    well i had something happen like this. the previous owner had put in incorrect bolts and my mechanic told me about this when he installed my springs. I asked him to order some correct bolts for me. Anyway about 4 days later im sitting at a set of lights, take off in 1st to about 4krpm, shift to 2nd release clutch and *BANG*. I lost all drive and it just made a horrible grinding noise. got the car to the side of the road and had a look. It had sheared ALL of the bolts off on one side

    lots of water and shit in the fuel tank maybe..... mine seems to run like shit when it gets below the 7L indicator (red area). Im gonna get the tank cleaned at some point soon.

    well if it is the magnecors they have lifetime warranty so ur ok there

    i reckon its the leads. Mine was doing exactly what your describing and it would go pop pop pop as the unburnt fuel ignites in the exhaust due to misfire. Replaced the leads and plugs and its all good now.

    BMC CDA is the way to go for air intake

    yeah did the same thing with mine as Russ did. Then went out for a run when it was 5c outside (cold for Australia) and holy crap did it make a difference... Low end torque increase was huge.

    go eibach springs (30mm drop) with Koni adjustable shocks (you can adjust how firm they are) I have this combo and my VR sits 105mm off the ground at the lowest point (front spoiler) and handles 1000 times better than stock

    check the basics, spark plugs and leads. Mine did this a while ago and it was because the 1st spark plug had a greasy buildup on it and was obviously not firing properly

    I am in australia and have a OBD1 1995 Golf VR6 and i was wondering if my ECU chip is soldered to the board or if it can be pryed out.

    heh just got mine back today from having a new thermostat and housing fitted. couple of days ago it just started pissing out coolant while i was sitting on a hill at a set of lights and a mate saw it dribbling down the hill and is like WTF

    im pretty sure its normal for VR6s to overfuel a wee bit on deceleration, and since i had my exhaust done (cat back) it is much more noticeable. On the fuel smell, when my compressor needed regasing it made a slight petrol smell when it was running but it wasnt pumping any cold air at all...

    well i was mildly surprised the other day when i came up against a brand new Subaru Forester XT 2.5L Turbo at a set of lights about 1am in the morning. he got a small jump off the line due to awd, but i then reeled him in and flew past him. next set of lights he just sat there looking at my VR All i have done to my VR is removed suitcase and got a decent muffler, and got a K&N Cone Filter with an aluminium heatshield so i was pretty happy having beaten a 170kw suby

    i can agree with Riggs on the growl Been loving it since i put my K&N Cone Filter in. Now i just need to get it some cooler air......

    mmm i remember my first car very well.... As a matter of fact i still have it... A 1995 Golf VR6 Colour Concept
  18. wakdog
    yeah i know i was kinda thinking i would pick them up anyway even if they wouldnt fit the golf as i reckon i could easily get more than im paying for them.
  19. wakdog
    I dont actually know, i only had a quick look at them today and got sent some photos. They are a 2 piece wheel tho i know that. now i need to find someone here to buy my BBS Solitudes.....

    i was just wondering how often you guys in the UK will see another VR6 on the road?? Since I got mine in January i have seen like 2 here in Australia as they are rare as hell here (i looked for like 3 months to get one with leather interior and a manual transmission....)
  21. wakdog
    yep pcd is definately 5x100 (im not that silly )
  22. wakdog
    pretty good for £250 ($600AUD) for 4 wheels. Seeing as they should fit, ill go pick them up tomorrow. Too bad i wont have any tires for a while, being a 17 year old university student
  23. wakdog
    I am wondering if these wheels: with dimensions of 17"x8" with an offset of +36 will fit my Golf VR6 Colour Concept (is lowered 30mm on stock) and what size tyre would be the best to run.
  24. wakdog
    well i cant put a pic of my previous car as the VR6 is my first car.......
