Its the complete lack of comunication that I find so annoying. When I have managed to talk to Darren he's freindly enough, its hard not to like the guy, but why tell me the charger has been sent and he has pictures of the porting to send when it seams thats not the case. As I stated in my last unanswered email to G-werks:- "In the absence of any information regarding my delivery I can only make the assumption that the charger has either - not left G-Werks, been lost in transit or even damaged while at G-Werks. I also cannot understand:- Why this has gone on so long when we originally agreed on a 5 day turnaround from receipt at G-Werks to delivery to me (you have had this since the 1st June) Why it seams so difficult to send me the photos of the porting. Why it seams so difficult to send me a tracking number for my delivery. G-Werks have a good name in the industry for what they do which is why I do not understand the reason the customer service has been so disappointing, or why I have had to resort to writing sh1ty emails! Can you please acknowledge receipt of this email and urgently get in touch with me about this? I would also be interested to hear your thoughts on the above points." Sadly no reply yet to the above...............

Thanks, I think I have been more than patient before posting for all to see.

I really hope so, this has gone on long enough!

You would think someting as simple as a Stage 5 rebuild and return by post would be the sort of thing G-Werks would take in their stride, but sadly no! I contacted Darren to arrange to have my charger ported to stage 5 and rebuilt and was given a 5 day turnaround from receipt of charger at G-werks. They received it on the Wednesday 1st June in the late afternoon so I was expecting it back on the Wednesday 8th June (5 working days as agreed). The charger was opened and it was agreed it was in a fit state to carry out the work + money was paid (I even got a discount as some of the porting work had already been done) + supply of some photos of the porting carried out was promised. On the Thursday 9th June I spoke to G-werks and was told to expect it on Monday 13th June. Nothing arrived on Monday, or all that week despite various promises from Darren and again on Friday a promise of a Monday 21st Delivery. I have asked several times for a tracking number which has been promised but not provided. It appears that Rob no longer works at G-werks so no one is answering the phone so unless you are lucky it rings through to answer phone. I tried all day yesterday (Tuesday) to contact Darren and finally spoke to someone who could not help me as "Darren deals with Superchargers and is with a customer. He will call you back" I did not receive a call back. So today is Wednesday and I start the whole process again of phoning and not getting an answer..... I have tried emailing but never get an answer, so now I have to resort displaying my issues on a forum. I do not doubt G-werks ability to carry out the engineering side of this order but sadly the mechanics of placing it in a box and posting it back seam to be out of reach, but to complete the order that simple bit has to be done. I know a few of you on here will post back that you have not had any issues, well I myself have had work done in the past that I have been more than happy with. Its not about that its about the current unfinished/missing work. I now have a car without an MOT (as this has gone on so long) or a supercharger or any photos of the work carried and I have also paid out for the work to be done.

Is there a problem with the forum? The homepage and page display time is so slow, that I can't really use it. Other sites are fine and I have tried another PC. Any ideas?

A freind of mine has purchased a VR6 which has covered 140,000 miles. As far as he is aware the timing chains have never been changed. There are no signs of knocking or anything like that but for peace of mind he wants to change them. He is not mechanically minded but I am happy to tackle this for him but have no knowledge of the VR6 as I own a G60. Has anyone any advice or a "how to" guide they can share?

Bump

On the old Forum I could display a list of all the threads I had posted in. Is this still available?

Today I fitted a knife edge throttle and polished inlet to my G60. It started fine but I have idle problems. With the idle screw screwed right in I am running at 1000RPM increasing to 1100RPM when hot. It also hunts between these to figures sometimes. The car is SORN and there is only a small car park where it is stored so no power runs yet :-( Any ideas???

I know this is an old thread but did anyone download the guide mentioned above as the website is now a domain holding page.

Red G reg Corrado seen on the M6 around junction 18 travelling south at about 2pm. In the fast lane :D

2 please

You may find it easier to get an exchange caliper from someone like europarts. I did this for both my fronts when a similar thing happened.

Classic :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Mine just turned up too :D Thanks for all the effort Alex :clap:

Nothing yet :( Hopefully tomorrow...

Nothing here either.....

This might be worth a read, I had an itermitent oil light problem and it cost me an engine. http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=81705&hilit=+oil

Dark coloured Corrado pulling out of Tesco extra carpark in Northwich this evening. Sorry for the poor detail it was dark and I nearly missed it :shock:

Thats dedication it must have been freezing :shock:

Same thing happened to me. I have managed to reshape the damaged material with a hammer and metal chisel. I have asked a friend who works with sheet metal to sort out a plate to weld in place. It seams that the original metal was too thin or the hole for the bolt was too big. Maybe my cars previous owner liked to do alot of handbrake turns!

I have the common problem where my blower fan will only work on speed 4 and have replaced the thermal overload on several occasions now (as shown in the Wiki). The problem now is the overload does not last, sometimes it will last days and other times weeks :mad2: . I have tried using a slightly higher temperature overload and attaching the replacement using terminal block in case the heat of the soldering iron is damaging it but it makes know difference. Any ideas :scratch:

I have a pdf copy. PM me and I will send you a disk :D
