its got rust showing in the usual plces but had a respray within a year and a half.

i thinks it may be rotten.

also since when has a VR6 managed 38mpg  :shocked:  i chould learn to like the heavy old boat anchors if they gave that sort of economy.  onse i've met stuggel to see 28mpg
all the VW's have gone bar 1.

Im sorry but if you can throw the kind of money he 'supposedly' has... you can afford to fix it, surely?

Good point, you dont throw thousands of pounds at a car to then sell it when the head gasket goes.

Nasty horrible engine the VR6.  Weak as a ripe banana.
Ours destroyed itself when a cam belt tensioner failed.

I think it's a mindset problem. "Head gasket's on the way out, but Halfords have a discount on alloys this week... I better get down to Halfords ASAP."

Surely learning the hard way would be to make him save his pocket money to pay to get the car fixed. Not try and sell it for a stupid amount of money and buy another car. Im guessing he gets a saxo next.

Still that bodykit must be doing a great job to get those sorts of mpg figures. Time to chav my one up and save a fortune at the pumps.
