If its leaking then yes its not going to help matters.
-
Thats the fuel pressure regulator. The hose is an air line, so dont worry about leaking fuel. Just replace the hose/trim it if theres still enough to re attach.

Got the same problem with mine Ollie. Not had a chance to look in to it yet though, but most probably a faulty sensor as a few have already mentioned.

Stainless steel VR6 6-2-1 exhaust manifold - whats the best?

Jay I used the Thermo-tec copper wrap. (still haven’t quite finished it though). I am also going to spray mine to seal it as recommended. -
Peanut is right, it just goes to a blank connection.
-
look into getting a shorter final drive, that will improve your 1/4 times. Thats doable for £500.

I'd take the alfa over the s3 any day, but then again i am an "engine" kind of guy 8)

Sorry to hear that chap. -
Check when the engines cold. On level ground.
-
As above. Mine has had a GSF/non vag rad fitted at some point, not great quality ...
-
That is way ott. Might as well get an aftermarket system like magnex, supersprint or a complete custom system for about £350 fitted.
-
Just had a look in the engine bay on mine, it's not connected either so wouldn't worry. Not to sure what its for though lol.
-
As above really. Although a BMC Cda is a good place to start. Tested on stealths rr proved a 7bhp gain. Other breathing mods like big bore throttle body, port matching inlet manifolds decat and exhaust will free up a few more ponies. After this is gets expensive i.e cams, VSR manifold, head work and probably the best option on a vr FI supercharger/turbo.
-
tyre size is irrelevant to pressure. PSI (pounds per square inch). I usually put 32 all round then adjust from there. I run 34 front 32 rear on the VR which I think is standard factory quoted pressures.
-
I also spoke to the guy on ebay who did A218s (like the RX) with Proxes for £500. He says that they are only made now in the 4 stud pattern so if you have a 5 stud you'll need to get a set second hand or maybe shipped in from the States. Steve, i loved your wheels and just missed out on them but i've been trying to find a set ever since. No luck yet. James. Cheers dude. Have a new set of wheels now though, quite similar ....

Mocal fitted to the VR but need help with a coolant hose
steve @ replied to martyjmcfly's topic in Engine Bay
http://www.gruvenparts.com/ Its known as the crack pipe, standard plastic one is pants as you have found :lol: . The ally one from Gruven allows you to block the heat/exchanger hole off (due to the hole being internally treaded). I have just ordered one before fitting my Mocal cooler. -
I ve had ace wheels before. Couldnt fault them very good finish.
-
Think stealth is £800+vat.
-
LOL I ve probably spent the best part of 2k so far .... more to come 8)
-
look awesome mate nice choice!
-
Yeah if you fitted just a rear mount. undo the gear box and front mount then push pull the engine then re torque all mount nuts. Was it a standard rear mount you fitted?
-
17x8 will be fine. Not 100% sure but 17x9 might give you problems on the rear.
-
Lowered my VR6 by 40mm..but not happy with ride..HELP??
steve @ replied to DUBST4R's topic in Drivetrain
Its the springs, Ventura are pretty pants tbh very harsh. Get your self some PI springs. -
Sorry not feeling it. But then again dont think i am ever going to be a jap man.

Pre Evo VI's look so dated and plain Jane boring. Interiors are rancid as well all IMO of course
