    My sills will probably have to be completely replaced :unsure: they've had years of small repairs done badly (admittedly some by me) now they have collapsed in at the front and I think the rear would follow suit if I offered up a jack to them!

    The sunroof drain pipes had split in mine causing the headlining to sag down and letting water run down the A pillar straight into the foot wells. My heater matrix is ok just a shame the blowers don't work :angry:

    Heater matrix is a complete dash removal job I'm assuming?

    yup,all gota come out,for a 5 minute job in total!!!..my sill are real bad,outers not to bad but inners are shot!!.my headlining is the same,but not from sunroof splitting drain tubes,just old age..so needs work,just put a stainless downpipe on last night and paid £80 for 2 new gti bottom arms(which I was told would fit)and found out they don't!!(they don't have the brackets for the anti roll bar drop links),so have a pair for sale if anyone wants them!!.haha..I'm toying with getting a 8 valve gti that's down the road from me,but like vr6's so I don't know....i really SHOULDN'T get the gti but its nice,,and solid!!!

    yep,cheers bb,but its not that simple unfortunately as the maf sensor is a different type to the one on there.its the metal type,I have the plastic type on mine at the mo,which is also 4 wire,the gti is 3 wire,.i need to see a pic of bog standard vr6 so I can see what a obd1 type maf sensor is like,also are all obd1 sensors 4 wire ...i ve been top the airbox stuff I same as gti,but it seems not unless I have different parts/set up on mine...groan!!!!
