Could be the windscreen rubber needs replacing? Or you could have a leak somewhere. Do you find you have a wet carpet. My mates old gti had a similar problem - he never sorted it, but thought it that.

got any more pic's of your bahn brenner intercooler pipes?? I've got a chome set to put on mine & would be interested to see what they'd look like Cheers

:shock: is the replacement gold fibre!!! might have to be the case! now then!! Cheers

Is the std under bonnet sound proofing still available? If so what sort of money is it? Cheers Dan

anyone have the p/n for these?

Thanks lads Problem now solved. Took it in the garage at the weekend so I could get a proper look under it. The bush on the driveshaft was as loose as you like - I could run it up & down the driveshaft!! :shock: Anyway, I gave the guy a drink & he cut it off for me. Car seems fine now. I'm not used to all this non broken car malarkey! Feels wired :wink: I gave it a bit of a shoeing last night, is so nice to be able to do that again! :D

Thanks for the comments :) She was on TV last week 8) unfortunately it was just the back of her, but she's still a star!

It was on a program called "the search for the perfect corrado" with Jeremy Clarkson LOL :D na, my neighbours were on a program of some kind The footage will be nothing amazing.

Does anyone know how to get vhs footage on to a pc so I could create an mpg? My car was on TV this morning & I have it on tape, so thought it would be a laugh to stick it up here. (oh & well spotted Bally!! 8) ) Cheers Dan

Nice one! Get some pic's up so we can all see! :wink:

me!!! :D MY C is famous! 8)

Cheers Gro Henny - how did you get on with that pic mate?

by cutting this off, will it not unbalance the driveshaft at all?

:shock: your not shy to chuck a few quid at her are ya!!! 8)

I'm with Krazee here - VR6 gearing! When I race my mate in his VR, it's obvious 1st & 2nd gear on the VR are exactly what the G60 need. I don't actually think 3rd & 4th are that bad on the G60, that's where I think they start to coming in to decent power. I think Henny has just done a box for his G60 using the VR's 1+2, might be worth dropping him a PM about it. Dan

I took it out last night, I think what ever the problem is, it's trying to reveal it's self. It seems to be getting a bit of a wobble coming from the driver side (front) - but the knocking/rumbling in't happening, it's only actually happened twice ever?? The cars braking fine, no problems there. Wheels have been balanced when the new tyres went on the other month. I'm thinking problem area could be driveshaft/cv joint? Anyone else care to have a stab at it?

Blue smoke is oil. White is water black is fuel or a sooty exhaust

Thanks lads

DOH! mk1 golf cooler anyone?

Also, I haven't actually been under the car myself, so don't know where the bush actually is. Anyone got a picture? Cheers Dan

Looks good Chris, lovely & clean 8)

Help! It happened again. A weird knocking rumbling noise coming from somewhere in the vicinity of the drivers side front centre of my the car. It sounds like something rumbling underneath the car, as if it's about to come off, but only happens after I've gone hard through a left hand bend,lasts for a couple of minutes(sometimes very loudly)and then disappears again,sometimes never heard of again for a few weeks. I've had my wheel bearings checked and they are all spot on, all my front bushes (anti roll bar & top mounts have all been changed) a CV joint also. I have seen someone on the board with a similar problem, be he didn't say how he cured it - something to do with a driveshaft bush???. Could someone elaborate on this please? Also I put the car in the garage a few weeks ago to get the wheel bearings checked cos I thought it was that, that was the problem; and after saying they were all fine they said about the driveshaft bush. His advise was, get used to the noise (as it wasn't 2 bad then & only happened every now & then) & if it gets worse bring it back. But it's the knocking/rumbling I'm worried about. It's not affecting the braking, and the car still seems to corner as b4?? Any help appreciated. I need to cure it ASAP so I can put the car up forsale officially!! Please help!!

LOL!! "I've just installed the new garage love, what do you think?" "do you want me to make it a double? Maybe with a sky light?"

Go around & make sure all hoses are done up nice & tight, & make sure none have holes in them. I don't think there is any fool proof way of doing this. If your 100% sure it's not a leak from a hose, it could be the intercooler is loosing pressure. My money would be on the hoses though. Mine I think is where the hose that comes off of my boost gauge meets the "T" piece @ the inlet manifold, It's a really crap fit & I can move it round which can't be good. I'll be sticking Jubilee clips on everything boost/vacuum related just be sure.

Should be hitting about 1 bar/15psi on a 68mm pulley - sound like you have a boost leak, which also might explain the fluctuation in your air/fuel. I have a boost leak at the moment on mine & am only seeing about 11/12 psi - I think I have tracked mine down now, if it ever stops raining I'll be able to sort it out! :roll:
