anna 0 Posted June 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 well after nearly blowing the engine up last night thanks to vw giving me the wrong oil (they are getting a nasty phone call this morning as that ws a waste of 60 quid and i want free oil and filter off them) it runs. Had to do an oil change at miidnight in the dark but the noise from the wrong oil sounded awful it was too thin adn when it was changed it dissapeared and i took it for a drive. Drives smooth pretty happy.and thanks to ben who custom make me an adaptor for my 6 branch to fit it works awsome.am doing another oil change tonight to make sure all the wrong oil is out then gong for a drive in it to drumming practise Link to post Share on other sites

Phat VR6 3 Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 i donno what do you want lol.. i have excuses for loosing anyway what oil did the knobbers give you?

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 right wondering if any of you can help - Anna has a slight problem with the car, at around 4000 revs under heavy acceleration the car is holding back a bit, it seems to struggle for power but only around at around this rev range. It pulls well and normally at lower revs ??Any ideas ??? Link to post Share on other sites
