Hi iv noticed tonight that my near side dipped beam had gone so changed bulb and that didn't solve and old bulb was fine anyway and worked in other side , took connector off and it has 12v for side and full beam but no power for dipped beam , anyone expierienced this , its standard loom not uprated Many thanks James

Can see ur point , it's had some good work done to it since then , I know who owned it then and before me and between me and previous owner we have put it back to how it should deliver

Respray was done last year mate , I'm happy with that I was hoping to get 2400 for it ---------- Post added at 1:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 1:55 PM ---------- How come u didn't buy it at the time matey

Hi guys here's me corrado vr6 As I bought it but have had engine out done chains , headgasket, crack pipe , all thermostat casings, and clutch whilst it was out made sense Thanks to u helpful lot who steered me right when needing advice on putting lump back in Here's what I had before my rado Before After Needed house deposit so she had to go broke my bleddy heart I tell ya Anyhow that's bit bout me guys James

Anyone know where this wire goes cant see anywhere obvious

hi sorry to revive an old thread but the link no longer works to show how to do the vcds output tests , anyone know how to do this at all

hi mate that was awesome thanks very moooch

Hi guys had engine out to do head and chains , most makes sense where all goes but been few weeks now since having parts off and can't remember what these 2 do , any help be most appreciated , racked me brains loads can't think at all Cheers guys James

Thanks for ur help bud , shame on ur head yeah we do these silly things , hopefully putting engine back in Sunday so il know if alls ok soon lol

How did it ruin ur head bud wat caused it to do that

Hi guys got timing all sorted on vr6 head and chain replacement , now the guide I read on vortex says older style tensioner like one that came in my kit , to bleed all the way back , now I'm concerned first time ya turn it over that way that there affectively could be no tension and completely mess up the timing , It says also that some put bit of oil on to give it some oil on initial start , what did u guys do , earring in mind mines the early style tensioner one without the spring

the cams are lined up and the top chain seems to fit fine, have the cams locked off etc aswell , i got to the point the other night where i'd just bout given up and i just thought id ask u guys and clear my head and try again on monday , id rather it be spot on, the theory of the chains is such a simple task only problem is it seems to be wherever the chain links fall is where it is if you get what i mean, ill have a play either morra or tuesday and see what i can come up with,will keep u updated either way ---------- Post added at 12:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 AM ---------- http://www.agthompsonfamily.com/vw/TimingChain20.jpg if u see in this pic from vw vortex guide his is off whilst taking all chains off
