I have been using my corrado VR6 daily without problem untill one day i noticed a knocking noise coming from the front left wheel area which i found out to be my jamex coilovers leaking oil out the top. :mad: I have since been told its not worth fixing them and to get some springs and dampers so i am looking to buy some cheap lowered springs dampers to keep on the road for the summer just wondered what makes are best and where is the cheapest or even if any one has any good second hand examples thanks

hi is it difficult to change the gearbox oil on a vr6 and do you need a special allen key tool to do it. thanks

if there is still spaces left i will be at donny on the 28th of november sounds good fun hopefully i will c some of you there

hi there my matrix started leaking earelier this year but i just bypassed it as i am lazy but its getting to that time of year where one is quite nice. What kind of job is it to change ?hear you have to take out the dash is this true? thanks

I got a set of hoses of asim a few months ago hes a nice bloke and was very helpful. :thumb right: Cheers james

Hi im considering buying a supercharger for my VR :D and just wondered with the different brands around which gives the best results and what is it like to drive and how much quicker it makes it. Any info would be much appreciated thanks

Ive done this it is a bit off a bastard as the glue takes ages of rubbing to get off. I took mine out to help with under bonnet temp and mine was a bit ripped anyway it wasnt noticeable difference but did make induction kit that bit louder :lol:. i have been told since that it could make the paint flake or discolour but havnt noticed anything like that yet and dosnt appear i will either.

cheers all i have ordered it today and will change it tomorrow and hopefully that will have sorted it. :D

cheers

where is it located and can you tell by looking at it. thanks

its a new radiator about 4 weeks old. it is certanily worth checking though i will take off the hoses and run a hosepipe through it hopefully that should see if there is any blockages or crap in it.

no i havnt where is the thermostat? I havnt changed the water pump either is there any way to see if these are broken? thanks for reply corradovr6sc

Since i last spoke to you i have rebled the coolant on my VR and used water wetter which did make a bit better but it is still to hot. I today took it to a VW specialist to rebleed it for my own piece of mind and it came back the same. The top rad hose is very hot while the bottom one is cold is this normal? My aux water pump is not working i have found out :evil: could this be the cause of the problem or will this only come on when parked? Also the breather pipe i think it is that comes out of the left side of the engine near the inlet manifold and gos into the black pipe (about 6 inches long) which your air filter mounts on to with a electrical connection in between. Mine has a thin coating of oil inside the pipe. What is this? Is this normal? Any help is much appreciated thanks.

Thanks for that yellow slc i asked mocal about it and he explained it in more detail it sounds pretty straight forward is it?

Hi i have just brought a 25 row mocal oil cooler without fittings and wondered what kind of a job it is to fit and where the best place to get fittings from would be? Where do the pipes come off that go to the cooler so i can be pretty clued up when it arrives thanks
