    I think I have fitted them correctly, I have poly top mounts which I fitted bearing, top mount then nut. Is that the correct way? Thanks

    I painted my manifold and plastic cover with Montana Gold spray paint and it turned out really well (and you can get in amazing colours!)

    Alright Guy's Still having this problem! Mattvr6 did the top mounts help? I have replaced the ball joints and drop links. I have also put the helper springs at the bottom and a washer between the top mount and bearing which has seem to fix one side but the passenger side is still very noisy It's driving me nuts so filmed the noise it's making to see if anyone could shed some light on the situation? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrSi0HWP7p0&feature=youtu.be Thanks

    I fitted them bearing poly top mount then nut. Not 100% sure if this is right but the bearing seemed to fit nicely in the top mount so just went with it. Seems ok.

    Ok got my car started turns out the starter motor had packed in! Anyway I got my poly top mounts fitted and they make the handling and ride of the car 10 times better and my knocks have gone but I still get a lot of what I think is spring noise when slow driving and corrnering, Has anyone had this before? The weitecs have the helper spring at the top, is this right? It's the way they came but I always thought the helper went to the bottom, could this be causing my spring noise? So all in all I do like the poly top mounts and would recommend them.

    No I don't think they come with bearings, so I have ordered so Febi bearing which from what I can tell from my googling they are meant to be good quality? Anyone tried theses? I will put up my feedback once I have got them on, that's after I get my car started! Just decided not to start today think its the alarm and wires are voodoo to me lol

    I ordered up a set of powerflex poly top mounts (you can get them from awesome GTI or psi tuning where I got them from because they had them in stock) I will let all you nice folks know how they are when they arrive .

    Hi mattvr6, Yeah it is a mk3 I drive, did the mk2 mounts stop all the noise? I think powerflex make poly top mounts for the mk3 which I'm tempted to try. Has anyone tried these before? Thanks

    Hi Guys, I have been on google for weeks now trying to find a fix for my problem with knocking and just really noisy top mounts. I have replaced my top mounts and bearings (greased them before fitting) and still the same problem had a look at my bearings today and them seem to be wrecked already been in only a week. Now I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, the first time i fitted them I pressed the bearing into the top mount then nut gunned the nut on over the top of the bearing and top mount. I have seen a guide on here where it looks like I should have fitted the bearing then the nut w

    Hi DaveyB76 Thanks for the reply and sorry I should have said in my last post that the abs light connection is pluged in and the brown connetor is the headlight switches which leaves me with the red connetor *-)

  12. Deegolfvr6
    Hi vr6pete I will take pic later and post of random connector Will the power for my central locking connect into the rear lights? I have a connection that I had to leave out my rear lights because it was causing my drivers side indicator stay on its a yellow connector I think. Thanks

    Alright guys Thanks for the advice got there in the end just a bit of shouting and swearing and persistence.

    Hi guys, Need some more help (I should be a vr6 pro the amount of amazing advice you good people give me!) I have put my vr back on the road after dealing with her rust in the process I did remove the interior which set me alarm problems which I think I have fixed but now my central locking doesn't work (I wouldn't mind to much but can't lock my boot with the key) is the central locking done thought the alarm? Also when putting back together I have a red connection with 3 wires coming off it behind the headlight switches on my dash which for the life of me can't find where to plug in anyone k

    Hi guys, I have just fitted powerflex rear beam bushes, I am now trying to fit the rear beam back to the car with the brackets and the holes won't line up about 5-10mm out! Any help or advice would be amazing. Thanks
  16. Deegolfvr6
    Thanks for the reply Lukey I manage to find a set from vw parts international who were very good with me, went out there way to help me out. Very good company and I would recommend to the guys on here.

    Hi guys, I need to replace my rear axle bushes, so was looking to get a cheapish set of poly bushes for the rear just because they are easier to fit but the bushes I keep finding are only for 4 stud models. Is there a difference between the poly bushes for the 4 stud and 5 stud. I thought that it would be the same rear beam throughout the mk3 range. Any help or advice would be amazing. Thanks

    Sorry for the late update. I have (kind of) sorted my problem, I ripped out every wire that was attached to the alarm unit and now my car starts first time every time yeah! Thank for your help and advice guys

    Thanks for the advice guys, I think it is the 300 concept, It does lock and unlock with my key fob how did you use your valet switch to start? I will have a good hunt alarm box tonight. Is there an easy way to by pass the alarm to see if that's the problem? Thanks again
  20. Deegolfvr6
    Bump Any help with this would be amazing Or if anyone could tell me where I could find my alarm serial number (cos it had worn off my key fob) so that I can contact Clifford. Thanks

    Alright guys, Had a slight change of mind and went for Weitec coilovers since I found a new set for £400 from awesome gti through eBay. Not sure if they have anymore at this price but thought I would let you guys know just in case your looking for some. Thanks
  22. Deegolfvr6

    Hi guys, Having a bit of a problem, I started to strip down my vr to rebuild her, when I have been removing the interior I disconnected the sensor in the cab in front of the gear stick, the proximity sensor and I have also had the battery off her for about 10 weeks now. I went to start her to turn her over and it doesn't start, the lights on the dash come on and the alarm light on the dash sometimes flashes rapidly but doesn't even sound like the engine is trying to turn over. I have a feeling it's the alarm has maybe immobilised the car, Any info or advice on this would be much appreciated go

    Hi guys, This has prob been discussed on here before but here I go! I'm looking for a set of coilovers for my mk3 vr, I have a budget of around £400 and have found these: http://www.venommotorsport.com/manufacturer_product.php?manufacturer=JOM&category=suspension&product=NJT&make=VW&model=Golf%20Mk%203 I do like the look of these because you can adjust the damping rate. Has anyone used these dampers before or could suggest any? Thanks
  25. Deegolfvr6
