Vr6

[stevend01]

Hey Guys,

My mate is looking at buying a vr6. couple of things we would both like to know..

Hp?
0-100km/h time?
top speed?

and most of all the reliability. Do they have many issues with reliability because the idea of having a 2.8L v6 in a golf is awesome but dont have alot of money to keep fixing it if it breaking down all the time.

Thanks Steve

0-100 is 7.2 for manual and a lot higher for auto
top speed is 226kmh
128kw

The cars are over 10 years old now, and will take a considerable amount of money to bring up to scratch unless the owner has maintained the car, i.e only an enthusiast or someone anal about the mechanical condition of their cars. Plus your looking at around 10-12k for a car like that, fork out another 3-4 and you can get a mkIV GTI, imo a much better car.

well they definitly got some go.

Anyone know about the reliability of them?

please explain... not that it effects me


Given the choice, for me it's my current Mk3 VR6 or an upgrade to a Mk4 R32.

It's a shame about the crappy mainland laws, as this statement is very true!! Mk3s are getting quite old now - I've been interested in buying another one to do up (had 3 already!), but they're all very loose and tired to drive now compared to Mk4s and I've been put off with the many I've tried out.

I had a mint one some years ago (still the best example I've come across in terms of condition), but it found its way into a pole and turned into a teepee

Cheap ones have lots of little stuff that will be broken and probably some major ones.

There is a thread on here somewhere. Buying guide to Mk3 VR6 or something. Maybe use the search feature.
