  1. This week I had to remove my Charger for a service and the only guide I could find online was the Matey Matey on, which was very informative but not enough pictures as I find it easier to to understand than a load of paragraphs

     

    So I thought why not make my own guide for future reference and for other people to benefit from

     

    Right so I started off

     

    Pop open the bonnet and remove the drivers side Headlight and front grill

    Next remove the airbox/airfilter inlet pipe by 2x hex boltstop and bottom

    Next remove the radiator cover

     

    PhotoGrid_1412632714952_zpsz7lwpdr2.jpg

     

     

    Next remove the 4 hex bolts on the side of the charger, theyre what hold the charger in the bracket

     

    PhotoGrid_1412632439930_zpssgkp7wc3.jpg

     

     

    Next remove the black plastic cover that sits on top of the charger by these 2 bolts

     

    PhotoGrid_1412632955803_zpsj0sf4z8g.jpg

     

     

    Then on the right hand side of the charger there is a black plastic box ( the silencer box ), undo the jubilee clips and pull off the intercooler pipe

     

    PhotoGrid_1412633035802_zpsuuhjglhb.jpg

     

     

    Just underneath the black box you will see an oil feed cable, should be a silver braided hose , undo this and place up by the oil cap so I doesn't drip oil anywhere, there is also another oil feed pipe on the bottom of the charger on the side where the airbox was

     

    Unfortunately I didn't take any pics when I undid these but you can clearly see them

     

     

    Next to do is loosen and remove the tensioner bolt, and I tapped it off with a rubber mallet

     

    PhotoGrid_1412633111029_zpskc9ets5e.jpg

     

     

    Then slip the belt off the charger pulley

     

    PhotoGrid_1412633177279_zpsnk35yqwx.jpg

     

     

    Next remove this pipe from the charger, its quite stiff so give it a good wiggle and a pull, I slipped a very small flathead screwdriver in and lightly levered it out

     

    PhotoGrid_1412633251272_zpsdgmufijd.jpg

     

     

    Next remove the oil dipstick and then the 4 bolts holding the black silencer box together, I found this quite difficult as the bottom 2 bolts wernt easy to get to, make sure you get a spanner on there good and firm and don't round the bolts off, just slowly crack the bolts

     

    PhotoGrid_1412633347057_zps7tqqu23e.jpg

     

     

    Next split the black box

     

    PhotoGrid_1412633439296_zpshpulk1fe.jpg

     

     

    Remove the one half of the black box out of the bay and then remove this bolt holding the other half in

     

    DSC_6200_zpswdz6agfr.jpg

     

     

    PhotoGrid_1412633569594_zps4su837op.jpg

     

     

    Then you can access the last 2 hex bolts holding the charger in on the bracket

     

     

    PhotoGrid_1412633661441_zpsrkna2uag.jpg

     

     

    Then remove the last bolt on the charger support bracket, watch the metal 3 holed bracket doesn't fall down

     

    PhotoGrid_1412633748022_zpshsfdbhsn.jpg

     

     

    Then I used a crowbar to slowly loosen the charger from the bracket, then with a bit of a wiggle the charger should lift out

     

     

    PhotoGrid_1412633873455_zpswwh9yugn.jpg

     

     

    PhotoGrid_1412633938992_zpsk8zokjan.jpg

     

     

    PhotoGrid_1412634026410_zpsgw0vutg4.jpg

     

     

    Now theres a big empty gap where your charger used to be, get the Gunk out and start scrubbing

     

    Then send your charger off to Matt at OCD for an overhaul and service

    And there you have it, I hope this helps people out in the future...Good Luck Steve

  4. Hi guys I have just purchased a Corrado G60, 112,000 miles, tax and tested till next April 2015, for the grand sum of £800

     

    It does have a few minor problems that need addressing, llike bodywork as there is laquer peel on both doors and bonnet and bumper have stone chips and paint flaking off, but have a sprayer friend who can sort it, I have another set of wheels to go as tose horrid ones have to go

     

    I plan on sending the charger to OCD to get serviced as there is no history of it
