How hard are the front grill vr6 badges to find?! Thanks to easypops for the heads for renewart on facebook, he made this badge to order which looks spot on, can't wait to get it on the car

Help wanted - VR6 issue with topping up coolant after popping a jubilee clip
maff replied to g0ldf1ng3r's topic in Engine Bay
Fingers crossed nothing's pressuring your coolant system and popping that hose off but sounds like an air lock to me though the hose popping off is weird, isn't the expansion tank designed to let coolant out the top if there's too much pressure? If you've had a rebuild at stealth I'd give him a call or just drop it into him, they'll sort it -
Pm'd

Yep, sept 92 was the changeover period, (I think) for red to chrome vr6 badges front and rear and also distributor to coilpack and interior changes etc, there were plenty of crossover cars with late interior with distributors etc
-
I've got a stainless 6 branch manifold going on pretty soon, do the these get any gains, my downpipe was blowing so for a bit extra I thought why not
-
Yeah might grab a bmc if I can, they're not cheap new thought! Anyone got a used kicking around?
-
After having the bmc I'm leaning towards a K&N in standard airbox, remember it being slightly louder than a paper but nowhere near as loud as a bmc!
-
Cheers Jim, but why do you swap?
-
What's everyone using in there standard airbox? Not heard good things about the bmc, (had one on my old vr and sounded awesome) but just looking at replacing if there are any gains to be had? Funny the m3 was only happy with its standard paper filter but remember the vr6 liking a K&N or equivalent in there?
-
Ice grey violet and storm grey, followed by Aqua blue for me:-)
-
Yeah I've got some plugs coming, with filter and oil also, sounds like I might need some leads then as cheap ones were never a good shout on a vr, I remember my plugs used to last 20,000 miles on my first vr6 before I got a lumpy tick over, it's a dangerous game as I'm spending again like I did on the m3
-
Really miss my m3, definatly an event when you turn the key but must keep thinking that I've sold it to save for a mortgage otherwise I'll buy another! Get one, you won't regret it

When did you last do the rocker gasket Sean? I found a crank shaft seal in the box of bits as well, hoping it's not that, but then there's oil around the top of the engine so gotta be gasket? And yeah it's a good solid car, got the plastic vent dash surround bit coming as well as that's snapped which looks terrible, just want the car to feel nice when I sit in it, I'll get there. I think the high Rev thing might be either plugs or leads, it feels like the Sparks fading out at high rpm? Saying that I couldn't get past it in our 325d so it can't be that bad! It's definatly gonna get some love, watch this space, ps how do you get the smilies on your posts? I've gone advanced but I don't get any?
-
Thanks for the heads up on the badge:-)

Hi all, It's nice to be back and it's not long since i picked up an aqua blue vr6 and while it needs a bit of work, the main thing is it's not rotten and it's had its chains done. First off it has a rocker gasket leak which is being sorted tomorrow, also the down pipe is blowing. Luckily I've got an old pal who has a few corrado bits kicking around so tomorrow I'm picking up a full grey heated leather interior with door cards, stainless wrapped six branch manifold, a rear number plate tub, chrome front and rear vw badges, and a few other bits, can't wait! Also ordered a set of AP coilovers which will be fitted asap. Just sold my e46 m3 which I'm really missing but I need to save for a mortgage so the corrado can be a slow burner project, also bought a golf mk5 gt tdi which has nice heated seats for the kid ferry duties. I'll update when I've fitted the leather and other bits, here's the car for now and a pic of the elusive vr6 chrome grill badge I've got coming from renewart, well recommended, lovely Spanish chap Photo of the vr And that badge! Leather, is grey hated as much as it is on m3 cutters? I quite like the grey..
-
Alu brushed:-) I'll pm you thanks
-
Thanks again
-
Lol no worries, thanks for the fb lead, I've messaged him so fingers crossed:-)
-

Two's being greedy! Sell me the one on the right!!
