hi all, been a member for a while but never posted..(i dont think) so please go easy on me lol.
I am going up the line (i live in cornwall) on friday to look at a corrado vr6, ive had rados in the past but never a vr and my main concern is engine, i know what to look for elsewhere
the car has covered 160k which is fine by me but i am aware that parts for these motors can cost, my main concern is the chain, ive done a search on here and found very mixed opinions, the car has vw service history up untill 130k and i asked if and when the chain was last done i was told that the chain was "checked" and tensioners done at 127k, surely if they were doing tensioners they would have done the chain?
im going to do the chain when i get back, if i get the car, so i geuss i shouldnt really be worrying, is 160k high for these motors? ive had plenty of vws in my time and many of them have gone way past that with no problems but for some reason im extra paranoid about getting a vr lol
apart from that is there anything particular i should be looking/listening for? apart from the obvious front end accident damage on the legs
many thanks in advance
