storm81 0 Posted July 27, 2006 Hi guys, looking for recomendations on plugs and leads for a vr6, genuine leads are pricey and tbh arent worth the extra imo, quantum leads arent badly prices but they do not have the slots apparently for the removal tool, considering beru leads and plugs, thoughts on these and if someone could confirm that they have the slots for the removal tool, also how noisey should the water pump be? it can clearly be heard from outside the car and sounds a bit like the heater fan running, thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vr6storm 0 Posted July 27, 2006 plug lead wise..............depends on yer budget i had the quantum VR6 set on mine without any probs in 2yrs and only switched to better quality ones for my Schrick due to a mate getting a damn good deal on them and what water pump is noisy???............the electric aux. one above the g/box or the engine mounted one?

storm81 0 Posted July 27, 2006 the electric pump, sure quantum would be fine but they dont have the ears for the removal tool making removal slightly awkward without damaging the leads Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vr6storm 0 Posted July 27, 2006 the electric pump, sure quantum would be fine but they dont have the ears for the removal tool making removal slightly awkward without damaging the leads the ones i had were fine.......no probs extracting them with the metal tool as for yer aux.pump.........should be near enough silent,they normally leak when they are fubar'd,have you checked the top of the g/box for signs of leakage???,as i'm pretty sure they also rely on the coolant to lubricate them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
storm81 0 Posted July 27, 2006 Well it is possible that at one time the leads did have the ears but both myself and vw have checked the leads quantum currently do and they definately dont have the ears for the removal tool, no sign of a leak and water doesnt appear to be going down, will look into a replacement pump then Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oxfordpaul 0 Posted July 28, 2006 Mine was really noisy too and would sometimes stop but start again if I tapped it so I got a new one Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
