    I have found the problem, the disc was fouling the bottom ball joint. Shaved a little off the ball joint and its all fixed!

    There is definately play there, with the wheel off I can pull the disc so it contacts the caliper. I thought it may be a bearing issue (or a hub issue) but its odd as this problem has only shown up after I have centered the steering rack? Could there be another reason for the sound to do with ARB/steering rack? Its definately not rubbing on the arch as I have raised the car significantly up and its as bad as ever

    I have an interesting problem which I am hoping someone can help me get to the bottom. I recently chnaged my steering wheel, and had 4 wheel laser alignment afterwards. I noticed that it only took 1 and 1/4 turns to full lock left and 1 and 3/4 right. So I removed the steering wheel, centered the steering rack and put the steering wheel back on. Ever since then everytime I am turning left quickly, or on full lock to the left there is a HORRIBLE scraping sound. It appears to be the brake disc touching the caliper on closer isnepction, but this wasnt there before. I have r32 discs and uprated ca

    I have the AC controls, but the car had a dash transplant from a cab or highline model. The bulkhead doesnt have the holes so it cant be an ac model. Ill have to open the windows and sunroof! lol

    Hi guys what are the deifferences in the bulk head between A/C and non versions? Has anyone got any pictures? I was told my vr6 has had the A\C system stripped out but I want to be sure before I start to re-install it, and I thought I might eb able to tell if it had A\C previously by looking at the bulkhead

    When I bought my VR6 I was told the air con system was stripped out by the previous owner to reduce some weight. It appears all the controls and loom is there in the interior cabin. I have bought a compressor, all the piping and the rad thats needed for re-install but I am trying to find out if I am missing anything. What electrical components for the air con are needed in the engine bay? If anyone can give me a rough guide how to re-install this id be eternally grateful (as my local VW specialist wants to charge 400 for the privalege

    All the catch tanks I see listed for a VR6 have 15mm piping - will this be an issue? Thanks

    It does quieten down a LOT when its warmed up, to a point where only a light ticking can be heard from within the cabin (no soundproofing I guess). I am using 10w40 at present. Thanks

    Hard to say, but slightly more noticeable from the drivers side of the engine. I just recorded a video clip of it on my phone, starting from cold can I email it to you?
  14. jamester
    Actually its more of a ticking sound lol
  15. jamester
    Has anyone got a sound clip of a VR^ engine starting up from cold? Mine makes a tapping sound for a few minutes - nothing major just want to make sure all is ok. Its juts had brand new lifters put in and the chains were changed last year and seem fine. Wondered if this was normal on tickover - plus my bonnet has no soundproofing lol

    Thank you

    That sounds great, is this difficult/costly to acheive?

    Hi guys, im getting fed up of breathing in the fumes from my oil breather filter lol. What are my options for relocating this from the top of the engine bay? Anyone got any guides or pictures? Thanks
  19. jamester
    My mk3 vr6 is suffereing from a strong fuel smell inside the cabin, could this potentially be from the oil breather filter thats installed in the engine bay? I do notice it smokes a lot on a cold start, is this normal? Thanks

    I just checked and it appears the airbag itself is missing. What I did find was a black plug (similar to the drivers side airbag plug) marked "191 972 702" would this be the plug for the airbag?

    Hi guys, I am looking to tidy up the interior of my VR6 and need a set of sill cover clips and some clips for the rear door cards. I cant seem to find them anywhere on ebay. Do VW still sell them? Or does anyone know where to source them?
  22. jamester
    Haha thanks guys
  23. jamester
    Thank you so does this require removal of thr airbag itself to see the plug?
  24. jamester
    HI guys, I have a suspicion the passenger airbag on my vr6 has been unplugged by the previous owener. Where would I find the plug for the airbag? Would it be under the glovebox?
  25. jamester
    Yes im definately going to replace them, thanks guys
