Hi its a mod from celoxperformance either goes from ait sensor or from coolant sensor if ait not present, but it says if ait has 4 wires use non powered 2 wires but ait on golf only has 2 wires !!!! -
it affects all cars even pre 2001, before 2001 it goes on engine size and not emmisions as on the newer models of cars, as pre 2001 cars were not built with emmisions in mind so the bloody goverment has to nail us all somehow lol, they will not keep the vr6's off the road however hard they try.

Just found this on a site lets hope its true, Click on link then on whats its worth and then road tax. www.parkers.co.uk Just pick out your cars and it finds the prices, so thats cool by me looks like the vr is mine for a while longer, yippee. The site says the same on our other car that the dvla told me so could be good as a general guideline. Volkswagen Golf Hatchback (92-98) 2.8 VR6 5d AutoRates effective from 13 March 2008 Date of Registration 6 Months 12 Months Band CO2 (g/km) 1 Feb 1993 – 21 May 1998 £101.75 £185.00 - Rates effective from April 2009 Date of Registration

How do I DRAIN/FLUSH/SET UP COOLANT SYSTEM.
vr6ixy replied to biggee30's topic in Engine Maintenance and Problems
I was told by a vdub mechanic the best way to fill a vr6 cooling system up is from top hose and fill header tank up just above full mark coz you loose a bit when fittin top hose back on, he said the vr6 engine is the only mk3 golf engine that will struggle to bleed itself. when toppin up open up the heater vent so it goes through matrix, only sayin what ive been told !! -
Thanks guys i will get me mate down as well he is a good mechnanic and keeps his cool longer than me , he will be fine i will just pretend i am helpin lol
