Already checked the leads, but I'll have a look at the plugs tonight and have a look at the wiring in case there's owt obvious Cheers guys!

Standard 10w40 semi-synthetic - same stuff she always has and I've never had any issues before. Some-one has mentioned to me that it could be be exhaust related?

Hi, Cheers for the reply - I've checked that and the oil level is fine.... Si

Hi folks, Dropped the oil/filter at the wknd and also the coolant and then replaced like for like. Since then, there's been a lot of vibration below 3k and hardly any power at all - she isn't revving very freely either... Anyone any ideas? Cheers Si

Yep, mine does it too!!

Cheers. Can anyone who's removed the allen key bit tell me if this looks right?

So if I were to purchase something along these lines: https://www.pap-parts.com/prodinfo.asp?number=021%20115%20433%20A My allen key drain plug should fit?

So if the filter housing is standard should this mean the standard replacement from VW should fit (even though it has a drain plug through the middle)? Do you use the standard oil filter with yours (i.e. with the drain through the middle)?

Hi, The oil filter housing on my VR6 is cracked where the molded nut meets the main part of the housing. The housing itself appears to be non-standard as it doesn't have a drain plug through the middle of it (which I understand to be standard). The car is a '92 VR6 with an ABV engine - can anyone help?! The current filter housing looks like this: Cheers Si

Slave cylinder went on my VR6 a few months back - main symptom was that it dumped the entire reservoir of fluid all over the road when it went! It'd been gradually been leaking out and needing topping up for a while before it eventually went - Turned out that it was the seal that was shafted. Sounds like the same symptom though, pedal clunked straight against the bulkhead when you pressed it.....

I wouldn't if I were you!!

That means that the sidewall of the tyre can take a load of up to 500KG (84) and that the tyres are rated up to 167MPH (W)! Mine are 86V (530KG/149MPH). I think the C standard is 'V' rated so u might be able to save urself a few quid in tyres with the lower rating :) The ratings are fairly easy to look up from Google.... Thanks for all your help Si

Thanks for the advice, I was thinking about trying Toyo's anyway - Don't suppose you have any idea if tyre pressure should be different with different suspension? What tyre load rating should I be looking for (current tyres are 86 which seems a little low)?

They do seem to be wearing fairly evenly so I don't think there's a balancing/tracking issue - The wheels are slightly cambered in , but I don't know if that'll make any difference... Defo think I'll try something different this time around!

I've only done about 4k which is why I'm concerned about the rate of wear! Most of the time I don't drive the car that hard, but tend to have a bit of fun at some point in every journey! :wink:
