Octobers feature car 2014 This months favourite car goes to one of our newest members here on VR6OC. It's TJ Carroll and his lovely mk2 Jetta. It's running the 2.8 24v VR6 in a smoothed and shaved bay. The wheels are also a particular favourite of ours with the plus of being extremely rare. Anyway, here is a few words from the man himself.

Oh and +1 on the bentley, bit expensive but easily pays for itself. Torque specs at hand make it so much easier

I thought now the seasons done i'd post a few pictures up from my first year with the VWDRC to show you all what you've been missing out on! And of course i counldn't forget.... me winning the championship and a big trophy! All thanks to the mighty VR6!

I am a girl lol!! But good luck, dont rush it, took me really 2 years to get mine finished! Any question just ask ok

Oooops sorry my bad! I am going to take my time but not 2 years worth lol [emoji12] I will put up any issues I have on here then you can all help me out. Need to get GTI international out the way this weekend then I am ready to go!

I thought that oil leak was the anti corrosion system at work?! I won't test my own apparently it's frowned upon by the jobsworths at vosa Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice build, get your msa licence and start competing! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

just check the ecu relay before hand iv had one go down on me before, that will give the same symptoms.

Victor reinz headgasket, elring for head bolts and crank seal, genuine for chains guides and tensioners. Genuine is more money but the timing system is the most critical part of the whole thing so it's worth the extra

If your going for a catch can you could just put another hose to the throttle body hose and have it sealed properly

You may want to have the block looked at by a specialist as new rings may not be worthwhile if there is a lot of wear or scoring to it. Head gasket definitely do whilst its off. The VR6 doesn't have a cambelt. It uses timing chains and tensioners, all of which are worth replacing if they haven't been already. Other things to consider would be; Clutch+new mounting hardwareCrank end oil sealThermostat, thermostat housing, 'crack' pipe and all associated seals and fixingsPossibly oil cooler+hoses, definitely the oil cooler seals Probably worth giving the cylinder head a refresh with new valv
