    I've just done the head gasket a month ago and everything looked fine, the car was runnin sweet until i put that wynns stuff in it!!!, it was on Dubsports rollers the week previous and put out a healthy 178.9bhp (corrected), the cam snapped or should i say broke away at the point where the woodruff key sits inside the timing cog, i'm not sure if the valves hit pistons or what??, is there enough clearance to avoid this on a vr6???

    Hi all, i have a 92 Vr6 Golf and it's smoke a bit on overrun, i wanted to calm this down a little untill i had the money for a bottom end rebuild so i used " Wynns Stop Smoke", i added it to the engine like it said and ran it to work , it ran fine, set off back home 3 hrs later, it ran fine, 100 miles round trip i might add so it definately had chance to get all round the engine!!, The following morning i started the car and set off, i didn't even make it out of my drive!!!!!!!!!!!! Just had the top cover off and guess what i found??, A SNAPPED CAM!!!!, The oil pressure must have been that hi

    Hi all, i've just bought a 92 Golf VR6 and in the 3 months i've owned it , it's had a really low idle speed of 550-650rpm!! but sometimes either when cold or hot it's idle will fluctuate quite badly sometimes to the point of stalling!!. I've given it a full service inc plugs, leads, cap, rotor all filters (Genuine) and replaced the head Gasket and chain tensioner as they were both needed but nothing seems to affect the low idle speed and the fluctuations??? I've owned G60's up to now and if this were to happen to a G60 i'd replace the ISV to cure the idle speed fluctuations but what about the
