Hey, Thanks guys, that's a pretty comphrehensive list! I'll giv them a bell 2moro &see how much they add on 4that lil lot. Rear engine mount might be a no no, i think they are planning on just lowering the engine on the gearbox side 2do the work so could add alota time 2do the job if i ask 4that, i'll c. They sound quite confident, say they've done a few of them, company is vw specialists RK Engineering btw, don't know if anyone's ever heard of them?!! Hopefully all thermostat housing is ok, had a new rad, thermo and electric water pump a couple years back and i went through all that then. Cheers.

Hiya, Not a regular, but had a VR6 rado for a few years with 140k miles on the clock. Just discovered while sticking in a fresh set of hydraulic cam followers last week that the upper timing chain tensioner has just started to catch the top rivets. Had a quote I thought quite reasonable of £500 to change all tensioners (the curved metal bits, the plastic guides, and the oil pressure operated tensioner bolt itself), both chains and a new clutch-it has done 140k after all, with genuine parts including labour at a specialist. While they've got it that far apart, any suggestions on anything else that could and should be changed? Have had a search but couldn't find any similar q's, did find a very good quide of how to change them if i was keen enough myself though!! Many thanks.

Hi. I'm a bit concerned about the temperature my VR6 is running at. However I noticed if i read say 124, turn off the engine, then immediately turn the ignition back on, it will read randomly between 10-20 degrees lower. Is my sensor nackered? I'm a newun to this forum and VR's by the way!
