hi Firstly I should say that I don't own a vr6 I am really hoping I've come across a friendly form where someone might be able to help me I've got a range rover classic where I've upgraded my alternator for all the electric gizmos I've got on it The alternator used in the vR6 golf Mark 3, corrado Is ideal for doing this as it doesn't need any change of the bracket on my car and easy to put in part number 021 903 025g I think it comes under other numbers as well. All working fine except that my tachometer isn't working but it should be. I am really hoping th

Had the Mk3 24v wagon taxed and on the road now for a few weeks. Had a full exhaust and downpipe at Infinity. 3 coilpacks died on the first long run so replaced all 6 for new. No issues lately. Really happy with the result, it pulls so well all the way through the range...and that noise. Handed out a couple of dual carriageway tailgater surprises. 280mm brakes seem to be up to the job too. If anyone is considering swapping a 24v Mk3 swap, do it. It'll put a smile on your face.

Thanks both. Plugs were changed about 2 months ago. They said the damage was on the plug as tool was not used - my mechanic does use the tool though! Defo think the issue is with the leads as car is now running much worse than it was & the leads are the only thing that have been changed. The set that was on there gave a slight hesitancy the refurbed set miss-fire all over the place making the car almost undriveable. Maybe I have been unlucky but did not expect to get so little time out of 2 sets of what are supposed to be quality leads. Will try & get the leads swapped back o

Can't really comment on Magnecor leads as i've never used them. I just run standard factory leads an they're fine. Not sure whether you have or not as you've not said, but check you plugs as they may need replacing....? Not trying to tell my Grandma to suck eggs as the saying goes? But worth a look see..

That's a bit of a bummer and quite the opposite from when I dealt with magnecor about 8 years ago. What damage did they say it was? Only thing that springs to mind is if plug removal tool wasn't used and has caused damage on the plug. The leads in running were off my old mk3 I smashed on the Nurburgring in 2005, they got beat up and sent them off to magnecor 8 years ago and still using them today on my supercharged Corrado. Are you sure the spark plugs / coil pack is ok? I know from experience having a schrick fitted doesn't make for an easy job replacing plugs and leads and feel your fr

Would love a set. But the postage to UK is tooo much for me.
