yes i want to knoif any other isv's will fit or not, thanks for the infor anout the 16v one :D

hi, im having all sorts of miss fireing/ bad idleing problems. i know i need an icv and im just wondering if anyone knows if these are the same on a vr6 as on any other vw's.... for example mk2 golf or rado 16v??? only wondering this as a friend once found one in another friends garage and it seemed to fix his icv problem when it packed up!! it was strance cos the garage we found it in had never seen a vr6, it had only seen a mk2 8v!!!

O dear, was it expensive? I'm sorry I had so few responses mate :(

did you ever work out if there was a faulty relay? i have no noise with ignition....

im trying to check all the wires.. there are lots of wires going into the cl pump... does anyone know what should be positive? and when it should be? thanks

How do I sort that and it it expensive?

hi, i just bought a vr6 with 130k on the clock, it just had a new head gasket and new chain guides. it had not been used for a while and when first started made a high pitched whine/squeek from the left/ drivers side of the engine to the side of the engine cover.. i think its an oil brether around that area.. got better after a long drive but still does not sound rite?? any ideas? :D

hi, my 94' vr6 rado has a toad alarm on it but the central locking has stopped working... so it does not unlock from any of the doors or with the key fob!! all fuses seem ok and i read about the common prob with the fuse blowing and cutting the windows with the locking... not that... very strange, the pump is making no noise... what should i check first? pump? how? could it be to do with the sensors on the door handels?? any ideas? thanks ppl :D

Thanks dude that's amazing information! God send!

thinking of buying a car that needs the brake lines replacing for mot... mum's jacked up hi lux needs them sorting too.. is it a hard job? whats the deal do u have to buy some special pipe and a special tool for bending or something? where would i get the bits and bobs? thanks people :D

I had. Problem like this recently and found one of the cables was comi g off the gear box... Y not have a quick look, I managed to cable tie mine back on. Seemed a bit bodged but actually worked quite well and made gear change allot more acurate! Good luck friend

amazing advice i will check! thank u so much!!! :notworthy:

its really strange tho, are u all saying that the coil pac could have it running fine one minute then once revved up only when cold it could loose 2 cylinders till warmed up?? wouldn't it be difficult to test with a spark tester if its an intermittent fault?

it was replaces about 6 months ago, its weird how it only does it for a bit on start up when cold only once revved!! is it possible that warming it up could make something electrical work better?

is there any way of testing a coil pack? i know about the spraying water thing and looking out for arking but have already checked that and its not split...???

hi, i have spent a while on the knowledge base but could not find anything. i have a 1995 m reg vr6 storm, when you start the engine from cold the car seems to run fine but as soon as u give the car any throttel, once the revs drop it seems to struggle! it seems like suddenly 2 cylinders are not fireing?? some times it almost stalls, its sounds really roulgh and then eventuall it sorts itself out once the car warms up?? whats going on? i have had a new: coil pack ht leads plugs oil filters i have cleaned out the throttel body and induction pipework checked for air leaks and changed a few rubber vacume hoses. i thought it could be the isv so i took it off cleaned it, lubed it up and then tested it and it seemed to work fine... i stuck it on vag com and all that showed up was a few funny readings from the lambda probe, my specialist mechanic mate said it should not cause a problem tho. any ideas ppl?? :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

where do i find this signal wire? :confused4:

any ideas? i sould not find anything in the search?? the car has had some chavvy lights put behind the dash! could something have come dis connected or broken? whats the usual suspect? any ideas of what to search for in the knowlage base? :help: thanks :help:

does anyone know if its a big job to swap an auto box for a manual one? thanks

just payed some one to help me.... confusing but worked it out. involved sticking a spanner up in between wishbone and chassis.

do you have to take the steering rack out to remove the drivers side steering arm?? otherwise how do u get to it?? what should i remove?? thanks ppl :notworthy:

i have checked the cir clip and its fine, i read your posts from your problem and some others. i have been fiddling with the linkage and i think its helping.. it feels like the problem is with the push down part to get into reverse.. i will check where the biting point is now... the clutch release bearing is making a noise when in neutral... i dont suppose that would suggest anything?? thanks guys :D

very cool!!!! i actuallly have some so i will try that now!!!! invaluable info!!!!!! :clap: :salute:

hi i have been doing allot of research in the search box thingy.. but didnt quite get how you adjust the gear linkage on the gear box side?? has anyone got a link the pic's explaining it?? i have had a fiddle with both the adjusters and i think its getting better but i really want to eliminate the problem im having with reverse and 1'st completely. THATKS!!!! :clap:

i have a miss fire on my 1995 vr6. i noticed today there is an intermitant spark coming from the edge of one of the terminals that the ht leads slot over. it's more obvious at idle. im just wondering if there is a way of bodge :norty: insulating the coil pack temporarily as i cant afford £190 at the moment for a new one???? i have tried insulating tape and gaffa but it was not a strong enough bodge!! thanks :notworthy:
