Hi. Welcome to the sale of my golf vr6 highline in black (black magic) the reason for sale is that we are in the middle of moving house and it came far quicker than we thought so i need to free up some cash and it was either the vr6 or the scooby that had to give way, and with me being a jap kind of guy the scooby had to stay Saying that the golf is a lovely car and i enjoy driving both for their own reasons. Anyway here is a list of what the golf has had done while ive had it. Last week it had 2 brand new wishbones/balljoints and track rod ends with uprated bushes. I had a full service

So, instead of going for a rebuild i thought about getting my gearbox oil changed for the off chance it could be shitty and thin and maybe that could be causing to to get abit noisey when warm..so off i went yesterday to the garage go get it changed and i left them to it. Got a phone call to say its all done and ready for pick up..and the guy who did it said "oh by the way, when we took the drain plug out no oil came out, it was as dry as ghandys flip flop:-/ which was a good thing as i was expecting to pay for another gearbox. He said he flushed the gearbox with a full litre of oil to make su

Are the golf v5 a straight fit? Or is it abit of a mess about, im not even sure what box is in now as it was an auto converted to manual. Whats the 3.6 one?
-
Thanks for that..ye i was quoted £350 to rebuild it by a guy whos done work for me before so hes knocked abit off..still alot dearer that a litre of oil lol. I dond mind splashing out on the better stuff first really..saves me doing it again if it is the oil
-
Cheers mate..i was actually thinking that at first but when the noise got worse when warm i thought it could be the box, it still could be but il try fresh oil first, comma and "additive"?

So all seems ok with the VR. The new coilpack seemed to do the trick, also had a full service and a new sump pan fitted last week..she runs miles better! Think i might be putting the fuel smell in the car coming from the breather as its just a filter, i might just run a silicone hose to the floor instead as i cant deal with the smell. So next on the list is to get a new sunroof seal and sort out the electrics, mirrors and windows dont work! Not sure what it could be because it was intermittant at first so i cant see it being a fuse? And lasly i need my gearbox reconditioning or buy a second

Not been on here for a while! Just due to not having any love for the VR, even though its just had a lot of work done...anyway, the car kept cutting out when hot or wouldnt start when it was hot either, so i changed the temp sensor....noope not that next i changed the crank sensor feeling very positive that it will be that noope again took it into a garage to have it diagnosed and the fault didnt come up, so they called in an auto electician and its come down to the coilpack breaking down when its hot! So thats a good 100quid which i wasnt expecting to spend but hey. Also the breather filt

So as some of you may know i bought a 1997 highline in june and it needed some work! Well it needed 2 new full sills which i purchased from oeandmore. I finally got my arse in gear and sent it off to a bodyshop ive beem using for a while and he agreed to cut out all the rotted sills and replace them, aswel as repairing one of the drain hols with fresh metal that were abit krusty clown! Anyway cut a very long story short, the car ended up having a full repaint taking out and dings and blemishes! It ended up having a full repaint due to lack of communication for the people in the bodyshop, it wa

Is this a known fault on the vr6? Iv got a loud whining noise, alot more noticeable in 3rd gear, then it goes less noisy in 4th and 5th? Is it a new/recon box or is it some sort of bearing that need replacing? Its doing my nut in..thanks ash

Ye hes messaged me and said what price hes after. They are a lovely set of wheels and one of the best if not the best ive seen on a mk3. If i wasnt getting married next month i would have them off him. They would set my black highline off a right treat

I always get like this, its like im pouring money into it before i can start putting my own mods on. I just hope its ready for tatton as im looking forward to a great day and to get to see some of the members..if it doesnt cost too much il be happy lol. Not sure how much 2 lower arms cost? And how are they to fit? Aswel as fitting coilovers and power steering lines? The main thing thats done my head in is that if he would of mentioned it before i bought it i could of sorted it sooner....woosaah...i need to chill haha. Im sure i wont be to bothered once its done and its driving nice [emoji4]

So i went to the garage today to get it on the ramp to see what the knocking from both sides were, i knew it has a snapped coil spring but i knew there was more than that! Got it on the ramp and it need lower arms both sides as they are fcuked!, the exhaust it knocking on the rear arb, looks like a univeral exhaust or something as it doesnt look like a proper fit, the upper strut brace are held in by self tappers (whats the point?) And the power steering pipes are leaking...seems abit unfair from a guy i bought it from off here, so its all getting sorted tomorrow, god knows how much its going
