Shows what a load of crap the 'green' element of the scrappage scheme is, it would be much better to use it to keep an old car going than to build one from scratch to save 100gms of CO2 a mile

Car transportation - need recommended companies!
leeeeshad replied to LisaK's topic in General Car Chat
theres a guy on the pistonheads forum who owns a car transport company, might be worth a try. -
Mine was £18 ish, but I dont know the part number but VW found it fine without one its really easy to change, just dont try re fitting it without taking out the old o ring like I did :epicfail:

My sub 1k (just) for the G60 doesnt seem so bad now, cheers guys :D

they have to put a certan % of bio fuel in the petrol but its not for profit, they have to do it by law, and it cost more than normal petrol.

The AA guy said 'nice car' yesterday, made me feel better about it not starting :lol:
-
cheers guys, i got it going in the end with a new battery, the old one was to small, which explains it taking ages to start on a good day
-
yesterday my car wouldnt start, called the AA and eventualy it started with the help of a jump he said it could be the blue temp sensor, it started after 2 attemps as usual after work and again at home once id replaced the temp sensor normaly my car takes 2 attempts to start, this morning i went to start it but it turned over for ages and ages without fireing, anyideas? its a 92 g60 with the icv removed and blanked off

Try rasing it by hand, take off the plastic cover inside the boot, pull out the knob to engage it and turn it, if its smooth and easy to turn then it sounds like the motor rather than the shafts.

I do :grin:

From the manual 'it must be possible to twist the belt 90o between the camshaft and intermediate sprokets'

all works now its lubed :D but not the idle is really high, can i a just it with the grub screw in the end of the isv? i moved it a bit when i was trying to get the valve working so that probably isnt helping.
-
Its already off the car (I bought it seperatly) how do i take the valve its self appart?

G60 Owners. What tyre pressures work for you ?
leeeeshad replied to shawshankkid's topic in Drivetrain
depends what youre trying to achieve boss. my method is 10 psi under max to allow for heat, but as stated this is because im lazy. Im sure VW allowed for heat anyway... -

leeeeshad replied to shawshankkid's topic in Drivetrain
I thought it was 33/38 but i agree either way it seams high, id be interested to hear what pressures other people use. -
HOW?
-
Thanks I'll check the voltages after work, I didn't lube it after cleaning, I couldn't work out how to take it apart lol
-
with the isv removed and the pipes blanked it idles at about 1300, and takes ages to start, but with the valve fitted its un driveable, any ideas? cheers.
-
Both switches work fine, I'm thinking the isv could be dead, the engine is acting the same way as it did when one of the blanks where the isv should have been leaked.
