hi I had the same thing, get the one that's not immobilised. its from early cars so hard to find otherwise I think its about £100 to swap it from car to car, I mean someone chips it to your key and ignition ring.

as title i have a dizzy golf vr6 obd1 head, just wondering are coilpack ones the same as there will be no drive to run the dizzy from a coilpack head?
-
enough money dude!! but wondering if i have the head skimmed, would i need a decompression plate for the extra skimming taken off to build it up again surely???
-
this is the charger - vortec V1, i was told by vince its running 8psi, as vince from stealth removed this and checked it over.
-
my headgasket has gone dude, so im going to install a decompression plate while i get my head rebuilt. is it really worth going ARP head bolts or just buying standard headbolts?? price difference is unreal!
-
thank you guys, last question are obd1 and obd2 heads the same?? got a obd2 head going on my obd1 car!
-
does the timing chain cover need to be skimmed on a vr6?
cpfcvr6 replied to cpfcvr6's topic in General Chat
cool i will be running a headspacer. its a obd2 head im getting rebuilt but i think it will go onto my obd1 block. hoping the cam cover is the same for both obd1 and obd2???? headgasket is weeping all around the block so thats why i want to change it all! -
ive got a good second hand cylinder head for my golf vr6. i cant take my head off as i need my car running for getting to work, so once vince at stealth racing has rebuilt this one, i will swap it over on my day off work. one thing do i need to get that timing chain cover skimmed aswel?? are all obd1 and obd2 covers the same?? if yes ill get one off ebay.

ive got a OBD1 golf vr6 as you know but i cant have it off the road for long as i need it for work! ive found a OBD2 head for sale for cheap! i am getting this rebuilt / skimmed etc............. will this fit on my OBD1 block?? i know there is something different about the top chains with one being a single chain and one being a double?? what about the side chain covers will that need to be skimmed or is it ok??
-
are you doing it yourself? see your in new zealand!!
-
cool, then obviously i need to find a decompression plate from somewhere, would guess stealth sell them!
-
i know dude, but wont be just be a standard gasket that cant be split?
-
will the tps one just be a standard reinz gasket that cant be split?? any links on ebay will be good!
-
ive had my car 5 years and its doing it, this is usually the first point of HG failure, im taking my head off and getting it fully rebuilt. are you sure its torqued down correctly?
-
good info!
-
for my headgasket problems, sorry to ask many questions! thanks guys
-
for peace of mind i may do it, will ring some places tomorrow!
-
as title, is it necessary to skim the golf vr6 2.8 cylinder head? my headgasket is weeping and im replacing with a metal gasket and decompression plate! if yes how many MM safely get away with skimming it for? or will i be ok?? it doesnt overheat now and no oil / water mixing. regards - thanks for the info guys your all great!
-
vince at stealth said its up to me, could possibly get away with it! but for peace of mind as its got to come off i may aswell do it! where do i get a proper good metal headgasket and spacer from??
-
thanks lukey, i thought initially the reinz headgasket could be split!! whats the best multi layered headgasket that people use?? do not want cheap crap!! any links?
-
stage 2 supercharger running 10 psi, i have no idea what one i need?? does this just fit with the normal headgasket?
-
thats why i wanted ARP for peace of mind!! as i have a stage 2 charger running 10psi. cant find any links here for arp headbolts on this shitty phone!
-
for the cylinder head dude!
-
is that a standard vr6 golf part number?
