    Good morning Guys, I know there is a ton of information on here and I have been reading up various turbo threads etc for a while in anticipation for turboing my mk3 vr6. I am currently at the stage of gathering up the parts for the conversion and I was wanting to pick the brains of you guys for the best turbo unit to use. I am looking at going to around 350hp max at this stage as I don't want anything too savage at the moment but then boost can be addictive.

    Hi Mawrick, I have a sensor on order which should hopefully be in today. I did think crank sensor initially as it only occurred when the car had been on a run. I have tested the resistance of the sensor and it is within spec but we shall see what happens with the new sensor once fitted.

    Thank you for the reply mawrick, I have seen your post whilst searching the Internet and it’s on the list of this that could be worth doing to avoid future issues. VR started perfectly fine this morning after being sat all weekend. When I got to work I checked the resistance of the blue temp sensor. Gauge at 90deg and I got a resistance reading of 223 ohms.

    Hi guys I hope some of you kind people can help with my issue. i have a mk3 vr6 which started to have warm/hot start problems where it would turn over for a long period before catching.

    I have the Mauritius blue dash and trims in my MK3 Golf, I cannot find any information about it and theres very limited parts that come up when searching the web. Just wondering if this colour dashboard etc is one of those "RARE" optional extras or if its worth anything at all as I am currently in the process of swapping over to a black dash as the previous owner has changed the A, B & C pillars to black.

    Hi guys and girls, Just a quick hello from a new member from Devon, been on here for a while and not new to the VW brand as I have had a fair few but this is my first VR6. Currently have a 1995 VR6 in Mystic Blue which may not be new to the forum as I think the previous owner was a member. Great site and a lot of good information around. Nick
