could you send me an email with your address

The same as you, it is a 260 deg cam. Also having a fast road cam stops all the problems with rough idle due to large valve over lap which you get with the 276 and 294 deg i'll email you the cost of postage just got to pop down the post office

Sounds good does anyone have the pitstop cooler fitted and the Aquamist Water Injection Systems.

what cam have you bought i've got the piper fast road one i am really pls with it

yes at the moment i am running the standard intercooler but i have been tempted by pitstops intercoolers

and that jabba one looks really good wonder if there will be a group bye?

Had the same problem with mine it was the hall sensor in the dissy quite a common fault when they get old.

Hi i got mine from http://www.needforspeed.co.uk/pages/sbv ... Type=VER01 for 93 pounds. But i will sell it to you for 50 pounds plus postage. It has only covered 500mile decided not put it back after engine rebuild for insurance purposes. pm me if you are intrested

Finally got my corrado g60 back on the road after about a year of problems. Just wondered if anyone could give us a rough idea of the BHP.

The Spec

pitstop stage 4 charger with 68mm pulley

Boost return pipe blanked off

Ported and polished head

Complete block rebuild

Piper camshaft

Mocal oil cooler

SNS chip

Mocal Catch tank

Custom Power Flow Exhaust plus decat pipe

Jabba Sport induction filter and panel

vernier pulley

Gsf filter are ok never had any problems with them they are identical to main dealer ones i have fitted both and also have the oil valve in them to keep oil up in your engine when its not running

sound like pinking possibly igniton timing or timing chain

Yes if the engine is not running these to fault code would be present

00540 Knock sensor II (G 66)

00513 Engine Speed Sensor (G68) Impossible signal / No signal

If you start up the engine the fault code should go from a present fault to a non present fault. If you clear the codes they should not reappear again whilst the engine is running. The fuel rump relay fault I am not sure about I would expect a open circuit fault code recorded if the immobiliser was the cause. If the car is running sweet I would not worry to much just clear the code and recheck in a weeks time to see if any of them return

:)

Thanks for your help supercharged

Hi has anyone got a picture of the camshaft timing marks on a PG engine just want to double check mine, since i fitted my new engine.

Thanks for you help henny

Hi wondered if anyone could help. I want to order some new number plates for my corrado. Does any one have any info on how you find out where your car was made. My chassi number is WVWZZZ50ZMK009677 :?:

Torque settings PG

Small end bearing caps 65nm with lock tight

Big end bearing caps 30nm + 90° times 2 with lock tight

Crank pulley *80nm with lock tight

sounds like it could be waterpump or there is a plate behind the cambelt on the block that has a big oring sealing it that could be leaking.

Could possibly be the cat is blocked what can happen is that ball like shape of honey cone sits at the bottom of the cat and when you drive the vehicle and increase the rpm the ball get blow to the end of the cat partcally blocks it causeing lots of exhaust gasses to get stuck in the mainifold thus making the mainfold glow. As the engine pumps more and more gases into the confines area, in the end the engine will stall due to the engine get choked. Just a thought come accross this quite a lot over the years i've worked on cars.

Just wanted to thank Gavin H100VW for selling his crank that was kicking around his garage. Great price and its already arrived top bloke. :D

cheers for your help lads. I havent got aound to removing the head yet but i expect there to be some bent valves. Luckly i am a mechanic so i'll be able to do the work myself still its going to be expensive. H100 i've emailed you i am intrested.

Hi ya I was diving along the other day and my engine cut out. After getting the car home I found that my crank pulley had come off and sheered the bolt in side the crank. What i wanted to know is the crank on a g60 the same as a normal 8v injection engine or is it reinforces and does anyone have a part number?

thanks for you help lads i'll have a word with my local screan place see how much it will cost.

Hi there i am getting my corrado reprayed soon and wanted to carry out some prep work my self to keep the bill down. Just wanted to know if corrado windows are bonded in or do they come out like mr1/ mr2 golf's do :?:

Have you checked the airflow meter on top of your air box. Cos some times foreign objects can get stuck in the flap which sends a signal to the ecu to over fuel. I might be wrong but is worth checking i have come accross this before on 16 v lumps. :? with flooding faults.

Light usually comes on when the expansion tank is about half full just check that the light flashes when you first turn the igntion on. It should then go out. If you want to check if the wiring is ok bridge the muliti plug out the light should flash this shows that all the wiring is ok. The expansion bottle sensors are known for going wrong regulary. :wink:
