My 1995 vr6 supercharged at the moment will do about 600 km on a tank motorway use when I drive between Holland and the uk via calais its lovely. I cannot complain with its motorway economy but town use it is horrible . I can maybe see 150 - 200 km on a full tank but then again there are allot of stop starts involved . When I first got the car it was running rubbish and would get if im lucky 400 km on a full tank . after a revised cylinder head , the supercharger new fuel pump and filter and a very nicely tuned ecu from the vr6specialist i gained around 200 km on a tank motorway use . Cant com

No Problem . I had the front of my car off this weekend as i needed to change the thermostat housing and for the life of me couldnt find any yellow plug on mine, and had no other black plugs apart from the 2 on the horn and 2 for the indicator and foglight . I did however not long ago remove the carbon canister and that did have a valve that did have a black plug if I remember correctly connected inbetween the canister to the inlet manifold . Other than that i cannot think what the black plug you have left is from . Good luck bud and loving a polo sedan vr6 :-)

Left over plugs on Polo VR6 conversion....
v6horse replied to Drizz's topic in I.C.E, Security an Electrical
Hello mate . the top one could either be the double horn or the foglight . thats the only connectors near there on mine with this type . the horn should have 2 of these connected as its a double horn system atleast on mine . cant tell you what the otherone is as i dont have any that color on my headlight loom . Hope this helps a little -
Hi Guys , My fan control has decided to start smoking on me and as soon as the battery is connected the fans turn on and nice smoke comes from the mod , i know a guy who has 1 but wanted to know if the part numbers must match exactualy . Need to know as soon as possible . Cheers

Spercharger with Intercooler , Recirc or vent to atmos valve ?
v6horse replied to v6horse's topic in Engine Tuning
cheers for the info . Was just wondering but lately my plans have changed and the vr will be off the road for a while. so going to build a turbo motor for it and will most likely have my v2 charger setup up for sale in the next few months . -
Hi guys , Going to be upgrading my supercharger pulley soon with a 11 psi , currently running 6 psi . Anyways I know that currently without running a intercooler I have a recirc valve fitted , but once the intercooler is in place would i Still be running the recirc or would it be a vent to atmos . Cheers guys

Early AAA VR6 Engine Timing
v6horse replied to jim_cliff11's topic in Engine Maintenance and Problems
My crank pulley also didnt have the timing notch . i just set visualy cylinder 1 to tdc and then double check using the intermidiate sprocket to be sure . I have to say it is a pain in the arse tbh . -
Im running a v2 charger , had to drill a hole in the chassis leg . simple to do and you can get it nice and clean if you line it up nice the first time . Dont forget to leave room for some movement for when you tension the belt . I made that mistake and had to make the hole wider for it to clear when tensioning the belt .

brake compensator ? pic added
v6horse replied to rsweeney's topic in Wheels, Brakes, Suspension and Steering
When i changed to braided brake lines i just bleed all the brakes and the clutch to be sure as it runs off the brake fluid . everything still working to date and this was a good few months ago -
Like the clocks . As for the safeguards I was talking about the knock sensor etc . Does the standalone support them ? I was informed that most standalones do not .
-
I found my stock ecu does well with just a good chip and remap . wont you lose most of the safeguards that you stock ecu has with a standalone one ? Im running custom chip with my supercharger and works perfect . when i was considering changing the ecu i was advised by the vr6specialists to keep the stock ecu as it can cope with anything providing you put the custom chip and find a good mapper .
