  2. alex williams
    Still being broken? And what milage is on the clocks?

    No problem with clearances. Fitted them and was all gravy! Try to make up a plate to time the cams though, the tools are waaaay overpriced. I used a coilover C spanner and it was perfect! Lol. Don't recommend that to anyone though.

    Did mine with engine in. But getting the box out on my drive was a struggle! Also mentioned above was upgraded springs, I have the schrick 268 cams and don't notice any valve bounce. Should I have uprated them?

    My 2 girls. The mk3 is the vr6, running a schrick manifold, 268 cams, bmc cda shielded air filter, 6-2-1 tubular exhaust manifold, scorpion cat back system and H&R 60/40 cup suspension.

    Need urgently. Located in the south west. Whole unit with 60mm top spring cup. Cheers then.

    I went for AVO gtz kit and im very impressed with the results, easy damping adjustment and when they developed a fault, play in the top bush, they couldn't be more helpful!

    Been thinking of the same thing as im putting my car on the track soon (just for laughs) but wasn't sure which option to go for...
  10. alex williams
    Sounds like that'll be how I route it then!

    Yea I thought as much. And ive been looking at different places to hide the tank and you've put it in the best place I've seen so far! So ill likely do something similar.

    F paying a garage to do it, you never learn if you dont do it yourself!!!

    absolutely loving this thread!! Ive got myself a Schrick manifold to go on in due course, how have you routed the HT leads? as the manifold seems to just leave them to flap about like a sausage in a bucket.... some kind words of knowledge or pics would be great

    It now seems the clutch slave cylinder has decided to dump all the nice new dot 4 i put in, i mean it was literally flowing out!! So my question(s) to you, the collective, what is the best or easiest way to fix this? does anyone know of anywhere that does a repaire kit / recon parts?? or is new from TPS the best way forwards? Also a rough ida on price would be nice so i know im not getting ripped off! Cheers

    Well, after the first day on the road the handbrake let go and my poor girl crashed through a roller door. It's actually cheaper to buy a new door than pay my excess and the increased rate next year. Wtf? For god sake leave your cars in gear!!
  16. alex williams
    Yea it would be a nice change in my luck.

    Cheers man, the pedal feels really slack until about 3/4 down so hopfully just the fluid needs bleeding

    Hi all, I've recently bought my first vr6 and been stitched up at every turn. Sorted most of the issues, but this one is troubling me, the clutch bite point is quite quickly making its way toward the floor as if the clutch travel is getting less and less. soon the biting point will be at the floor and I wont be able to shift gear. Could this be the clutch cable, release bearing, or something much worse??? Does anyone have any info or previous experience with this? any help would be greatfully recieved Many thanks in advance Alex

    Yea I had those on my gti. They were great for about a year, but they just gave up in the end! Lol.

    Yea the car is stupidly quick to the red line in all gears! So it could be the final drive. 4th tops out at about 80mph. And im doing 80mph at about 5600rpm in 5th. Which will be great for the track day ive got for June, but shit(er) mpg on the roads. Lol
  21. alex williams
    Not the tv program from ages ago.... but in 5th at 2000rpm im only doing 30 miles an hour. Is this right? Because the gearing seems waaaay too short on my car. Seems it would never reach the top speed with that gearing. Is this correct, or does it have a wrong gearbox? Many thanks
  22. alex williams
    I've got exactly the same views. Been driving my vr6 for only a day and my old 8v gti did a better speed in 5th!
  23. alex williams
    Cheers for the help! I'll have a look for a stalk assembly and see if it cures the problem.

    Got a problem where my wipers aren't working 9 the fast setting. Intermediate and medium pace work fine it's just the fast setting. Is this motor related or the switch? Thanks in advance.
