Hi Guys, First off, I would like to say a big thanks for all of your advice guys. Secondly a HUGE thanks to Bilal @ SNS Tuning, who came round yesterday with the ecu of his car, the ecu in question had the same chip I'm fitting to mine. Plugged the ecu in and it started straight away (atleast I know whats wrong now), so I took it for a spin, Im used to quick cars having owned previously, a civic vtec, celica gt-four and have a mondeo v6 run about. Now this is how a G60 should feel!!! oh my god!!!! no lag, just pure, smooth acceleration. We put it on the road dyno and it made near enough 200bhp at the crank and this was with normal unleaded(no detenation), but next time its optimax only. I now can't wait to get the ecu back from VW and get the beast on the road! A big thanks to Bilal for bringing round the ecu and all the advice on improving my G60 Top Bloke Thanks James

No mate, so my glimmer of hope soon vanished. Bilal Is coming over monday with his ecu to see if it works on the car. fingers crossed it aint the ecu! if it is do you know where I could get a cheaper one darren? cheers mate

Hi Guys, sadly the car is still not working, was on the phone to a vw mechanic last night going over a few things but nothing obivious was wrong. He took the ecu today, to send of for testing so should have that back soon. Bilal said he might pop over monday to have a look, so hopefully its only minor as a new ecu is £660 from VW :( anybody know where I can get one cheaper? and thanks guys for all your help :D Jimbo

Lee, thats exactly it mate, just gone through the fuses but no luck. starting to pull my hair out now. Thinking now it could be ecu.

Tried putting the old chip back in still no difference, is it worth checking the fuses?

Yep ignition lights are on, all that is ok, there is no spark being generated though? have i minced the ecu?

just finished and now the car won't start, looked at everything at Its all where it should be but It wont turn over!!! anything I could of missed? its an SNS st5 chip, 3.5fpr, pulley and belt, the only thing I can think of is the chip? anything I've missed?

thanks for the help guys, I've just done the pulley and belt, Just started to do the chip but cant get the connector off, I have taken the screw out, anything else I have to do? do really want to start bullying it and breaking the connectors. cheers :D

Hi Guys, Firstly I will say Hello as I'm new here! :D Secondly, I will be fitting a new pulley and belt tomorrow and wondered If there are any golden rules to stick to? I take it the SC pulley turns when you try loosening the bolt? Any Ideas on over coming this? Thirdly, I would just like to say thanks to Darren who has done a pukka job with my charger, Cheers :D
