Hello Chris. Thats a good mileage covered in your rado :) welcome & glad you took the leap to join

Hello & welcome :) There is plenty of info on all topics corrado here - happy reading!!

Thanks for the continued efforts Jim & Rog thank you from all of us for assisting with its progression :)

Hi paddy i know it is not from a motorsport manufacturer but i have had a titanium with 5 small round 24 carat gold insert ring for over 10 yrs & it was made to order by a UK company I have found the company using the hall mark & they are http://www.ti2titanium.com/ I understand you wanted a VW / audi car part for your friend to modify for you but thought it might be worth a look if you can not find one though......having looked at the site they seem much more expensive than they were back around year 2000 :s

& i appreciate the warm bum heated seats on these cold mornings!! hopefully my VR will be well again soon & back to being peachy

Ahhh this thread has cheered me up this morning & some classic quotes to boot :D Thanks everyone!

Dead link Ian :(

Im sorry to laugh at your pain guys but this thread made me smile!! Plus it makes me thankful my gf has a healthy degree of common sense......& drives a VR6 ;) lol

nice :)

Yeehaa - now thats some miles done Mr Bacon! :)

Nice Jim, not long till the big 200 then :) Just out of interest, jim / jon, how many miles have you done in them yourself? I brought my VR on about 94k so im around the 55 K driving miles

Daily VR for me too - just passed 150 K Girlfriends Storm is a daily also & thats about 120 K ish

Mmmmm nice!! :D

many of us on here like to help kev & there is quite a learning curve :) what did the garage flush it with? IIRC im sure ive read that the VR block doesnt like coolant flushes due to some very small channels which are designed to move coolant round the block effectively, which some flushes can end up blocking

is this a typo......or auto correct at its worst LOL

Kev - whilst your engine is running & the coolant temp rises your fans should kick in at 3 separate stages once temp surpasses 95 ish degrees there will be a thread on here which states what temps each stage kicks in if the garage only tested fan operation by putting power direct to them it could point to faulty coolant temp sensors as this would explain why when the engine runs the temp goes out of control the garage can easily test this by watching the fans as the engine is running & the coolant temp is rising i think the fan over run is controlled by another separate sensor but im not 100% sure

Good point Jim - kevin, sounds like something is amiss as surely if the fans are 'working perfectly' they should be kicking in at all 3 stages [if vr6] to bring the coolant temp down :s it might help others with offering advice if you state your engine model too kevin :)

intrigue is now even greater! hope you get some wifi soon jim ;)

Result!!! thats great news stone :D

cant wait to see how this pans out!

Pictures say a thousand words ;) lol if the hole is extremely small could a good super glue act as a temporary fix

Thanks Anna, sounds brilliant.......though i have to say i nearly chocked on my water when i saw the price of the early sunroof motor!!!!!!

Hello m8 Is this on your rado? Do you mean the cable has disconnected from the throttle pedal itself? If yes i would imagine as long as there is a sturdy connection reinstated between the 2 you might be ok as a temp fix. I hope the aussie recovery service hurries :)
