  1. The Charger itself is reliable as long as its looked after and serviced like anyother part of the car.
  2. it "could" be the alter nator bushes, they wear out and need changine from time to time, disconnect the battery and undo the two screws that hold them in and check the wear the tolerance is about 5mm +-1mm if they are low change them first, they are really cheap.
  3. i changed my fuel filter about a month ago, i cant hear the fuel pump at all now.
  4. if you look in the intake part of the charger chris, as the scrolls move they open and close, thats what i ment. the piccy above make better sense of it
  5. it squeezes the air and make it more dense, the intercooler cools it, making it even more dense and then it gets used by the engine.......sorry did you want more detail. basically it squezes the air throught the charger sqashing it, it uses a fix and moving scroll. the scroll opens and closes at the intake point and moves the air through it, squezing it against each of the scrolls to put it thorugh the charger and compress the air. it then moves out through the exit and into the charger hoses.
  6. im sure you are but they will wear out quicker!!
  7. They Should come down here to spain and see my G60, :lol: bbc holiday Rowland?
  8. anyone know is clearing the fault codes make the ABS light go out quicker, modern cars ABS light goes out really quick, mine seems like a good 5-10 seconds.
  9. your dealer is taking the pee mate
  10. it could be made to work i'll agree, but the large front cooler is a definate no no for me. I've got a 675mm long rad, then the air con rad too. Its the biggest corrado rad, its bigger than the Vr6's. there is not room for a large intercooler there or rad for a charge cooler. Could squeeze an oil cooler in there though. The bike rad in the OEM I/C position is possible. I guess it would have to be a tiny bike rad to make it work. One interesting point though, my G60 is running 10deg C cooler on average since i got a new rad. Old one must of been well messed up inside.
  11. there was a plastic Kit corrado made years ago, has a silver G60 on the box with racing stickers etc. the kits go for loads on Ebay, normally £60-£100, but for that you cant really make the model, cos it looses all the value
  12. ALARM WILL SOUND IF YOU DO NOT BACK AWAY :lol:
  13. As for the extra temp sensors, im gonna move the OEM air temp sensor (the MFA one in the bumper)and put it infront of the intercooler so i messure the drop with the spray on and off. I know its not reading the charge temp, but if you get a temp drop there you must get a drop of some sort through the cooler. And buy using methonal you will drop the temp more than water along, and guess what is one of the main chemicals in screen wash!! So as i've said before on another thread, headlamp washer pump and later screen bottle SORTED. cheap as chips
  14. G60, There is no room for a large intercooler core or charge cooler rad infront of the A/C heat exchanger. You can add a big RS style numper to give you the room. but i would never get my car passed the ITV with that bumper here. The only way it "could be done" is removing the OEM intercooler, inserting the charger cooler under the bonnet and installing a motor bike radiator where the OEM intercooler was to cool the charger cooler liquid. but doing this wouldn't give much benifit for the money. so basically im making a spray bar that will spray a mist of water directly onto the OEM cooler. cheap to make and may work ideally
  15. its a Charge cooler as exturbo2003 says, they basically use water instead of air to cool the car, the water is then pumped through a normal radiator to cool. if you methonol istead of water the cooling effect is greater. Im making a spray bar for my intercooler that sprays liquid directly onto the standard intercool, I would fit a charge cooler but i have Air con and no room for the larger radiator to cool the charge cooler fluid. A polo Rad is normally used and its too thick.
  16. When you start blowing off charger pipes you can fit a dump valve top the G60 ask Pau1 about it, had a chat with him the other week about his old G60 with a dump valve, keeps ppl guessing too.
  17. i've said it once and i'll say it again, when changing/upgrading engine mount do them all including the gearbox ones. If you add a stiffer mount (i.e new or uprated one) the load is passed to the others cos they will move easier. physics guys.
  18. Check the rubber mount for the ISV they basically give up and allow the isv to hit the rocker cover, dealer only part but they are as cheap as chips and the part number is on it.
