Wyning when cold

[al'svr6]

Hey All ,
Not sure if any1 can help , but my vr seems to wyne for the first 3 or 4 min till warm does any have any idea why ?

Mine does this too, I think its the power steering pump. Doesn't seem to be an issue as its always done it and still works fine?

[Mrk_Mickey]

Are there any noticeable changes in the car's driving?

I read the title and thought you were talking about my wife...

I've noticed the same with my VR. I have also noticed if I warm her up for 3 mins or so there is a better performance and better throttle response when the car is warm.

when it's cold the car is just craptacular in acceleration

The curse of hydraulic lifters when cold, noisy buggers

could be your tensioner...my mums car used 2 whine until i changed the tensioner.

Was that a VR6 stu?

[Golf Houso]

VR6 doesn't have a timing belt and no tensioner pulley, my GL though had that problem, could be the auxilliary belt on the VR6 though.

Mine also runs like crap when its cold, but then again its just running like crap in general atm

I think mine may be the bearing in the PS pump. Seems fine once it's warmed up and no other noises afterwards even at full lock so I guess it's ok?

Thanks

Thanks All, for the responses , i did clean the engine bay a few days ago with degreaser so could also be a good silicon spray to lube up some parts but thanks all for help,
drive safe.

The accesory belt has a tensioner tho but im unsure if its a common failure. If ur really that concerned take the belt off and start the motor up and see if that noise is there. If its gone then u can narrow it down from there.
