charly_vrsexy 0 Posted July 1, 2009 Hi all, as you know,or may not. I recently bought a vr that had been stood up for some time and ive not got it back on the road( have a look at the thread if you want), however as it has been stood up im really concerned that something will go wrong, as things ineveitably do. as a new vr owner what should be the vital things that i should just change or clean replace bla bla bla just so its running sweet. Anything I should know or if you have any great ideas for the engine that would be appreciated. I just want to get it as mint as.not that many around this area and i want to keep it running for as long as. the car has done 140k -scary bit is i have no service history for the last 9 years. everything was vw til 2000 then car went sorn in 05. Suggestions please.... :norty: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIPVW 0 Posted July 2, 2009 Hi There, Nice to see another one being saved! I'd strongly recomend the clutch & timing chains doing, not cheap but can be catastrophic if it goes wrong if you dont do it. :( Also maybe all fluids including coolant, power steering, and definately Brake fluid. New plugs too would'nt be a bad idea. This will all cost a small fortune but will bring a little piece of mind :wink: Good luck with it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charly_vrsexy 0 Posted July 2, 2009 thanks for your thoughts, yeh i reckon the chains would be a good idea, not something i plan to break! Reckon its in the pipeline, yeh these cars are too special to just kill off,seems people would rather leave them at the side of their house forgotten bout tho!!
