    eBay. You need a vw 02a cable change shifter bush kit. Item no 231012964731 Oddly enough if you go on VW vortex there is a forum post which tells you exactly how to do it.

    Hi Shaun. I have an early VR6 which had a very sloppy gearshift. You don't have to drop the exhaust. I just did mine from inside the car. I bought a kit, changed the bushes and applied fresh grease. I have also shortened the gear shift by 1 inch and a quarter. The car feels new again with very slick gear changes.

    I'm restoring a 1992 mk3 VR6 Golf AAA OBD1 and replaced the original ignition coil due to a flat spot at 2000 - 2200 RPM. I have suddenly noticed a really annoying "ticking" sound coming from behind the bulkhead. Using a stethoscope (!) I have realised the ticking is actually coming from the (new) replacement ignition coil. Can anyone tell me if this is a fault with : 1. the coil 2. the ignition lead 3. the earth ground connection I have a braid strap from the body to the engine block. Should I also use a braid strap from the 1 (not 15) terminal to the body? I've checked t

    Good morning Pete. Thanks for your very considered reply to my query. At this stage I would prefer to keep my vehicle normally aspirated. To go "too mad" would also require uprated braking and suspension systems with all the associated costs of these items. I was thinking of a BMC CDA (details please!) and a new exhaust (recommendations?) with a view to new cams (as the tappets could do with replacement anyway). In other words, stuff I might be able to do in my garage over the winter!! When all this is done, I was thinking of putting in a new chip but (knowing my luck) I'm sure it

    Please can anyone give me some pointers about the most cost effective ways to increase power and performance. I've restored my J plate obd1 mk3 with VR6 to original spec but I'm now looking to get a bit more out of the engine. Thanks in advance
