    Could do with abit more info.. I would check for spark breaking down first. Possible coil pack or leads faulty

    Your car still at stealth Pete?

    I've got a golf highline and mine hasn't got one, the pedal is just bare metal with groves in it? Are they supposed to have one?

    Is the car fitted with a tracker? Some trackers have panic buttons included? Just another thought?

    Fantastic sound.... Looking forward to seeing the figures.. Nice one mate

    I'm pretty sure they are 28 & 30 mm 4 pot calipers so with my calculations that's a total of 116mm piston area? Is that correct?

    Thanks for reply's but once again conflicting opinions lol. Difficult one this.. Thanks viw28 for those part numbers... The front Porsche calipers would undoubtably be more powerful. Shame as everything I need is with this setup...

    Hi vr gurus, I have located a set of rear boxter s calipers, adapters and 312mm discs intended for the front of a golf vr6. My question is are the rear boxter s calipers any more powerful than the standard vr fronts? After searching on here I haven't found a definite answer.. Any advice would be most welcome. Regards Zac.

    There is one curently listed for sale on ebay, it has cracked between the valves so is for spares or repairs. Not sure if its a common problem with these?? They may be ported out close to the tolerances... ??

    Severe overheating causing the oil to break down and loose its lubricating qualities is another poss.

    The metal swarf that you have found is defiantly from the shells and nothing to do with the chain, as I'm sure you know now. This will have most likely been caused due to lack of oil or oil pressure, I'm sure that large piece of plastic you pulled out of the strainer wasn't helping oil flow.

    You need to upload the vids to somewhere like photobucket, then link that video in your posts on this site, may even work with YouTube? I use photobucket myself

    The black is for removing covers from wheel bolts, the red looks like a tiny stick of dynamite...

    Hi Vince i have seen your vid on youtube a few times..... shame it's filmed at night, never saw the car. just heard something that sounded powerful and angry flying past . induction very likely does play a roll in exhaust notes too. what induction kit you using in that vid??

    we all sound like bird enthusiasts with all this searching for the burbling warbler
  20. cactusjackslade
    lol yes but its not going to help my burble warble sitting on my bed.... i struggle for time to fit the parts i have brought to the car.... i will soon need another shed to put them in as the one is currently overflowing. and thanks guys i overlooked the 6 branch manifolds only thing is im hoping to go turbo in the near future so not sensible to invest in one at the mo...

    Spectacular figures!! Look how smooth the power and torque delivery is too! Has Vince given you a collection date yet?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    That would be great, iv just brought a decat pipe so will probably be trying it myself when i have time. i look forward to your before and after video Hi lukey.. don't get me wrong iv got some warble but i know it could be better listening to others.. what exhaust are you running out of interest?
  23. cactusjackslade
    omg i need some new pants too please....... I'm as excited as you nick lol

    Hi and thanks for reply, I think the cat must be deadening the pulsing/ burble sound of the engine somewhat, I'm just not sure how much by? I really like the sound of the miltek. Not too loud or raspy..... A nice deep factory tuned sound. I've watched videos on YouTube and some people have got the vr rumble coming through really well.... Mabe someone will be along soon who have recently fitted a decat pipe and could give us more info..

    Hi fellow vr lovers, I currently have a miltek cat back system and cda air box fitted. Sounds very nice under load but I would like to get abit more of the vr burble note through, I was wondering if anyone out there has found a noticeable difference to the exhaust note after fitting a decat pipe? I've searched the forum but not found much about sound before and after.... Cheers in advance.
