    it was about £25, runs brilliantly now

    Ok. turned out to be the rpm sensor, also known as the crank shaft position sensor, not to be confused witht the cam shaft sensor! This little bugger cuts off supply to the fuel pump, injectors and the coil pack rendering your car useless. But what a difference it has made - not only does my VR start now but it is really keen to accelerate, nice

    My VR has been in the garage for two days now The mechanic had 'someone' come round and read the faults, he cleared them and started again and now he is saying that the rpm sensor is at fault. There is no spark. Could this be the cam shaft sensor or am i clutching at straws???

    mine wont start at all now. I replaced the fuel pump relay but no joy. Car got towed this morning, hopefully gonna find out what the problem is tonight
  5. dwa1974
    both the fuel pump relay and the ecu relay click when the power is turned on, could they still be faulty. I suppose I should just change em both and have done wi it!

    is that the funny buzzing sound you get when you turn the acc on?

    The vr6 has timing chains not a belt. they are supposed to be a none service item but on a high miler it would be worth having this done along with the clutch. Expect to pay anything from £500 to £1500 depending where you are and where you go to have it done. Get it checked first though

    nice! the deep ones are loads better

    starts fine when it's cold but cuts out when it's warm. Plugging in tomorrow. Let you know if anyones interested
  11. dwa1974
    V Easy! Works well and looks MEATY too!
  12. dwa1974
    i agree, mines done nearly 140k and the drivers seat is pretty much mint compared to that
  13. dwa1974
    yeah, cheers. Ineed to plug it in i reckon but i'd agree at one of those!

    Funny one this, I'll try and be as brief as i can! From the beginning.... About a week ago being a medling git I disconnected my battery and removed my TB to clean it. did the job, put it back on reconnected the battery and bingo, off we go again. I then realised that my TB needed to reset itself as it was tickiing over a bit high (about 1200rpm). I ordered a VAGCOM lead from egay and waited. obviously i had to use the car whilst i was waiting for royal mail to deliver my goods and it has been driving fine until yesterday when my car cut out twice whilst in motion and then carried on as if

    Am i correct in saying that if it was the chains and guides that the noise would get louder with the engine? Sounds like the hydraulic tappets to me, esp if it's be stood for ages. service it and take it for a run

    Oliver, Got brake conversion from VR6rich on here. If your car is a later VR (ie 96 onwards) you just need the carriers and discs from say, a 1999 Audi TT and some different bolts. Have a look at this http://www.the-corrado.net/wiki/index.php/312mm_brakes It tells you everything you need to know. Or give me a shout and i'll try and help! There is a place in Carlisle that does the bolts you'll need by the way!!

    My abs light comes on now and again but always goes out again. I also had some vibration through my brakes when i first bought my car, normally braking from motorway speeds. This cleared up after a week or so. Weird and probably no help to you whatsoever. However I can fully recommend upgrading to 312mm brakes!

    What a great looking car! The only thing it needs is for you to give it to me
  21. dwa1974
    whens the next one? missed this
  22. dwa1974
    My fuel gauge goes down as quick as my rev needle goes up!
  23. dwa1974
    If your happy guessing at it i'd agree with vr6dreamer and puta new MAF sensor on, it can make a massive difference, but I would have thought VAG-COM would have thrown that up
  24. dwa1974
    You need to get the fault codes read as it is probably one of the four speed sensors, the front two are cheap and the back ones are dear!

    Awesome! What a convenient and portable engine crane - every home should have one! Looking forward to seeing the new improved Jerry....
