You got access to a scanner 

 

I will do at some point yes mate. Probably not until weekend though. Will get it done as soon as. 

 

Since posting ive topped up the coolant, this was completely dry tbh. Can't see any leaks so worried about where that's gone 

[Vr6 rough running and coolant light]

Brought my mk2 vr6 out today for its weekly run. 

 

Car ran very rough for most of the short journey, spluttering and popping a lot. 

 

Car lost all power and stopped once once and felt like it was holding itself back while trying to accerlerate. 

 

Coolant light cane came on flashing at once point and now hasn't gone off.

 

Will top up my coolant when I get a chance from work.

 

abything else to try/look at. 

 

Will be ordering new plugs this week anyway. 

 

New ht leads to come soon too.

Welcome to the club and VR ownership! No better noise out there!! Oh apart from a Supercharged VR6 . You got anything else planned for it?

Thanks !

The noise is incredible, can't get enough. 

 

Plans  so far are, big audio build, New interior and Some good coilovers. 

 

Then some engine dress up changes, little bit too much white for me.

 

and a freshen up of the plasitics and trim outside.

Was this the mk2 at fitted uk?

 

It was yes, owned by Rob Kelly. 

I bought it from him a couple of weeks ago.

Hi all, 

 

Picked up a mk2 vr6 this week as a show car build for next year. 

My first vr6 and first classic car. Loving it so far. 

 

Car has already had some pretty extensive work but quite a lot I'll be changing for myself. 

 

Spec is,

 

'91 Mk2 Golf GTI 

VR6 Swap

Ported+Polished Head

Cams (unsure of spec as of yet)

Raceland manifold

BMC intake 

Shaved Bay

Straight Through exhaust 

 

Half show cage

Bassmechanix boot build 

Genesis Amps

Rockford fosgate sub

 

Few issues with some electric gremlins but other than that it's a solid fun car. 

First mod so far is some lovely BBS Ra's

Some serious plans in the work for this one, I'll get round to a build thread at some point
