Thanks Gareth, I just wanted to make sure people didnt think I work for Volkscars, it was not ment to have a go at you in any way as Im sure you understand. I was happy to do the work on your car, you are a really nice chap and I must say a bacon sarny waiting at the door when I arrived was the crowning moment!!! As I said if you want any assistance in the future please give me a shout. Graham

Hi Gareth, Ive only just read this thread, just to make it clear to everyone Im not employed by Volkscars, i have done work for them in the past including the work I carried out on your car. All parts were supplied by them, and any issues about the heater controls or motor should have been delt with by them. unfortunatly this obviously wasnt the case. I was not informed of any further problems and I would have been happy to help you if requested by Volkscars or yourself. Im sorry you have had a bad experience with your car and I would be happy to help you if you require any more assitance in the future. Graham

Great just give me a shout when your ready. Graham

Can I have first dibs on your wheels if you do sell them?? :) Graham

Wow thats come up really well, your polishing skills at there best!!

Agreed ive got three but ones a spare coz im greedy!

Cheers Warwick the cheques in the post! lol

Being a mechanic ive used most makes of tools and you cant beat Facom, Just as good as Snap off and half the price, most of my tools are facom now. Graham

Blimey the dash and steering wheel are all pushed up :shock:

Welcome to the forum!

BUMP ^^^

lmao :lol: The only thing you can do with them is spend money delaying the trip to scrap yard!

There fine to work on,the only time ive had to take a vr6 out is to replace the whole engine, you can do the chains etc with it in the car, the only things that can be a pain is the oil cooler, oil filter housing on the front of the engine, they can be a bit of a squeeze to get to. But the chances of them needing work is minimal. The G60 would be easier to work on but theres not much in it

Had a good look round this with you, well worth the money, should make a good daily.

I had a bit of a drama last night, one of the fuel pipes burst on my car! needless to say i had brown trousers when it started to missfire and i smelt petrol!Luckily it didnt ignite and there was no damage. It was one of the pipes that attaches to the fuel rail and runs across the side of the rocker cover on a vr6, It might be worth checking yours just incase. And Im gonna invest in a fire extinguisher ASAP! Graham

Hi mate here goes, MK2's are good solid cars but getting on a bit, check for rust on wings, floor etc. Cambelts are due at 80k on most models. PAS is a must and is only standard on late 16v's theres plenty of 8v's with it youve just gotta find one. 8 or 16v? totally up to you they both have thier plus points just try a few and see what you think. Later cars have a better spec usually, also the wiring was updated from 90 on. MK2's suffer badly with seized calipers especially the rears. Hope that helps! Graham

Looks evil!!! Love it ! Graham

Up close these look OEM except for the colour of course! lol. Did you pop and see Tim about your paint Karl? Graham

Looks great cant wait to see it trimmed

Hi Karl, Good to meet you aswell, Im sure he'll do a great job on yours he always does! Thanks for the advice on chargers etc. Im really impressed with your interior, I hope mine turns out as nice! Graham

Started work on my dash on sunday, Ive cut the face off it ready for the change of shape...Just need to decide what clocks im gonna put in...more to follow soon. Ive slowly been retrimming my door cards during my lunch breaks, should get them done in time for Tatton Park. :)

Cheers KADVR6, wheel as described, thanks for meeting me half way. Graham

Ill third that

Itll either be the release bearing or the clutch pressure plate breaking up, either way the box will have to come out to investigate.

Good point TT wheels are 5X100 so you might not be able to get adapters, as herisites said a conversion would be the other route to go
