    yep changed it about 2 weeks ago, will give it a bit longer also dont think it helps that i only do a 15 mile trip to and from work so probably needs a really good run, but that will have to wait untill i have got the new coilovers on this weekend

    Mines noisey most of the time, you only here it when itson tick over or going down a narrow street, with the window down if that makes sense, but this car was stood for a year not been used before i bought it

    just wodered how many others on here had noisey lifters and if it was a common thing, i have 1 at the rear drivers side of the engine that just wont quiet down. And really to see if anyone had any ideas on what to do about it.

    i agree with the above mine is a 95 obd1 with 288 mm brackes, later abs, go of the throttle body as you can be definate then.

    I agree with the above, once had this on my seat leon 1.8t turned out the maf was past its best, replaced it and it was back to normal once more

    Well took the top of the pump after scrolling through some other sites and found that the bushes where very dirty and not making contact well,so after alot of fiddling and cleaning my pump is working again for now, so will have to get another next week, the link i found on these was quite useful. http://forums.fourtitude.com/showthread.php?3038022

    I know this may be a daft question, im under the impression from my limited sense on mechanics that this should operate all the time, am i wrong in thinking this and does it only come on at certain temps

    Noticed today that when i started the car the secondary waterpump did not kick in, upon inspection i cleaned the plug and it worked, Is this a sign of it starting to fail and if so will it do any damage if it fails whislst im driving the car? I know they about 70 quid from the main stealers as an exchange unit, any advice welcome

    Noticed that afew people on here have bought of have been talking about these and just wondered if anyone has got these fitted as im looking to lower my vr and these seem to be a very reasonable way of doing it and they are also at a good price

    But most of the springkits say from91-94 and 94-97, i know mine crosses over but surly if the car was made in 95 then i want the later kit, dont i?

    Just to shed some light on this have been in touch with vdub and they say that the car was made in 1995 around the beggining of june, so the dvla must have made a mistake when they gave it the plate as it was originally from jersey, but the car is an obd1 with coil pack, which i dont understand, indicators are the obd1 rectangular ones, i also check under things like the ashtray as they normally have the year of manufacture stamped in them which verifies what vw have said, so looks like problem solved just dont get how it is an obd1, not 2!

    I have had my 1994 vr6 now for a month am am looking to start moding a bit, im thinking of putting a 2.9 inlet and throttle body on from a corrado, induction kit, stainless exhaust system +decat pipe, and lowering it by 40 mm, can anyone tell me if the thottle body and manifold will make much of a difference and will i have to remap the ecu. Any other ideas welcomed cheers

    Just bought my first 1994 obd1 vr6 and looking to mod its totally standard at the min but not to go mad, i have thought about lowering it, induction kit, fitting a corrado inlet and throttle body, changing the wheels and a stainless exhaust system and decat pipe, just wonered about a few things like is the corrodo inlet a straight swap and any recommendations for the exhasut system also looking to get it remapped,is there any thing else i should consider? cheers

    Need to know where i can get hold of one of these as mine has sprung a leak, at a decent price

    I picked it up tuesday and drove it back london,but have only done 50miles since and i know from past experience onother cars tappets have a mind of there own and can take a while to fill,so will see how it goes,but will change the oil again this weekend
  24. 23345matt
    cheers for that,was going to flush the engine but have heard that its a bad idea on the these i thought it could be something sticking like a valve
  25. 23345matt
    cheers guys am going to change the oil at the weekend for castrol10/40 semi, the engine bay and surroundings where all very dry and it had a few cobwebs to say the least, do you think it could be the chains at this milage?
