Wanting to buy a MK3 VR6

[danwatto]

Hi all. This one above sounds good. My drivers window is also broken. It might be as easy as getting new runners, $100 or so off eBay. But if its the plastic cog bit that's not as easy, wrecker's would be the go as vw used the same motor in a lot of their cars for many years. Vw want $750 ish for a new motor as they don't sell the weak plastic cog alone. I bought mine with only 71000 on it. Its a 1996 but I have had a few elec problems which suck. Just drive them, you will know when you find a good one, after all, having problems with a 2nd car is all part of the fun. Oh, and every thing is for sale for the right price. Ha ha. Happy shopping.

haha,
yeah my rear windows don't work on my current VR6 and i'll be needing to fix them very soon. My mechanic thinks they need new regulators? but who knows, all i know is that it wouldn't be cheap to fix.

Thanks for the reply danwatto

Yeah, one of my rear had broken too but I was able to use a cable tie to hold it as it jumped off the cable runner. It might be easy as that. If it can't be fixed with a cable tie its not worth fixing! Ha ha

Mk3s clock back over to 0 at 300,000 anyway! wonder how many people that has fooled.

Everyone is getting a bit off topic though. Lets find this man a car! His last mk3 was awesome so I wanna see what he'll do with a new blank canvas.

So what was your last creation ?

New window regs are not expensive - takes about an hour to fit. Have a chat to Tooley Imports (NSW) or Canberra VW (ACT)

Ah I understand what you mean now! I think I confused him with brookefromhamilton (I think that's the username)? He had a black mk3 in NZ there's been some pics on here was awesome. They both started posting on here looking for vr6s so I think I got them confused.... my bad.
