[MK4_20VT]

I nearly bought a Highline, but with most of the VR6's I checked out I found these faults

1. The sills had rust in (all at the same place) & the rear arches were starting to go on some.

2. The leccy window motor on work for a few weeks when hit??!!??

3. Cylinder No1 tends leak oil (so i'm told)

But I spoke to 1 owner who had a Highline for sale, that worked at VW & said they had never swapped a cam chain, as they don't tend to go on the later ones.

I belive the early VR's had a cam chain prob with the tensioner going.

Keeping my MK2 now
