Ignition Fuelling Compression Timing The above is what's needed for an engine to run (if it has all 4 it should run, it might not run very well but it should run). When you have a non start you need to find what you have and what's missing and go from there. The time to test for the above is when the engine wont start

An ignition misfire tends to be quite violent, unburnt fuel in the hot exhaust will ignite and back fire. Fuelling misfires tends to be softer, more gentle, but if its massively over fuelling the petrol will also ignite in the hot exhaust. Check for a spark at the plugs when it wont start, I'd compression test the engine to confirm all's well with it before spending on ignition and fueling parts

When you try to start when hot does the engine crank over but fail to start or does it fail to crank full stop?

Teething problems are similar to a snagging list, small problems to over come to make things as they should be or as you want them to be.

VR should be late, however these cars are 20 years old and who knows what's been fitted since they left the factory? Looking at the side of the front bumper at the swage line near the top edge, early bumpers turn towards the wheel arch, late continue straight and peter out to nothing

I wouldn't put my face near that battery if its getting hot, its not unknown for them to exploded spraying battery acid everywhere, eye protection is a must and I'd drape something over the battery when working on it with the bonnet open

Why not compare the costs of boring and honing a 2.8 block and using your 2.9 pistons with a hone only one of your blocks?
-
Why not just take both blocks to the engineering co and ask them to check both blocks and hone the best? In another thread Kevin Bacon said VR blocks have to be honed in a certain way to prevent oil burning so it may be advisable to seek out someone who knows these engines?

If you just want a rough guide cut a length of soft alloy (so as not to mark the bores) to length with sharpened ends (like a pencil) and gently rounded tips.

No mate, its quite flimsy and I've got nothing big enough to package it with, I have a rear bumper too free to collector

Corrado G60 brand new dealer items brake calipers painted red - SOLD
Dox replied to sparks's topic in Parts for Sale
They'll also fit VR6s (including early mk3 Golfs / ventos with 280mm disks) -
You'll need to state whether you need a slam for a 4 cylinder car or a vr6 and with the dash you need to say whether its an early or late car.

I had similar with a respray on a MK3 VR6, I ended up using a scraper (the type that holds a Stanley knife blade) and it came off like ice on a frosty morning http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vehicle-Car-Application-House-Office-Window-Cleaning-Scraper-Tinting-Film-Knife-/291190247311?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item43cc4a8f8f

Is that the correct orientation of the relays? I thought mine (from memory) was 79 on the left, 179 middle and 179 right? When mines working (mostly when the engine bay is warm! restarting after 5 miles or so) they do click, they fail to click when the light stays on the dash.

If you fill the front and rear tow hooks wont you need to cut off the hooks themselves? If so how can you go back?

If its cellulose paint you may be able to remove the top coats with cellulose paint thinners on rags. What are your plans with the bumpers? :)
