We present the results of high resolution VLBI observations at 1.6 and 4.9GHz of the radio-loud Seyfert galaxy, Mrk 6. These observations are able todetect a compact radio core in this galaxy for the first time. The core has aninverted spectral index ($\alpha^{1.6}_{4.9}$=+1.0$\pm$0.2) and a brightnesstemperature of $1\times10^8$ K. Three distinct radio components which resemblejet elements and/or hot spots, are also detected. The position angles of theseelongated jet elements point, not only to a curved jet in Mrk 6, but alsotowards a connection between the AGN and the kpc-scale radio lobes/bubbles inthis galaxy. Firmer constraints on the star formation rate provided by newHerschel observations (SFR $<0.8$ M$_\sun$ yr$^{-1}$) make the starburst-windpowered bubble scenario implausible. From plasma speeds obtained via priorChandra X-ray observations, and ram pressure balance arguments for the ISM andradio bubbles, the north-south bubbles are expected to take $7.5\times10^6$ yrto form, and the east-west bubbles $1.4\times10^6$ yr. We suggest that the jetaxis has changed at least once in Mrk 6 within the last $\approx10^7$ yr. Acomparison of the nuclear radio-loudness of Mrk 6 and a small sample of Seyfertgalaxies with a subset of low-luminosity FRI radio galaxies reveals a continuumin radio properties.
