    Ok, last night the car started misfiring again so whilst it was doing it i unplugged the Lamda and the car picked itself up and ran smooth. Did this aa few times just to double check it was this causing the fault. So i drove the car a few miles with lamda unplugged and the car ran sweet as a nut, infact it ran perfectly!! Surely it should run like a sack of shite with this unplugged???

    My previous Mk2 VR6 developed a hunting problem and would randomly start misfiring (running on approx 2 cylinders). Then If you give it a bootlful and play with the throttle it used to clear itself. Anyway i ended fitting this engine into another Mk2 before fixing the problem. The new Mk2 VR6 ran fine up until recently it has started to develop the exact misfire again. The misfire only happens about 1 minute after the car is started from warm... it Never does it from cold. The engine will start to hunt, revs drop and the car misfires trying to stall, it always picks itself back up though and

    Just about to bid on this Ignition coil for my Mk2 VR. My engine is an early Passat with a dizzy. Even though this advert doesnt list my engine is it the correct one?? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VOLKSWAGEN-GOLF-CORRADO-JETTA-VENTO-VR6-IGNITION-COIL_W0QQitemZ250342598617QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item250342598617&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1683%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50

    Is the same for OBD1 and 2's? I have had 2 VR's (both OBD1) and cant say ive noticed the water pump noise after engine is off though?! haha ooops!
  14. SimonABT
    Mines seazed up and leaking. Engine is an OBD1 (early). Can i bypass the pump? ive heard its there to circulate water when engine is off? is that OBD1 and 2?? If not, any1 know the cheapest place to buy one? new or second hand?
  15. SimonABT
    Spot on cheers guys. I'll order the pump from VW on Monday!
  16. SimonABT
    You mean the VR6 engine is registered to the Mk2 reg??!! My Mk2 is still registered as a 1.3 CL at the moment as ive not yet finished the VR6 conversion.

    Hi guys, im trying to get a new Oil pump from VW but they cant order me one unless i give them a reg number or a chassis number?! This normally wouldnt be a problem but the engine is in a Mk2 and the engine number is not visible bue to engine painted heavily. The engine is a 2.8 OBD1 from what i can remember and has a Dizzy not coilpacks. What ages were VR6's with Dizzys instead of coilpacks? Only other way is to remove oil pump from engine and take it to VW or read part number to them but this is not possible at the moment. Any help much appreciated

    Mine has broken but i have a Volvo one kicking about in my garage which swithes on when the engine is turned off. Would this be ok? How does the E/water pump on a VR work?? Does it run continuously?
  19. SimonABT
    Thats the one. I took the headlight out, cuz my mates were taking the piss saying Chavs take theirs out so i did it for a laugh but found my times dropped quite a bit! haha

    After crashing my Mk2 VR6 i bought a really really cheap 1994 VR6 Mk3. Had a slight whiring noise from the engine once it got hot. The car was only a temp run around and i was just gonna drive it till it goes bang, until i finish my latest Mk2 VR project. But i have thought about it more and think i may just find out what the noise is and fix it! Any suggestions? The noise is not tappy, it just sounds like something is wearing out at the back of the engine. The car has done 112k miles and no idea what has been replaced on it, i have changed oil, leads, plugs, etc.

    I have bought an Oil breather for my 94 VR, but its not a simple as i thought as there are loads of pipe work, and a plug. Has anybody got any pics of how they have done it? Reason im fitting the after market breather is because the cone device on mine has snapped away.

    Ok, i cant be arsed to go through all the previous 8 pages so gimme details?? How much if i want to take my VR? OR, if any1 has a spare passanger seat how much will it cost me? Fuel? Accomidation? tickets? ferry? etc etc? Also wat date?
  25. SimonABT
