New Parts for the VR6

[rayray086]

Oh that's SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET. Calling you tomorrow.

And now some parts are in:

Everything, including the new leads (and spark plugs you can't see):


New part in radiator hose:


and best yet, the water bottle:

[The_Hawk]

And do you think I needed new plugs? They were stupidly tight in there too.

[The_Hawk]

I'm getting impatient... I never expected these parts to get here so quickly, now I just want the coilovers and strut brace...

The down side of course is that I have to go back to work soon, which means less time to play

Thats awesome. I think i'll be paying that site a visit when I get paid soon... front window regulators for precaution, K&N air filter and some bushings...

Anyone considering a Sydney group buy?

[rayray086]

I'd probably be in for some more parts. Let us know!

[Golf Houso]

when I get paid (2 weeks), and figure out whats making that massive squeaking noise in my suspension (suspension bushings?), I'll post a group-buy thread, the window regulators were 50 bucks... I almost died when i saw those.

Thanks Mr Hawk for the good call on this mob!

stay tuned vww for the mk3 group buy pwah!

Yeah a few spare regulators won't hurt aye.

The only complaint i have had (and it's a minor issue) the oil filters I received are Mahle NOT Hengst (as pictured on the website). Mahle is still miles ahead of a generic and is still a nice German part so I'm still happy.

Otherwise they have been fantastic, contact and delivery has been perfect.

Been looking through the catalog of bits and I don't know that there is anything else I need at the moment... but I'm sitll looking

[Golf Houso]

Yeah man... My dub sense is telling me the front two gonna go soon, and I'm not getting ripped off 360 bucks again by my mechanic...

Yeah keep looking through it, you've got around 2-3 weeks before I make a thread and contact them for a quote. And I suggest anyone else interested (WINDOW REGULATORS PEOPLE $55 US EACH!!!) does the same

(WINDOW REGULATORS PEOPLE $55 US EACH!!!)

Are you sure they are $55, I looked and they were around $95
The manual ones are around $55

The REARS are US$56.40, the fonts are ~US$95.56/96.80 (different for left/right)

Oh right... still cheap though... my mechanic charged me 220 for the rear right for the part... what a rip...

I wouldn't say it was a rip, just that things in Australia are much more expensive than in the States or the UK where there is a much bigger [dedicated] market for these sort of parts.

Hmnnn good point. I'd still like to see if i can save a few hundred bucks and learn how to fix windows while I'm at it
