have had a problem with my sharan vr6 since the lifters were done on of them gets noisy when the engine warms up. Have been advised by a mechanic friend that before stripping it down again to use forte engine flush and forte top end treatment. Luckily this motor only has 60000mls on it any ideas if this will work the stealth bomber needs sorted (call it the stealth bomber because the boy racers dont know whats going on till its to late) and they have been humped. Local specialist who done the job refuses to rectify the problem put the car in as it was extremley noisy i thought it was the follo

ticking gets louder and faster as engine reved it is a faulty tappet. as a couple of mechanics have listened to it both have said sometimes this happens. the stealth bomber needs some attention for this but the problem i have is that everyone seems to scared to touch it.I have lost faith in the local spescialist in fife any one know of someone in this area who would be able to tackle this correctly. the main issue i think with working on this vehicle is that this vehicle is designed for a 4 pot deisel not a vr6 but a great combo none the less

if you are going to use ps3 or x box better using a kit with a seperate amp i have 2 kits linked both pioneer 10 speakers and a 12" active sub both kits have 2 optical inputs and 2 coaxial inputs so skyhd ps3 and hd dvd can stay connected a bit mad but sounds awsome luckily both neighbours eldely and partialy deaf as the name sudgests madspark

Put my sharan vr6 s in to a local spescialist in fife to get the lifters done and the chain tensioners done. (59000mls) tensioners dont like it when you miss 5th and hit 3rd when racing nephews 2.2 vtec. Destroyed the tensioners had to get engine removed as bolts sheered, back to problem when engine cold for about 2min sounds fantatic. Unfotunatly when it warms up a loud tick starts went back to complain but told that it was an oil feed problem i recon faulty lifter. Totaly sick of said spescialist who else in fife can rectify this fault as like annoying wee boy racers but ticking annoying.

i have a 99 sharan vr6 sport with only 6 seats as said by pinkguitar one of the rear seats has a lap belt move it to centre and get an other for rear but depends on trim i couldnt get one with the same but got one on ebay for 99p with £20 delivery once the baby seat is on it no one notices

on the sharan the rings are on the driveshaft/cv joint any help or sudgestions welcome

i own a 1999 sharan vr6 sport (great fun)when i pull away when first starting car the abs kicks in although the brakes are not being touched i traced this to one side abs rorors/ring being split and staying stationary any one know if it is possable to just replace the rings and if so where can i get them

just had 2 of my relations (cousins)who are both mechanics have a listen to it both said it sounds like a single tappet and said he has had a simaler problem with vauxhalls (he is a vauhall mechanic poor bloke) usualy caused by an airlock in the tappet is this posable with the vw engine also if the oil pump is part of the pick up has any one got a link to info on same cheers frae the mad spark

59000 mls

just had a bit of work done on my sharan vr6 put my car in to a local specialist in fife various people reconed that the noise from the n/s of engine was tappets/lifters but on inspection when covers removed timing chain tensioners destroyed same was replaced but i said to go ahead and do the lifters anyway as engine stripped got car back but now heavy tappet noise from o/s of engine have been told possably caused by partialy blocked oil pick up oppinions and rcomendations welcome soon be looking for a schrick to give the stealth bomber more power

does the noise get louder when you rev the engine also which side is it noisy from

check max power pioneer do a cd/mp3 head unit for about £90

what a rare find a fellow sharan owner there is an interrior light control unit (timed relay which switches on and keeps lights on for a few seconds when doors closed) they some times fail try changing same

i know this isnt the correct section but this will get more veiwing i own a 99 sharan vr6 sport (only 59000mls) it still has the original 16" bbs alloys mining lookin for somethin better any one got any thig for sale but please no film star prices this is a family car with an attitude problem

i own a 99 sharan vr6 sport with 60 000 miles on it (great for pissing of boy racers i like to think vr6 drivers as grown up) i have had a noise for a while but it dissapered when hot but now just gets quieter been sudgested maybe a cam follower i spoke to a couple of the local specialists ie dealers but they seemed to shy away when i said sharan vr6 any ideas
