MANIA 0 Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 The manifold on my Mk3 has the initials VSR embossed in it in large letters, a VW Motorsport silver sticker and another embossing that looks a bit like a lowercase letter 'p'.Is this a Schrick manifold? [Edit - no it's not a Schrick, but it is a Good Thing apparently ](I'll post a pic tomorrow if necessary - I didn't have my camera with me when I was last down in the garage) Link to post Share on other sites

MANIA 0 Posted October 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 No, really - I only just found out about these things tonight - I'm Googling it now.I found a post on another forum by Antera309 who was selling one on eBay ... what'd you get for it (if you don't mind me asking?!)My Mk3 was fairly cheap and the previous owner only had it for a year (just after the engine rebuild and presumably when the VSR was fitted) so I don't think he knows anything about it either - I'm just wondering if I got a better deal than I thought!

Petesvw 0 Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Richard, it is a VSR, but not by shrick, pierburg i think.They are VERY rare, keep hold of that mate!RichieVR has one, had to buy the whole car to get it!!! Link to post Share on other sites
MANIA 0 Posted October 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 I've been doing a bit of hunting for pics of VSR's and can't find any that don't have the VW Motorsport logo embossed into it. Mine has 'VSR' and 'P' embossed into it but only a silver reflective sticker for VWM where the embossing should be. Also, the Part Number tag has no number on it that I can read ... I'll have to post a pic tonight ...Do you think I may have a prototype or pre-production manifold? Link to post Share on other sites
richievr 1 Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 it should look like this then - as far as i know they are all engraved - don't know why yours isn't??mine had a silver sticker with a part number on it in the lower right hand corner when i got it - the number was 021 133 202 VWM i removed the sticker when i polished it up but kept it at home......(sad case i know)does it look like this under the lead covers ???

MANIA 0 Posted October 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Yup that's the one, except mine is dull grey, scratched, oily, dirty and missing the centre black VR6-DOHC cover.I was completely wrong about the 'no VW Motorsport' embossing on mine - it has it for sure. Don't know why I thought it didn't!There's no sign of any number on the silver sticker.I'll post a pic later this evening Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 theyre winding you up... these manifolds are rare because they were all recalled by VW because of a fault... if you send it to me I'll send you a replacement Link to post Share on other sites

Bugger. Oh well, no worries, I found a standard manifold at the local garage - he said he'd throw the VSR away for me... Link to post Share on other sites
