    VR6 OIL

    dr mat where can I get this from? The oil changes dont cost me nothing as he does it at work and dont charge for a thing, believe me even managers take the p*ss at dealerships,

    VR6 OIL

    Twickenham VW, It might sound daft, but doing them regular might save me a lot of money in the future, I know I got a clean engine and it sure is improving the reliability of the engine, which cant be a bad thing now can it?

    VR6 OIL

    I have spoken to my mate thats work in a very well known VW dealership, these guys were one of only 2 dealerships that had the first R32 Golf in for sale, so they are big, and he says 0-40, 5-40 are only good for cars like Porsche, Ferrari, Lambo, etc etc, Golfs, Corrado's including VR's, G60's are best to use one grade all year round, he has advised me to use 10/40 Castrol Magnatec, for which he uses in his MK1 Golf 2000cc 16 Valve, which is one of the fastest on the roads, The best way to maintain the engine is regular oil and filter changes, I know it might sound too much, but I do a oil change every 1000 miles, and filter every 6000 miles, my mileage during the year is just under 6K, Hope this info helps guys.
  9. I know the golf MK 2 16 Valve has a timing belt and chain, is this the same for the corrado engine? This refers to the 2 Litre engine and not the 1.8 Corrado.

    Corrado TT engine

    Is it poss, or has it been done to put in a Audi TT engine into a Rado 16 Valve motor, original 2000 cc on a 93 L? Have heard just need a new ECU and uprated brakes, but other than that its a straight swap, wots the verdict guys?
  11. Works now and then regardless of how much petrol is in there, used VAG COM just now but nothing has come up, could I be suspecting Fuel Pump Sender Unit? ne info guys? I have tried cleaning out the connectors to the sender unit, but still the same :(

    VAG COM

    just purchased this and got it all loaded on my laptop, but where is the diagnostic socket, got my neighbours L (93) C 2.0 16Valve, and mine VR6 M (94), are they both in the same places or diff? help would be most appriecated.
  14. cheers mate, I was a bit dubious about letting the car run for too long, dont think the VR6 was meant to idle for that long period of time, I always make a habit of racing after it hits 80 deg on oil mfa, is that enuff or shold it be higher?
