Hairyarse 10 Posted January 15, 2015 Nice buy Andy, look forward to seeing it. Next meet, it'll be there ;) Sorry to be a tight ass and not buy another shifter but pennies are tight and I'm an impatient bugger! lol It only took about 20 mins tops to take it out of the valver as the tunnel was already cut, will fit it to the VR in the morning ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hairyarse 10 Posted January 16, 2015 Got the short shift in to the VR this morning, so nice to have it back! Washed the dirt off the lower flanks too whilst cleaning the white one. Drove it, listened to it and dreamed of BMC CDA :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cdem 0 Posted January 16, 2015 Probably not any time soon :-( I think the next rado will be a g60 or vr6....probably a vr! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iceviolet 0 Posted January 16, 2015 Got the short shift in to the VR this morning, so nice to have it back! Washed the dirt off the lower flanks too whilst cleaning the white one. Drove it, listened to it and dreamed of BMC CDA :) Have you had it up above the 3.5k rev range yet? That's where the vr6 is at it's happiest!! I had a gruppe M induction kit on it at one point and that was a very nice roar! But I think the standard airbox works the best, keeps all that hot air away from the intake.

seanl82 23 Posted January 16, 2015 When I bought my car it had half of the bottom of the airbox missing! It sounded great, but for obvious reasons I didn't want it to stay that way. I replaced it with a good standard airbox and I was honestly underwhelmed by the noise, and it felt much more flat too. I've replaced it again but this time with a BMC, and it sounds just like the hacked one, but obviously a lot safer! BMC all the way! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A couple of times Sam ;) Not had too much chance to actually. It does really come alive then though doesn't it! I remember fitting a cheap induction kit to my old MK3 Golf VR6. Sounded great but as you say, with the hot air it made performance 'stuffy' so it came off after a day or two! From memory the BMC kit has a fresh air feed so doesn't have that problem. I've been looking around and can't see a BMC CDA kit for the C available anywhere now. Does the MK3 Golf VR6 one fit ok anyone know? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hairyarse 10 Posted January 16, 2015 nice mate!! :thumbleft: Oh and I did a scan today, it came up with one code, 00513 Engine speed sensor G28 – Idle RPM too low/too high or signal malfunction. Done a search on here and it appears that this is normal with the engine off so happy days, nothing to fix!! Didn't expect there to be but it was worth checking ;) Here's the thread I found - http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?t=87418&highlight=Engine+speed+sensor+G28 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
