Badged grill De-badged Hope this helps, not face on pics but you can get a rough idea.

I am going to get mine booked in on the rollers! My mates S3 was RR'd at 206bhp and in a straight line we were neck and neck, twisties he was all over me but straight line performance in a VR6 is impressive, well in mine it is thus me wanting me to get mine RR'd! Saying twisties, my 205 GTI 1.9 is just amazing on corners, it will just not budge. My VR has become a lot better since fitting Toyo T1R-S tyres.

I was shocked when a good friend of mine with an 04 plate Audi S3 went against me.......There was nothing in it, identical performance!
-
I must add regarding MK3 Golf's now..... VR to a MK3 GTI or GTI 16v is a different car, well as in performance. My wife has an 8v GTI Golf and it is seriously poor regarding performance. A 16v is not that much better.....VR6 is so much better, only thing is.....They love fuel! I have been told a UK Scoob is the same as in MPG as a VR6?!?!

That is impressive Russ.....Top vids. I must get mine on the rollers. I have seen 151mph on the GPS, 160mph speedo reading (Autobahn testings!) But it is how quick it gets there. Reading on here with some of the members with chargers or a Turbo on their VR, well that must be an experience!

Now that is interesting mate, I would have thought a VR should have been able to take the Type R? I am sure something has been done to my VR as on full throttle in the wet she started spinning the tyres at 80mph and this is with Toyo's on. A full s/s exhaust, de-cat and direct feed modified airbox cant produce that many horses.....or can it?!?!
-
Reading many reviews etc on the net since I have had my OBDII VR6 and some have put down stuff like 'Running costs are stupidly high for the performance' and other reviews alike. I have owned many performance cars over the past 20 years and I think the performance and running costs are good. My performance is very very good on my VR.....She will pull happily to 150mph (Tried it once on a long private road!) Saying this I have never been in another VR and I am sure mine is very fast. She has a sull s/s exhaust, de-cat, modified airbox (direct feed) and run only on Shell V-Power. I average 22m

There is a big pot hole on the road behind where I live. You can always say you were coming to visit me and I will confirm this if need be. As you are in Watford it is believable as Milton Keynes is only 35-40 miles away. There is a TPS in MK. Milton Keynes TPS Tel. 01908 625000 Tavistock St, Bletchley, Milton Keynes, MK2 2PG

My VR is my daily so she will be used throughout winter. It came with coilovers that I have played around with as in lowering her but I was thinking when the weather gets bad I will raise the car as much as I can with these coilovers....Dont know how high it will go though!
-
Due to the fact I do not have a PCV as the previous owner must have removed it I tried to clear up all the messy pipe around the crankcase breather etc. One trouble.....I have been left with this little pipe that fits just behind the throttle body and then runs down to the inner passenger wing. But on the way is this T piece. It makes a hiss when the car is running as has a lot of suction.....What does it do, does it need to be left open or shall I block it off by putting a small screw in there......Is my car ok to drive like this as dont want to do any damage. Here is the T piece part....You

Must be a sad day mate. In your almost 8 years of being on the club will you be coming back on to help the likes of me who know, well, nothing (Puts head down in shame!) Paul.

Thats the one......Thank you!! Well mine looks like a bit of a bodge, but it was like this when I bought my car.

Where is this non return valve for the cam breather?
-
Been reading on the net about VR6's and found this..... obd2 owners should check the non return valve for the cam breather But where is it?
-
They were brighter Baz, other than that....The same, just look that bit different.
-
I did have these on my VR Baz. They are the MK4 style

Thanks for the fast replies guys!! It is the spark plug end now leaving the metal cover over the plug......I suppose if I cant find a lead remover tomorrow I could use a long pair of fine nose pliers to pull the metal bit out thus allowing me to remove the plug. Also going to need a new HT lead. I am sure Halfords sell HT leads seperatley, think they are called 'Hot Wires?' There is a TPS near me but dont know where the nearest GSF is? I do know there is a Euro Car Parts down the road.....Wonder if they would sell one? Also do I just ask for an HT remover tool for a VR6?
-
Not good people! I need my VR for the weekend. Earlier I went to change the plugs.....All good except for when I pulled one of the leads it snapped leaving the bottom bit inside. Having a read I have there is a special tool I can use to remove the leads.....But where can I buy one from as in tomorrow morning? I live in Milton Keynes. Any help would be fantastic as I can then pick my daughter up in the afternoon.

It seems there are 2 codes for the NGK plugs coming up. One for the OBDI engine and the other for the OBDII......I would have thought they would be the same code? NGK BKR5E....This seems to be the OBDI engine BKR5EKU...This seems to be for the OBDII engine as the guy mentioned a Vento VR6, I think they were OBDII engines?
-
I dont have any lamda (02) sensors on my exhaust? MPG wise.....Not that bad. I am getting around 220 miles to a full tank, most of this is around town and driven with care.....The odd blast of course!
-
Just wondering here guys what is the best spark plug from Halfords I can buy for my VR? The reason I say Halfords is I get a big discount there. I took 1 of my plugs out earlier and it is a Bosch Super 9. I went into Halfords earlier and they said this certain plug was not coming up on the system for my car......Even though my car has them fitted?! So just checked on Google and it seems Bosch are getting bad reviews for running in a VR6 and to use NGK's. The guy at Halfords said Champions were coming up as a suggested choice for my car. Which ones should I go for?? Thanks in advance.

Can having a de-cat reduce MPG?

Just searching through Google about the VR6 and came across this. The airbox mod seems a bit drastic but he has taken the honeycomb bit out of the MAF.....Surely that is there for a reason? http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?2837772-DIY-COMPLETE-very-detailed-airbox-intake-modification-write-up.
