Some of the claims are complete bull - the leads may/may not be ok. Stick with Beru ones .. :wink:

4stud, What model do you have ??

Go for the 40mm drop springs. Most manufacturers supply the same set of springs for all 4 cyl Corrados. G60's weigh more & will sit lower. 60mm lowering springs will drop your car almost to the floor - so it'll look like mine .. :D The ride will be very bad with standard shockers - fit stiffer ones. Shorter shocker for G60's aren't available - std length is already short.

That'll be because they won't have much use for RHD wiper blades .. :wink:

Yawn - which standard issue part would that be then ??

It's just so that the pages display properly in 1024x768 resoloution. Wide pictures distort the thread pages & also take ages to download for those people still on 56k connections. The pages load much faster if the piccys are thumbnailed.

I'm buggered if I could get those 2 sump screws back on - I left them off & it doesn't leak.. :mrgreen:

My usual run of events for anything that I buy is to discard the packaging, closely followed by the manual. Although, for some reason, I do still have the Corrado manual - just can't be bothered to read it .. :lol:

Scirocco Scala 1.8i to a slightly tuned G60 .. :D

Ahh - always wondered why my intermittent wipe worked at different speeds from one day to the next. Couldn't be bothered to RTFM but now I know - cheers Andi .. :wink:

Disconnect the blue temp sensor while the engine is idling. No difference = knackered sensor If the vacuum pipe fits snugly over the outlet on the throttle body & on the ECU - it's the right diameter.

Expensive mod but one that I (& many others) can fully reccomend. The Lupo GTI wipers are absoloutely first class. They'll even wipe the screen reliably at 120mph (so I've heard) .. :lol: Mine are now 2yrs (20k) old & still as good as new.

Geez - took me a full day, trying to remove the 2 sump screws next to the gearbox .. :shock: If I ever have to remove & refit my sump again - I'll gladly pay somebody else to do it.

sciroccotune, It's the arms m8 - they don't apply enough pressure on the widscreen. It's a known problem with all Corrados.

I assume you've checked the oil level ?? What oil & grade are you using ?? What model Corrado do you have ?? Maybe worth changing the oil pressure switch - could be faulty.

Not sure about the external pumps but the single in-tank type (as fitted to G60's and VR6's) run at 4bar pressure.

Dr Forinor, 10 years is the servicable lifespan that I would give any rubber suspension component. You are quite correct in your suspicions - rubber deteriorates with age as well as mileage. My car's now 13 years old & last year I replaced ALL rubber suspension parts. As I'm a bit anal when it comes to things like this - I also replaced the front wishbones, ball joints, all 4 CV joints, etc. The only thing I have left is the rear axle bushes - these are being replaced next week. My car now handles fairly well - with the exception of the back end - new rear axle bushes will sort that. _leon_ - If your renewing complete wishbones, with the bushes already fitted - maybe 30-45 mins each side. Ball joints are a different "kettle of fish" - I had to remove the whole front stub axle assys to get my old ones out - what a pain in the ass. If the old ones come out easily - maybe add another 15mins per side. After this work - your car will need a "laser 4 wheel alignment" to re-set the camber/tracking - usually around another £60 or so. Do not get the work done in a garage that doesn't have the neccessary laser alignment equipment. Rear axle bushes - no re-alignment neccessary.

Yes - the bore is very important The 1m length combined with the bore = a specific internal volume. The bore is just as important as the length.

Now that really would be a bargain .. :lol:

Riley, The price is for that particular part number - our stock is mainly MTE but some Bosch ones are kicking around. At 510mm, the cable length is a little longer than the standard G60 sensor length of approx 360mm. If you want a Bosch sensor with the correct cable length (360mm) - I'll get a price for you tomorrow (may be a little more expensive than £49 + vat though). As I said, we don't stock these but can get them direct from Bosch. Unfortunately, the throttle body gaskets are VAG only - from memory, mine were about £5 for the pair.

G60 con-rods are strong as fcuk - no problems there .. :wink:

Both of the exhaust valves in view have hit the pistons .. :( Just had another look - both of the inlet's have too .. :shock: There appears to be an imprint of the piston crown on all 4 valves.

olly elworthy, SNS chip - mapped by Daz & Liam (G-Werks/Pitstop). Car's approx 210bhp & still nowhere near it's full potential - gonna get Daz to sort the mapping properly once I've fitted the front mount cooler. Check the link in my sig for full spec .. :D

Right then - GSF part number 93031 should fit G60's. Comes complete with cable & plug, the wiring is approx 510mm long from the end of the plug to where the wires go into the sensor. From memory - this should be about the right length. Stock here is MTE, although some of our branches may have stock of the Bosch ones - under the same part number. Retail is £49.00 + vat

Henny, We keep the sensors in stock, in a variety of cable lengths - I'm just gonna go measure the cable lengths that we have & re-post the part numbers .. :wink:
