ok but how do i drain it in the first place? there must be something i have to undo im guessing!! should i turn the power steering when it is dry to make sure the pump is empty? will just 1 litre be enough to fill it back up again?

oi.... oh by the way vr6storm, i have seen a set of storm alloys with new michelin pilots for £250, sounded good to me.

ok i now have 1x bottle of VAG fluid... how do i go about draining the system and re-filling with out causing air locks??? can you give some instructions and pics if possible.... im planning on doing a bit of self servicing this weekend thanks in advance

its nt really a pain. can be quite usefull if your in traffic and its only drizzling.......i guess. double post removed-vr6storm

the intermittent wiper is actually more cleaver than that!!! you can set the time yourself. read your hand book it tells you how

the are pretty much the same length but where it clips to the arm is in a different place so it makes the blade sit in a different position. if you just use the drivers blade it gets close to the roof, the passenger blade leaves about an inch or so. Mine needed new blades anyway so i thought i may aswell just upgrade... its not that much anyway.

ok i ordered yesterday about 11am and i fitted them today about 1pm...now thats serivce!!! i took some pics and a video incase anyone is still pondering whether to do this mod or not stop thinking DO IT :D follow the link. Lupo GTI wiper conversion - Pics and Vids

so its not the actualy VAG stuff............but will it actually do any damage. Dad (who has worked on cars his whole life) says that he uses it in all power steering units and it has worked fine.

My dad said that its just the same as automatic gear box fluid but i wanted to check first. i just want to top it up about a centimeter... cheers

dont like those stickers on the side...

i just ordered mine with the following: V6X2 998 406 (you need 2 of these) V1J2 955 425 A (you need one of these) mione was £53 inc VAT and they will be available tomorrow

well i can now confirm i prefer the VR6 over the CRX. even with a standard set up on the vr6 it handles almost as good as my modified CRX.

Just ordered my wiper blades over the phone. £53 inc VAT. he said they should be in tomorrow, which is nice. :D

anyone got a crowbar??? :D dont worry, theres a good shop in cambs actually where i know alot of the guys, the sell loads of car audio stuff so they should know!

it has 80k on it which is (according to many on this forum) when the chain noise starts?? i just wondered to be honest cause i dont know what it should sound like. it yours pretty noisey then? (sorry wasnt rubbing it in)

Just bought my VR6... how noisy should the timing chain be?? I didnt really notice it on the test drive but after spending the weekend in the car (not literally, i got out when i had to pee :D ) you can hear it quite faintly from inside the car when your driving along. Its not to noisy, but you can hear it a little. is this normal or is it in need of the tensioner thing doing?? thanks

plans are to give it a damn good wash, polish and clean inside at the weekend. I'll take it to my dads work and spend the whole day on it in the workshop giving it a good vallet. Then im doing the simple things like Lupo wipers (going to VW today actually to order those) and then the headlight upgrade from H100W (or what ever the screen name is) Then i want to put the speedo back to the original colours. I think the cream dials in there at the moment are not original and maybe this is why the speedo is reading incorrectly??? maybe the replacement has the numbers in a slightly different position??? (just a guess) Then i want to put some Storm wheels onto it. The 6 spoke BBS wheels and lower the car using Koni or FK coilovers. Then if i have any money left i'll put a different exhaust on it. Maybe a nice oval Magnex one or such like. (my friend with a VR6 corrado just put a lovely Magnex on and the whole system was only about £300) Then just a case of keeping it minty fresh :D

i couldnt see those clips on it... this one has a electric tilting display to allow the cd to be put in (if that makes any difference???)

Hi, just bought my VR and it has this alpine cd head unit. I want to put my Sony MD unit in but cant work out how to get the alpine out??? i checked the alpine website which no longer lists this model. do any of you guys have this one or similar and can help me?? thanks

well im now 20 and i have just bought and insured full comp my 1995 VR6. not bad for a youngster hey! :D

cheers. yeah it was a good deal AFAIK. needs a bit of TLC to make it really nice but the body work is in great nic. interior needs a bit of time spent on it.

yeah i noticed the badge actually. I'll maybe de-badge the rear at some point though. It needed a bloody good clean clean though. Im going to be cleaning the leather and carpets today i hope!! (if i get time, i'll prob be too busy driving it :D)

i just tried the 3 second thing and all it did was set the alarm off (which is pretty quiet compared to my last clifford allarm!)

this is on the standar alloys... it seems miles out though. maybe i should get it checked?

Hurrah, as some may have heard i picked my VR6 up today after a few months of reserching them. I took these pics literally as i got back home from coventry so she looks a bit dirty (dont worry shes clean now, but it was too dark to take more pics my then... i'll do some more tomorrow though) Storm Green, Cream Leather, A/C, 80k miles, s/s exhaust (which i dont like but it will do for now) Now looking like a storm (1/12/03)
