    VR6 engines

    I'll check up on that engine code tomorrow at work. It's all news to me I have to say.
  4. My Golf does exactly the same. Not so much grinding but a heavy "clunk" it usually does it after re-starting from hot. I was wondering if the clutch was dragging a little.
  5. Would that be Mystic blue by any chance? Stunning Colour. Yea sounds about right on price to me.
  6. What do you guys think of this? Not much use on a standard Corrado intercooler but what about front mounts? Like my golf :wink: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 60237&rd=1
  7. Well i would if I had any money. Anyway I prefer fords Oh dear :roll:
  8. Synta oils are not available in bulk - or they weren't 3 years ago when I worked for VW. 5L cans would work out way too expensive for dealers to use in the quantities that would be required. We actually offer the Synta oils as a cheaper alternative. A lot of lease companies have it instead of GTX Magnatec because it's a fair bit cheaper.
  9. You could always get a Golf G60 :twisted: :lol: :lol: :lol: Ok Ok I'll go away now :splat:
  10. VW of course :wink: 8) We also have a Porsche dealer in the group, and I was under the impression the whole group is using Castrol, (group also includes Ferrari, Maserati, BMW amongst others) as we changed from using Duckhams a while back.
  11. Thats interesting mate :| We put 10-40 Magnatec in pretty much everything at work (main dealer) :roll:
  12. Have you checked all your tyres? Unevenly worn and mishapen tread can give a wheel-bearing out type noise on the road.

    CAT BYPASS

    I fitted one to my Golf and I could notice a slight difference. It also made the car a bit louder, which I liked but others may not. I got mine from Raceland for a very reasonable price (less than £40 trade) They don't list it for a G60 but its the same as there Golf 2 16V one. Quality and fit were both very good.
  14. How much is the Subscription on these? How often do it need to be updated? Oh, and do they work? :roll:
  15. Got to agree again with the Halfords gear. I use to work in Halfords for a bit so bought a load of it up on staff discount :wink: I use it everyday at work now and rarely get anything break. And when I do i just go back there and get it swapped. Job done. :thumbleft:

    my baby

    Thats the black one from Newquay aint it? I did hear about something going wrong over Truro, I work at Helston VW.
  17. Yea I'll check that. Somehow its up and running again?! However, I have found a water leak onto the relay plate. So I'm gonna replace that and cure the leak. Been driving it the last two days and it hasn't skipped a beat. Cars hey, who'd have 'em :!: :?: :wink:
  18. Depends how far you want to go really? I would say at minimum new top strut mounts-you can get uprated aftermarket ones if you wish. Or if you want to go the whole distance, you could fit poly bushes all the way through. Apparently they can be had fairly cheaply through GSF. It's just the fitting which can add up if you are unable to do the work yourself. Hope this helps

  20. Halfords ones are Ok but dear. Go to your local dealer and ask for a Quantum or Genuine alternative. We stock Varta ones are they are shit hot. think you can get the biggest one for 40 odd quid.
  21. Put Toyo Proxes T1-R's on my golf about a month ago. Can't praise them hignly enough. Extremely good in both wet and dry. :thumb right:
