I didn't think the non-turbo was the 'modders choice', since the Turbo can be so much more tunable cheaply. I think its a bit expensive to tune-up the non-turbo. Is he a bit daft and has too much money? ;)

The VR6 is faster than the G60. (standard) So he is wrong, and I suspect he's wrong about the MR2 too. The 2litre non-turbo's are slooow.. Even a Stage-4'd and modded a bit G60 can be beaten by a near-standard VR6.

Flawed, since my driver's side isn't one-touch-up. They are both just one-touch-down. Different Cs seem to react differently. So you'd have to guess whether the switch you got actually would do it...

It's called a 'moonroof' since the Passat sunroof is glass, not metal - you can get some more light into your C.

Just a normal plug-removal-tool and an extension bar is fine. I got the HT lead set from http://www.eurocarparts.com - good quality and value if you just want normal leads. You can get better - but depends if you want to spend £50 or £150 ;)

Shouldn't the smaller ones be 1024 x 768? They're 1024 x 819 ;) Nice one m8. I will add links to them on the portal :)

I would suspect the voltage reading of a temp. sensor would be more accurate than a vacuum reading for the MPG.

Mine too. Lip spoiler hit twice yesterday too. :?

VR6's also have ever-so-slightly wider front wings too.

Surely that should be H12V PA.... ;)

Brian, I doubt very much you'll get out of it. If it's your first 3 points don't worry about it - most insurance companies don't care about 3 points for speeding as a lot of people have them. Any good insurance company will probably only shove £20 on just to be an arse. I have 6 points for speeding and my premiums rise by about 10% which isn't a great deal. Dragging the ordeal out after the incident has occured will just annoy the police and won't get you anywhere. Sadly, you need to be quick-thinking when it happens to get out of it - afterwards is normally too late. I have a Bel 550 Euro and my SatNav system gives me verbal warnings 20 seconds and 5 seconds before any fixed camera on record, which can be updated easily via the internet. So the SatNav gives me ample warning of a camera, then the Bel tells me if it's on or not. The Bel also does speed-traps, mini-Gatsos etc etc. 8) Just Vascar I can't detect - but this uses two white squares a certain distance apart on the road (about 100 metres or so) and the points are generally on a hill, so mostly spottable. And keep an eye out for 2 people in a unmarked, normally pretty clean, and normally pretty quick car. Once you start practising, you can spot unmarked plod a mile off.

Yeah, go Golf! I nearly went down the Golf route, so I'm with ya' m8. And I'd prefer the mods to have VWs, rather than French stuff.....

Fancy away... but it'd be illegal to actually do it to your car if you did!

The administration do not except any responsibility of loss of other halves due to the forum, etc etc :D

Mine is/was original and is only just being replaced - so it's managed 185k miles. 8)

Random non-cranking like that sounds like a dodgy key-barrel on the ignition. Common Corrado problem, but not too bad to fix. http://corrado.atx-hosting.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=748 will show you more info on the same subject.

I would keep looking on the garage-front. I'm sure you can find a place that will do it all - rather than you having to source this, them sending off that, etc. You just need a garage with an engineering mechanic - I know a couple down here (do Turbo conversions, etc etc) - I'm sure they would be more useful - as long as they know VWs. Sorry I can't be more specific, but don't know anywhere up 'north' like that :(

You can't beat the Milltek on the VR6. Substancially better welding and craftsmanship in comparison to Magnex, Scorpion, etc. John at PDM was telling me earlier about it - Milltek do proper welds with joins, whereas Magnex just roll the edges of the joins then seal - which apparently split and blow after a while. John could probably explain better. I was very impressed with the worksmanship on my system when we depacked it - which will be on by Saturday :) Milltek have paused production on the VR6 system for at least 2 months. They had to specially do a run for mine! 8) All depends on how much noise you want your system to make. Was amusing with my car running next to John's and Ant's G60s with their louder exhausts - couldn't even hear my engine running! :oops:

One of those things I haven't got round to either. My passenger side has this rattly clunk, and my driver's side lock/unlock pin thingy doesn't work and has become detacted. So thats both doors apart one boring afternoon. Might get round to it in 2005.

Yeah, that means a rubber thingy at the bottom of the window has popped out. It's apparently a right b&^%& to put back - so just live with it ;)

There's no need to use the Quick Reply then edit - you can use the "Post Reply" at the bottom of the page - then you can write your message and attach pictures all at the same time. And you need to be logged in in order for pictures to show - so that may be why you can't see them sometimes. If it says "Logout [username]" at the top, then you're logged in, else its a "Login" button.

More likely snagged. If it had snapped, it wouldn't be stiff.

aka 'Zoff'

On a non-VR6, you get oil on the cam belt and knock the timing out, potentially damaging your engine? Ah, good ol' VR6 cam-chains..
