2.9 VR6 in MK2 Advice

[dabill]

only other thing i would say is price up the parts for your 16 pal, you can get 180bhp from the valver if you really wanted to, then gas it up on nos and you'll be flying pal. even better, its also fairly common to turbo a valver and then your ttalking mega power. but if you want a quick fix...like foreign prozzies... get the vr6, the noise will make you cream your pants...like a foreign prozzie....but without the std's!

The only main thing with a VR as mentioned is after over 100k they can, but not neccaserily be rattely this is due to the cams being chain driven and wear in this chain/tensioner it is best to get the clutch done at same time as it`s a gearbox off job price for jot lot around £800,but as allready mentioned the noise from a Vr is awesome I have a drilled out airbox with standard filter in mine and you can literally feel the noise as well as hear it,it is also very very smooth to drive but stick it in 3rd at 60 and plant you foot down..I get average around 31mpg in our mk3 steady away 60mph you get over 35mpg so not bad if you dont cane it all the time.but mine is the 2.8 not 2.9Rado engine...I use this site as well www.vr6oc.com very good site for tech info..
