    have started noticing a high pitched noise coming from the engine bay when the engine has warmed up at idle. It must be clutch related because it goes away when the clucth pedal is depressed and comes back on release. :roll: I think it is the clutch release bearing. Sound right? Is it a serious problem - I am sure it has gotten slowly more noticeable but am not sure what it will lead to. Ideas anyone?

    I used just over half a litre!

    The platinums - BKR5EKUP are £6.44 Still - a fantastic site -wish I knew of them before!!Thanks very much for this, Deako,

    I just bought the platinum ones for my service (NGK from the dealer) but must admit I have had absolutely no problem with the standard NGK's - they have lasted very well indeed. Plus they are so cheap - only £3.50 each! I just thought i would get the platinums for the sake of being sure that I had the best.

    nice one, Andy! Thanks :)

    thanks everyone! really appreciated! Didnt realise that I had to do the master cylinder too. Also - I take it that I just need to ignition on and not the engine actually running for the ABS pump?

    Eug, if you are in Buckhurst Hill why didnt you just go to Abridge VW?

    cheers, Andy do you need to take the wheels off or anything? Is it a case of draining the bleed valves. As you can tell - I havent done it personally before but want to make sure I am doing the right thing! :help: Nick

    Can anyone give me a step by step guide for bleeding the brakes on my VR6?
  10. Nick_Micouris
    now without sounding really silly - how do I bleed the brakes!? Is it very very easy?
  11. Nick_Micouris
    ah! so he was right - 1 litre!? may as well see if he will let me return the extra litre then
  12. Nick_Micouris
    the guy at the stealers was adamant that I only needed 1 litre but I bought two. I take it he was being a fool!
  13. Nick_Micouris
    Mate! Wicked - thanks!
  14. Nick_Micouris
    Thanks! What do all the DOTs mean then?
  15. Nick_Micouris
    I am going to bleed the brakes but wanted to know how much brake fluid to buy and also which fluid to buy. Cheers :)

    Blimey - I swore he said £14.50 each for the heated ones at the stealer and I thought that was a joke. £30 is just embarassingly expensive!
  17. Nick_Micouris
    The noooooo! was for the LEDS :) That is great I thought the dealers wanted at least £15 each!
  18. Nick_Micouris
    nooooooooooooooooooo :)

    I am after a replacement windscreen washer jet - it is heated and I wondered if GS&F or Europarts stock them and if anyone knows how much I should expect to pay? I keep cleaning mine and no matter what I do, they block!! Cheers :)

    yes and back then when VW were not making much in the way of luxury - it must have seemed really expensive!! "£23k for a VW!??", many would have protested!
  21. Nick_Micouris
    I think it was around £22k- may be wrong! I did have a price list but can't find it!
  22. Nick_Micouris
    I am so sorry and disappointed for you, Dinkus. :( This is really, really, really depressing. I can't believe I had not noticed this thread. I hope you do get another C - buy yours back and keep the new one going with all the spares! At the end of the day at least you are not hurt! AS Kev says - these VW's are indeed very tough beasts.
  23. Nick_Micouris
    christ! looks sensational - The finest dream modded "C" surely! Nice one, PhatVR6,
  24. Nick_Micouris
    have you replaced yours, dr_mat, ?
  25. Nick_Micouris
    Has anyone here actually had a tensioner fail on them?? There are many high miler VR6's on here - have they all had their tensioners replaced? I know a chap who had a VR that he had from new (started as his company car) and he had clocked 230+k on the clock and didn't know what I meant when I spoke of changing tensioners. His was a K plate '93 model.
