Is the sunroof motor working properly on tilt and slide? Is it an easy changeover do you know? Mines the usual tilt but no slide. Thanks.
-
Poll250 let me know if that was the case! Thought it may be a setting on the head unit for an amp input which could possibly explain drawing more current (?) though not sure, will check connections in the doors and rear shelf to see if that makes any difference on the weekend. Although it has done it for as long as I've had the car? And it has never really been overly bass'y the time I've had it. Looked through the manual but see any setting for an amp.mmmmm.

When I got the car the guy before me had a sub wired in, but had taken it out and left the wiring in there. At the mo all that's running off it is a pair of 6*9's, and some jvc mids in the doors and standard dash tweeters. Nothing major. Just using the battery supply. Excuse the ignorance but what are powercaps? Do you think it's a setting on the head unit itself? Or would I have to remove the sub and sub earth wiring from behind it? Any help would be appreciated, thanks boost monkey.
-
Not too up on car audio, and most of the time it is fine unless I crank it the whole head unit will just turn off and then turn back on again. Is it an earth issue? It's an Alpine cd981rb if that helps. Thanks.
-
Any word on the door cards? Also, has the number plate recess been smoothed on the front bumper? And would you split the bumper lights? Looking for passenger side indicator if it is in better nick then mine. Interested in all these things if available at the right price :-) thanks mate.

Well, touch wood, it seems I may have cured the corrado. Replaced the main earth on the inlet manifold, but it was the small ring connector on the small earths attached to the water flange on the side of the head that seems to have done the trick. Been running fine for nearly a week, fingers crossed :-)
-
Don't suppose you have a good set of ht/ignition leads with what you have left? Thanks.
-
Have I read that right, door cards £5? If so I could collect, live in Swansea but not too far to travel. Also, have you got a good set of ht/ignition leads on the car at all? Thanks. What other goodies have you got? :-)
-
Gonna have a go at this tonight. Well, clean all the contacts to the earths and have a poke around to see if I can find pinpoint the problem. That would be nice, had enough of not knowing! Yeah I wasn't sure about the leads causing the stall either, but will replace anyway to tick off the list. Will let you know my findings!
-
I replaced the coil to throttle body on the back of the inlet manifold, but didn't seem to make any difference. I was told that one of the two small wires bolted over the water flange on the side of the head was an earth too. Do you know or not? I have yet to add any earths, but will hold back if it messes with the ecu. Also, would it be worth changing the earth from the battery then? The plugs were changed for the correct Bosch w6po items iirc, have got the invoice in the house. the problem persists regardless of whether it's on full/ partial throttle, idle, cold, warm! That's why it's driving me so nuts, as well as the fact it is not consistent. But somehow is worse at the mo.
-
Thanks enthusiastowned, I'll check them out. It may be a possibility as I havnt changed either of those 3 items since having the car nearly 2 years ago. Probably be worth changing the leads anyway for that reason. Andycowuk, got a friend who's a hive of knowledge when it comes to G's, he's convinced it's an earthing issue, but having replaced some of the earths and it still happening I wonder whether it could be leads now. Bearing in mind that I had changed the plugs recently and trying to think what has changed, and that leads obviously lead off from the plugs it could well be that.
-
That's a good call. Maybe in my naiveity to look at the leads seemed fine and that's why I hadn't thought about them. But also was thinking about the things I have changed since puttin the charger back on and never had a problem with the leads beforehand. could it be the cause of the cutting out though? Will look into replacing them, can anyone suggest a good set of leads at a good price? Have spent too much on sorting the car out already!
-
Right, got a genuine vw ecu relay and of course the problem persists. A friend of mine is convinced it could be an earthing problem so I guess next on the list is to set about replacing and adding earths to see if it makes any difference. I'll have a look at the temp and o2 sensors/senders, do you think it could realistically be a factor in why the car is having these problems? Am at a bit of a loss at the mo and just trying to get as much advice and info as I can. It goes on!
-
For the sake of a tenner Ill replace it anyway. One thing I can tick off too. That is if I can look at the car without getting annoyed ha. Thanks steveo29. Has anyone else had any similar experiences and can shed any light???? ---------- Post added at 12:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 AM ---------- Can I get the relay from the dealers? Or is it a generic relay from GSF or summit?

Aaaaarrrggh, I'm this close to breaking out the baseball bat! After running faultlessly for nearly two weeks, one trip to telco and it ran like a bag of s**t. Is there anyone out there that could explain as to why this is happening so inconsistently? Next thing is if it stays dry later I'm gona pull all the plugs out to see if any one of them is more worse for wear than the other, bearing in mind they are brand new. But could this cause the cutting out or just the misfiring. Someone help please!
-
Thanks pbradley98, am open to look at all possibilities! I'm 90% sure it's something to do with an earth, backtracking to when I put it all back together I realised that there was a small earth on the side of the distributor housing that had come off. I reattached it but of course the problem persists, however slightly less I think! I think there is another earth bolted to the water donate on the right side of the head,im wondering whether I might of snapped the wire by accident, I wasn't sure at the time cos to look at it you wouldn't notice. But felt something when moving it. Thats the next port of call I think, then onto another no doubt ha.........

Hey all, I'm about to go a bit mental unless anyone can shed any light on this! I have a '91 g60 that I recently had the charger rebuilt and stage 4'd and 68mm pulley added. It already has an Sns chip too. When I put the charger back in I changed the plugs, filters and oil. Ever since it's been back on the road it seems to cut out for no apparent reason on idle, for example sitting at the lights, and misfiring/losing power when putting your foot down. The most frustrating thing is its not continuous, the car will be fine for a couple of weeks and then one morning drive like a bag of crap. I've checked the leads, and plugs, and the distributor cap, as well as the fuelling sensor on the intake pipe before the manifold. Could it be the wiring to the isv? Or the injectors? Or maybe fuel pump? Or an earthing issue??? Any suggestions or advice would be much appreciated! For the sake of my sanity, please help! Thanks a lot peeps.

Don't think you can get any more 'scene' than a set of BLQ's on a nu wave dub these days. Not too sure if they work on a rado, but that's just my opinion :-)
-
Have you gone onto matey-matey.com and gone through the g60 tuning guide on there pete? I know part of it has been posted up but it seemed to make some sense when I read it on there! But yeah, confusing! Talk to Ravi, the man with all the answers! Which reminds me rave I need to give your headlights back! To be honest, it sounds like a good 'ol boost gauge would make it easier to understand.
-
What jim said! The workmanship was never in dispute, and the appropriate measures seem to have been taken to get the customer service back on track. So all in all, I reckon g- werks will be back in everyones good faith very soon indeed.
-
Has the tailgate got the us number plate plinth on it aswell? What's the colour? I'm interested! Even with the slight delay of this reply :-) Thanks.

Sounds promising Darren, and good that you have come on the forum to reply to the posts on here. Personally, I'm pleased to hear the employment of extra staff that would deal with sales/communication and interaction with the customer. Upon receiving back my rebuilt and stage 4'd charger by you quite recently, I was really pleased with the workmanship, and that you had thrown some extra bits in due to the delay. Though it was the delay in getting my charger back, communication and general customer service that I felt had really let me down. Onwards and upwards as they say, and the changes that you have made sound great.
-
Hey Zak, sorry for the delay in getting in contact. I have now replied to your PM. Thanks mate.

A friend of mine sent his charger to jabba and couldn't speak more highly of them. The products, and most importantly in this case, the service. I think mine will be going there next time.
