  1. Hi. I've just had my rad replaced so I have the old one if you're interested. It is the original rad and has no faults or leaks. It has been on the car for 101k miles. Are you after the elbow? I also have a new, unused aftermarket thermostat housing - I'm just after what I paid for it.

    PM me if your interested and I'm happy to send photos etc.

  2. Hi Ron,

    Here's some questions!

    The upper and lower manifold are coming off and I wanted to replace the bolts with stainless. Are they 8x30 cap bolts and do I need 17 to do upper and lower manifolds?

     

    Second. I've had a go at polishing the manifold. I'm not too happy with the finish between the six ports. If I were to paint this, I assume I'd need a heat-proof paint?

     

    Third. I've got hold of the gaskets for the upper and lower manifold. Are there any others I need? Is it the throttle body that connects to the upper manifold? Can't remember? Do you know if there's another gasket needed?

     

    Cheers in advance

  3. This is the other part that works on my late VR6. There's a smaller connector for the Inlet Air Temperature sensor - normally this is screwed into the passenger side of the upper inlet manifold, but here it gets very hot due to engine temperature being conducted in through its metal case. Moving it lets the ECU measure inlet air temp more accurately, and as colder air is more dense it will add more fuel and slightly increase horsepower.

    Your stock IAT sensor has the same plug, so you can just unplug it and extend the two wires. Or leave it as it is and just use the MAF portion!

     

    Have a look at the photos for condition.

     

    £60 + £7 post or happy to combine with the elbow. [ATTACH=CONFIG]83147[/ATTACH]

     

    Can send more images.


  4. This part replaces the fragile elbow that sits above the MAF. It's in really good condition. I bought it not so long ago and was going to fit it but aesthetically it's not working for me so I just need to move it on!

    The metal has a blueish/grey paint finish and that's the way it came to me. If you want further detail then this is similar. http://www.ngpracing.com/newstore/42-draft-designs-mk3-vw-gti-jetta-vr6-passat-b3-b4-vr6-corrado-vr6-intake-pipe.html You'll not be paying hefty import tax etc.

     

    Price is £60 + £7 postage. I also has an ally MAF up for sale and I'm happy to combine postage.
