  1. Think I might have one sourced - but I will keep it in mind. Cheers.
  2. The part number I'm looking for is 535837402A
  3. Thanks - if you can get the part number I'll check it out.
  4. Looking for a driver's side electric window mechanism in known good working order, if anyone can help. Can do PayPal and postage would be to Dublin, Ireland. Cheers.
  5. Too good an opportunity to pass up at that price - ordered a pair today. Many thanks for all the leg work on this.
  6. Is this the plastic bit that the screw screws into? If so, they are available from the dealers for pennies, and are used in quite a few other places.
  7. Go for the Conti. Never had any issues with the one on mine.

    Rear VW Badge

    I managed to get one on German eBay - and the securing clips from VW Heritage. Many thanks for the offer though.

    Rear VW Badge

    Thanks - I may be able to source a new one - so will hold off for now
  10. Check your fuel pressure regulator on the front of the injector rail - I had nasty starting issues until I replaced mine, and it's not an expensive part.

    Rear VW Badge

    Someone nicked the chrome rear badge off my VR6 - does anyone have one spare?
  12. Ok - will clean and test the ISV. It idles at around 1000 RPM for a while from cold and then settles down to 640. Is that normal?
  13. Are you thinking of bringing some in from the States? I could be interested.
  14. I've looked into this - the third brake light will ONLY fit the US spec tail gates. There is no recess for it on the UK models. A few people have fitted an OEM one by cutting a section out of the tailgate and fitting a bracket. There are also other non OEM options that are less intrusive. I've got a third brake light sitting around in the hope that I get round to this sometime.
  15. Not really to my taste, but as I was getting my VR6 washed noticed this one tucked away behind a wall - I think it's a 16V, but nor really sure.
  16. Hi all - my car tends to idle high on cold after start up and sometimes I get the dreaded needle dropping when coming to a stop. Could this be a problem with the idle stabilization valve? I've checked for vacuum leaks and all the piping appears to be sound. I don't want to invest in an ISV unless I have to as they are quite pricey. Thanks.

    Gamma head unit

    Don't know - I always got a code with them

    Gamma head unit

    Any of the ones I had from Germany always came with the code. There is a way of deriving the code from the serial number as well, or a dealer can unlock it.

    Gamma head unit

    I have one that lights up green - slightly earlier model of the Gamma IV. You can get them both on German ebay quite easily - they come up often.
  20. Second that. All I've ever used in my VR and no problems.
  21. Do you have an uprated headlight loom fitted?
  22. The crack pipe is a plastic tube that runs from the water pump housing in the block on the left hand side to the thermostat housing. They can give out after 20 odd years or so.
