The Twin! VR6 No.2

[mb1907953]

I'm not so concerned about firmness, more about how harsh they are (going over those bloody UQ speedbumps hey ben! Especially when I'm late for something) and the bounciness (if thats a word). I hate the feeling of a 'cheap' ride I guess. Part of that is tightening things around the car to reduce rattles as well I guess.

Heatercore will be a bitch of a job to be done after mid-sems but should be having the chip socket soldered in and the chip installed by Gavin (h100vw) . It's all waiting ready to go just need the soldering done!

Also new front tyres, exhaust leak somewhere and RPM sensor all lined up to be fixed.

All coming together huh. I'm surprised how well my cheap annono brand coilovers ride, I had koni yellows and eibachs in the golf which could be wound super stiff, but apart from that they were hardly worlds apart. I haven't felt these ones low though they're at a bit of a grown up height atm.

Sure is What brand did you buy for the volksborghini?? Adjustable suspension just like the 550 mate. They're practically the same car!

Anyone had a fiddle with the radio power on mk3s? I know in the mk5 if I turn off the ignition the radio plays until I take the key out. And then I can turn the radio on with the key completely out and it runs for like 45 minutes or something.

Just wondering if the same can be done on a VR6? You have to have the ignition on to have the radio on in my car! So you can't just sit there and listen to music without draining your battery on everything else that turns on with the ignition. Any ideas? Is it a Vagcom thing?

our gl will run the radio with ignition turned off but key in

Same for me too

Must be my wiring then

Yep sounds like it has 12v constant and only 12v from terminal 15 ( ign) as your secondary. The secondary for the VR should be red with brown trace from memory which is s contact for that.

Cheers jimmy. I suspect it's something to do with my aftermarket alarm/ remote central locking that's spliced into the ignition wiring... Will have to pull it apart and try and figure out where everything goes.

My old GL had this same setup for the stereo, turned out both the accessory and battery wires were wired into the battery as opposed to the ignition and battery as should be.
The VR stereo will run until the key is removed also

Fairing ordered on Friday. Waiting on sensor and chip this week along with new front tyres and a look at an exhaust leak. Heatercore on the weekend maybe!
