well today i decided im taking it off the road tommorow and re-insured the polo until sorted as i now have steam comming outta the dash when its at standstill after being run for a bit anyway im going to crack on with it sunday and take my time i think i will document the process with plenty pictures lol just a quick question on these vr6's how do i go about bleeding the system once the matrix has been done as the haynes manual doesnt cover the vr6 engine is there any bleed screws on any of the coolant pipes ? or do it just let it run with the expansion cap off

Hi all just bought a new heater matrix but it doesnt have anywhere to to attach the little vac hose to in the middle of the pipes spoke to my supplier (nissens) he says they dont come with them anymore is this true and what do i do with the little vac hose can it be plugged or just tied up some where / what is it supposed to do and will it not affect my car in anyway being disconnected dont want to fit it build everything back up and find out something doesnt work or doesnt sound right all help much appreciated ps also had a look at valeo ones they didnt have it either

well seems be running again diconnected the immobilizer but must have disturbed something as i now have the handbrake warning light on dash and doesnt go off when i put the lever down checked my fluid seems ok plenty left on pads next job heater matrix rack ends and tie rod ends

well the Rac man came back to look this morning and confirmed its the immobilizer but he couldn't bypass it i had a look and managed to find the control unit for it and trace the wires but im beginning to think its factory fit now as i traced the wires to behind the fuse box and they are not spliced into other wires but proper plug connections with vw stamped on them got an auto elec coming out tomorrow hopefully he should be able to sort

Hi guys could really do with some info if anyone could shed some light on the issue recently bought my vr6 had low water light coming on and had to top up coolant a few times over last two days not by much say quarter of a liter Friday afternoon and again this after noon i decided to today just to put a kseal in the water just incase i have a small weep somewhere anyway on the way home from work tonight the car just cut out as i was getting onto the motorway pulled it onto hard shoulder but it wouldn't restart there were no lights coming up ie batt light etc on bottom of clocks and was just
