Did the wheels return to the same corners that they were originally fitted too?
-
Its possible, maybe my over pressure valve is stuck open rather than shut? John Blount has a new pump fitted and says his is quite dry too, mines done 107K so not a huge mileage. The crank seal weeps a bit, clutch makes a strange whine at times and needs care to pull away smoothly, but even with its faults I'd rather drive it than spanner it.....

Mines very tappety on cold starts up days, it had a genuine oil filter and oil change a week ago making no difference, I'm used to seeing the cam lobes flick a little oil around as they rotate like on other cars I've owned, not in this case.
-
Just to add, mine passed its MOT last week after a service, also replacing the CTS, fuel pump (noisy) and filter (ancient) after failing the week previous on emissions - the readings pointed towards CTS being the culprit, the other items were on my to do list.

I have vagcom but don't know how to access what you want. I have a spare sensor I could measure the resistance cold?
-
That was across the blue plug, similar with neg probe on the neg of the battery, battery terminals read 12.8v after idling for a min or so with engine off Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

VR6 wiring is there too

G60 ecu is similar to MK2 digifant but has lambda etc, if you're a member of CGTis forum I'm sure you'll get an answer from Rubjonny or others who'll know what voltage should be at the plug.

I seem to remember another nick t on another forum who owned a delorean?

You'd have to drill the holes very (one for the sensor body and one for its retaining screw) accurately to give the correct air gap for the sensor / reluctor ring. A VR6 stub should be the same and more common, just using it with a 4 stud disk. I presume you're using it for speedo purposes rather than retro fitting abs to your MK1?

If the over pressure relief valve is jammed then it possible the pressure seen at the tappets is huge - way beyond its preset 7 bar max, oil will force its way in to the tappet but can't get out hence the jacking and the valve not closing. A stall is not a big deal in a manual car, but an auto where you have to select neutral or park and then crank the starter can be nasty in busy traffic.
-
I bled around 3L through mine, 3 times at each corner with the compensation valve forced open (without it the pressure to the rears is reduced). Even then the pedal wasn't great for the first 100 miles or so - it was low but never went to the floor.
-
They are a swine to bleed especially if they've been completely drained to replace the pump. What method have you used to bleed the system? pressure bleeder or two man method? Did you force open the rear compensation valve on the rear axle? Did you bleed off the nipples on the master cylinder and the abs pump?
-
Hydraulic "tappet jacking", the pressure is so high the tappets can't cope and hold too much oil to the point the valves don't close fully, hence Rev the engine to 4000 rpm when cold before allowing it to stall, attempt to restart and the engine will turn over faster than normal as there's little compression until the tappets have purged some of the oil.
-
When the engine is running and you remove the filler cap can you see oil on the camshaft or does it appear quite dry? Mine's rather dry............

Some early g60s didn't have abs, you need the holes and retaining pin for the sensor Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
