Do a search on here mate, plenty of info (a mk2 G60 subframe should be the same iirc, but do a check for sure) It's basically what the engine, suspension and most of the front end bolts to so labour will be quite up there, but I don't think it's too hard to do if you have a few knowledgeable mates.

I picked these up from the bay recently: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=220202229257&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=012 They seem quality enough, although I haven't fitted them yet. Do VW really want £70 for them??? They're fitted to so many different models, you might be able to get a genuine set quite cheaply. hth, Jon.

A subframe doesn't cost THAT much mate, of course it's not worth scrapping! You will have tyour work cut out finding a G60 one though, I've found more hen's teeth recently :/

ok fine, 2nd port is Clutchtown though. 2p.

Broke the spares up a little more, thinking I'm gonna have to bin / sell for pennies a lot of the odd bits I stripped from the shell as they're a bit random! @vwdeviant, those ABS sensors are ready and waiting, rear ones still attached to axle but just looks like a 2-min allen key job! @CazzaVR, rear calipers in better condition than I thought, pistons are still shiny under all the cack! Both came off the axle very easily and both bleed nipples non-seized!! (Call Guinness Book of Records, Quick! :lol: ) @ProdigalSon, rest of the ABS stuff waiting for you, including that cylinder should you want it. Still has black paint/label on so deffo in VGC.

You really need to search buddy, there are dedicated threads for this kind of thing!!

Same. Spent 5 years trying to work out what to do at uni, and now i'm here I'm loving it! :D

In short Cazza, yes new clutch time! I would put real money on it being the clutch seeing as it's doing what my Golf did last year. Today, i rifled through the bits from the stripped shell and dismantled the subframe and parts attached thereto.

It's not a VR mate, read his sig! :lol: He's just thinking about replacing his G60 clutch with a VR6 item.

I don't want to have to pull it apart later on though as I know there's tons more stuff to do in the bay. I should make a shotlist of urgents and see if I have the funds for them...

Fraid not matey, didn't take the doors with the shell. You could try Danny Allen and see if he still has them, but I think he scrapped everything that was left :(

yeah, they should all be replacable bulbs which you can screw out the back of the pcb, iirc.

Carbon build up perhaps, have you tried using intake / carb cleaner on it?

Gorgeous car matey! Love the colour... The one I...ahem.... "liberated" was Moonlight also, but you could barely tell under the grime.

I knew you'd say that... :lol: and I still say RR!

Why does my burgundy suck so hard? Recurring annoying issues from a little pootle tonight are: rev limiter cutting in at 5000rpm.... w h y???? (possible fooked dizzy?) the whole front end floppier than Graham Norton in the All-Female Swedish Volleyball team's shower room... don't think this front end bush renewal can wait until the summer... :( Answers on a postcard! By a postcard, I mean "right here on the forum" Thanks :D

agree on rolling road, who wants to keep driving up and down a road stopping all the time to adjust their cam timing?

Remember that different grade oils will be in different states at those temperatures, so what is a fine oil temp in one car could well be shell melting in another. I'd sh*t a brick if my MAF told me oil temp was 130 deg in any car. 2p.

^^^ or the clutch. It's still behaving _a lot_ like my 16v did last year when the clutch / diaphragm release plate snapped in half.

I've met the man, and now i'm meeting the legend!?! :shock: :shock: :shock:

Yeah looks very dark! cheers for the crazy photos... did you threaten to snap at that red mini that got in the way at Saino's r'bout? he shot off in a hurry! :lol: dirty diesel fake minis...

Yeah you missed something indeed bro, I sold the brake master cyl....one with the reservoir on top? Anyways leaving now, catch you in 5.

Mine seems to have been dubbed 'Ron' by CazzaVR. Doesn't take a scientist to work out why! :lol:

I think we pulled a spare cylinder off Danny's shell that we ripped up, was an ABS unit too. Bro, we should sling that on and potentially order a new clutch anyways as you're prob putting out around 200ftlb of torque on a std clutch :shock:

I take it yours is far right in that photo, Junkie? Looks like it has a scoop! :lol:
