  1. is your car an early model? as im sure there is differences in how the exhaust hangers on the car and on the system itself between 88-92 is early and anything after is late ? im sure that you have a late style exhaust system there in your pics with staight bars instead of the hook ones used on early models
  2. if WBX6DAN doesnt need it i'll take the charger return pipe with the small rubber breather for the rocker cover on (the pipe furthest right in IMAG0219) ? How much posted ?
  3. Good effort !! i brought some interior bits off you about two years ago for mine and looks like youve been busy 8) .....good luck with it mate
  4. yeah i recently replaced the rear speaker shelves and was fairly amazed at how bodged in the upgraded speakers were into my existing shelves (probably why they rattled and squeaked so much) sorted that out though with some fiddling in regards to your new speakers which have a plastic face surrounding the top of the speaker im gonna go as far to say you will find it almost impossible to fit them with the plastic lip as the speaker shelf had a sort of basket underneath the speaker shelf where the arse of the speaker hangs(Where your is labelled GT6428) and this is a pretty snug fit for my speakers just take the shelves out the car and trial with you new speakers and see how you get on (much easier to fit this way)
  5. second dibs on these cash waiting based in cambs (it's Stewart Adams cousin)
  6. Yeah things are good cheers mate im gonna have to come up and check out your G60 again i'll give Adam a bell soon Well I've come round to the idea of booking mine into the garage to get her a MOT in the coming weeks (crapping myself) and getting some bits done so i should hit the road in early Feb .......still need to bed the charger in aswell i really wanted those leather seats *shakes fist*
  7. Hey martin its Adam's cousin !!! unlucky with the scrape in a car-park that's a real shi**er .....otherwise the car is coming along good and looking amazing (best colour) 8)
  8. To be honest an ebay account is essential as the majority of parts are now obselete from VW parts and looking on the parts for sale on here plus cars being broken up for spares http://www.arz-tuning.de/shop/index.php/language/en/MSsid/8qlse2f7cdo7g4htamqf9kcg2ln8a0m6 you can get a heap of corrado stuff on here buts its bloody expensive (based in germany) http://spoonfedtuning.myshopify.com/ they do bespoke corrado trim parts and theyre pretty pricey but extreemly well made (based in america) http://www.awesomegti.com/car/vw/corrado (based in UK) also your local motor shop will be able to get you parts i'll often get bits from them that VW cant offer anymore
  9. thermostat can also cause weird running temps i beleive
  10. i'll take the chip on its own if its still for sale ?

  12. Hello all so basicly my G has been off the road since feb this year and ive started it up and moved it about every weekend pretty much with no trouble although mine has always had an issue with starting first time its fine when warm but when cold it usually takes two turns of the key (its been like this for two years) so today i went to start it up and i'll usually leave it to warm up and get things moving ect and it started after the second turn of the key and then died after about 30 seconds of running ( it didnt splutter even slightly just died imediatly) i turned it over again it started .... ran for 10 seconds then died and now its dead and will only crank over but wont fire? not really sure what to check tbh ? also i can hear a buzzing from the ISV and an actual pulse can be felt by hand from it when the key is live in the ignition. I should also mention that my alt is not currently charging and i trickle charge batterys off the car and alternate them so i can fire the car any advise would be great cheers
  13. fram or fran g60 filters? are still available from my local car bar shop about a tenner inc vat
  14. yeah im after the tensioner in the pic (mine is far to easy to fit currently)........ dont supose you know how much VW charge for one ? what condition is yours in ? how much where you thinking ? as i was looking at getting one new tbh just so i know its not going to fail for years to come cheers
  15. I need a new alt and my spring drive belt tensioner is pretty rusty and the rubbers are shot so im wondering where to get these bits and how much they might be.... Also is the 90 amp alt the preffered item over the 60 ? Any help is appreciated! Cheers
  16. I take mine to VWcars meadow business park reach Road burwell CB250GH 01638743101 it's a little bit out the way but i had loads of bad experiences with all the local garages so i only go to there now you want to speak to Vince there he deals with the older cars there i cant recomend them enough really helpfull and professional
  17. Hello and congrats on a good choice by getting a G' !!!! im just down the road from you mate im in St.Ives couple of my buddies live in goddie. if you need another pair of hands anytime then lemme know !
  18. i'll get about 350- 400 miles to a tank but allot of that is driving on my own to work and then allot of short evening runs ect so mixed driving i often see over 40 MPG(my highest being 47mpg) ......but even if i give it some serious bean, i dont often see less than 30 which is very good really i think it also depends of how many people are in the car because when im four up i really strugle to break 30's lol + correct tyre pressures make a huge difference i find

    G60 65mm pulley

    yeah to be fair you shouldnt really redline on a 68MM pully to often..... but showing up an ST focus or the like is allot of fun lol good luck with the 65mm mate and check out Bar-Tek's other stuff theyre REALLY good for G60 parts so buy a few and save on freight(or give them to me) lol
