VR6Pete 1,455 Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 I'd get the full housing and all seals, they warp over time, and leak...I picked up a full hosuing / seals / thermostat and crack pipe for 26 quid off ebay ! Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Easy job even for a novice. First DIY I did on my vr.Taking the battery out gives more space to work. WD40, or better still Plusgas, the bolts before hand. And as Pete said replace the lot. Link to post Share on other sites

thegoth 5 Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 if you just do part you will have to be very, very, careful not to crack the other plastic bits as the will have become brittle over age / heat cycling. Link to post Share on other sites
