MAF?

My VR6 was similar. The fault was traced to a broken hotwire in the

MAF.
Replaced it and the car is sweet, although not as sweet as my BMW 325i.

Good luck!

Have just bought a VR6. It has 127k so was cheaper (I think) at £3300.

Had
to put a radio on it and a new alarm system as the old immobilsier had

been
bridged out.

I'm happy with the car, but I think it is misfiring at some point, it

sounds
a bit 'up and down' at higher revs. Any ideas, and where should I get

it
tuned etc?

Is there a Haynes manual for the car? I read a posting that said there

is
a
bush on the gear selection lever that can be replaced - it is

certainly
notchy on my car.

Cheers in advance for any info/ideas.

hose put on the car. Link? I'll get it sorted.

It was taken off and re-cored or that's what I seem to remember, just
a pain that it's a double one meaning more expense (added by VW I
suspect because I bet the prototype VR6's overheated during testing...
that's my one niggle that I thought with the engine bay that crammed
full it always ran "hot"?
