trackday

try cutting the end of the pipe off then reattach as after a while they either go really hard or soft where they attach to the motor,other than that i use cable tie one around the end of the pipe and another onto the body of the motor and around the pipe so its nice and secure

check silly things as well eg are all the exhaust rubbers ok

think if i had the money to put a blower on mine there would be lots of white creamy stuff everywhere lol

Sorry to hijack your thread but the switch on top of the filter housing all on it own' date=' is that the oil temp sensor for the mfd ?? I snapped mine off nad dont know weather its oil pressure or oil temp.. the one with the green wire going to it... And bk to topic, if yours leaked out of the hole to the left of the filter housing, what you said was the copper ring, thats where the dip stick goes, i think theres a o ring there.. yours prob only leasked because you had the rear jacked up so high the oil level rose ablove the hole for the dip stick... [/quote'] oil temp sender mate just repla

new sensors are about max 20 quid you can get them from vw or get a copy one from your local car parts place,replace it so you can make sure its not a oil pump problem as that could cost you £££££££££££

there was probley a coating on the heater matrix as new, give it a day or two on red hot and see if it still does it,dont forget to crack your windows open

check to see if the garage is registered with the RMI or Good Garage Scheme as you can complain to them other than that tell him to do one he has damaged it he should repair it as long as he didnt warn you it could happen which i expect he wouldnt of. if he still wont budge pay by cheque get your keys then cancel the cheque when you get home lol, seeing this does my head in as being a mechanic myself it gives us a really bad name,if i had done it and was my fault i would of repaired it free of charge!!! find yourself a different garage look out for one' in the good garage scheme and in the RMI

i use large water pump pliers when i cant get them off they work fine,http://www.justoffbase.co.uk/Water-Pump-Pliers-500mm-Ni-Fe-Finish-Sealey-AK9371

yeah the drive is out of the corrado i was goin to go for a 3.94 but glad i didnt now well worth it and on the hankooks not bad in dry, shi# in the wet was all over the place gonna go for federals next as my mates ran allot faster in the wet and they are great in the dry as well.

Some of you may remember i wasnt happy with how the vr struggled out of corners on the track,so i had the box out and changed the final drive from the standard 3.30 too a 4.26 and what a differance,she is allot more responsive out of the corners and i can keep up with my mate in his 306 gti6 which i couldnt before,max speed is about 125 but it gets there allot quicker and the gears are allot more user freindly so im well pleased with it and would reccomend it!!!

gonna put a 3.94 diff in out of a 1.8t and see what that does

there loads of vids on you tube with the different sounds of a knackered chain

she handled really well in the bends she has gaz gold suspension which we lowered when i got it and i changed the rebound half way through gave her more rebound on the front and less on the rear as going into beckets she was lifting the rear but after sorting the rebound was allot better.ok she had a bit of understeer but you have got to expect that with the big vr6 lump at the front oh camber is around 3.8 on the front,main prob was accelaration out the corners took allot of winding up cheers

cheers for the replies guys the g60 conversion sounds best is it a straight swap can i use my driveshafts and engine mounts??? she will be going on another diet iand i think i may join her lol dash heater and windows to go i cant let my mate beat me at rockingham lol any advice on g60 gearbox conversion will be appriciated cheers

First trackday in the VR6 yesterday at silverstone (amazing) but Houston we have a problem!!! Apperantly my car is pushing 200 bhp (i have a printout) its lightened,app has been cammed and forged pistons which i dont believe after having my mate in his stock app from suspension and exhaust and lightened pug 306 gti 6 accelarate like fook away from me!!! mine is good in the corners but the straights it was see ya and when he was following me i was faster in the corners but as soon as on straights he was right up my ass. my rev limiter has been moved to 8k instead of 7k and still he was there, a
