MrBen 0 Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Got a reply from the seller. Think he's a little annoyed with the number of people asking this, so don't anyone else ask him!Reply:Can you bid on it and then I will waste my time telling you of my question avoiding cunning plan which has back fired orribly? The question that gets on my tits is = When was the cambelt last changed? For all of you who don't know your VR6 s this solves a problem. Howeva this back fired and I'm in undated with your question now. Cant Win. Bid on it and you have a lovely car with recent TIMING BELT CHANGES AND TOOTH CHECKS. Link to post Share on other sites

acf8181 0 Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 don't feel sorry for him, he's selling a car and should expect q's....especially if he doesn't describe it accurately. Link to post Share on other sites
Slim 0 Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Hmm, now if I was him, I'd have put in my ad "recent timing chain replacements and servicing, those who know VR6's know that these are in place of a cambelt and are designed to last over 100k miles so it's not something you'll ever need to do again, and you can rest assured that the engine is well looked after and as strong as an ox."But then again, I'd assume that I'm a bit more intelligent than he is.

Eat this 2 Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 You asked:"erm u do know vr6 use timing chains not cam belts dont you??"Yes I do realise that it runs with a timing chain but there are so many questions from people who say Cam belt that its easier to list it like that. I cant change it because Ebay won't let me at the mo. Erm are you gonna bid on it or just pick holes in the advert? Link to post Share on other sites
