ClassicStorm, Stick with the plugs VW reccommend for your C. The stealers told me that the best oil to use in my VR was castrol Magnetec. My car runs really well with this setup! Just need to upgrade my leads to 8 or 9 ml

If you ever get the chance, take a trip to Vegas! You will love it! Nice loud car mate!

Mike16v, Is that the one from Trim sport? It doesnt come with th epolished button though to release the handbrake.

So if I walked into the dealer and said I would like a pair of Cupra R discs and calipers quoting the part numbers you gave, everything thing will fit. Whats all this drilling business on te disk - just dont like the sound of that! :shock:

ivanders, Cupra discs and calipers?

ray_vr6, Hi there. Where did you get your info from and was this the new seat range which could be different! I was born is Edinburgh! How is fantastic Edingurgh! I used to live near Drumbrae Hill, the actual road if you know it was Craigmount Avenue North? Are you near there and how old are you? I went to Clermiston school, sorry, this should be a private message, but never mind.

What set up is needed for a 93 VR6? I will invest in a set! Is there a rear upgrade that use brembo calipers? :D

It shouldnt I guess, most newer cars like the Seats etc have ABS. Its only the sensor that marries up with the ABS system in the C. Well thats my logic 8)

Bournemouth James, I did e mail you a few weeks ago asking if you wanted to meet up with myselff and another VR6 owner. I didnt hear back from you. Herbet avenue..... I do know where that is but for some reason I have just had a memory blank and cant remember exactly where it is? It will come to ,me. I must have my work brain on today! Was I behind you? I was meaning to go another way and spotted the car as it looks nice and thought you may want to play but we needed different turnings. Is your heat shield on the exhaust making a funny noise or am I thinking of someone completely different?

WE NEED GERMAN ROADS, WIDE, LONG, EMPTY AND SMMOOOOOTTTTHHHH :D

So for the record, 2 passat rear lock systems or can the front mechanisms work from the passat to avoid the child lock switch? Then 2 new handles from Vdub?

I know that there is a tool to hold the cams in place to save you having to re time your engine. Sorry, thats all I can help you with as this is out of my league! Im sure you will get all the info you need from thses guys :)

andyg60, Passat it is!

I have bought a set of braided hoses from German and Sweedish for £50 6 line kit for my VR. If I decide to go for the brembos, would I need different braided hoses or not? Cheers

Trust me, they know what they are doing. It is probably me thats getting it wrong as I was trying to understand the logic from their conversation. Anyway, they have the idea, they mentioned something along the lines of babannaman in the sence of a canister, being insulated etc, etc. I am here to promote the idea as I am the one with the C, and the one that would love to see my C You guys dont need to worry about the design, I just want to know if you guys thing that if this idea does work it will be of interest to you lot. Once its completed then you will all know hoe the system works and make your own mind up anbout the design but I promise, you won't find loop holes. Not with these guys. Anyone is welcome to have a chat with them, as I said, I need someone with VW C knowledge first to be able to assist them faster than them working it out. YThey havent said they want anyone, it was just my idea and that someone that helps us out can be an extra in the line to enable us to promote the system. I will keep you all posted as I believe in them and they are not stupid. Hey, its an idea between friends, we all meet up and chat about performance and what gains you get if you do this or that, thats just what we have done but on the subject of cold air to help intercool the engine and enable the engine to perform better in order to achieve more power etc. If it doesnt get pulled off its no big loss, its only what we plan to do, but Im sure they will design something that you all will like and want to use. They have the idea how to cool the system down, they are looking into desired temperatures to take them forward. The proof is in the pudding! :lol:

The steering is progressive steering. The harder you drive the stiffer it gets which helps with control. You have no worries there mate! 8)

Should I go Passat handles?? or stick with the C handles?

Scott, , when you say, full heat, I did try that and it took longer to heat up, I then turned the fan off and then turned the fan to cold, full whack., Did I make a mistake there? vr6storm, Thanks for that, the previous coolant was flushed completely through. I like the pink colour that you see on the expansion tank, well it looks better than green!

I went for a wonder with a mate who needed some parts for his MII Golf 16V, I noticed that the passat door handles were all gone as my passenger door handle is broken. Will a gold, newer shap fir, or VW's that look like the same opening mechanism work? I mean the handle that comes away from the body to open the door? Can I get away with a different handle or do I need to see VW or G & S? :oops:

The were discussing the bennifits, there was talk about the air con type system, i.e running througha kompressor, but they have some amazing ideas. The know that running the system ona pully will slow the car down, so they have ideas on how to run the system through a different method to which we I need to stay quiet about. I will bet my life that they produce something robust and full proove. I would prefer to have someone on the case with us that has superior knowledge so the design structure is aided by background knowledge which I dont have for the sort of scale they are talinkg about, it doesnt actually sound much different that chinese to me. I was in 2 minds weather to say anthing or not, but im sure similar odeas are known and it is for the C so I though I would let you in to my plan with them. I have someone else manufacturing domething for the VR6 which people are going to love and think is well worth buying. This mod is only a cosmetic mod, but everyoine likes shiney stuff under the bonnett. He works for a company that designs stuff for teh MOD, and is extremly talanted in this sort of design. In a week or so it should be completed and I will get a pic of it on and post it and see what you guys think. Its amazing how many people I know that are talented with this sort of work, what the hell happened to me :lol:

I have 3 chinese friends that are all engineers and spend there lifes working on cars and bikes. The mainly specilize in transport refrigeration and air con systems. One guy inparticular came up with the idea about installing a sort of fridge system to cool the air into the engine. That is my english of what I managed to understand. What they went on about was just way over my head! They have drawn several designs and want to use my car as the project car. They have all the access to the tools and materials. But we all went to the Harvister for dinner last night and it turned out to be a 3 hour conversation about how this would work and how it would bre driven. The other idea is to be able to have the system switchable and to programm a temperature once we know what the best opperating temperature is. i.e. the temp at night is much lower than during a summers hot day. If anyone is interested in finding out more, then please email me as we are looking to have the kit manufactured for the Corraod and other jap cars. My chinese mates like there jap cars so much, but they all like my VR6 and want to help me produce better power and reliability. This is the very beginning stages of an idea, these guys wanted to do something earlier but time and money were all relevant, as it is to all of us. The fact that this system will be started off on my VR6 gives us an advantage. Induction kits can only go so far. They are going to crack on with the ideas and get som nice ally cases and piping so the kit looks tasty. I will keep you all informed as to what progress they are achieving and the results and pics when its finished. Thanks for reading.

My top hose was felt by a mate / engineer who said it feels like its under too much pressure and told me to run the car with the engine off and get the air out of the system. I did this last night, at first it was giving off small but regular air bubbles untill it started to look like a water fountain then I switched off and let it cool and added the G12 coolant and some water. The house noe feels much softer and I dont know weather its me but the car feels much prouder on the road, I say proud, but I mean relaxed, the engine feels more comfortable and a bit quicker. Did I do this properly? I had a new thermostate fitted when the head gaket was done and new coolant etc. Im sure what I have done was correct but always like to get a second opinion from a fellow C owner.

Waranty - you have to be so carefull with warantys, make sure you get from him in writing what it covers, the amount and length of time. Give his suggestions of a problem you might experience and then ask him if you're covered. Get him to refer to the waranty booklet and show you examples to back his theory up.

I used to own a midnight Blue G60, it was sold to a chap that lived in wimborne, reg number was K VNH I cant remember the beginning. I have had my VR for 1 year now, I am always around town - bournemouth. Do you know Rob Swan, he drives a BMW M3 EVO , in estoril Blue, silver leather and 19inch Crome rims?
