uktarget

I've only seen 102 and i did give it a bit last night today i've just done a 25 mile round trip normal driving and the highest i've seen is 96 so i've worried for nowt. Think i'l get a mocal cooler tho as im going to get the charger ported in the very near future and slap a cam in

Me again being a noob as usual. Just wanted to know what sort of running temps i should be getting i've got a g60 just had coolant and head gasket. Im was running 65 mm pulley unkown chip k&n temps were about 80 water and 96 oil. Today i've put a bbm stage 3 chip and check valve on the car oil now gets to 102 and water about 90. Nowt to woory about or drop the valve and chip? or does the dizy timing need altering? Also fitting the red-tops tomorrow will that make any difference?

Cheers sam was getting a bit worried :lol: While were here have you got a fitting piece for the induction pipe onto the standard charger Cheers John

Going to fit this this afternoon I've just been looking at the standard set-up and it has the feed to the fpr a feed to the rail next to it and then a pipe coming off the other end and going to a sensor. As you can see the bbm rail only has 2 pipes do i need anything else to fit or do i blank off disconnect a pipe/sensor Going to be fitted with a bbm stage 3 chip and red-tops

p lease ingore that request they are the right one's just done an etka check on them Still best way to clean them up would be a help :)

Ok i've bought a set of vr6 injectors and im going to put 4 on my g60 they've clean-up and look ok. Been told they are the same red tops as needed for the g60 but these look a bit more brown. The part number is 021906031a on one side and 0280150953 on th other just want to check these are the right ones as i intend to fit the fuel rail and these today. Cheers

Hi. Quick question not a problem just abit of advice which will hopfully help others as well. Which fpr im after a 3.5 to go with a bbm stage 3 chip and 65mm pulley and red tops i've seen a lot on ebay which say universal etc..etc.. and wonder wether they are worth it ? Also are the ones with the gauges any good are they accurate as i don't fancey wasting my pistons due to a crappy gauge Cheers John

What happens with yours. Somtimes a fresh approach is a good way to solve thing's and even tho im still not sure on everything you never know. :wink:

Your telling me it was scary and like i said if it was'nt for the pipe coming off (no cable tie on it!!!!) I would'nt have known, God work's in mysterious ways heh either that or i have the luck of the devil Still goning to look into putting steel braided all round now this week

It was just the vacum pipe from the throttle body to the ecu with mine sorted now The petrol leak was the nasty one especially after spending £760 on having the head replaced Check your pipe if you hav'nt done so for leaks it's shocked me how much difference that bit of pipe makes got to be a 100cm in length tho

Morning chaps :D :D Check'ed the 100cm pipe this morning as i can see better now i've got some light it had come away from the TB. so put it back and purring nicley hav'nt been out for a run yet but no backfire on tickover and responds 100% better. But................. Noticed a bit of steam/ smoke coming from the left hand side just under the fuel rail on closer inspection it appears it's petrol leaking :shocked!: Going to check all the clips on the fuel pipes and the pipes themselves now (this isn't a plea for advice as i know what's happening) Just like to say a big :thumbleft: THANK YOU :thumb right: to you guy's not only have you solved my problem but if i'd have left it and wait'd till tomorrow and just used the car steady as i have a bit of running around to do today you have probrably saved me from going up in :onfire: Funny how it happened tho otherwise i'd have been none the wiser about the petrol Thanks again for the good advise i owe you all several large drink's

With regards to the slippage i've been out with a torch and the belt does look off center would slippage cause this and the rich running?

Ok. Quick update it won't run on the standard chip but it's been lying around so maybe fubar But just put the other in and started the car, started fine but then tried applying full throttle quick from under the bonnet and it backfires and wont rev innstantly Can't check the pipe from the tb till morning but do you reckon the maps f**k'd on the chip?

Hi charger was done 3.5k just standard but was als running fine and has the smaller belt this is all tight and spins with the engine running and no strange noises also does'nt bog down when just reving in neutral

Im thick TB?

Also has only done 45 miles with this chip but yeah was fine with the standard one

the chip come from germany of a guy who was running it on his g60 golf with the pulley im just putting the standard one back in as i type. It say's ST singapore on the chip but no name :(

Help!!!!! just got my raddo back today and have a 65mm pulley and chip fitted it's on standard injectors at the mo tho but i hav'nt gone past 4k rpm Anyway it's started to hesitate when i put the throttle down somtimes and wont boost at all just bogs down if i try and put my foot down No strange noises from the charger but the plugs are black sooty i took it to mids vw and he said he'd set it up to drive safe ish but im lost. also ticking over a bit erratic Help

Ive already go a chip from a golf g60 which was also running the 65mm pulley ive got as well come from germany so we had a few communication prob's but he more or less said that it was running fine and he drove it hard but could'nt get him to say what injectors he was running. So if these are ok im going to get a sns stage chip and fit the 3.5 fpr,speaking of which i've found this site http://volksinfo.com/index.php They list 3.5 fpr's for $39.99 about £20.00 and 4.5's 4.0's as well and green tops for about £30 each, I've emailed them about postage but hav'nt got a reply yet may be if enough of use emailed them we could get a group buy. One more thing i've put the chip in and fitted the 65mm pulley but still have the standard injectors i don't blat around every where just tickle it slightly now and again but normaly drive nice and steady (im 40 im an old man im allowed :lol: ) Plus i've spent years tearing around in beetles and campers with 30 hp engines (im still in culture shock and had to sack the fella with the red flag who used to walk in front). So will i be ok for a couple of weeks while i get the rest of the bit's together

I did look into the ecu side of things and have now got a set of from a vr6 used but i'l have a look when i get them only cost £15.00 off ebay. Nothing ventured nothing gained :wink:

Thanks for that, I know of a set going cheap so saved myself a quite a bit and will have 2 spare :D

Hi again all Just wondering are the red top injectors from a vr6 the same as the red tops i need for my G60 just thought id ask as i may be able to save a bit of cash. Cheapskate that i am :lol:

Are these hard to install been reading a lot about them and looking around some of the european sites have seen them at a reasonable price

The charger was serviced last year and has only covered 4k and hit's 17900 on the mfa test so it's good but i will taking it to gwerks to have it ported in the winter when it comes off the road for the respray

Thanks for all the advice guy's. Looks like im going to have to look into everything a bit more closely as it's looking like i need a few more part's before i go slaping everything on and expacting everything to be hunkey dory may put getting it on the road back another couple of weeks, Did'nt know there was so much more to it as ive not long made the switch from aircooled dubs to these. Still any links info on what i should and should'nt be doing is greatly appreciated. Cheers John :D
