  1. cheers. still quite weird though. should i top it up with water? can it escape naturally or just when there are problems?
  2. I lifted the hood today when cold and noticed the coolant was below min. After driving for 30 mins the coolant was back to max!! why? should i top up with water soon or is this normal. Does this indicate a head gasket prob or something?
  3. thanks - i guess it's a fault warning, but yeah - without the manual i'm a bit stuck
  4. hi my vr6 has the toad Ai606 total alarm. when i arm it it chirps 5 times instead of 2. this is annoying my nieghbours.. why is this and how can i fix it? cheers
  5. Just bought a vr6!!! very tidy car - done all checks ect, 92k £4500. but when i got home, mayo under oil cap. Wiped it away and has since not re-appeared. Does this mean head gasket hell! or just a blip? If needs gasket - should i do timing chain whilst there as there is sometimes rattle? Whats the rough costs? cheers people
  6. just saw a nice vr6. problem is there was a constant whine/whistle from the engine that worried me. What should it sound like? Also there was a lot of air noice when the breke pedal was pushed. He had the timing chain changed and said he skimmed the engine while he was there? i am thinking maybe the head gasket went and he's fibbing? any thoughts help!!!
  7. thanks. might buy it then! engine noise worrys me though. are vr6's very noisey normally? i am worried as i heard they are expensive to maintain although i love the power! should i go for a 2.0? or are they the same maintianance?
