    hi guys, i picked up a rotton (rotton is being kind) golf vr6 local the other day that i am going to break, as you know going by this thread in the link below my engine in my daily vr6 is smoking, the compression tests did not seem bad in my vr6 (i also spoke to vince at stealth and he said they seemed good), its also weeping oil / coolant on the auxillery belt tensioner side where the headgasket is (common problem). please see my thread here on my daily vr6 engine - http://www.vr6oc.com/forum/topic/45474-results-from-my-vr6-dry-wet-compression-tests/ now it was running very poorly, but i

    how do you check the ignition timing? well sometimes pete it runs like a dream, other times its bad!!! if i wiggle the wire on the maf if will cut the car out so im thinking the issue is there like a wiring fault or similar!

    hi guys, picked up another golf vr6 obd1 as the bloke had the hump with it!!!! it starts but you have to keep your foot on the throttle for 5 minutes before you can let it idle as it will cut out when cold, when you put your foot on the throttle it splutters badly and stalls, it stinks of fuel!!! STINKS!!! its running on a dizzy. just want your ideas, ive got a few but some more input would be good! ive got a fully running OBD1 so will swap bits over but im way too busy at the moment!!! its also way way too full with oil.

    as title, a guy very near me is breaking a 36k golf vr6! yes 36k! its mint, well apart from engine to why he is breaking it, he says the headgasket has gone, can smell petrol in the header tank and its pissing out on the thermostat housing! is this the usual problems with the VR? no mayo in oil cap!

    my vr6 is smoking a lot! i know of a corrado vr6 around my area that does not smoke but its a bit ropey bodywise, ideal as its obd1 dizzy and so is my early 1992 golf! im on a phone, an old nokia so excuse me if its been asked, i know its a direct swap and i can do it myself. question is how much difference will it make from 2.8 to 2.9?

    as title for my golf vr6 please
  11. paceo
    so pressure blowing out or sucking in? new one on me? i know the rs turbos if the rings are gone the oil cap will pop off but can see your theory it will be blowing out? i have no pcv valve, got a very early 1992 mk3 vr6 which has not got one!
  12. paceo
    on the air intake side that goes into the throttle body? you mean take the little pipe connected to the rocker cover? start it up? pressure as in feeling if its throwing out a lot of air?

    whats the difference like dude from 2.8 to 2.9?
  14. paceo
    as title, one thats preferably had the timing chains done and does not smoke its tits off like mine! corrado vr6 abv engine!

    want to do a leak test chris!
  16. paceo
    reason is ive got a stage 2 vortec charger to go on the car! no point in putting it on a sickly engine! is just under a teaspoon enough oil? i did put two teaspoons in piston two in the bottom left which sent it up to 260psi, but i thought i put too much oil in!
  17. paceo
    not anything else dude, wouldn't mind doing a leak test, well don't trust garages so ideally need someone who is local that has one! The car is not excessive on oil but does use some, when i boot it i dont see clouds of smoke in the rear window! dox - yes its original and she is a J-reg 1992 so an old bird, head has never been off the car by the looks of it! any ideas how to possibly free them up?
  18. paceo
    tax should be included dude! i work for RM so know!

    if i dont drive the car, start it from cold and leave it idling untill the fans kick in, it will continuously kick out blue smoke when hot and no matter how long i leave it idling for when hot. its as soon as i drive it and leave it to idle when hot most of the smoke is clear
  20. paceo
    if you read above it is continuous from cold up until hot on idle if i leave it. if i then drive it, then leave it on idle you cant see much blue smoke!
  21. paceo
    you can buy then direct from schimmel for £356 posted!

    read this mike, what do you think? i added just under a tablespoon http://www.vr6oc.com/forum/topic/45474-results-from-my-vr6-dry-wet-compression-tests/
  23. paceo
    but surely that would cause a loss of compression? when you start it up from cold and let it idle up to temperature it will kick out blue smoke, not excessive but its there. drive it and it clears.
  24. paceo
    as you know my vr6 golf is quiet smokey (blue) from cold and when it reaches temperature its still smoking blue! if i take it for a drive the smoke will clear and when i leave it on idle from a drive the smoke is almost gone, maybe a little bit of blue smoke you can see! here are my results - i put about a teaspoon of oil in it, ive already spoke to vince at stealth racing about this, just want to see your views, compression seems ok, but surely it would be down if i have blue smoke?? piston 1 - spark wet with oil - dry test 188, wet test 203 piston 2 - mildly moist spark - dry test 188,

    hi guys, ive got a standard compression tester for my golf vr6, now obviously this wont determine if its a worn cylinder head or bottom end as the car is a bit smokey (blue - oil) with a compression tester i will do the test first when the engine is warm, then add a bit of oil to the cylinder again, if it rises a lot i believe thats the case for a worn piston ring? how much oil in ML do i need to add? or has anyone got a leak tester local to bromley in kent who wants to pop over and earn some ££ :grin:
