Replace the word "mod" with butcher. Took me all day to fit mine. Damn oil cooler sandwich plate had to be turned to clear the u-bend. I would change the oil filter while you're there as well.

fitted a new lambda when i did the exhaust. mpg is good.

Have a strange problem with my G60. Every so often when giving it some beans, from about 4Krpm up it seems to muster up a huge surge of power from out of nowhere. This doesn't happen very often and if I change up, it goes back to normal. Any Ideas on this?. Makes me think that the engine isn't running at peak performance normally, but occasionally reaches its optimum. Having said this, it seems to be running well. Its got a chip and 68 pulley on it, do you think it needs a bigger intercooler?

What year is your Corrado? If its like mine ( 1991-2) then the back box should have 2 hooks at the front of the box and 1 at the back near the bumper. Mine was knocking on the beam so i tied it up to get it off the beam, but now the tailpipe rattles against bumper :( dont bother with cheap GSF hangers, I bought some and within 2 months they were stretched and perished.

Cheers guys, I live near St. Austell Goodridge. Rob

Anyone know what type of lube to spray into a G60 with no boost return? Also the frequency it needs to be done? Thanks Rob

I used a 3 foot pipe on a t-bar to crack the front bolts. Had a nightmare splitting the lower ball joint though. Other than that everything went smoothly. Make sure you've got the right rear bush if using powerflex. Burn the old ones out and cut the metal sleeve in 2 places, it comes out easy then.

I would recommend buying VAG top mounts as the GSF ones ive bought are crap. They flex quite badly when you push down on the wing, maybe its the stiffness of the FK springs thats doing it but i plan to replace them before getting the suspension geometry checked.

O K I fitted the FK Konigsport shocks and new top mounts to my G60 but when you push down on the body it looks like the rubber doughnut/top mount is flexing quite a bit. This is allowing the top plate etc to move up and down as well. Is this normal? my old ones never did it. Ive taken it for a drive and the ride seems ok. When I fitted the top mounts i fitted them so the bearing is in contact with the top spring cup and then used the special nut from the old shock to hold it on there. Is this right? It seemed logical as this is how the old shock was assembled. Also can anyone give me the part numer for the rear axle bush? I bought powerflex ones (pfr85-207) but cant see this beveled edge on them that everyone is talking about. Many thanks, Rob

Anyone else got these who can confirm this? Rob

O.K ive bought a set of FK Konigsport shocks, but im baffled by the height adjustment. When i wind the adjuster rings up the body of the damper all it seems to be doing is compressing the helper spring. Surely this cant be right. Ive taken the springs off the damper and tried to pull the shaft out to see if the damper can be lengthened, but as far as i can tell its fully extended. Can anyone tell me the fully extended length of the damper? I want to run the car as high as possible on these shocks, so i think im right in thinking the rings need to be at the top of the damper body. Any information on this would be great as all the literature that came with it is in German :( Cheers Rob

Ive got the same problem with my throttle pedal, drives me insane. Tried greasing the pivots but it hasnt helped.

Hi guys Want to lower my corrado so ive been thinking about FK highsport coilovers. Whats the general opinion on these? Also what other parts do i need to replace at the same time? Top mounts, top mount bearings? any suggestions would be appreciated Rob

Thats weird, seems i only got part of this thread when i first clicked on it, my post seems kinda useless now. And how come it says posted at 9:13, its 22:20, strange

The G60 doesnt have a oil cooler as standard, it had a water-oil heat exchanger. If he's removed this then it should run a lot cooler if anything, I know mine does. Water temps rise quickly to about 90-100 when stationary but once moving it plummets to just over 70. I thought lower resistance on the co pot richened the mixture? As for a remedy I dont really know, seems like you've already replaced everything.

Anyone know where u can buy the flexi brake hoses so u can use mk4 golf callipers on the G60? Anywhere online that sells them? Cheers Rob

Yes i have noticed that, oil temp is also nice and cool too. Thats a relief I thought i had something seriously wrong Cheers mate

Hi guys, Just put my car back together: stage 4 charger,68mm pulley,oil cooler. Sounds Awesome :D (Cheers Darren) Ive also got rid of the water-oil heat exchanger. However ive noticed the water temperature seems to rise quickly when standing still for a few minutes. I dont remember it getting hot so quickly before. Any Ideas? I changed the blue coolant sensor and lamda probe as well. Its not loosing coolant and there are no leaks. I noticed when undoing the expansion cap there was a lot of gurgling, could it just be an air pocket? Oh and the rad fan is working too. What u reckon? Cheers Rob[/u]

Have heard of people removing the carbon canister and running a pipe down to a cone filter in the wheel arch. Other options would be drillng the air box or whack a K&N in the airbox position with some sort of heat shield around it. Rob

Its a J reg G60, thanks for your help.

Does anyone know what type of hangers the Magnex ss exhaust has? Will it fit the earlier type hook hangers? Cheers, Rob

I think you'll find that scoobs have got boxer engines, Hence the quad cams.

Does anyone else think corrado 1/4 mile times suck. My mate ran a 13.9 in his pretty much standard scooby at santa pod. Even the modified C's struggle to get below 14's. If I were a real boy racer, it would really piss me off, luckily the corrado is better to drive than any other car i've been in. Plus the fact that I love the howl of the supercharger :D

Can u be more specific? Even so, I don't think u should have any leaks at all.

So is everyone running higher boost then or what? I've directed the oil breather into a catch tank so no problems there. Seems that all ive gained is a whistle at idle but nothing else. Nevermind, should help in the long run when i get the charger sorted and running a smaller pulley.
