Hi, I have a 3door and am looking to change to black A,B,C pillar trim. And was wondering if there are any mk3's other than the 5 door highline that came with black trim. and also did any mk3's come with a black head cloth. Thanks Gareth

Thats the code that came up on my vag com. can't remember exactly but about £30-£40 will get you a new sensor if i'm not mistaken. GAreth -

vr6g replied to Smuggler's topic in Engine Maintenance and Problems
i would recommended changing the cam position sensor (hall sensor). mine had the same symptoms and fault code, changed the cam sensor......problem solved!!! hope this helps! Gareth -
no, it's all held in the memory of the clocks. well i'm a mechanic myself, have a friend in a VW garage and they wont do it. i have the function on my vag com software but anytime i try to change it, it wont let me. so was just wondering if anyone knew of anything?

Reducing brake pedal travel
vr6g replied to ThermalP4's topic in Wheels, Brakes, Suspension and Steering
alright men, the first thing i'd recommend is a set of braided lines, they made a hell of a difference to my brakes. -
I had the same problem mate, cleaned my Airflow meter and replaced the cam position (hall) sesor, ran sweet after that!!!

Alright Guys, Was wondering is there any handy way of adjusting the mileage on a set of vr clocks early '96, obd 1, as when i did my engine transplant the clocks from the donor car were mangled and the new clocks i got had about 60000 more miles on them and i want to adjust them to the original engine mileage. Many Thanks Gareth

Well mine is a show car, stock vr at the mo but planning to charge or turbo it over the winter so i want the 4 pots at the front and the 2 pots at the rear for added braking performance and the looks aswell.......

hi guys, i've converted my 1.4 to vr6, engine etc etc and thats fine, i'm uprating the brakes now to brembos all round, 4 pots on the front and 2 pots on the rear. i want to keep pedal travel down, so was wondering what size master cylinder would be recommended to use. many thanks Gareth

this is what ihave done, yet it won't pick up the cable or the car. If it helps, my car has the obd2 port beside the ashtray yet has all obd1 stuff, e.g throttle body etc, it's a '95 car so do i need to use obd2 software(which i have) or obd1 software, (which i don't have!) Thanks

right lads/ladys i have a 1.4 mk3 shell, got myself a doner car and transplanted engine, gearbox and engine wiring loom into the 1.4. everything went well. also changed the code in the key to suit the vr6 ecu. I turned the key, she turned over once and now refuses to turn over it is doing everything but turn over :S Does anyone have any ideas or experience? Thanks

hi there i recently bought vag com software, obd 2 connector the belkin adaptor lead and drivers for it, every time i hook the vag com up it doesn't recognise that the car is actually hooked up to it. but when connected to my mates cupra r it works fine???? it's a 1995 obd 2 vr. Any suggestions would be great! :S *-) Thanks Gareth

i had the same problem, only way to do is to just leaver the glass out, it's only glued in.

oh i know she'll be going for a full remap and rolling road set up! :-)
