Browsing u tube and there is an article that there may be a new corrado for 2026
Do not know if it just a spoof but looking at the images it looks amazing
My 92 G60 has recently seen a drop off in performance
so decided to do a bit of an inspection
First i done a compression test and was quite surprised by the readings - all between 155 - 160 psi all within limits
When i had the head off previously there were rings starting to appear at the top of the bores
At times when i start it at times there is a ticking noise which disappears when the engine reaches around 60oC
I have put new hydraulic cam followers in (INA) during a head rebuild
I do not know if this is pinking as i not familiar with the issue - Knock sensor?
Any way i have had an issue with a minor coolant leak around the water pump so decided to see where it is coming from
Also decided to replace the belt on the charger although virtually no real mileage its been around 6 years from i rebuilt the charger
Took of the silencer and found it full of sludge (grey in colour)
If it was oil would it be this colour ?
Is my charger done? or need another rebuild?
I have no doubt the intercooler will be full of this mess too
Opinions please

That is amazing work and always nice to see another G60
My car is due some engine work - i have noticed a serious drop off in performance
Agree with you with regards to the intercooler set up - That is a great set up you have done there without having an ugly intercooler hacked into the bumper
Still look in practically every day
Still have the G60 but due to go for its winter hibernation
Still have various projects ongoing when i have the time which is not a lot at present
I got one of these kits from dave recently - although i have not fitted it yet as my car has been put away for winter
It looks a well engineered modification to the original mechanism
And for the money well worth it
From what i remember these parts fit either side of the rear bench base just below the carpets
As above they are sound deadening foams
If you look at etka / vagcat it will give you an idea of where they go
