hi all. has been hapening for a while now and cant seam to get my head around it. i no the vr uses a high pressure coolant system anyway but myn keeps dumping alot of coolant out the header tank. iv tried bleeding the system several times with no real issues and the heater works consistantly (hot/cold). it seams after every tank of petrol it will need the expansion tank topping up as the warning lamp indicator flashes. no water on oil cap or dipstick so not really sure where to go next. anybody have any clues. thanks :bonk:

Hi all, need to refurb my rx's on the c and just wondered if anybody has any ideas on colour choices, i like the cades look of black center and matt black lip rather than painting then standard again. lip is going to have to be painted as i have some corrosion and the odd curb mark. wana get it done before run to the sun and the sunny weather gets here if it ever does. heres my car so you can see what colour scheme might look good cheers

i have a set ofrear lights that have been previously tinted red by can. look turd in my opinion up close. those look awesome. do you guys run standered bulbs in indicators or doyou get green bulbs or something

do you have a rear spoiler? thanks

that sounds good. any pics?

has anybody tried fitting carbon wrap. want to have a go at it but dont know what bits to do on the c. any pics of interior pieces done or exterior panels covered. want to do rear number plate trim and mabe more. :thumbleft:

i will be up for a set. dont get paid till end off the week tho. can u send me payment details. also can you send me the link to fitting guid if possible. thanks

found this kit on ebay and thought it looked like a decent price http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/REAR-BRAKE-DISC-KIT-NEW-VW-GTi-VR6-MK3-GOLF-CORRADO-PASSAT-/350542235683?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item519df20823 will be ordering it next week when i get paid so will let you no of quality cheers

thanks. yea thought they were abit out of the question. 16s are the safer route.

yea but you get those hd channels free (but she doesnt know that) :smug:

wow thats a massive bonus. il get onto that as soon as i convince the mrs we need hd again. f1 was never a winner in her eyes with me hogging the tv every other sunday. lol

hi all, been looking around and using the search but not seam to get what im after. i have come across some wheels from a seller on ebay and before i go jumping into anything i though il do some home work first. the wheels in question... dare rs. beleive they are bbs reps and are what im looking for. there are 2 sizes im looking at. 16 8j and 9j et 25/20 17 8.5j and 10j et30 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/16-8J-9J-BRAND-NEW-5x100-5x112-ET25-20-/300635035666?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&hash=item45ff3e9812 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/17-8-5J-10J-BRAND-NEW-5x100-5x112-ET30-/270911946222?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&hash=item3f139c3dee the question is how much work in arch and spacers will there be to fit either set. and is it wise going for 17s with a 10 inch wheel at the back. i have coilovers allready so height adjustment isnt a problem. my job is painter/repairer at a bodyshop so arch work isnt a problem, thanks for looking and any help will be apreciated. thanks again

this is good news. i also cancelled hd a while back before i knew f1 was to be only for hd and sports pack users. il have to try this thanks :dance:

well 13.5 meters later and i need to order more. didnt find it that bad. has taken 2 hours so far. is a tedious job but once you get into the swinge of it, it falls into place nicely. thanks again for another evenings work trevr6adict

thanks spent a few hours under there cleaning and tidying. the elbow was purchased originaly from ebay but believe you can get them from venom motorosport but couldnt find a link to actual buy page. http://www.bonrath.com/shop/product_info.php/info/p289_PR-17PRO--BONRATH-POWER-ROHR-VW-VR6-2-8-und-2-9-alle-MODELLE---.html http://www.venommotorsport.com/bonrath-power-rohrs.html ---------- Post added at 10:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 PM ---------- that would be the one :bonk:

had a big box given to me from the ex owner of my vr6 a few weeks back and finaly got around to fitting the alloy elbow that he had in there to replace the stock intake hose after the map sensor. shocked at how much noise differance it makes over the stock. hers my evenings work :cheers: thanks to trevr6adict for his help also

ok so after a few days to consider all this info iv decided im going to do this. for £50 quid a wheel its hard to say no. so anyway i was wondering what would be the best size to look at going for. they would have to be 16 inch wheels. and also would like the staggered look but intend on going on track days so need the best sizes to match the use. i am a car body painter by trade so if there are any isues with arch clearance im sure that i can sort it. shame to have to paint the sides again but if needs must :cheers:

thanks probaly similar to how il do mine. hoping to have a go today but still waiting for heat wrap. :bonk: taken a pic after giving it a little clean off

thanks for the link. look like some great engineers. yea allready have 16s so dont want to drop a size as she is sitting nicely at the min.

ideal thanks. well if it comes to it il get some more. thanks for the advise.

so these would need major moification to be made then fit 5x100

do you have any pics of you finished item. not really sure of were to start or how to finish. were the pipes joinis and continueing down with proper coverage is a concern for me

50mm wrap

what are they originaly from?

yea got as a package kit off ebay. didnt have a make. 13.5 meters and 13 200x4.6 steel ties.
