Title: just bought vr6 and have some questions.
Post by: shorty_jkt on 27 August 2006, 15:34

hey guys just bought my vr6 highline last night and its a really nice car but i have a few qs..

when i came to start it this morning it didnt start very well but on the 2nd turn it started then idled a bit rough/high for a bit then settled down after a few secs or so... is this normal? once i ran the car around the block for 30 secs it ran fine.

the central lockign doesnt work, is this a common fault ifso is there a common cure lol?

the drivers seat doesnt lean forward properly something to do with the cable.

the steering wheel tilts a few mm up or down even when locked in place, feels like the rack/column needs to be tightened up or something..
??? i can feel it in the clutch too when i move the steering wheel.

one more thing. the abs light doesnt come on. doh forgot to check it last night. damn i could have haggled a bit more. is this just because of the sensors? or is there some more serious problems some times? when i put it in for mot will they deffo check this? oh and how do i know if i have abs? i shud think it would as it has aircon, heated leather, trip computer etc.

any help will be greatly appreciated.
thanks
john

Hi John,
Good choice of car :cool:

Can only help on a few of your questions...

Perhaps check the plugs and leads firstly, that may be the cause of the starting issue.

The ABS light should come on for a few seconds when you start the car and then go off, if it's not on at all then it's possibly a faulty cable(common problem)

Have a look over on VR6OC.com, you'll find plenty of specific VR6 information there.
