Okay, got a 1995 VR6 GTI Heater Core went boom, all gone. Niello VW in Sacramento has it now, and is charging me $325 to replace both hoses dealing with the...
To the best of my knowledge this is a recall issue and you should not have to pay for any of it, though I understand most people have had to slap VWoA around...
Thanks for the reply, $800+ seems kinda excessive to me. Nathan <etherwolf@...> wrote:To the best of my knowledge this is a recall issue and you should...
I just got the call from VWofA, and they are going to cover the costs 100%!! I am just awestruck...renewed my faith in VW all over again. Brian Brian...
Heh, $800 is actually rather cheap from what I've heard. Granted, replacing it involves tearing the dash out completely and other fun stuff, but some dealers...

hi, group. I've searched around the archives and the web for issues related to my problem and there seems to be different fixes for the same symptom, anyways...
when you mean your injectors were cleaned; what do you mean? Did you actually remove them from the car and have them serviced? Often older injectors will...
My car does the same thing, if it sits for a long period (usually overnight or longer) it takes more cranking and is a little sluggish for a few seconds after...
My 1995 VR6 has a hard time starting after its warmed up, I can sit there for a good 8 seconds before it starts up. My start-ups when its cold appears to be...
See, that problem sounds more like leaky injectors to me. Cheers, Jim '93 SLC Brian Sez: My 1995 VR6 has a hard time starting after its warmed up, I can sit...
I wouldn't doubt it, its got 130,000+ miles on driven hard engine. Now to tackle those injectors, after I get it back from VW this week to have my failed...
With todays gas prices, I think I may stick with a 1.8T GTI or Jetta. Anyone have comments on the 1.8T's, even though this is a VR6 group? "Simpson, Chuck"...
1.8T's are great little engines with plenty of power out of the box. An aftermarket chip will work wonders and produce a healthy increase in torque and hp for...
Good points to look for in the 1.8's, thanks alot. As far as my VR6, well I chipped it, it has 268 degree neuspeed cams, with a K&N Konical air filter, on a...
My old chipped '97 GTI VR6 always got at least 300 miles to a tank (14.5 gal). I did not baby it, but I did drive the majority of my trip to work on a highway...
Wow, that's pretty low. I have the same setup minus the cams on my '96 GLX and get around 27-30mpg at 9000 feet when I'm not rattling the exhaust hangers....
if your only getting 16mpg, your car has issues.....most likely your O2 sensor. I have a corrado tranny in my gti, w/ a tdi 5th gear, cams, blah, blah,...

Our VR6 ran quite hot until we replaced the items you describe which now has her running quite low on the gauge. The idiot light has been quite idiotic, it...

Put in the proper thermostat. The system is not designed to run without one. The thermostat ensures the flow goes through the radiator. Without one it can go...

Kelly has a good point there that I didn't think of. Perhaps we could suggest getting a low temp thermostat, along with a low temp fan switch? Kelly McMullen -...
