Would it not be easier to just push the pinswitch with your finger. :roll: The easiest option by far is to get in the boot and close yourself in (this may require the assistance of a 'friend'). You will then be able to clearly see if the boot light is working or not. :rofl: :lol: :lol:

Fan is controlled by an "ambient air temp sensor". This senses the air temp inside the engine bay & can activate the cooling fan for upto 20 minutes after the engine is switched off. :shock: Sensor is very small & mounted to a plate - just behind the Idle Stabilisation Valve on top of the cam cover.

Before I bought my G60, it had been stood in a garage for the best part of 4 years. So I had the entire braking system renewed (discs, pads, rear wheel bearings, brakefluid, etc.) Didn't have time to do it myself so I took it to the local garage. They appeared to do a fairly good job, with the exception of shagging my handbrake handle. They paid for a new handle & I was happy. 3 weeks later, I noticed my NSR wheel bearing was loose. I regreased & tightened it correctly but a month later it was loose again. I thought I had a duff bearing & so I renewed it. OSR was good with no problems at all - it was just the NSR which was having problems. This new bearing started to fail shortly afterwards so I fitted a new NSR stub axle, new rear discs, new rear wheel bearings & now I have no problems at all. This was all done over 18 months ago & the bearings are still going strong. 8)

I just never heard a rear wheel bearing squeak before - all the damaged ones I've ever listened to have a "rumbling" noise. If your wheel's wobbly & the bearings are squeaking, I'd say that they're just a bit loose. They may just need packing with fresh grease & re-tightening. Did your mechanic grease the bearings properly when he fitted them ?

Technically correct - although a very different type of supercharger to the G-Ladder that VW use. :roll: IMO - Kompressor badge on the back of a Corrado looks about as ridiculous as wearing a burberry cap while driving it :shock:

Yup - needs changing every 2 years :shock:

It's the position of the valve that is different in the G60 oil filter :wink:

Yeah - apart from the fact that it's chrome, different font & the car doesn't have a Kompressor fitted to it :roll:

Not sure on that one - Govenment usually add an extra tax on importing alcohol based products. That's why Mercedes now source all their screenwash in the UK, insted of importing the German (far superior) stuff. :shock:

Not sure why VW's have specified different seals - progress I suppose :roll: One thing for certain - red ATF will eventually kill them though. :shock:

bighands, Don't bet on it being the wheel bearing - rear wheel bearings usually make a "rumbling" noise when they're knackered.

That is one seriously fat exhaust (standard is 2.5") Does it catch on the rear axle ??

General purpose grease will do fine - correctly adjusted bearings don't generate much heat.

KidDub, Welcome to the forum m8 & congratulations on your choice of engine :wink:

Not as much torque though :wink: STD G60 has 165 ft/lb

Lowest setting on the Raceland stuff makes your bodywork sit on top of the tyres :shock: I used to have them on my G60.

bad2vbone, Welcome to the forum m8 8) Oil temps of 124 degrees are not uncommon - your sensor may well be working correctly. MFA updates itself every few seconds - this is why it gives a different reading when you turn your engine back on.

I suspect the other will be an oil pressure sensor :wink:

Ohhh dear :roll:

Definitely at least 1 duff top mount - replace the pair & be sure to use new top mount bearings too (sold seperately).

VIBE 6x9's are unbeatable for the price. Very heavy though - you'll need to make a MDF parcel shelf :shock: http://www.vibeaudio.co.uk/

We list only the valve kits for the Golf MK2 - not sure if they're the same as the Corrado ones ?? Our part number is 17855 £25.60 + vat

Had a similar problem on my old Scirocco - similar K-Jetronic mechanical injection. Car was misfiring at low revs but felt great higher up the rev range. Turned out to be the fuel distributor. I took it off, gently tapped it on my workbench & put it back on. I was lucky, the car ran fine after that. The Internal valves had been sticking a bit.
