I think that's the best way. Mine reads completely empty while there's still approx 5 litres left. :shock:

OK, we know your cars, where did your names come from???

Guess where mine came from .. :lol: -
I have the big advantage of having a spare "shed" to drive around in over the winter months. :mrgreen:

I'd get someone else to have a look at it - release bearing should outlast the life of the clutch lining. My G60's now 13 years old & still on the original clutch with no noises at all from the release bearing... :shock:

You won't need a windback tool, if your fitting new calipers. We keep the Pagid pads in stock but I have no idea what the part number is - I'll find out when I get to work tomorrow.
-
I much prefer the 6 spokes

:thumbleft:
-
Nick_Micouris, I'm surprised that the bearing has gone already - new one should have been fitted when the clutch was done.
-
Be sure to replace both rear calipers & not just the one that appears to be sticking. When 1 rear caliper goes, the other usually follows very closely behind. I can have a look for you at the next MK meet, if it still pulls to one side.

Rustynuts, There's a few tips here - http://www.snstuning.com - look in the DIY section.

They sell special "tinting spray" in a range of colours.

Ignition Timing at Idle (Vag-com question)
stevemac replied to Ice White Socks's topic in Engine Bay
Theory - The 6.8 that you register may indicate that or your timing is too far advanced & the "knock sensors" are telling the ECU to retard the timing, hence the fluctuating figures ? -
G60 CV joints :- LH Inner – 43937K - £34.50 RH Inner – 43938K - £34.50 Both Outer – 43892 - £34.00 each All + vat We stock 2 different qualities of these joints - only use the exact part numbers above

Nice one - didn't take too long to get another. Bad running could be something as simple as a faulty blue temp sender of damaged vacuum hose.

& keeping warm/dry when it's raining.. :roll:

Not usually with VW - they test cars with 1/2 tank of fuel & ballast in the passengers seat equal to the weight of a passenger.. :shock:
-
Yeah - just the road speed (or switch)

Be sure to solder the joints & not crimp them. Easier to unplug the sensor wiring from the engine mount, remove the sensor from the CAT & do the soldering on a bench (or in your kitchen like I usually do! ) Here's a piccy of where the wiring plugs into the car - hopefully your wiring won't look quite as dodgy as mine currently does.

http://www.dubhaus.co.uk is the website - not working at the moment though.. :?

If there should be a woodfuff key - there will be a slot for it in both the pulley & alternator shaft. No slots - no woodruff key.

james_88, Garage should be able to check for exhaust gasses in the cooling system quite easily - did they check this ?
-
Most alloy wheel refinishers will be able to do this for you.
-
We don't list them for G60's, although we do stock them. I'll post our part numbers for all 4 joints on here tomorrow night.
-
Fitted GSF ones to my G60 10k ago with no problems.

The most central part of each hub sticks out slightly - kind of like a wheel centraliser. Most of the thinner wheel spacers don't have this & this causes the wheels to be centralised by the studs only. Hub-centric spacers have a wheel centraliser (similar to the one on the hub) built into them.
