1996 3dr Golf VR6 syncro Here we have my Golf VR6 syncro, I have owned this car for very nearly 5 years and it has been superb right from day one. Unfortunately these days I don’t have the time available to enjoy it to its potential, although it has been MOT’d every year and kept garaged the whole time. This is indeed a factory produced 3 door Golf VR6 syncro. It has 115,321 miles on the clock, comes with plenty of factory extras including Climatronic and heated seats, just under 12 months MOT and a solid engine and drivetrain. It is LHD as it left the facto

New batch of these are in! Now featuring 24v versions. Exactly the same quality as before, please take a look: 12v: http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/VR6-12v-Billet-CNC-stainless-steel-crack-pipe-for-Golf-Corrado-passat-/152624874869?hash=item238926c575%3Ag%3AJIoAAOSwY3BZGXxm&_trkparms=pageci%3A9f82e8b3-7231-11e7-85bf-74dbd18075c3%7Cparentrq%3A8031756415d0a861cf772376fffbaf94%7Ciid%3A1 24v: http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/VR6-24v-Billet-CNC-stainless-steel-crack-pipe-for-Golf-4-motion-A3-R32-/152624874630?hash=item238926c486%3Ag%3AOzIAAOSw9OFZGYAg&_trkparms=pageci%3A292

Hi, I am planning on making a Rotrex bracket for my VR, has anyone got a drawing/dimensions for one? Failing that a whole bracket would be easier ;-)
-
Still after these if anyone out there has some?

LHD and RHD headlamp differences

Yeh guessed it would just be the glass. Thanks Pete -

Doh! Just realised this is in for sale! Meant to be in technical -
Basically I'm looking to convert a LHD MK3 golf VR6 to RHD. With regards to the headlights, is it just the glass that differs between LHD and RHD or is it the reflector or something?

Hi all. I am looking for a set of good condition clocks for a Golf VR6 OBD2, part number I believe is something like: 1H0 919 930 G. I'd consider most mileages but ideally around 120,000. Thanks
-
Thanks for the feedback once again! Down to the last couple now, looks like I'll have make some more!
-
Thanks bealieboy. I'd like to see if I can get one in the same colour first

Hi, I am after the above. A front passenger wing in storm grey (LY7K) with the rounded indicator hole and preferably without the aerial hole but I'm being picky as it is! All conditions considered. Thanks
-
Thanks for the feedback ky. I hope it's just the photo but the metal one looks about 15mm shorter than the original!?
-
So I see! Treat your VR6 for xmas! I shall post it out today. Thanks Jon

Good question about the heat transfer. The main middle section has a wall thickness of 1.5mm and so would not store the heat for too long once left to cool. But I don't really know, if anyone has an idea of how I could test one compared to plastic one let me know and I'll try it. Ssaunders is right about the plastic ones though, it's what got me to make the very first one. Once they're 'settled' in one position they don't like being disturbed. ky_uk, I definitely agree with you about 'some' eBay parts, especially cheap items from a large stock. I'm a one man band making these in my spare time
-
They're great - although I would say that! I sold 20 (mix of 12v and 24v) earlier this year, around 10 12v the year before. Always had good feedback

Fresh batch up for grabs

Thanks, I've edited the link now, hopefully it'll work better now - was the longest URL in the world! Cheers guys

Maybe the mechanism is improved on the mk3? I may give it a go one day if I get bored

I was reading a thread on the Corrado forum about swapping the adjustable column for the fixed type and the benefits that go with it. Has one done similar to their VR6 (or other or that matter)? I asume it would be pretty easy to source parts due to the abundance of low level mk3's with fixed columns that find there way into scrap yards. Here's the link to the-corrado forum: http://www.the-corrado.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=73848

The Halfords calcium batteries are very good. Think they're around the £100 mark, but if you have a trade card you are looking around £60 -
Yeh I did, had it primed each time too. I reckon it was just because I had to have quite alot taken off the face of the head when it was skimmed and that would make it sit lower enough so that it was a whole half tooth out with not much you can really do about it.
