    ah really , so a 32 is the new 30? mines a 30 in there at the mo

    ive got a misfire on the g60...swaped the plugs n leads and its still there , dizzy cap is nearly new and looks fine wondered what symtons the ecu relay gives ? and are they expensive?
  3. steveo29
    probably be best off selling that filter and getting a standard airbox with the paper filter , the biggest worry on a g60 is clean air , if its sucking dirty air then the charger will be full of grinding paste

    cat bypass should effect the mot as its old enough to not need it golfs over here never had cats , but i recon theyd be the same fitment , id lean under and check the approx length and flange style and compare to what you are buying
  5. steveo29
    think ported standard ones are the way to go , stainless ones are mostly for lhd cars and melt the steering boot
  6. steveo29
    im considering one of those in situ wheel bearing tools that winds the bearings in i cant suss how it would get the drive flange off though? any ideas
  7. steveo29
    so how will gentle warming form it in corners etc , i can imagine it would just crinkle up ?
  8. steveo29
    you mention heat gunning it to shape , have you tried this ? im no carpet whizzo but most carpets will melt /ruin the fibres if its heated enough to shape it

    ive used jabba in the past , never again g werks seem better , bit slack on calling back and what not but the work was ok
  10. steveo29
    theyre pretty random , classic parts has a few random stickers and odds n ends for old golfs etc , but dont seem intrested in keeping parts that are needed to keep the car on the road id try speedy cables
  11. steveo29
    only came on g60 engines..so golfs/rado/rallye its the same internaly as many other bosch units , any repair place should be able to refurb it , or new brush packs usualy restore full power
  12. steveo29
    yeah as said you really need to know what it is you have , theres green /grey/red injectors commonly in use , then the fpr issue and many differant pully sizes will run bad possibly causing damage if you use the wrong combo

    only air con cars came with 90a , std is 65 amp
  14. steveo29
    yeah sound like the silencer box , be a good time to get rid and fit a rsr or similar
  15. steveo29
    pull the o2 sensor plug...if the engine runs normaly then yes thats the problem with the manifold leak otherwise , check you havent pinched any vac hoses and that the ecu one is on the correct nip
  16. steveo29
    thrott switches take 5 mins to check with a multimeter
  17. steveo29
    club40 have them for £6 and £1 postage...ive gone with that
  18. steveo29
    no vw has never sold them , and last i heard g werks wont sell parts only in house refurbs , they never respond to any emails either
  19. steveo29
    i want to swap the charger belt on the g60..the small timing belt one any ideas who sells quality ones at decent prices
  20. steveo29
    doesnt look that awefull its an old car afterall , remember alot you see on forums have been tinkered with alot having had those kind off bits painted or replaced earlier in thier life , or the cars have been babied and not used in the winter my golfs that get used aint much differant , ive repainted all the running gear , those disc covers do tend to get scabby anyway you wana worry about the bits that dont bolt on , like the sills /floor etc , thats 10x more expense to make right
  21. steveo29
    no car uses water ...its leaking out or burning it
  22. steveo29

    lambda sensor

    steveo29 replied to rado94's topic in Engine Bay

    easy to swap BUT chances are yours is seized like a mofo , so expect some swearing
  23. steveo29

    exhaust ????

    steveo29 replied to pilky1234's topic in Engine Bay

    no similar on early rados , but the tailpipe is wrong
  24. steveo29
    most of the ones ive seen are black inside yeah clean it up but id stay away from blasting unless you can clean it 100% as a stray bit of grit will cause more agro any machine shop should be able to dunk it in something nasty and clean it up nice for cheap
  25. steveo29
    yeah looks normal suprised non of you have had a 8v rocker cover off before
