-
is it worth doube checking the plug leads..a guy on the gti forum posted a similar prob..eventually it came out that the leads were on wrong
-
you cant always trust the mfa..does sond a little low,you could try removing and inspecting all the boost hoses..and spray soapy water on the joins while its running and watch for bubbles..also inspect the intercooler for stone damage how many miles are on the charger? and how much before the redline is your reading..mine goes up quite alot over the last few revs

g man...i pm'd you about getting one?? -
as it says really....i used to use jabba's bodged up tensioner devise...ive now got a new tensioner and would like the right belt..and where do i buy it thanks
-
sounds like the dodgy bonnet switch to me...mine used to play up in heavy rain, i altered the wiring to the pin switch,ajusted the opertaing height and greased it up...seems ok now clifford can be troublesome,but i guess theyre as good a it gets...mine nearly caught fire with a toad fitted :cry:
-
did you put the leads on the cap in the right order?
-
theyre about £10-12 for new ones...mine will melt the frost on em by the time ive scraped the windows
-
more advance shows a higher vac reading or would you call it lower vac....heres an example 6 deg timing= -12hg 7 deg =-14hg(example only)
-
i thought the old 6 pointer was best?
-
the switch is cheep ..around £8 iirc, try a new one
-
so how did you fix it?...new/used crank or reuse the old one
-
so how come other cars like 16v and 8v gti dont seem to suffer? if ive got the 6 should i leave it?...and to those that changed em,how the hell did you loosen it? i was under the impresion that they failed due to movement on the keyway? and that however strong the bolt is if there slack in the key way then it would fail..and what the hell do you use to remove the remaining bolt?
-
can you tell by if its a 6 or 12 point weather its the good un
-
so if mine is original untouched it "should" be okay?....and if i disturb it use a new dx bolt i dread the day i have to loosen that bolt.. :oops:
-
i seem to be reading alot that the g60 crank bolt can snap. is it just random bad luck? does having a modded engine cause it..anything i can do to prevent mine snaping?...does it usually go when its been disturbed??
-
so what on average..£100? £200?...mine was done last xmas by jabba :x and id like it checked once its done a few miles
-
Beavis..does pitstop ffer this interim service??..what would it cost for a 25k inspection /light service?

-

-

-
theres no boost at idle...get a pukka gauge for a true reading
