hey guys, just wondering what to do as im kinda stuck between a rock and a hard spot. ive a 91 g60 with 140k,engine is basically knackered,needs new pistons,rings,head done and bottom end bearings are badly knocking and crank polished. all this work i think will cost me about 1000 euro, but a mate of mine bought a 95 passat estate which has a 2.8 vr6 in it which he'll sell to me with gearbox and loom and whatever other bits i might need for 650 euro. what you guys think is my best plan, get the g-lader back firing on all cylinders, or drop in the big vr6? your suggestions and tips are greatfully appreciated. thanks

ok and if this is faulty does this cause the spark to break down and be kind of intermittent?

is the hall sender located in underneath the dizzy cap? the vac pipes were never touched in the last 2 years? but will measure it anyways out of curiosity!

yea ive tried that, its perfect. a guy told me bout that before but had the pulley off and its fine. also the guy in the garage told me the shell bearings need replacing, would there be a knock sensor or anythin that would not allow me to start?

hey guys im wondering if any one can help me, I've got a 1991 corrado g60, 140k miles, about a month ago it started to run pretty bad and when you would give it full acceleration in any gear it would die and feel as if it was smothering itself, then when you backed off the accelerator it would backfire badly. slowly began to get harder to start. when idling and when accelerating slowly it would run fine. after about two weeks its gave up and wouldnt start at all. i changed the distributor cap, rotor arm, leads, plugs and fuel filter all to no success. i adjusted the ignition timing every way possible and eventually gave up the fight. i dropped it to a recommended vw garage who looked at it and got it going again, they told me they adjusted both main timing and ignition timing. i got it home and droe for a few hours but then stalled again.its getting fuel as far as the fuel rail and its sparking fine,so it has sat there for the past week and im confused as to where to go. any help would be greatfully appreciated, thanks lads.
