G60-R

as said above water temp gauage has stopped working. any ides of the cause? is it thermostat of some thing like the blue temp sender. for my g60 btw. also, best to go to vw for this or else where. Also no.2, gonna change my front top mounts on my passat. another vw supplyer or else where? Cheers.

yep i had a 63 on my passat. was told it was a 72 when i bought it. and yes a bigger crank pully too. and yes, a trip to darren with a poped oil seal in just over 10000 miles. luck to make that long really. mostly motorways. as far as performance goes. very quick off the line with oddles of low down grunt. started to peter off further up the range though. if you like short shifting it's cool. poor little g was snpinning its nuts off. i've put a 68 on now. must smoother to drive. althought if i get a rado g to molest i'll prob run a 65 depending on health of charger.

just checked a set up list steve gave me when i was down there. CO pot 580ohms and BTS 220ohms. i've got standard injectors though. not sure if it alters anything?

It's the linking rod between the selecting lever coming out of gearbox and the rod conected to the gear leaver. She's got a 02 pug 106 1.1. Got the offending part back on agin but the conectors look worn so gonna order a new one. Cheers

if he's talking a getting a bigger engine, wonder what he's doing with the old one. will it fit in a passat????????????????? :D quite a car for a ford.

Why did you have to buy a new charger? is the old one non-rebuildable. i.e fooked. if not get it rebult for about #350 and sell it on as fully functional and serviced. New ones are about #1000 from germany if i remember rightly. so some one could be willing to pay #500 if theres has grenaded it's self.

Myself, bigblueC and JT are planning on it next year. looks like a right laught. Are those pics of the 'petie saint bernard pass', the mountain road that links the aosta valley with borg saint marice? i lived in that area for 18 months and drove it more the a few times! Fun road though, as long as your breaks are up for it.

Buy another C. Nowt wrong with owning 6 :) jokes aside the 1.9 engine was/is a fine peice of engineering from pug.

I'm from winchester too. not a C but have a G60 lump in my passat. a mini car meet should happen 8)

er..... only thing i might think is head gasket. has your oil gone creamy? but more importantly, autotechnik are good but there labour rate are steep to say the least. i'd try to find some one local that knows there v-dubs. i discovered 'best auto' in winchester not so long ago. only used them for tyres and supention geomotry but they said they do quite alot of work on modding dubs and reasonably priced to. They knew what my car was which is always a thumbs up if you ask me :)

Do they do plastic covers for G60s?

If you want to check if a thermostat is working ok take it out and drop in to a cup of boiling water. it should open if it's ok. if not, new one.

yeah sorry did'nt take where i wanted it to, edited

ok i have a 91 passat G60 syncro with a dodgy knock sensor been looking but can anyone give me the part no. for a new one and reccommend a place to get one.....

There might be on a Passat though. :D
