hi everyone, wanna take some bits off of my vr6 engine to get polished, is it possible to do it yourself? If so, how do i go about it, im talking manifold, rocker cover,and poss a few other little bits! Also, if i cant be arsed, where is the best place to send these bits off to get them chromed or polished up, and roughly how much dosh are we looking at? any info at all would be greatly appreciated, as i'd like to get it all done for e38 this year!

does your vr have an induction kit on it, i had this problem on mine until i removed the kit and re-instated standard airbox, been fine ever since! Something to do with air sensors conflictiing and needing setting up! Y is this, did anyone else have to set up their sensors to fit an induction kit?

yup, this is how much jamie said they would be, should look awesome though!

here is a pic of the hose hope it helps

DR MAT, You are a STAR, i looked there last night, and sure enough, there is a tiny tiny hole in the top of the hose you described, only a little one, but when the system is pressurized,it pisses outta there, just been to vw and ordered new one, be in in 2 days, not bad eh! For anyone who may need it, the numbers listed on the hose are as follows 1H0121157, this i believe is the said part number, and should make ordering a new one a little easier! Thanks mat for your help, cheers again

oh, how can i check if this is the kiddy? And is it costly to replace?

norfolk is where i am m8, its started leakin bad now, im losing water somewhere, dont quite know where! have to re-fill the water resevoir about ever 15miles! When you stop, and turn engine off, you can hear it hissing and leakin from the back of the engine, under throttle controll! Its actually leaking all the way around the left hand side of the engine! Spok to a good vw garage around here, but there is 3weeks wait b4 i can book it in, and he cant giv me full price, till he has got the head off and seen if valves need re'seating, or what state the head is in!

Hi, i recently bought my raddo vr6 off a guy from wales, howver, he obv did not realise that the aux water pump had gone, nad has in turn caused a slight leak in the head gasket! I was wondering if anyone knew of somewhere good to get this fixed, also, as its done 115k miles, i'd rather like getting the timing chains and clutch done too? Does anyone know of somewhere that can undertake this sort of job, and what sort of prices im looking at, cheers

im having the same problems, mine will tilt up and down okay, but will only go back if i repeatedly press the switch, what parts could this be? or could it still be all of the above?

minie is on order from audioscape too, all included with the group buy!

hi, i have a 1993 raddo vr6, it currently has a toad full closure alarm fitted, however when i bought the car (2 months ago) the full closure did not work, it only closes the window about 10mm, then stops, it does the same with the sunroof etc! Is there anything i can do to get the system working properly as its quite annoying having to close everything manually when i want to lock up! On a differnat note, my sunroof motor is knackered, it tilts both ways fine, when you pus the switch, however to slide it open and closed, you have to keep pushing the switch hundreds of times in the direction you want it to go, otherwise it just stops! The runners were replaced before i bought the car, and it opens fully eventually, so the runners are in good order,i think the motors gone, does anybody have any suggestions on what i could try, as this may be a reason why my full closure does not work, any help would be great, cheers
