael5556
    But you would need a new plastic cover where your light is as if your light is on mr mot will fail you
  25. michael5556
    Yeah it is safe to use, brakes will work fine, just no abs. I would replace all 4 sensors first and see what it says then. If you still need one then just get one from someone breaking thier car as it wouldn't be much.
