[air conditioning removal]

I removed mine.

Just need a non-AC belt and to remove the pipes. Can be done easily

[New shoes]

Got a shot of how the 195's fit on the 7.5?

[195/40 on 17x7.5]

Not really of the 195's sorry there my winter wheels.

The red ones on 185's yeah I got loads.

Ah okay. I don't fancy going to 35 profiles.

[195/40 on 17x7.5]

Don't spose you have any that show the side profile of the tyre?

[195/40 on 17x7.5]

Anyone got any pics?

Preferably falken 912's but anything would be good.

Thanks

[Carbon Air Box induction kit]

I'll let you know soon as I've just ordered one for my VR6 Mk3 Cabby.  I have a BMC one on my VR6 Corrado so I'll be able to do a fair comparison.

 

Okay cool.

I have a mate that has offered me a BMC one but itll be a similar price as one of these new so not sure what to do.

[Carbon Air Box induction kit]

Has anyone used the ASH CDA induction kit. Does it differ much from the BMC one?

Any opinions?

[VR rad and fans]

I believe the 2 speed will be ok as I won't have ac anyway and the doc guide states that if the 3rd fan speed engages there is deeper trouble.

 

Yeah two speed will be fine. the 2nd speed is like a hurricane i dread to think what stage 3 is like

[VR rad and fans]

Maybe not then. I was looking for a new panel as my connector was snapped, but everything I looked at had the 3 pin plug so I repaired mine and gave up. haha

[VR rad and fans]

Yeah thats early mate.

My late one has four pins, one earth then 3 pins for different speeds I believe

[VR rad and fans]

[VR rad and fans]

Think it'll be 3 stage even though its early if it has air con

[VR rad and fans]

3 speeds is for cars with air con OBD2.

2 speed is for non air con OBD2.

3 speed fans also have and extra sensors on thermostat.

 

Ah yeah, I forgot Air con was involved

[VR rad and fans]

Yeah I'd imagine the whole cooling/fan wiring might be different from a 2 stage to 3 stage car.

[VR rad and fans]

The electrical connector changed from square to oval I believe.

Also not sure if all vr6's had 3 stage fans but my 97 OBD2 does

[Carbon canister removal/relocation]

Thanks guys

[ht leads in red]

I think red and blue are now obsolete,

And they only sell black at main dealers and TPS.

But I'm not 100% sure.

 

pretty sure this is the case

dub power used to do red and blue but also stopped. think 8mm+ is only choice for red or blue now

[Carbon canister removal/relocation]

I've got it diverted as best I can at the moment but isn't perfect. Might remove it but leave it reversible just in case

[Carbon canister removal/relocation]

I am wanting to run a cold air feed from lower bumper grills but the carbon canister is in the way as I'm sure many of you have come across.

what is preferred?removing completely and plugging one of the hoses?or relocating to passenger side?

 

cheers

[ht leads in red]

If you cut or file the tabs 8mm fit.
I bought my blue ones from a company on ebay, they are listed for passat vr6 but fit fine and are good quality. All work as they should.

[Free to a good vr6]

Well the misfire I clocked was a weird one... The left rear spark plug channel was full of oil the had leaked in from a split breather pipe!

 

I had this. new breather, new plugs, new leads and new rocker cover gasket solved it

[Coolant hoses]

Isnt that top rad then the expansion tank one joins to it. whereas samco is all one hose.
