Brilliant that person, why didnt i think of that, iv only one small problem, i cant fing the plastic cover that goes over the dizzy cap. Is there any one out there who would be willing to photograph there dizzy with plastic cover on and send it to me. Iv moved house since the car decided to stop working and the plastic cover could be anywhere, iv spent the last 20 mins looking and its not in my usual bits department. Thanks Homer bhobson15 at gmail.com

Right all you tecnobuffs, Iv recently had my rocker cover off, distributer off etc, this was for another problem, the problem now is how do i time my vr. Iv had all the leads off the dizzy and what to know which is cylinder 1 so i can set up the leads, and yes im gormless for not marking it all up in the first place. Is there a section i can go to on here that will let me know how to do it / work it out or does someone know of a web site that might let me know. Thanks Homer

Hello, iv removed my rocker cover to discover that the two slots on the end of the cams dont appear to be lined up, but this is only visual, i really want to do a proper check ie number one piston at TDC check if slots are indeed lined up etc, Thanks Homer

water from the front could also be a core plug, on mine it was one right behind the oil cooler, tiny little pin prick in it, I actually thought it was the oil cooler at first and bought a new one. If you think it is the water pump then if its leaking badly you would undoubtedly find a puddle of water under that side of the car as soon as you turn the engine off.

Il cut a long story short. Friday of the floods, car broke down. Smell of burning coming from behind dash and smoke. Leapt out of car and disconnected battery. Towed car to my friend’s garage where I discovered that the relay that feeds the ECU was hot. On removing the plug from the back the wire had melted. Followed this up to the ECU, This wire was some what melted but not enough to melt any of the other wires. Replaced the wire, worked out where it had shorted, obtained a new Relay thanks to this web site cleaned the plug where it had got a bit black and sooty. Switched on the ignition,

Is this relay also the power relay for the ECU, reason im asking i have a wiring diagram and it does indeed have the large blue and red wire coming out of the back of the plug going to the ECU.

Hi there, Driving along today and the car died. I stopped at the top of the hill above our local garage, because there was a flood ( i live in Cumbria ) and i tried to re start the car. The dash lights just flickerd on and off and the car tried to crank. There was a very nasty plastic burning smell. it was either i disconect the battery or role the car into the water. I eventually got it to the garage and set to work trying to work out where the smell and melting was coming from. I traced it to relay 109 which was very very hot and eventually to a plug on the back G1 thick wire red and blue. T

not sure about a bypass mate but believe me when i was told it would take 8 to 10 hours to change they were not wrong. indeed 8 hours and i work in a garage with all tools available

PS forgot to mention, what about the lambda sensor are you sure its working, as soon as i replaced mine it went from 17 mpg to 27 mpg but admittedly the stinking of petrol thing and running ruff was down to MAF. Also the blue water temp sendor in thermostat housing. Mine is actually plugged into a sensor mounted in the grill because if its in hot water the car has about as much power as a wet fart. These early ones are a bloody night mare as i said. I have a scanner and it keeps coming up with a crank position fault ie bad earth on the hall sendor in dizzy, theres nothing wrong with the hall s

how about £20 delivered, im on pay pal and of course if it turns out that it isnt the MAF and you want to return it, then no probs il just refund your cash. I have an early 92 Golf no coil pack and its a bloody night mare every sensor is different nothing works so i know were your coming from its just another one to try.

how many pins on the connector, iv a small collection of the 6 pin early MAF if you need one, there like rocking horse S^&T

Hello there, i see that no one else has replied, having just done a gear box swap i had a similar problem. Changed everything new clutch new gear box etc. bolted it all back up and low and behold it would crunch trying to put it into 1st. I sorted this buy unbolting the the reverse switch from the top of the selector, then unbolting the selector arm lifting it off slowly and moving it round, ( towards my self ) by about to or three splines. Now i know some people will prob point out that the splined shaft should only sit in one position because it has a key on it, but due to the fact that the

Hi, i might have asked this in the past, but does anyone know where i can buy a hall sender for my distributor. Dont want to have to buy a new dizzy. Thanks Homer apol for posting this twice, iv got fat fingers
-
I have scanned my early VR and this code is thrown up even when running, 00515. I dont have a cam shaft sensor because i have a distributor, does this mean that its the hall sensor in the dizzy and not the crank position sensor that is just behind the oil filter. Car has always suffered from lack of power, Thanks Homer

Just a quick one, looking at tyre pressure info sites im led to believe that originally my car early vr6 had 17 inch wheels with 205/50 tyres on. And ran the pressures at 36 psi f 32 rear. My tyres are now 40 profiles and as you will all know the rides is as hard as the hard can be. If you change the profile of the tyre do you need to change the pressures. ( im no scientist ). I of course like the ride hard and like to feel every pebble on the road, My partner and kids on the other hand are sick of throwing up every couple of miles ( joking ) any info appreciated. Thanks Homer

Does anyone out there know where i can get the parts, part numbers for the standard side skirts for my 92 VR. The main part of the skirt is ok ( ie the two pieces that bolt to the body and are glued / taped at the top ) but the long thin insert that presses on to this has broken and rusted through. also the end caps have disappeared never to be seen again. i know they are old but there prooving very difficult to find Thanks Homer
-
spot on gents, as it happens iv now got a second hand gearbox and whilst i replace it i will be replacing the clutch and if that improves it, ie crunching then great if it continues then it could be either mater of slave cylinder, Thanks Homer
-
apart from thinking that somewhere along the line the syncros have gone on my box, lots of crunching, nearly impossible to get it into 1st gear or 2nd for that matter i also have a small query or oddness. if you leave the car in 1st or reverse and then start the car depending what gear your in i the car ether lurches forwards or backwards, ( this is with the clutch down of course ) this of course could be the original crunching prob, v bled the clutch system any ideas homer

Hello, i have 4 fault codes, on my very early vr6, 65535 which im sure is the fact there is a dastec chip bolted onto the top of my exsisting ecu, this currently has the standard map in it, it had to be re programed so they stuck statndard map in until i can rolling road it if ever. The second is 515 which im certain is the hall sender in my dizz, which i would like to know where i can get one, 3rd is 533 and 4th 513 one of these come back as G28 sensor, where is the G28 sensor ( engine speed ) on my 92 - 93 vr. This car a pain in neck and like iv always said pulls like shit of a hot
-
Just a quick one, My ECU is 021 906 258 A will any of the modles after this one work or are they very engine, wiring loom specific. Reason trying to find my model is like looking for a needle on the beach let alone a haystack. Thanks now for any answers recieved Homer

Hello Further to my gearbox problem the other week, iv located a low mileage Galaxy VR6. Its on a V plate ( 99 ) I think. I can have the gear box but will it fit my 92-93 VR6 golf. It’s the only one I can find round here and the Guy even has it stripped ready to go. Will it slot straight on or are there any mods I have to do to it. Any info greatly appreciated Thanks Homer

hello my drivers side electric window stopped working. Motor was turning but no operation of the glass. I stripped off the door cover and on the left hand side a cable lays. Bit rusty but it looks like its snapped. How do i fix this. Can i just replace the cable. Does any one have the exploded view they could send me thanks homer

Further to my post bfore this one i have attached some pictures for you to look at, the nut is actually a 13 mm not a 10

JUST A QUICK TRY, ON MINE VERY EARLY vr6 there are two cables to the gear selection mechanisum, one is fixed i.e you cant adjudt it and one is ajustable. you adjust it by undoing a small 10mm ( think its 10 ) bolt and moving the black plastic clip backwards and forwards, give it a try. Homer
