Hi all - I know these are expensive from VAG, but does anyone have the correct part numbers for a set of ignition leads for an early VR6 with dizzy, including the small lead from the coil to the distributor? I've looked at the catalogue, but it only seems to show a set for later cars with coilpacks, with the other leads being listed individually. Cheers

There's a special tool - it's like an open socket - search for lambda/02 removal tool.

Any DIY shop will have clear polythene sheeting for painting etc.
-
No worries - glad to be of help and hope it works out for you.

Beat me to it, Jim!

Both are the same. It's a terminal extraction tool you need - VW use two sizes for most of their connectors. VW will also sell you repair wires with the blade terminal on them.
-
Here you go. It's Top BROWN WHITE YELLOW GREY Bottom The connectors are available from the dealers or from ARZ Tuning in Germany.
-
Are you trying to source new connectors or do you just want to see the wiring to the OEM ones?
-
You can get ones that fit the later cars - check out my member's thread to see how it looks.

It's in the wiki - VR6 ECU reset procedure under Engine.

I replaced my belt and the whole tensioner unit with VAG replacements - sourced from Germany, so a bit cheaper. It's not worth taking the risk, as Kev says, it's not only the bearings that go over time, but the springs in the tensioner as well.
-
Mine stayed on without ignition and ran down the battery - replacing the rad switch solved it.
-
Other thing to check is the fan switch in the radiator itself.
-
Also check the engine and gearbox mounts as these can lead to sloppy shifting if worn. Just had mine replaced and made a huge difference. There is a special tool from VAG for aligning the gearshift lever, but most mechanics do it by feel. - I have one, so if anyone in Ireland wants to use it, PM me.
-
Check to see if the callipers move freely on their two mounts with the pads removed - there are two bushings in there, and they should slide easily. Rear brake pad sets often come with a tube of grease for this very purpose. It's a known issue with VW callipers.
-
The German dealer fit Gamma IVs had green illumination and look really OEM. Still available on German fleabay.
-
Are these for a late car? I would be interested if they are.

I used Redline MT-90 in mine - check out page 3 of my member's thread for a quick how-to http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?t=55703&page=3&highlight=shark

Looks like a rare find - best of luck with it.

Part#078133534C fuel pressure regulator costs €50.98 for a Bosch one here. I paid around that for a VAG one.
-
Try replacing the fuel pressure regulator on the front of the injector rail. That did it on mine.
-
Did you get a chance to check the postage on this? Cheers.

AFAIK the last time I tired it with a headlight switch it will give you a darker green. You can get caps in electronics stores online, look for LED covers or LED "condoms" -;)
-
Sometimes you can put coloured bulb caps on them. Some of the early radios I've seen had screw in bulbs, others had them soldered on. Or you could just by a second hand VW Gamma IV tape deck with CD changer control - came on the cars in Germany and has green illumination on the earlier models. That's what I have in mine, with an ipod adapter going to the CD changer control. Works pretty well and looks OEM.
