    Hi there all, just had the Audi A3 handle kit welded into my doors they are looking good but my mate who has fitted them says it looks like a pain to get them to work with the mechanism in the door. So any hints and tips or even a quick guide that will speed the connection of this would be great!

    Well a few months ago I cracked my sump. When it came to refitting I did not replace the gasket, and it has now started to leak from the join. So I guess I need a new gasket, which is a dealer only part. But do I need new bolts as well, and if so what are they Torqued to? This could also turn out to be a simple guide to add to the Knowledge vault.

    venom motorsport managed to get hold of new rings direct from germany for just £4.50 each. I originally purchased them from Awesome GTI but they told me that FK did no replacement rings and my coilovers were now unable to ever be adjusted!!!!!

    I have just gone to adjust the hieght of my vr and found that even though i had waxed underneath the rings and kept them reasonably clean the f@?kers have gone and seized so i will have to cut them off my problem comes when trying to get hold of new adjustment rings. if anyone knows of a supplier please let me know cheers.

    While undertaking hard cornering i have recently heard a bleep given off by my vr that comes from behind the dash i thought this might be a low oil warning but theres no low level/pressure light on and the dipstick seems to read normal any ideas??

    my camber is within limits but my toe is out on both rear wheels. left being 0 deg 19 mins and right being 0 deg 17 mins. the right was within limits to start with but when the adjustments had been made to the front wheels the rear right toe was put out of limits.

    Ive just had a full alignment carried out and my vr is still pulling to the left. the before and after report shows that the toe was out on both nearside wheels. the front wheels are the only ones that can be adjusted. so before i decide that my rear axle is bent what else could be the problem? ive just had the stub axle replaced on that very wheel and that made no difference could it be that axle bush or something else. there also seems slight uneven tyre wear on the wheel too.

    hey seademon are those the lower air intakes with fog lights in them on your vr if so where did ya get them from?
  9. DommyVR6
    no luck lads the dealers basically told be to get lost if i could not prove it was'nt from a stone chip. He was'nt even aware that VW had a policy for 12 years either which is on the vw website. what idiots do they employ these days!!!

    i used the black resin that the window fitter kindly donated to me after fitting my window. it worked a treat no need to be bolted on aswell. as for where you could get some maybe halfords. if still no luck ask the window fitters where.
  11. DommyVR6
    the camber was adjusted on the front but you cant do the rears you can only check them and they didnt mention they were out of line or anything. my mate who knows golfs insideout is now gunna fit my stub axle anyhow he reckons it is bent he said they are quite comon as they have heavy load bearing on a small diameter shaft.

    im planing to fill in my indicators and fog lights movin the foglight into the lower air intake ive seen these for sale somewhere ive just forgot where. does anyone know where i know SWG done some to go with their bumper but im sure there are sum that go in the standard one.

    anyone got a quick guide or tips for fitting an rear near side axle stub axle stub. im still trying to figure out why my vr has been pulling to the left so much now it looks asthough the stub alxe might be bent as the wheel is sitting funny (tillted in at the top more than the off side rear and wearing the tyre uneve, funny that youd of thought they would of noticed when they checked full camber and allignmemnt 4 months ago. would this cause it to pull to the left.
  16. DommyVR6
    well im askin this as my 1998 highline has developed a rust bubble patch on the lower seam of one of the doors. and so im tryin to find out if im eligable for vw to carry out the work for free before i get it done myself elsewhere.
  17. DommyVR6
    Well ive had my camber and wheel alignment done today but is had mede no diffrence to the pulling to the left problem any ideas on what to do or check next? i dont know that when i get new tyres this might help as it went a couple of months b4 i got the alignment done. Or that the left brake might be binding slightly but the car stays in a straight line under hard braking.

    Theres someone selling de cat pipes on ebay he said he knows they will fitt a 8v and 16v but he dont know if they will fit a 1998 vr6 anyone know?
  20. DommyVR6

    I recently fitted the fk highsport coilovers and after fittment my 1998 vr6 highline now pulls to the left. after i raised it slightly the problem is not so bad but is still there. if while going in a straight line i pull the steering to the right and let go it snaps back to the centre, but if i do the same on the left it doesnt really do anything. I have booked my car in for this thursday for camber and 4 wheel alighnment but the guy reckons he only has vw setting guide to go by. Has any one had this problem b4? any ideas?

    i am currently in the progress of refiting my miltek system on to my new highline and was wondering if removing my cat will make much difference. if so where is the best place to purchase a cat bypass pipe and for how much as the bypass pipe on my old vr6 looks pretty stuck on?
  23. DommyVR6
    thanks for all the advice i can now get back too driving my new highline with no worries and a big smile on my face.
  24. DommyVR6
    i have just brought a 98 r highline with 90,000 and a full service history only worry is that the oil temp is averaging 90 degrees. my last vr6 was a 92 j reg and it never went much above 70 degrees. so is this just normal or what could be the problem?
  25. DommyVR6
    i just brought the cheapest kit which venom motorsport provide to see me through untill i get my highline as my standard suspension had hadit. it did make a difference but i now know not to recommend that kit if you've got a vr6. ive heard many people rate the koni shocks eibach springs setup is there much difference between these and a set of coilovers, just thinking ahead!
