My new 97/98 Vr6 Golf in Burgandy 1 owner from new.

[Mystic storm]

As title recently purchased a golf vr6 has only had 1 owner from new and full vw service history (well til 2012 then local garage did the last 2 services). and full factory leather (not heated but curious to find out if seats have heater elements in them so I can get rest of wiring and switch and have heated leather....

Plans for it are to fit new stock suspension or maybe coilovers (these are creaking and knocking now).

Just ordered a ram air filter (I love the sound of these on the vr6 engine) maybe get a Remus catback exhaust.
Fix the heater matrix possibly, its been by[passed due to leaking in car slightly (I plugged it back in to check lol).
Fix rear electric windows and just ordered a central locking pump as old one had got water in it and burnt out :-(

Other than that as its a 97/98 model maybe looking into fitting arch trims like the earlier vr6s...

Here are some pics will get ones soon.

Yeah the full leather is a bonus for sure I am just trying to work out if it has the heater elements in them.....

[dylan8]

dont think any of our aussie leather fitted cars would.
door cards would suggest the leather was done here

[Mystic storm]

Yeah not looking good underneath all I can see is the seatbelt warning wire no relays etc :-(

Looks good! The 'VR6' logo in the grill looks like it needs to be shifted back over (it should just slide)

[rayray086]

Nice find, where was this listed??

[Mystic storm]

Perth gumtree :-) Now moved vr6 logo over!!

[Jon96]

nice! i love that colour!!

[Mystic storm]

Cheers, central locking now fixed just fitted new pump and worked straight away :-)

[MilkIsYum]

Nice work

[Mystic storm]

Cheers tucked it away whilst I save up for coilovers etc

Squeezed it in with some of the other toys lol

That's some 80s futuristic styling right there on the Renault.

Gotta get those black trim strips back to black man.
We have had many discussions as to what is the best way to do that. Personally heat gun works best. Others will say otherwise..

Where did you get the 5 from? Did you import it or someone else?

[Mystic storm]

Yeah was thinking about that with the trims don't like colour coded at all and I do want arch trims too...

The Renault 5 gt turbo was a personal import by previous owner and one of a handful in Australia :-)

Running just shy of 200bhp (just had rebuild) with full leather interior and engine bay like new with virtually chrome everything

[Mystic storm]

Decided to give the engine bay a quick detail still loads to do but its getting there!!

[stefcio007]

I remember when I cleaned out my engine bay for the first time. So much dirt probably got some good weight reduction, lol.

[Mystic storm]

Yeah wasn't too bad, although doubt its been cleaned since new I just wiped all the hoses down and inner wings, rest was pretty clean :-)

[Mystic storm]

Got my colour wrong its actually...

Well what a day today went out for a spin (well to get oil and service pack) got there all good coming back another story...!!

Low level oil warning lamp and buzzer came on pulled over checked and was on minimum oil, Luckily I had oil in the boot sorted that out and then literally 20 secs later car started to mis-fire was only 2 minutes away from home at this point got it into the garage and got under the hood to only find that the coilpack had cracked and lost a ht lead :-(

Now need coilpack and deffo need to do the rocker cover gasket leak!! suppose will have to take part of inlet manifold off so will need a gasket for that too :-( the joys of older cars!!

[Mystic storm]

Coil pack fitted full service done purrs like a kitten now :-)

[stefcio007]

Nice work.
