j0nnyb0y 0 Posted April 22, 2011 Guten Tag. have just been given access to a servicing bay with pit and tools and stuff and would like to do more of my own work and save some pennies. Yesterday after changing my fuel filter spark plugs and door handles my VR6 thanked me by loosing power, crunching into 1st gear and giving out a nice little rattle from the clutch release bearings and i limped the 3 miles home. Any advice out there? For five years i've been fixing this car, will i ever have enough to spend on cosmetic surgery rather than A+E?!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MK1Campaign 0 Posted April 22, 2011 Not really got any clutch advice but I would recommend changing the timing chains and tensioners if the box is coming off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
