  1. Will be keeping my eye out for a mk5 battery box now [emoji16][emoji106]
  2. Battery box is a great idea. Looks oem [emoji106] Another good idea with the stealth induction kit that also will block out hot air
  3. You have been very busy [emoji122] Some amount of work done. Car is looking great and will be driving great too Anything else on the to do list?
  4. Not much been happening to the vr6, mot time next month so stuff will need to be done. Been working on the Nova, and the mk2 will be this weeks jobs. Only job done was to replace the expansion tank cap as it was goosed. Searched for the part number on ebay and got one listed for a transporter for £3 delivered lol no Vr6 tax Washed the vr today and used it for going to a christening reception
  5. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F161480005277 If that is the part you have bought there is no more parts to it. Looks same as the one i had to refit on my mk4 1.8t after the pedal broke. Quite tricky to get lined up, the white end goes onto the pedal and the grey part rests in a recess on the pedal box. Upside down with head looking up from the pedals is the only way in. I cable tied mine to create some space, but in the end it was a combination of fingers and a screwdriver pushing down on it that got it seated. Probably some luck too, was
  6. Hi, Pretty sure the clutch on my vr6 (97 108k) is nearing the end of its life; pedal fairly heavy and biting point high but not slipping yet. I have always heard of the g60 flywheel and vr6 clutch upgrade for the mk4 1.8t set up, but my question is it something i should be doing to my car or not? Does this only benefit the 1.8t when power is increased or is there a benefit to it being done to a stock vr6? Thanks
  7. Nice, great it is still alive. I was a bit late to the build thread [emoji1]
  8. Thanks, its drivers side i need [emoji106] Got a new splitter awaiting collection from post office too! Cheers
  9. Was out a drive Sunday night and as reaching national speed limit, what i thought was lower cover i removed to change belt blowing away, turned out to be this.. If anyone has this part, bottom front lip of front offside arch liner please let know. Also need offside front spoiler half [emoji106]
  10. Looking for a pair of rust free, Mystic blue wings. Let me know what you have available. Thanks
  11. Did you get this finished? Hope you did [emoji106]
  12. Long time since last post, but any updated pics of it? [emoji106]
  13. When the car arrived it had no grommet fitted below the aerial. Wee bit of silicone sealant evident. I purchased a "2 for less than 3 quid inc delivery" aerial grommet/seals supposedly suitable for mk3 golf. When fitted it became quite obvious the claims were nonsense. This introduced a drip into the car which a towel below the headliner was recruited to the stop the flood. VW couldn't find a part number when i called, but i found one online and ordered the kit from them; £11 Fitted today Part number for base seal, o-ring and nut is 3B0051751
  14. Good choice on the exhaust [emoji106] K&N are one of the originals, RamAir and Pipercross are good also. Anyone else any first-hand experience with induction kits on their VR?
  15. That is a lovely looking thing. Do you have a thread in members rides?
  16. Carry out a good service first, oil, filter, spark plugs, fuel filter, haldex oil and filter and have it scanned for fault codes. Then once that is completed upgrade the exhaust, fit an induction kit of some kind with a heat shield then its on to upgrading brakes and suspension
  17. . Typed the reg plate in online and this pic came up
  18. Hi, My vr6 arrived last week, all the way from Norwich. Offside half of chin splitter got smashed going onto the truck, but otherwise arrived unscathed. 108k, fair amount of bills and original service book. Standard apart from coilovers. Radio was removed as part of the deal, stuck one in I had lying about for the last 10 years and fitted a new drivebelt that came with the car.
