Dervice

Hi all, Before I go and get all bits together and build up thought I would see if anyone has a forged low comp Vr block or even better full boost ready big valve engine. So before I go and get a load of bits from schimmel if anyone has the above or a set of 263's please let me know Must be low miles and have zero issues and although is a massive longshot it's always worth an ask :)

Hi all, just seeing if anyone has all the bits to do the obd2 conversion they want to sell? Have a golf vr that I was going to use as donor but may use it as a daily for now. If you do please let me know, thanks

Well, update on this...just had a voicemail from them saying that the system hadn't been updated and that unfortunately they cannot get it in as they are now obsolete!! Nice chap saying if i needed any help at all to get touch so will give him a call back in the morning see if maybe he has an idea of where to get one although i doubt it. Back to square 1 again :bonk:

Thanks to all for your help :)

Whoa not kidding, just spoken to VW and quoted the part number Ian gave £72.18 inc VAT so cheaper. Will be in tomorrow morning so have ordered from them.

Already done this a few times with various things, fast learning the nature of this beast! seems to have solved the issue though for now, I did change the inlet hose as it had split quite badly but the problem was still there, fingers crossed this was the problem.

Thanks Ian will give that a go :)

I tried VW heritage and they didnt have any. Strangely 2 guys at VW didnt have a clue what i meant even with searching! Thats why i have asked for the part number but will try classic parts, thanks

Hiya mate i will take one for a 93 vr6 if you have any left?

Hi guys, Ive had an issue with constant stalling at junctions/roundabouts and seems whenever i dip the clutch, the revs drop and the car dies. I have found the problem to be the dashpot being very slack and offering no resistance when throttle is off and the TB is slamming shut. I have temporarily solved the problem by winding it right up and it is now doing its job but of course isn't optimal. Question is after trawling the forum and various places online is where would i get a new replacement? Can anyone point me towards somewhere that would have them? Thanks in advance

No problem mate, thanks anyway :)

You have pm buddy.

If you could mate that would be great thanks

Anyone got one of these please ? I need the large pipe that comes off throttle body to maf and am also after the pcv hose as mine aren't in good shape. Must be willing to post or collection around the portsmouth area. Thanks in advance Ben

If you could that would be great pal, drop me a pm and will send payment :) Cheers Ben

Hi Tom, I will have a set off you buddy. When do you think you could get them sent out? I only ask as i have the car up the phirm on Friday for some work so if there was any chance that would be great, if not its not a problem though. Cheers Ben

Hi, are you still making these up? If so i would be after a full set for my vr6

Wonder if any of you could offer up some advice, I am going to be fitting some TT comps 17 x 7.5 et32 and have been looking through the forum but still unsure on best tyre size. I know from reading that a lot of people on here have run the comps with spacers and 205/40/17 and with a few rubbing occurs. They will be on coilovers, not super lows but sitting right, so whats peoples thoughts on a 195/40 profile? I saw someone on here had them but didnt go into detail. Would it eliminate rubbing or could it cause some other issues? Also I guess with a 195 profile there would be slight stretch so what tires would be a good option from your points of views as I have found some uniroyals rs2 in this profile for a decent price although not sure what they're like for stretch. Thanks

Thanks guys :) booked into the Phirm for a day after going up last week for a few things that need getting done so looking forward to that.
