Setting the ignition timing/possible boost problems/Tappets
steveo29 replied to laurielaeks's topic in Engine Bay
usualy have to put vice grips on the lower part of the dizzy and wrestle it free , soak it in penetrating oil first , might also need to move the fan housing to get a swing on it -
worst i guess would be swell all the rubber parts in the engine and find they all leak 6/12 months down the road ?
-
if its a small leak id wait until you can fix it properly
-
its just the hel ones...no one else makes them
-
theres some company on clubgti sells replacements , they look pretty shonky though and they dont have the shaped metal pipe at each end best with a used set until someone can be bothered to make a accurate set
-
doesnt have that either lol
-
id not worry about not having a charger on , many folk "bypass" the charger when its blown and run the car without it

Any precautions after being SORN for 12 months
steveo29 replied to Derbyshire Paul's topic in Engine Bay
just so some local trips , theres a chance brakes could bind on etc , so keep local until you trust it -
from memory its around 8 or 9 psi...even full boost doesnt mean its in good health , best have some one that knows about them to take it apart at least inspect it if thats still too much , the small timing belt can be diy replaced for about £10 and would at least eliminate that from failing
-
most chargers had that from the factory assume no unless you have written proof
-
thanks for posting , its a bit steep ive seen whole boxes as low as £65 was kinda hoping someone had a damaged box laying around
-
i need a 2000 onwards shift tower from a 02j box , would consider whole box if cheap so thats stuff like mk4gti , cupra 20vt, audi tt looks like this
-
no such thing as a de cat version..just get a bosch replacement
-
done all mine with 4 gauge ...way thicker than the puny std stuff
-
did it go ok with a crowsfoot?
-
they dont fit ...theres plenty of 16v parts avail , is there a reason you wish to struggle fitting the worngs parts to you r car
-
unless its a 16v rocco it wont fit the rado

Advice on Engine support while removing subframe, pics.
steveo29 replied to Jim Bowen's topic in Engine Bay
looks like its leaning back a touch ...id have it set up dead vertical over the lifting hooks -
could try a quick run with the cap off the fuel tank to see if it changes , shouldnt be massive pressure there
-
id get on ebay.de , most will send here if asked and the prices are sometimes better than here cant help with the german word for g60...i just search until i see the pic then copy the words into the search box
-
has it had fresh fuel ? mine ran stupid rich with some stale fuel lol , spent a bit trying to fix that and it sorted itself with some new petrol
-
did it just happen ..or bought like it ? could there be a aftermarket chip in the ecu thats not matched to the engine , or was the mixture ever set up
-
usualy they flood badly and wont run if the ecu is damaged in that way yes check the earths , they all need to be a1 , if its still doing it you can pull the lambda plug and see if the emisions go down and the blue temp senders can cause probs on these , worth fitting a new genuine brand one , not ebay rubbish
-
you dont reset these ecu's once its got full battery charge it will come out of limp mode assuming theres no other faults
