graham1971 10 Posted July 26, 2014 Hi guys, just bought my Mrs a blue 1994 VR6 auto as a 40th birthday present as we both love them. Already changed the coil pack which made a big difference immediately, now just need to fix the sunroof, heater blower switch, get some new interior trim, wheels and paint it and it'll be all ready to be sunny Swansea's finest new (old) VR! Help! What have I done?:bonk: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leon263 0 Posted July 26, 2014 Simply upload your photos to an image hosting site such as Photobucket. Once you've done that, copy the img. code of the photo/ photos and paste the code/ codes into your post. When viewed, the img. code will appear as a photo. Hope this helps.

Harrier 1 Posted July 26, 2014 Am I alone in thinking that's a bit harsh ! Glad to hear you and the missus have got a new toy . As they say those that play together stay together . I doubt very much it was meant to be 'harsh', Its just a saying used on here from time to time as we all like to see pictures. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
delfinis38 1 Posted July 26, 2014 Am I alone in thinking that's a bit harsh ! Glad to hear you and the missus have got a new toy . As they say those that play together stay together . Really not harsh as harrier said it's a saying that gets repeated time and time again on here... We love pictures of new members cars..... We love to take an interest... See that you are relatively new too .... Maybe we could have some pictures of your motor ?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe I'm a bit old fashioned when it comes to the nuances of language " worthless " is not a word I would of used . No matter .

Roger Chatfield 0 Posted July 27, 2014 Nice one, welcome to the forum, loads of good folk on here and a real hive of information. What wrong with the sunroof? If it tilts but won't open then a second hand replacement motor from a mk3 golf should sort it. (Well it did in my case). Rog. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
graham1971 10 Posted July 27, 2014 One of the guide rails is apparently snapped I've heard you can replace it with a glass one from a passat. Anyone know what year and model of passat would be appropriate? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
graham1971 10 Posted July 27, 2014 If that's worked then my thread is no longer "worthless" Yaay! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
graham1971 10 Posted July 27, 2014 Ive already sorted the bolster wear with some black shoe polish, looks brand new! Rear seats look pretty good, scratches and rust will be sorted when it goes to paint. Those were the sellers pictures on ebay, in fairness he gave a pretty honest description, maybe a little too honest for some! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

graham1971 10 Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) Its moonlight blue pearlescent which doesnt really show up in the pictures. Ive posted the gear shifter surround picture elsewhere but to me it looks wrong, should I have an economy/sport switch on a 1994 VR6?

graham1971 10 Posted July 28, 2014 Just bought a set of BBS RS from VW Classic Parts, the center caps have been discontinued, anyone know where I can find a good set or even a part number of something else that will fit? Part number 1H0 601 149 G AEV Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
graham1971 10 Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) the fun begins.... First piccie is one of my dogs admiring the mysterious crop circle in the garden then my Arch, Roof and Sunroof after the repair, then pictures of the same before. Dent Master on Ebenezer Street in Swansea did all four dents for £80, had to get the worst out because she's going for some new paint on Thursday.

graham1971 10 Posted July 29, 2014 Pics of the new wheels asap mate :) Will do but I can't seem to find the centre caps, I'm told they're on the list of obsoleted parts you just can't get anymore, if so Mrs P may actually kill me! Part number is 1H0 601 149 G AEV any ideas? Anyone? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clumpy1 11 Posted July 29, 2014 Ebay here you go http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-BBS-Center-Caps-70-6mm-Carbon-RS-RM-RX-NEW-/400628376032?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&hash=item5d474fe1e0 There are others too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
graham1971 10 Posted July 30, 2014 When I said center caps I should have been more specific. They're a three piece item, a center, a hex nut and a disc on the outside that covers the recess containing the wheel nuts entirely, more like a three piece hub cap for an alloy wheel in effect. I just paid $175 to a firm in the Ukraine who claim to have oem in stock. Couldn't find them ANYWHERE else. Watching the news has taken on a little less humanitarian feeling for at least until my parts can get here! How awful is that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
