Talk 16v or vr6 owners opinions etc etc

Chains are only expensive if your paying someone else to fit them and the vr engine is pretty simple to work on.

Most people will have to pay to sort the chains as it is a complex job, VR engine is far from simple to work on tbh.

maybe jamo is just a better mechanic than you wayne

Most days lol? Well ive had mine a year and never had any issues with understeer in the wet or dry. You go into any corner in the wet in any gti to quick your gonna get it though. Understeer is the fault of the driver more than the car under normal driving conditions. However, on a track, on its limits - a 16v would be the better choice.

Ahh...so it's my driving?
My Mk3 doesn't understeer...
Nor does my Mk5...
Or my Mk6.
So how come they don't understeer with me driving, but a VR6 does?

Funny...all the reviews at the time commented on the VR6 understeering...maybe you have a very special VR6...you sure it's actually a VR6?

Didn't say that...and yes it is. Just saying I don't encounter understeer in it under normal driving. Its nothing special, is fully poly bushed at the front, has ap coilovers and runs on 15" corrado speedlines with 205/50 conti sports. I wouldn't say i boot it everywhere as I want to look afer it because it not a rot box but do like to open it up a bit on the country roads although never to its limits. Obviously, with the heavier engine at the front, its more likely to understeer if pushed to hard into a corner just like all cars fwd cars do. Its just another thing you have to take into account and compensate for. Doesn't mean its going to straight on at every corner. The drivers still in charge of how the car behaves. Anyway since the op has ditched both options and got him self a 2.0 Mk4 this thread is done i think.
