My VR6 sat in specialist garage for a week now :( £1000 bill already And a new problem now has arisen :( The Coolant Housing is leaking - AAAARRRGGHHH! Garage managed to order the Coolant Housing (535121647) from Greece. But he's not been able to source the Coolant Housing Seal (535121687) - He s tried VW Heritage already. Does anyone know where he can try? Where is the place in Germany that also source elusive parts? Thanks all!

Er No! :) Sorry, Tiger - u completely opposite of the M4 :(

Cool Andy! I have assigned Seanl82 as my Rado Guru. U are my Rado "financial" advisor now ;)

Cheers Sean :) U seem to know everything! Just that it does look tight from the inside :( Not got my car back yet - could be EVEN tighter in my car! That spare sunroof doesn't slide proper (had to push on one side to close) AND the Allen key turns with a LOUD SNAP from time to time - eeeek! Hope mine doesn't do that...

Well Remember my leaky sunroof (only from rear)? Well The car was parked at a slight UP incline So the water should have drain backwards into the drain channels and out via the tubes. I got a spare sunroof and decided to tinker a little ... The front drain tubes ok to clean The rear ones will need to remove the headlining - eeek! This must be where its leaking thru 1st line of defence is the black outside seals. 2nd line this black tube along the back? The inner seal I know Seanl82 shown me to remove the sunroof is maybe to undo those allen bolts (2 on each side from inside) - but its tight there, so maybe undo the bolts from outside (2x white bolts)? Think I will do the following: 1. Order new outer black seals £58 2. Order new inner grey seals £22 3. Refurb the black tube seal at the back of sunroof

The Amazing ESCAPADES of "Lima 8-1-9 Delta Papa Echo"[L819 DPE]! COMING to a forum near you soon! :) :) :) ;) Lol Easter is just round the corner. Plans are afoot to visit my parents in Bristol. Any members enroute? ;)

Cheers Andy :) A proper chat about things we love (our cars) is well worth missing out on a lovely cuppa ;) So dont worry! :) Yeah Thanks Andy - it was definite worth meeting u U given me advice i certainly agree with Will crack on with it now :)

Cheers Dave :) Will be down with my old shifter sometime Easter! Maybe a little blast together? ;)

Hi Bud Start a new Local Meet thread and people will join in! :) Post the link here too just in case ;)

Picked up in person today :) Cheers Dave! ;)

Each members Corrado i see these few days, the more i am jealous with envy! :) Nice to meet u Dave! Thanks for: Short Shift + Door Handle repair kit :) And Daves mint, MINT VR6!!!! Look at the engine bay!!!

Seanl82 ! Thanks for the gift :) But as we know my youngest placed it in a place that was very safe.. ...behind my car and then i reversed when departing ... But Andy has saved the day and given me a replacement gift! :) This time I WILL guard it with my life! :) This is the BEST EVER FORUM ever ever! :) Andy (HairyArse) - nice to meet u too! U have such a well maintained VR6 too! Thanks for the hospitality and free use of the loo for my party too ;)

Both eBay and VeeDubMachine wants £58 Anywhere else cheaper? Cheers all :)

7pm just got to birmingham (4 hours later than planned :( ) Off to Chinatown for grub now :)

Thanks :) Who down on power?

Wow I need to monitor mine!

Wow!

Lol I was trying to work it out myself U see I am surprised my car can do 100+ miles with 1/2 tank of fuel On different roads. Now it has a 77litre tank What do one usually get from full tank on mostly city and A roads?

Cool Will think about it!

Excellent! :) Thanks! I might do that ... Or would the £50 best spent coming down on Stealths RR on 1st March? How much they charge on the day for dyno?

Picking up a Short Shifter from Daves16 tomorrow Tuesday. Returning my old one (and another members) over Easter in person. I am in West Yorks, Daves16 on J25 M1. Does anyone want me to collect theirs and drop off at Daves16??? Cheers Wayne

How much will dyno run cost? If power down is it not better to remap to extract more power? 122k Original chain (i guess) No mods except cone filter, coilovers

I was under the impression RS Tuning is more expensive than Stealth? What u think? Take it to Stealth to do chain guides/tensioners + remap? Or to RS Tuning? Though Leeds is only 20miles from me ...

Cheers mate! Not sure i can get away that day :(

Plans have changed !!! As costs are adding up :( My usual plans of ONLY using a SPECIALIST, AND service all parts for piece of mind (full service including timing chain) - Will now change to: 1. Timing chain is fine, no noises etc 2. Maybe using a cheaper garage for bog standard jobs (disc/pads) 3. For piece of mind: WILL replace timing chain GUIDES/TENSIONERS only - and Door handle repair kit (Daves16) 4. I still want to enjoy my VR6: - so get Stealth for small remap - Short Shift (Daves16) - Upgrade Headlight looms (James) 5. Potentially sell later in the year :( :( :( Think this is a good financial AND enjoy-VR6 approach?
