I've had both. G60 every time :D

I use Castrol TAF-X. It's made for VW gearboxes, it isn't cheap though!

:lol: The G60 :lol:

Definately a mk3, definately a VR6. I am assuming it is a similar spec to a UK Highline too as it is a late model with air-con and leather so it should have the better engine management too. I have heared of lots of highlines giving 190bhp. I will phone later about it, was hoping to sort a part exchange but if he only deals in standard cars..................................................................... Cheers, Rob.

As some of you may know, I have been thinking of selling my G60 and buying something more practical for a while now. Volkswizard are selling an S reg South African import VR6 with 39k for £7400. Has anyone had any dealings with this company in the past or heared anything about them. Also, what's the deal with an import such as this? Should the price be lower or does the rarity make it worth more? Thanks in advance, Rob.

The most straightforward swop is finding one from a mk2 Golf G60 , this is what I have done but they are very rare and can cost a fortune. They drop in fairly easilly though. As for the best, I'm sure some of the more technically minded members will be able to help you there. What ever you do I think you really need to open up the bumper to allow more airflow or you are just wasting time and money. Cheers, Rob

When I removed mine the car felt slightly more responsive. I refitted the gauze filter and the rubber elbow afterwards with new jubilee clips but still managed to blow the gauze out during a gearchange! I liked the blow off sound but couldn't live with the other noises and the oil mist everywhere due to the lack of a catchtank. I have since refitted the return pipes but when this mod is properly sorted I think I will be trying it again.

Darren, Have you got anywhere with the kits to remove the return pipe but keep noise levels down yet?

Just a lot of funny noises I found! I didn't notice any performance gains so I refitted everything after about a week.

I used blue hylomar (spelling?) gasket sealant, worked fine. HTH, Rob.

I forgot the Autometer boost gauge, LOL. Oh well, I might have to keep it after all then, there's no way I would let it go for a stupidly low price anyway, I'm not that desperate to sell it. I think I might put it up for a strong price and wait for the right buyer to come along. The only problem is, the longer I own it, the more I will mod it! Cheers guys, Rob.

206cc Tigra New Mini, although I like 'em Z3

2 Grand! I've spent double that on the mods! The trouble with people in Wedmore is they have too much money so can afford to let their cars go for stupidly low prices, ba*%$&ds! Rob.

Anyone?

I am seriously considering selling my G60 as I really need something bigger but am not sure how much it is worth, has anyone got an idea? It is a 92 facelifted G60 in Green Pearl with 92000 miles on the clock and a full service history (VW & TSR) The bodywork is standard and in very good condition and the grey interior is also standard and is mint. Mods include the following, 16" Speedline Comp 2 motorsport wheels with 215x40x16 tyres 68mm pulley SNS stage 5 chip Porsche 944 fuel pressure regulator Jabbasport stage 4 charger K&N filter Golf G60 front mount intercooler with U bend Supersprint cat bypass Magnex stainless exhaust with oval tailpipe B&M quickshift Castrol TAF-X gearbox oil Koni coilovers New genuine topmounts front & rear Full Powerflex bush kit Goodridge brake hoses Tarox G88 front discs Pagid fast road pads front & rear AP Racing dot 5.1 brake fluid New rear wheel bearings Focal front components Infinity Basslink Stinger wiring New 'GB' numberplates Thanks in advance, Rob.

I'm getting my Goodyear F1's fitted on Friday and also a 4 wheel alignment done. My question is, I have the car set quite low on Koni coilovers. What are the best suspension geometry settings? Should I just get them to set it up as VW reccomend or are there any better settings for handeling, grip etc? Ideally I want to keep it set for good tyre wear too. Thanks in advance, Rob.

I just wondered how the people who have done this mod are getting on with it? I have since refitted the boost return having got tired of cleaning oil from the rocker cover and the underside of the bonnet everyday and the bloody noise drove me mad too. I will probably wait and see what Bilal and Darren come up with, I know both have things in the pipeline. Cheers, Rob.

I was wondering if these are a good idea or not? I used to have a Schrick 268 fitted in my G60 and was pleased with that but have been offered one of the above for a good price but can't seem to find out any info on them. Cheers, Rob.

I think I remember seeimg a guide with pics on mateymatey.com

I dont know how you do it but you wont regret filling it with Castrol TAFX.

I thought 14.5 was the max psi as the ISV vents anything above this?

One for me please John. I have sent PM. Cheers, Rob.

Thanks for the advice guys. The one I was offered is now on Ebay. Cheers, Rob.

I assume the filter and hose will fit without problem but I am not too sure about the heatshield part, does anyone know if they are the same size/shape? Thanks in advance, Rob.

Darren, I forgot to ask for the 5% discount on the ISV pipe! Just kidding :D Good luck, Rob.
