G60Jet

I thought all g60s were 4 stud (including late ones), am I wrong? sorry let me fill in the caps all G60 are originally 4 studs. the face lifted G60's share suspension component with the VR6 so a swap may be possible, including brakes etc. but the drive shafts may not fit as they will be a different length so you may have to put Vr ones in. someone must have tried it!!

VR6 Rear axel Job done (i would think) fronts!! late g60 with face lift may be but the shafts may be different

easy just a hose clamp, should be a screw driver job.

I was merely making the point (and tongue-in-cheek when doing so!) that the VR doesn't need a rebuild (of any kind) after 40k miles, unlike the G60 which is recommended to have a charger overhaul. No need to apologise :wink: 8) 40k on a modded one and 60k on VW service intervals, which BTW VW dont do, they send them away!! THATS MILES BTW

to check the charger remove the first boost hose off the charger and check for signs of oil, if there is oil present the seals are going, if there is oil in small spoonfulls then its on its way out for sure. at 90k and never done, it must be going. Check for a VW oil filter should be black and have VW plastered all over it. NON oem filters dont filter the oil aswell apparently. I was down the breakers the other week and there was a blown charger on a C there and the filter was a tiny thing that looked like a motor bike one. When getting the charger rebuilt make sure you change the oil Feed line for a new one and get the bigger return pipe cleaned.

This thread is tempting fate!! dont you think?

Only rare colour VR6's with leathers are campaigns 5 left out of 6 i think Jeremy said one was for sale not so long ago.

its fallen flat on its face for me to sort this. The americans want to big and order to make it worth doing. Looking this thread now if anyone wants it open again PM me or a mod DONT start a new thread

Just a quick mention for new members that may not of read this thread.

JUMP TO THIS POST HERE Donators Get a 5 star rating for their efforts!! An even better way to show your support is to buy some stickers for your Corrado Windows You can do this here thanks to Tom aka VR6

check your alarm relay that holds the control voltage sounds like a fault to me. Cliffords alarms for example wont close VW's with out a seperate relay fitted from what i understand. Unless you program the lock pulse for the window closure time.

28 thats nothin had 35 on saturday afternoon, NO POWER :(

Clutch and brakes are the same. power steering is a seperate res tank

Do you mean the connection where the top rad hose goes into the block and via a plastic pipe with the blue and black sensors in? If you you should be able to a) if your lucky replace the 'O' rings for the sensors and all will be fine, or B) change the plastic pipe that connects all the hoses to the block. Use new G12 plus antifrezee/coolant from VW instructions are on the bottle for the correct mix for your climate. I'd change the thermostate and flush the system with distilled water is you drain the system.

I think we should all stop slaggin the saxo, after all its a nice little compact run around thats cheap to run and insure, which jim is taking advantage of untill he can get a VR. Its just the "scene" and a few "idots" thats drive them. (not you jim) becasue the saxo is so cheap it has become a modders car for these idiots and lest face it with free insurance its a pritty attractive package (only if they knew about these free insurance sceme!! :evil: :lol: ) , and any business that are in that game is right to take advantage of that fact and produce all the shit they stick to the things. its easy money!! just my 2cents

:lol: JIM Got ya!! easily wound in there :lol:

# you must have something wrong with your car like a boost leak or sumthin,check it out,but yea a saxo is a piece of crap even if they beat a g60. I'll second that cos on the way out earlier i had a 206 GTI Trying to pass me over and undertaking, he eventually found a cap so i waited till he was level with me undertakeing me, going round a corner(him on the inside of the bend) im in 5th, i just pressed the pedel and breezed back past him, he then sat on my arse after i slowed down (missus) , then i just opened her up and floored it, left him standing then missus again giving me shit so i pulled in let him pass and he then cuts infront of me!! being a dick as if to say i win LOL

erm you missed my motor off :cry:

Look on ebay there are always a few for sale

can just see all those ebay laptops going now!! LOL

LowG, The plugs are pre caped!!

Anyone ever used the outside air temp as a charge temp sensor!! how cheap would that be, no gauge and on the dash!!

there is no reset for the g60 ecu as it dont have a temperary memory

LowG, Go an buy the ONLY plugs that work in the G60 the bosch ones w6pdo

Glad to hear you okay mike Go back to where the car was parked and check for CCTV!!

Kx3isme, A im sure you can go buy one lead and swap it in turn to check them!!
