yeah so much for em lasting 40k or so

ive got a rebuild kit....i was told by a couple of peeps to freeze the bearings and heat the charger with a hot air gun.......but that outlet one looks tricky, how should i approach that

not much....prob under 10k, carefully driven and serviced i might add

okay..heres my g60 , note the shabby passat in background :lol: lots of jabba goodness in here 8) note the strips are short in places...is that right :roll: how do i change this center bearing?? look tricky :oops: just random pics here...anything look bad?? i dont think the porting was up to much :mad: any thing i can do with this?? should i grease it or what? also i note some of the seals..the black ones are vag, i wonder if theyre original?? and does anyone know if seals are color coded for grades?? the new ones are brown..old are blue??

get something with a warrenty

ive noticed over the last couple of weeks my g60 bogs when the engine is cold...like within 2-3 miles from my house..it will bog/stumble if i take my foot off and re apply after a corner or something everything checks out as far as i can tell...although i did recently get another sns chip...can anyone confirm if they affect the cold running??

could something have dropped into the inlet while you were polishing the tb??? makes me wonder if something fell in there and tipped a valve

back of the rocker cover...in the middle

what engine

look into a council garage ...try and find a nicer area nearby, mine costs under £30 a month as for long term storage...get it jacked up with the wheels off, and maybe some fresh engine oil, make sure it washed underneath and nice n dry before you leave it prob worth starting and running up once a month or so

i ordered one from jmr....the fit looked so bad i ebayed it try a quality item like supersprint

how about getting some £1 shop caulking guns and selling em ebay .."g60 motorsport tool 19.99"

not a bad idea that :)

ive been playing with my 16v k jet on a wideband tuner...ive got it hanging around 13.5 give or take a bit but when i hit 6k revs it goes into the upper 12s ive fiddled with the "hidden" wur screw to get it best i can how does those figures sound...is 12.x too rich

dodgy idea running a chip that your not sure of...has it got a sns number on it?? maybe bilal would be able to say if its suitable

makes me wonder if jabba used some extra cheap bearings around the time these chargers were made? i watched em do mine and they were no name brand bearings they used

have a good listen ..you should know if its the inj if you want a upgrade, go for new red inj they'l be cheaper and new ones are better than ebay junk

mines been okay so far...had a few "issues" with jabbas work though

ive always sent of a spare connector to http://www.vehiclewiringproducts.co.uk and they match em up

did it just go?? any loss of boost or wierd noises before

thats the symtoms of big end shells, mine rattled at 2.5-3k and new shells fixed it

anyone?????? how have you blanked off you pipes?????

what do people use to blank off the vac pipes ...i want mine to look smart

yeah i pushed it down..as do alot of others on here, just get something thick in your hand so it doesnt hurt . it is hard work but it just goes on, it helps if you sort of bounce all you weight onto it suddenly rather than slowly trying to compress it

you cound try a strap/chain wrench thing like you use for oil filters to hold it still as for getting the belt on...i fit the belt onto all the pulleys and then get a nice thick rag/welding glove and heave down onto it with the palm of my hand, first time i tried it , i needed my dad to help push down, but now im so fat i can do it easy.
