yep thats it :salute:

removing that pipe makes lots of wooshing noises in the engine bay do you run the original air box or a cone filter ?

fitting the whole vw system would make it sound respectable ...i havent heard many non genuine systems that sound subtle apart from supersprint i assume the charger makes them hard to silence properly? :camp:

doesnt sound so good does it my g60 with a 2.5 sounds awefull too...im considering getting a vw system when i can afford it

theres a hole molded onto the gearbox end of the head...nothing else obvious , im sure i'll figure it out

been in today , all good ...friendly blokes had time for a chat and seemed to know a fair bit about vw's like youd expect everthing is stripped off , its not the kinda place you wander around and take stuff off

yeah got the engine support bar unsure where the proper engine lift points are on the g60 engine? any ideas

dont stress to much about getting the bay wet , theyre made to withstand driving through puddles and its good to rinse off any road salt thats got in there cover the dizzy and ecu , and dont direct water onto anything electrical take lots of pics if you are worried about putting it together , it does help alot taking stuff like the airbox , battery and washer bottle out i find it best to use a combination of cleaners , what one misses the other one gets , then some poundshop carb cleaner and a toothbrush on any grimey elec connectors once its done , wd40 all the elec connectors and grease the bonnet catch , cable and thrott linkage etc

you says its just a bit worn ? maybe consider a diy dye kit , ive used them with great results www.furnitureclinic.co.uk heres some pics, costs about £35 ish before prepped notice most of the cracks were in the old dye..its sanded nice and smooth after side by side with the un dyed one

just tie it up with some string or something yeah?

i need to fit a replacement engine subframe to my g60 obviously i know the basics...support engine , undo the bolts etc im thinking unbolt the rack and leave the rack on the car , i expect the pas pipes may be siezed ? any comments on the swap , what to look out for etc

its a fair sized place , heard nothing bad apart from the prices what dodgyness have you heard off ?

autosmart 101 cleaner very good for this kind of thing...about £10-15 for a 5ltr bottle that dilutes enough to last 10 yrs on alloy bits like gearboxes and inlets...use some strong alloy wheel cleaner to freshen em up

i meant to say , the large intercooler from a vwgolf rallye g60 does a splendid job , and can be made to fit reasonbly easy ,but they are jolly expensive

biggest one you can fit...rallye ones are nice but ££££££££

jabbas work hasnt good for some time now ive had problems with their rebuilds and know others that had them grenade at low miles be worth at lest getting a health check on it a gwerks

big intercooler

agreed mine can feel a bit sluggish and heavy as said without the boost its just a low comp 8v

didnt notice massive gains on mine , if you dewedge it they become jumpy at low speeds

theres a notch on each shaft that line up with a line cast into the housing, iirc it all lines up at 12 o clock position turn it a couple of times and recheck before starting

fit the dump valve in your nearest wheelie bin , they work best there :nuts:

dont think theres alot he can ajust on it tbh , it sorts itself out id spend the money on some tools instead , bung a local garage £10 to whack the emmisions sniffer up it if your that worried

put the voltemeter on the signal wire...once warmed up it should cycle between 0.1 - 0.9 volts every couple of seconds

if you post a pic of what you have next to a ruler or something i can have a guess at what gauge it is for example i redid my distributer loom and it matches up to 9.75 amp stuff pretty well from that site or you could ask if they can suplly a off cut in each size for you to compare

http://www.autosparks.co.uk/index.php?c ... ii20gtrk81 theyre cheap and have nearly every colour you can need , dunno what amp you need , best match it up to whats its going on ...
