    VR6 mis-fire...

    Mmmmmmmmmm This morning I thought I would take the VR6 to work.... she was flying along nicely - felt very strong on the power... but twice when coming out of roundabouts on acceleration she mis-fired quite hard once or twice... something is up... yesterday I started her up and she idled fine for couple of mins then cut out suddenly... a nightmare to get started again but once did - was fine.. Plugging in vagcom tonight and checking plugs..... ignition switch replaced 12 months ago so dont think it can be that. Any pointers?

    Steam Cleaning

    GUNK stinks!!!! :( I prefer to use autoglym engine cleaner and then jet wash it away :wink: I then go round with an air line and blast the lot off before using autoglym tyre cleaner to go over all the plastic / rubber pipes / etc... looks like new as you can see:

    "Humming" noise

    Agreed mate - mine for the first time in 2yrs lost a little bit of water - so I topped it up... went five miles... went home and as I pulled up outside house it dumped its coolant all down the driveway and the lights come on dash.... :lol: At least she got me home :wink:

    Rattling @ 3000 revs

    Well in my old 16V Corrado and my VR6 I change at 2500rpm on the dot until I see 80 deg C oil temps.... I would never ever go above 3000rpm with a cold engine (any engine) unless it was an emergency
  23. It looks no worse than any other induction kit..... *TUT*
