jesterwalker69 0 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Good thread hun, inspiring me to get my chains done. Especially after seeing that guide and hearing Tonys comments while he fitted my cams.Gotta say i have the same idea, while the engines out clean the bay! At least then i'd be able to get at it properly and will save all the skin on the Brandons hands lol!Tony i think you need to move more north, you're currently too far away for me to abuse your wealth of knowledge!

VR6Nat 9 Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Thanks Ollie! :) I think its worth getting them done for sure. you should ask Dlea as he's more up your way and he's very reasonably priced..... Poor little Brandon, so used!!! lol. :) Link to post Share on other sites

jimballs 0 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Wow nice VR Nat, looks tidy. Where do these deep chin spoilers come from? Are they a standard item on some VRs? I see a lot of them in pics here, although I'm quite fond of the dinky little 'CL looking splitter I seem to have, and you had in the original picture. Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Nat 9 Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Thanks for your comment Jim, Im very happy with him thanks.yeah some VRs as standard came with that splitter, but i got mine off Ebay for 23 delivered, and they're a 5min job to put on.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-Golf-MK3-3-GTI-Vento-VR6-Deep-Bumper-Spoiler-Lip-16V_W0QQitemZ400057844341QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item5d254e4275&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C72%3A1683%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50 thats the guy i got mine from, must say the clips were a little loose so i had to pad them out, but its been fine ever since and ive had no problems with it.... :) Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote']You wont learn unless you have a go mate. Now ive seen Tony change a head gasket on mine its actually quite easy to do things. Only diiference really from what I saw Tony do to mine is gearbox never came off and thats easy enough just tricky Link to post Share on other sites
laurenceh 0 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 i always did stuff on the mk2 myself but i generally don't let myself near cam belts or timing chains cos i do have a habit of forgetting to do things up properly! lol - like steering wheels but thats another story!!

Dave_ciw 507 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Sorry to eat up your thread Nat lol I did a head gasket with info downloaded off this site, just read up well took my time 3 days lol but most of that was broken socket pieces on the head bolts. But I did it and ssaved myself a fortune. There is a tapping from my new one, think it could be the guide rails and tensioners. Link to post Share on other sites
