olly...im pretty sure you cant get that linkage, although i remember someone said radio control planes/copters use similar ends...maybe try a good modelshop as for the loom its the same on all 8v digi's and its around 45-50 notes from vw....http://www.vehiclewiringproducts.co.uk sell the ends if you wish to make your own to save a bit...i had to send mine in so they could match it, i then made the new one in some heat resistant sleeve that i robbed off a scrap cars o2 sensor
-
they should be able to match you up fairly well off the shelf you would benifit from the no lag feature on sns chips best thing you can do is email bilal and have chat about what mods youve got
-
i have tried starting with a slight touch of throttle etc.....it shoots round to 2k whatever i do..it does settle to normal quickly though
-
from asking around others have said 1300-1400 which would be more suitable 2000 revs just sounds nasty on a cold start
-
ive had my car for a long time now..its always revved to hard on cold starts it will wizz straight round to over 2k and then settle as nomal, from what i hear from others 1300 ish is more like normal ive been through most of the car over the years, heres a list of whats been checked/swaped 3 sensors on head and wiring wur new inj vac hoses isv and controller lift pump throttle switch tried diff ecu none of that lots changed it all all, ive tried playing with fuel pressure/timing etc any expert advise please
-
i must be in the wrong game....if i could get £210 to reseal 4 wheels id be laughing.
-
the screens arent a problem, i have a 2wd g60 that has the bonded one, my windscreen fitter says they stock aftermarket ones and vw can get proper vag ones as for fitting it..theyre the same as any other bonded screen, and if your not fussed the rubbered in screen can be fitted if you buy a rubber from a regular golf
-
thanks for the offer on the engine..i think id sooner repair this one if i can
-
sorry its not a corrado, but i could use some advice our mk2 polo has spat out number 1 plug and theres no threads left on the head im hoping to attempt to helicoil it in situ can anyone offer any advise, what tools will i need, how long should it take, how should i keep swarf out of plug hole etc any advise at all, never used or seen a helicol before what thread do i need?
-
the gaiter is a fail but i think minor damge on the steering end is accepted, although its not good really
-
new ones are around the £100 mark i was also told to get a new dist when mine had a flat spot, i got one and no change...in the end i brought a wideband kit and discovered it was very rich in the top end
-
its for one side, it includes circlips and a driveshaft nut
-
henny....any particular brand or weight of oil??
-
yes vw sell syn gear oil. although its not vw specific so most garages should have some
-
looks like a no then, thanks anyway
-
body work - dealer - sounds a bit cheap!!....

id insist the bumper is removed from the car..much better results that way i used to work at a dealer...tbh people wont pay much more than 150 to paint a bumper -
henny...what combo is that?? colorblind...the official answer is sealed for life, but its wise to change it , the level plug is a 17mm hex on the front of the box, best to look up at from underneath
-
mine has clutch judder once in a while....with everyday use its fine, but if i park up for like a week in the winter when its all damp n horrible out..the first time i use the car it will judder for the first few junctions...i think maybe the friction plate is holding the damp and it drys out with a little heat from driving its done that for 3-4 yrs and got no worse
-
well oilman has suggested a semi syn may help my dodgy syncros as it would be less slippery than fully syn
-
so you cant really say if its any better or not if your box is fresh?
-
when i got my g60 i changed to redline mt90 because thats what eveyone else was using the syncros are not great ..hasnt got any worse sinse ive had it but theyre not perfect just wondered if theres any miricle product :lol: thats makes the best out of a bad situation??? ive already spoken to oilman fro his advise, just wondered what your all using
-
ive made a couple of amp racks to hide amps on mk2 golfs....i wondered if they may fit corrados too any one got a pic of this area on a corrado please

What Oil Temp Does Your G60 Show At Motorway Speed?
steveo29 replied to juloesG60's topic in Engine Bay
mines 100-106 with the factory cooler -
dont believe the posh cars take care....if they can afford a nice new motor , chances are they will trade it for another one soon usualy the mothers that pull up in merc estates ...kids fling all the doors open has any considered parking closer to people...cus if you car catches the last inch of travel from their door its gona be a good dent....but if they cant get much of swing maybe theyd be more carefull???? id pay extra to park if they had big spaces for fussy people...they could have a logo lik the mother and child spaces etc
-
gav...did you tell him how much chip wizzard will charge him?? prob cheaper to get it towed to g werks lol
