VR6 ARB fitmant query please
« on: 26 April 2013, 19:25 »
So guys, I think I want to help the front end along by fitting a VR6 arb,
Mines a mk3 golf 1.9 tdi on an S plate
Who knows what I'll need to get this happening without any hiccups. $
Cheers

(Also don't know wether to go used or brand new)

Fitting a rear one is more important then the front.  Or get front and rear fitted but not just the front. If you

don't know what you are doing get someone who does :cool:

Cheers mate. Mines an esrtate so its gna start to get tricky for the rear. I thought I'd approach the front first.
What's hapning is, some of my out of shape front components are being replaced by my good man joel at the grove autobody in manchester,
While he's at it, as a final thought I said why not do the arb too.

Hoping this is a good idea

Anyinput from the mk3 boys on here would be v-helpfull.
What u rek mate?

Surely it can't be easy,
Nothing ever is

(Really just wondering what parts are needed before I start pestering joel again)

Vr6 is a plus axle so it won't fit.

Hope I don't sound like a mong, but what does a plus axle mean?

Dear do that for what might be unnesessary
Thanks fo the heads up. I had't got that far with the plan yet.
And as has been said here, it'll get even more costly with alterations either side!
