I took out the front grill on mine, felt up at the top of the radiator and pulled the cable down and forward this released it for me.

Sweet looking car mate :thumbleft:

Could well be the lambda sensor mate if its overfueling. running to rich so emissions will be high.

I know a chap who bought a vr6 from TCS, apart from wear and tear like brake pads, its been a good car.

Hi fred wellcome to the forum, does sound like your heater matrix is gone. is the windscreen also very greasy? Oil temp at 104 is ok all the vr6s ive had have run around that, 110 is not extreme. The smoke from the front wheel arches sounds like the brakes are binding but im sure someone else will be able to enlighten you futher. The accelerator pedal being stiff is simmilar to mine when i got the vr6 i have now. I sprayed wd40 down the cable and it soon loosened off. Hope this helps you a bit mate.

The pin switcheson my doors stuck in for a past time mate until i changed them.

Have you got early or late door pods mate? You can do it, but to stop the speakers sounding tinney, the pods need strengthning up on the back ideally with fibreglass filler. This will give them more ridgidty and deaden out the pods giving better bass responce etc.

The 1988-96 Manual is available haynes 3498. however it does not cover the 16 valve engine. howver the 2l 16valve engine is covered in the vw golf/ vento manual 3097. can supply for £13 delivered bud.

What year is it on mate?

My girlfreind payed vw 286 quid to do the tracking caster and camber! It drove like a dream after but still way too much.

If you push the cone in on the sub with your hand does it make a grating sound mate?

Hi mate there is a vw specialist in winton, they did valve stem seals on a vr for me once. I think it was called J Shergold Motor Vehicle Repairs but it was a good five years ago now. 01202 512312 Good honest workmanship and knowledgable on corrados. also the quattro motor company in poole are not bad 01202 667223.

Looks good bud, wellcome to the forum :D

My bro had trouble with them or a company like them bud, they never sold the car either!

Used g3 on a very dull white bmw the other day. Brought it up really well, then polished with meguiars gold class which also worked well.
