I've never changed power steering fluid - unless I've changed part of the steering system as well. Shouldn't need topping up either, unless there's a leak.

:lol: :lol:

Yeah, that's it - quite close to the screw thread. All other VW screw-on filters have the valve much further inside the filter.

Just make sure that they've sent the right oil filter - there should be an internal valve very close to the top of the filter - this filter is unique to G60's.

Are your front tyres rubbing on the coil springs or inner wheelarches ? Did you have the front camber re-set once you'd changed the springs ?

Yup - only use the green stuff. If your oil is red, that's likely to be what's shagged your pump and/or steering rack .. :shock:

I'm with you on this one Ian. If the wheel on one side is closer to the spring than the wheel on the other side, your rear axle is either out of alignment or the bushes are shot.

I've got a Piper 270 deg cam & adjustable (vernier) pulley too .. :D

No worries m8 - hope you get it sorted.. :wink:

The head has a 10mm thread already cut into it & originally will have had a 10mm - 8mm reducer stud - you need a 10mm - 10mm stud which we keep in stock - GSF part number 13132 @ 50 pence + VAT. The "conversion" stud that you've already been supplied with will be identical to the original one that you already have fitted into your cyl head.

corradowales, I'll have a look for you tomorrow.. :wink:

If your engine gets low on oil, the hydraulic cam followers will become noisy (like you describe) as they need sufficient oil to fill them up.

£6999.99, final offer. :lol: :lol:

Wasn't my post but I fitted a MDF boot floor into my G60 a couple of years ago. Got it level by gluing a batton to the rear panel with "No Nails". I made the boot floor from 2 seperate panels which fit together to make a single boot floor - much easier to remove than a single piece of MDF.

Link don't work for me.... :( Not sure if it's over priced or not - I wouldn't sell mine for a penny less than 7k

that's the same "piston heads" logo............

Only option that I can suggest ie to drill a hole down the centre of the headless bolt & hammer a spline key into it. Hammering the bolt should loosen the threads enough for it to then unscrew. Chances are that the bolt will have rusted into the captive thread - hammering should free it off.

Terrible handling too.. :shock:

The difference on cold winter days won't be nearly as noticable as it will be on a hot summers day. Standard G60 cooler is just too small & doesn't get enough air flow to cool the intake temperature very well. The cooler the air, the higher the oxygen content of the air. Engines only burn the oxygen content & consequently more oxygen = more power, therefore colder air = more power.

Who exactly are you ??

Horrible, unreliable cars !! Serious problems/design faults - rear suspension arms steering column steering rack instrument cluster VERY uncomfortable seats - try doing a 200 mile journey in one New W169 chassis A-Class are supposedly much better. :wink:

Blue_Joe & I fitted a set of these to his G60 a few weeks ago. Fit new top mounts front & rear. The rear top mounts are a 2 piece arrangement - just like the MK2 Golf. You'll need to get the camber aligned once they're fitted. Also change the front wishbone bushes & ball joints at the same time - unless they've already been done. G60 suspension is basically the same as the MK2 Golf - only stronger, due to the extra vehicle weight. Only MK3 Golf thing to concern yourself with is the front wishbone bushes.

Fitting a cam to a G60 will usually not yeild much in the way of power - it will just move the max torque further up the rev range. I agree with Daz - front mount cooler is the next thing to do.

8bhp & 8lbft difference to the standard Corrado G60 cooler ??

G60 Bob, As I said above - 12 gallon tanks have the 2 pump system & 15 gallon tanks have the single pump system. AFAIK - both of your pumps may be the same as the 1.8-16v, which has the same type of pump arrangement. You won't need to replace the fuel level sensor as the internal pumps on this type of system are all the same. You will, however, need to replace both internal & external pumps. I would also replace the fuel pump relay & possibly the accumulator - failing fuel pumps will place extra load onto the relay & it may have already started to burn out.
