    i'm going to contact Quantum tomorrow as i want to know a little more about this plug and play and whats needed.

     

    It's gonna be a mission by the sounds of it but 265bhp as a starting block is a little too tempting........

     

    I have decided that i would want a normal manual on reflection and not go for the DSG box.

     

    Apart from the extra cost i have found out a lot of the units have been recalled. Found this on another forum -

     

    Recall number is 37E5

    I think the problems mentioned on this thread are due to this overheating problem.

    On the recall letter I received it says:

     

    'Possibility of the electronic control unit of the gearbox to read false temp data on clutch which results to flashing gears on DIS, tremble of car, reduction of tourque, and disengage of clutch'

     

     

    One of the members on the forum had this problem, dsg put it's self in neutral then put it's self back in gear after she released the had brake. The car reversed into a fence, she put the handbrake back on and then it drove her forward into a van!!!!

     

    Imagine that, no thanks lol.

     

    Looks like my G60 Engine might be up for sale then, anybody want one?

     

    Can't seem to advertise it on her for some reason, any ideas?

    As above.....how hard you think?

     

    Been offered the engine for an extremely good price and with only 1700 miles!

     

    Seller has asked me if i'd want the DSG box as well.

     

    Now i know it can be done as there is that white mk2 from denmark (i believe) with the DSG box but theres two things.

     

    I owned a new scirocco and am unsure if i would like the DSG over a normal manual box.

     

    Also how much work would be involved to fit the DSG as i can imagine it is probably bigger than your average gearbox...right???

     

    I've always stayed away from the 1.8T and stuck with my G60 as i think the 1.8T if far too popular now.

     

    Not many TFSI's out there especially with the DSG box. 260bhp standard and 300bhp with just a remap!

     

     

    Thoughts?

    cheers jim, I've got so much bloody work to do it's scary, haha.

     

    But if the ISV was gone would it not just cut out, even when warm?

     

    I didn't think it could run without a ISV? I'll have to have a gander when i'm next at my garage.

     

    It runs spot on when driving, bit too well :crazyeyes: lol.

     

    I might have to have one off you then but if anyone else can answer the question of, can a g60 run without an ISV that would be really helpful.

    ahh ok, the car has always been like this. But it ticks over fine when warm.

     

    I guess there must be one somewhere then, maybe its just been hidden behind the inlet somewhere.

     

    Strange that the plug does not seem to be connected, maybe as it's a conversion into a golf a similar connector was not used and this is the one i see?

    Hi guys, any idea if this set up looks a little odd to you.

     

    I notice the ISV is not in view running across the top/back of the rocker cover.

     

    The plug that plugs into the ISV is not plugged into anything.

     

    Are you able to run without one?

     

    Plus anything else you guys notice.

    i'm a little bit the same. I've got a lot more i want to do to the G but think i might tackle a TFSI conversion next.

     

    This above sounds very interesting but i wouldn't trust my self to be able to do the best job possible.

     

    i can't imagine this route would be anywhere as comprehensive as taking the car to Jabba for tuning on their R/R, even if they do want to charge the earth lol.

    lol.....funny you say that i had a six pack in the fridge and thought to my self "mmm i might have a sneaky one while the mrs is at work"

     

    Then i noticed she bought her self two bottles of Rosé wine!

     

    Not my kind of thing but i thought i'd help my self to a glass for a laugh......

     

     

    Now then, I live in a small village called Ilminster and everything shuts quite early here.

     

    I currently find my self wondering how i can replace two bottles before she gets home....... :hic:

     

     

    haha on a serious note i forgot to ask (during my apparent new founded love for Rosé) how easy it is to change the crank pully and what tools i need.

    My issue is that my car i quite low and i do not have ramps.

     

    If i jack up the front drivers side and take of the wheel is it quite easy to do?
