    Im still in :) can do the £20 here
  2. floppyman
    Just do one... Clean it proper and inspect... I did on mine and it turned out some one beffore sprayed the car without removing the strips, doesnt look good
  3. floppyman
    I recommend none of the above.... Mt90 or castrol smx.... If you fancy a trip down to london ill do you a gear oil change with smx for £30. It takes about 3 liters
  4. floppyman
    Same here... Apart from the b-roads
  5. floppyman
    Im in too
  6. floppyman
    Well im not shure if its the same noise as mine... But what I can confirm is i have lived with it for over 5 years now and using the car every day... I know it doesnt help but ive done everything on it apart from new valves and cylinder rebore... Ho... And crankshaft and conrods thats it. And still noise is there. Makes you think what ot could be?
  7. floppyman
    +1to that.... Get the passat

    It doesnt matter if the pump works or not. You would still have good working brakes all around. Bleeding brakes with the brake pedal is a big no no, but anyway. Where are you located? Maybe some one near you with vagcom to check for errors. I think you got to different problems, one of the rear brakes and the other with a fault with the abs system that makes the light go on
  9. floppyman
    How did you bleed the brakes? Did you use a pressure bleeder? When replacing abs units it can be a pain to bleed.
  10. floppyman
    Is there oil pressure from the abs pump for the rear brakes? If you dont have pressure on the rear calipers but have pressure in the pump I would say the rear brake bias valve is gone

    I recomend a cylinder leakage test instead of a compression check... Doubt very much it will be piston rings
  12. floppyman
    Every engine new or old will let some compressed air escape trough the piston rings or steam seals. So in short yes, a forced induction engine might cause more blow trough the breather, but this would only happen under boost situations. During idle it would be the same as a n.a engine.(at least on a g60 due to the boost bypass on the throttle body). How many miles is on yours? Have you done steam seals in the past?
  13. floppyman
    There will always be a bit of air coming from there, its normal due to the pressure in the crankcase. Youre better off doing a cylinder leakage test
  14. floppyman
    I had the same proplem. Did the same, now one key for all :)
  15. floppyman
    Must be nice... Get the bentley manual... A bit expensive but well worth... 1000+ pages
  16. floppyman
    Lol do you see now why I call this alarms/immobilisers a virus for cars.... They get every where
  17. floppyman
    The first runs were allways a bit like that... Maybe many people like me were looking at the mpg readings on the trip there

    g60 super charger

    floppyman replied to owen g60's topic in Wanted

    Hey did you manage to get it on the rollers again?
  19. floppyman
    Wow 222lbft... That must be a nice g60 to drive
  20. floppyman
    yes very nice day... and nice cars.. post your plots here http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?59704-27-Nov.-2011-RR-Day-Plots thanks Jim
  21. floppyman
    Great day... great cars. Show us your plots and summary Here`s mine
  22. floppyman
    Alternator might be shot... What voltage you get at the battery with the car running?
  23. floppyman
    Come on... Dont give up. Cant you bypass the thermoswicth and run a fan switch to the interior?
  24. floppyman
    Only if there is any play on them. If no play and still have some grease on the joint then its all good. Usually the rod ends go, the rod itself lasts
  25. floppyman
    Lol you wont regreat. :)
