VR6 Supercharged reacted to a post in a topic: POST A SINGLE PIC OF YOUR CAR

I did some lights on my girlfriends punto, the were severley scratched and very badly hazed. Almost looked grey they were that bad. What i did was used some fine sandpaper, 1500 grit or finer, totally flatted them back until they were very smooth, then using an orbital buffer and some meguirs plastic polish, buffed them up to a glass like shine, simple and extremely effective.

VR6 Serpentine Belt Tensioner Replacment
iceviolet replied to petervr6's topic in Engine Maintenance and Problems
I would say the first one would be ok, its the correct dimensions and it is rubber sealed both sides,thats what the (2RS) bit means. -
i got some leads from dubpower.co.uk the other week. Very pleased with them, good quality and at £35 you cant go wrong. Heard good things about them thats why i thought id give them a try. Seem to have cured my slight hesitation under load anyway!!

Corrado VR6 Speedlines onto late Golf VR6?
iceviolet replied to donpulsar's topic in Wheels, Brakes, Suspension and Steering
Yes they will fit over the 288mm brakes, quite snug and you have make sure the balancing weights dont catch on the caliper if using stick ons -
Engine noise :( UPDATED!
iceviolet replied to Jimmy-VR6-Highline's topic in Engine Maintenance and Problems
Whats the mileage on the engine?? Could be the dreaded piston slap/bore wear which i had on mine. -
Immense build!

connect a multimeter in series on the battery and read the current thats being drawn when everything is off. This will tell you if it is actually drawing too much current. If it is, you need to pull each fuse in turn and replace to see if there is a dramatic difference to the current being drawn when each fuse is pulled,this will then tell you which circuit you have the problem on

Another DIAGNOSTIC PORT query lol
iceviolet replied to kazama76's topic in Engine Maintenance and Problems
Yep, some of the early cars up to late 93 dont have the 16pin obd connector, they have the 2x2 type. -

Im a Corrado VR6 owner, West Yorkshire area!

I had nearly exact symptoms a couple years ago. It was the coilpack. Not firing on all cylinders. Best thing to do is try a known working one if you can get hold of one before you buy a new one as most places wont take electrical items back for refunds. I think i bought a new genuine bosch one for about £120.

My vag com faults - help please
iceviolet replied to VR6-DUB's topic in Engine Maintenance and Problems
Have you been on a rolling road recently?? The last two faults come up after that,just clear them and see what comes back. Front abs sensors are cheap and very easy to fit. Unsure on the abs pump fault though, it may be related to the other faults? -
could be a number of problems. ecu relay could be a possibility. What i would do is get it pluggen in to vag-com or some diagnostic software and scan the engine for faults. This will tell you if you have a knackered sensor. If nothing comes up,then i would be looking at relays etc,electrical fault
