I must say I as disapointed at people lack of whilling to help on here, its as if people dont want to help or simply dont know!!!!

Bump... anyone know?

I figure this is the best place to ask because someone on here has bound to have done it, I did hear a while back that if you put a 2.9 Vr6 throttle body on a 2.8 it wil give you a little bit more power due to it being slightly bigger inside. Is this true? If it is would a 2.9 body fit straight onto a 2.8 OBD1 inlet manifold? Ive got everything else done to mine without going for a forced induction route which is simply far to much money for me and I am looking for where I can get that last bit of power from.

I hope its normal mate.... Yea all the breather pipes are stil as normal as they should be on the car, all its had done is schrick cams and a ported head etc... Would any of the mods make it do it?

Hi people, ive got a bit of a pickle and I need some expert advice. Ive got a OBD1 VR6 that has had some engine work done, cams etc I had the bottom end rebuilt about 700 miles ago. Tonight I took the inlet manifold off to have it polished and I noticed that inside the inlet manifold was traces of engine oil and some sat inside the inlet pipe for the filter etc. I dont want to go straight back to the guy that rebuilt the engine becuase all off last year the car only did about 50 miles so I was wondering if a small ish trace of oil inside there was normal or if its some other problem that is go

Ive got alot of mixed response to this, I priced the pump up today from VW and its £70... I wil try GSF tomorow, Ive just spent 2250 having it rebuilt with a schrick cam etc so it does run a bit warm... The only reason its not there is because when I took the pipe off it broke the plastic suround.... So the electrocs are ok for it, I reckon im going to buy a new one and put it back on...

Yer true, but they stil get driven..

I know alot of these "show" cars run fine with out them...

I know alot of people dont run with the pump... and yer it seems to drive fine... no smoke etc... At what temp does your fans come on? 110 ish?

I wil tel the story then you can work it out... I was stuck in traffic yesterday with the VR6 waiting to get to maky d's, she was getin fairly hot but the fans where cutting in and out so that wasnt a problem... I went round the drive threw (que 30 min old big mack, yuck) and parked up to eat my burger... When I turned it off it was red hot.. I ate my burger and went to restart the car to drive off but it wouldnt turn over, just making a sort of "de" noise like the started is trying, but not doing anything. I put the lights on and tried again and it killed the lights, like there was a really b

Yea it gets slower or faster depending on how fast you go. As soon as you go upto second gear the noise goes away. Any ideas? Sync?

any ideas?

Hi people in the know, In my mk2 vr when you drive along in 1st gear its fine aslong as you stay at the same pace but if you take your foot of the pedal or accelerate you get this clicking noise it only does it in 1st gear, any ideas? I am begining to think it has spat a tooth off. Chris
