Hi Guys, a few months later but, I have the same problem which left me at the side of the road on the way to work! Whilst I am English, I moved to France ten years ago. Three years ago my Dad said "Come to England and pick up the VR6. it's yours!". Today, I found myself in the shit with the same problem that you guys had! I'm having some trouble understanding what you finally did to "turn it off will 100% fix it". She will start once after a battery disconnect and then BLOCKED! Disconnect the battery and, good to go ONE TIME ONLY! HELP! Rich

Hi all, Just a quickie! Will a (Magnaflow) cat-back exhaust system go through an MOT? All the best, Rich.

Hey Pete, Thanks for your advice! Having gone to England and back in 2 days by plane and ferry in a force 9 and then having spent 10 days wrestling with the French authorities and VW France I'm happy to know that you are there for me to correct me on my use of the Caps Lock key! Keep up the good work and thanks for the worthwhile advice! Rich.

THANKS FOR THAT yakuza racer. VW IN FRANCE THOUGHT THAT ONLY CARS FROM SWITZERLAND HAD BLANK WEIGHT FIELDS AND THEY MAKE THE BLOODY CARS! RICH.

THE THING IS GUYS THE FRENCH AUTHORITIES DONT DO BLANKS! I DONT WANT TO GIVE THEM ANY EXCUSES TO TURN ME DOWN BY SAYING 'HEY, THEYRE ALL LIKE THAT'! RICH.

THANKS caddyslammed I HOPE I CAN FIND SOMEONE TO HELP.......? RICH

HAVING JUST IMPORTED A '96 MKIII VR6 TO FRANCE I HAVE TO HOMOLOGATE IT AMONGST OTHER THINGS. HERE LIES THE PROBLEM!!!!

I HAVE; GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT GROSS COMB WEIGHT PERM AXLE WEIGHT FRONT PERM AXLE WEIGHT REAR TYPE. THANKS IN ADVANCE, RICH.

Thanks Tony, Hey, I'm just a 'newbee' looking for a reliable 250 horses....! It is not my intention to stir the shit around here. Particularly as I only just signed-up...! The 'pulley tension' issue however interests me! Note the 'upgrade' to the mk 3 blower! Any other takers? Rich.
