  1. Nice,cheers buddy. Anyone know why they're there in the 1st place? I assume its like a thermostat or pressure regulator? Jus wanna make sure im not gonna have issues if i remove them
  2. Hi, have a look at my post titled heater cold on idle or something similar.sounds like u may have same fault of sticking valves on the pipes that feed the matrix.
  3. Brilliant,thanks guys,i dont think my matrix is leaking as i dont appear to losing any water and my carpets are dry,apart from all the bloody snow melting when i do eventually get someheat in there,lol. Now u mention it think i had a similar problem with a mk2 golf years n years ago,at the time i cut down the wifes brush handle and used that,think ill try the vw route this time. Thanks again
  4. Hi guys, I was wondering if someone might b able help? I recently bought a g60 and have carried out alot of work: Charger rebuild,stg4, chip n pulley Pipewerx decat and full system Full service,cap leads arm plugs,cotton air filter etc... Cambelt Happy days,youd think. Since i bought the car it has taken a long time to get the water hot and as soon as i hit m/way speeds it cools right down again.simple case of a missing thermostat, i replaced this with a genuine vw one at weekend.i ran car up to temp with heater pointing to hot,all went well. It now reaches operating temp nice and quickly and stays hot on the m/way. My problem is i only get heat from the heater if im driving,ie not at idle.even if i start it from cold and run to temp without moving it blows cold.as soon as i give it some rpm along comes the warm stuff.same if i stop in traffic it goes cold despite the gauge and water being hot.it also appears to have had a new waterpump fitted prior to me buying it. Any ideas greatly appreciated
  5. thanks, i'll talk to g-werks again, gonna give the guy at pipewerx a call aswell. Thanks for the offer on the chip n pulley but im looking for new parts and will probably end up gettin a load of stuff from g-werks, hopefully with some sort or warranty and maybe discount... :confused4:
  6. Hi all, I've just bought my first 'rrado,at last. She's a '91 G60 wiv 98k on the clock. I would appreciate some advice. I have no evidence of the charger being rebuilt so this is my first port of call,along with smaller pulley and chip from G-werks. It will be my daily drive so would like an increase in power without ruining reliability.so hopefully the above will see to that. My problems are: I would like to run a bigger oil cooler but am unsure how many rows or where's the best/easiest place to mount it? It bein a '91,does it mean there's a cat? I've had a quick look underneath and cant see anything. The reason i ask is i need a complete zorst,i dont want anything silly but do want stainless steel,would you guys recommend off the self like magnex etc or custom made powerflow etc? Any recommendations most welcomem i live in north manchester area if anyone wants to recommend any suppliers. Thanks, Ric
