paceo reacted to ER6 in what do i do with my golf gti 8v? break or save?
I recon so as I have been looking for a VR6 over the last six months+ , anything from £600 (for a hammered one) to £8000 (the red one with 7k on the clocks) , with more getting broke up or rotting they are slowly becoming a classic.
You can still get a GTI for around the £300 mark , MOT faliure or short ticket , saw a minter a few months ago unmolested for £700 with 70k. Still kicking myself I didn't buy it and stash it away.
I think the mk3 has loads of character & with the different models , GTI 8v , 16v , colour concept , anniversary , VR6 , highline , fans have lots of options.

paceo reacted to Jimjon in VR6 engine crank seal - where does this plastic mount go? gearbox side
Yep, just pushes over, tbh i remember once it being a pain and just fitted the seal without using the white thing.
You need to use a hammer and some wood to fit the seal into the timing chain cover.

paceo reacted to sleepymike in dropping a corrado 2.9 coilpack engine into my dizzy golf vr6 - how do i remove this bolt? AHHHHHHH!
Take off the rocker cover and hold the cam steady with a set of adjustables or right size spanner where it's hex'ed on the actuall cam shaft. The bolt is a normal thread,lefty loosey righty tightey.
It will be tight and awkward to get by yourself as 1 one hand will be pushing the other will be pulling!
Not sure what the metal bit in the dizzy hole is, never seen it before. It's not of the brown bit on the bottom of the dizzy is it?
The pronged bit that's bolted to cam sprocket that the dizzy locates into is notched and only fits into the sprocket 1 way.
Edited with a picture of the possible metal clip that should be attached to the bottom of the dizzy.

To give you an idea of what it would cost as I'm doing a similar thing at the moment, head rebuild with skim, valve guides stem seals and new lifters £360. Tensioners and chains around £190, + obviously the 2.9 engine and labour to put it all together you're probably getting on for, or more than likely well over £1000. If I were confident that the engine was a good'un and all the above had been done I think I wouldn't be afraid to give £500 or maybe more for it. I know you can buy a good runner 2.8 for probably £150 of ebay or whatever, but you'd want to at least put new chains on that + whatever else it might need. Hope that helps!
