New Vr6

[cicca_294]

Hey lads,

so just pcked up my new car last night, a 1998 VR6.
after back and fourth with these cars, i finally had enough money to buy one.

its green, 150000km, fabric interior and virtually stock standard.
to be quiet honest, i am absolutely in love with the thing.
the way it sounds when you give it a bootful is unbelievable.
(photos will be up tonight)

atm, there seems to be no issues with the abs, and the chains are quiet as, which makes me happy.
but, the air con seems not to get cool enough, and the rear right window needs a push down to get it working.any tips for these issues?

apart from that, its perfect.
thanks for reading.

Congrats on the purchase mate.

Air-con may just need a re-gas but more often than not, the compressor needs to be rebuilt/replaced. Best to get an expert opinion on it. Lucky for you summer has just passed!

The power window regulators on the Mk3s are notorious for screwing up. The weakpoints (wheels that guide the cable) are made of plastic and are prone to breaking. The rear right power window regulator on my car has been replaced no less than 3 times over the course of my ownership, and judging from what you're experiencing, yours may be goin' out soon. Fortunately their not that expensive, nor hard to DIY.

cheers mate, really pleased with it

and about the aircon, i was playing with it just now, and if i put on it hot, it works wonders,
and on cold its cold, but just not cold enough,
it tries, but doesnt suceed hah
what prices am i looking at for the aircon regas/or rebuilt?

and yeh about the windows, i just dont think ill bother fixing them,
that is, if the aircon begins working.

Ohhh - another VR6, excellent.
Hehe - i laugh because i just got the aircon re-gassed and the back window fixed in mine! Cost me about $200 in total...
I hope you enjoy it, they are a wonderful little car
