Chaos

pretty sure its just over 5litres (including filter change)......it should tell you the capacities in the owner's manual :wink: useful IF u have an owners manual i spose :-P :-P :-P

does anyone know how much oil a vr6 takes on an oil change?

yeah i looked on there b4, but it doesnt list the corrado (or golf vr6) so i'll have to ring them tomorrow

cheers. its mainly the fitting kit i need as i have vouchers for a (mainly ford) car spares shop so can use them to order an actual oil cooler as otherwise i wont use them up.

ive looked back thru the posts and it seems a few ppl have fitted these. ive got a few questions. i. what size mocal cooler wud ppl recommend - i know 13 row but what size ii. wheres the best place to get a fitting kit for it pref including a thermostatic sandwich plate as opposed to a pass thru type one

after buying my car yesterday(vr6) on driving home i found i was getting oil temps of around 134 - 140 degrees at 85mph ish and higher temps at higher speeds up to a maximum of 160 degrees !!!!! water sat around the 110 mark all the way i was a little worried about the oil temp as u wud be. once home i left the car sitting for 9 hours odd i just went for a short drive and both oil and water temps hit 80 degrees within 3 miles just driving round town an doing no more than 35mph oil from dipstick wasnt hot, engine didnt feel hot. im guessing that maybe the oil temp sender is knackered ????? id always intended on fitting an oil cooler anyways, prob a mocal 13 row jobbie, but does anyone know where i can buy an oil cooler kit designed for a vr6. b4 doing the kit however i do wanna get to the bottom of this massive oil temp tho any ideas anyone. (where is the oil temp sender located by the way?)

ive found optimax to vary when im back in essex visiting the family i normally fill with optiamx as thats the closest garage with an sul type fuel. its a very busy garagea nd is smack bang on a busy main road into southend and has a good turnaround on fuel i suspect, therefore im assuming the stuff is prety fresh - my experiences bear thos out and ive not had a problem. when im back in cardiff the local shell station is small, and tucked out of the way. ive had some very poor results (on both mpg and responsiveness) on the optimax here and i tend to try and avoid it. everytime ive used bp or esso (or texaco) the car responds well.

taken form another forum as for octane boosters, they r quite simply a watse of money - THEY DO NOT WORK.

personally i wudnt bother finding opticrap garages and id just use normal SUL a lot of scooby boys have found that opticrap degrades over time (both in ur tank AND the garages big one) and it isnt always what its rated at.

im getting a vr6, hopefully in the next week or so these dials sound excellent so can u add me to the list please? (as long as the dials are gonna be black)

true. but i can get up on a cold morning and drive down the road i will literally get big pops an bangs within 50 yds or so ive seen the light anyways ;) and the pulsar is hopefully going on saturday and then its time to seriously start looking for a vr6 corrado

ive got a pulsar gtir atm and it pops and bangs all the time, including from dead cold

ok im confused. (doesnt help that its nearly 2am and i have a migraine) which part number do i need to replace the drivers side, an which for the passenger side. and which blade do i need to replace?

does this mod make much difference?
