Google ;) Use the search on here, I'm sure it's been covered before - or there are very good sites in Canada and Germany as well.

You can still adjust the cable change linkage - it's done using a screw on the tower at the shift lever end and one at the gearbox end. If your gearbox was ever out for a clutch change or other work it may have gone out of alignment in the past. Or, worst case, your shift fork in the gearbox has worn. Try the free stuff first, then the oil change, then take a look at the gearbox itself. VWs from that era are notorious for poor shifting anyway. Just my two cents.

Right, this is what I think you need per side: 3 x N 10657201 - oval head panel screw 6,3x16 3 x 443821699 - plastic clip for screw to screw into and 5 x N 01396921 - oval head panel screw 4,8x16 5 x N0116653 - washer 5,3x15x1,6 You can probably just get away with the first two line items. Get your dealer to show you the parts diagram to make sure they have the right ones.
-
Have you changed your gearbox oil recently and adjusted the linkage? There's a special tool for centering it but it can also be done by feel. A quick Google will find instructions.

If it's on the move there should be more than enough air getting to the radiator. When sitting in traffic it's down to the cooling system and the fans. One slat more or less won't make a huge difference.
-
If you can talk to the ECU and get an error code back there is not likely to be anything wrong with it. It's not like it's a Pentium or anything. Check all the engine sensors that feed into the ECU for continuity and signal. Just my opinion. The Motronic ECU uses crank, cam, inlet temp, lambda, MAF and coolant temp (all I can remember for now) to make its decisions. Might also be worth getting your fuel pressure tested and checking for any air leaks. Oh and there's a throttle position sensor too.
-
Fuel pressure regulator is worth a try.
-
Probably worth addressing any general issues with the cooling system before butchering the grille! Check out the "definitive VR6 cooling" thread on here. What issues are you trying to address?
-
Are you putting on a new liner? Be aware that the hole will have widened with age and you'd be better of using a slightly larger self tapping one.
-
They are just standard self tapping. I'll check the part# when I get a chance.
-
You'll get from the dealer. Pretty standard item. They have a washer attached and new ones will be gold/brass in colour. Or is it the wheel arch screws you are looking for?
-
What exhaust, no one has a definate answer......
fendervg replied to Mrbaldhead's topic in Drivetrain
Original VAG exhaust or Milltek resonated would be my choice. Unless you work on your engine you won't see any real power gains, just more noise and drone. Are you running any engine mods? -
Are you using the plastic or the metal version of the spark plug tool?
-
I went for Bremi and had no problems - they make the VAG OEM leads.
-
Don't do it! They are way too much fun.
-
The Halfrauds pro hollow sockets are great though. I use an 11mm to bleed the brakes without having to touch the drain hose and you have ratchet control! [emoji2]
-
I cut out the red LED on one of my new replacement switches and removed that part of the wiring so now it only illuminates the green one. More "OEM stealth"
-
@goldie - mats arrived safely and well packaged two days ago, apologies for not letting you know earlier. All is good - many thanks.
-
Headlight on the driver's side out is a definite help. Use some pen oil first as well as they will likely have been there a long time and a deep or even better a hollow socket. Best of luck.

When you think the new Scirocco is just a tarted up Golf [emoji2]

sold VR6 lower inlet and fuel rail with FPR
fendervg replied to Purple Tom's topic in Parts for Sale
I'd take the rail and FPR if you can do it that way. If not, no worries. Thanks. -
This gets better and better....

sold VR6 lower inlet and fuel rail with FPR
fendervg replied to Purple Tom's topic in Parts for Sale
Will you sell the rail on its own? Is it off a Golf or a Corrado and what bar is the FPR and do you have the mounting screws and injector clips with it? Thanks. -
No worries. Think I have one located over here in Ireland. I'll let you know if I need the micro switch. BTW you can still buy the LHS new! About 150 euros. Typical.
-
When you lose track of how much it has cost you since you bought it, and don't mind paying ridiculous running costs and road tax every year. And you have a turned eye from checking to see if your spoiler goes up and down as it should every time... ;)
