    Hi,

     

    Will front 8j ET 19 and rear 9j ET 6, 15's be ok on a 91 G60?

     

    Appreciate it depends on how low etc but will they effectively fit? Poss with 50 wall tyres?

     

    Thanks all

    Hi All,

     

    I seem to have a wire which isnt connected to anything which comes off the Negative Terminal. Please see picture.

     

    My car does constantly suffer from a flat battery so wondered if this is anything to do with it, earth point or something.

     

    Any help much appreciated.

    Hi fla

     

    Yep, same, I emailed archenemy and had various conversations with him and luckily he'd done a few Corrados and so knew a fair bit and agreed he could not help prior to coming. Mine will be going for a respray at some point and he told me below. For now, Ive just raised mine 10mm to stop it catching. Appears its a big job to sort these bits which catch:

     

    'Only thing to do is cut them off, remove sealer, carefully weld two skins of car back together with a series of joining spot welds, grind back, Skim with filler and replace removed sealer with some sort of underbody sealer

     

    You'll probably still need the top of the arch rolled at the same time, as it is quite large, I can do that for you before it goes to the bodyshop, then any slight distortions (as explained below) can be skimmed before its all painted up'

    Hi marks2,

     

    That would be awesom if you could assist! Whilst I lov my G60, im not too sure on the finer mechanical bits! So want it sorted as Ive had nothing but bad luck with the car and this is one of the most things which worries me every time I drive it!

    Hi All.

     

    My 1991 G60 has been off the road for two months and this week, passed its MOT with only minor issues :-)

     

    Since this time, when I put my foot down it would get to about 3-4000 rpm and judder at a certain point then take off again. Today, after driving it for 2 hours, it struggled to maintain revs low down and almost died, even with my foot down hard it wasnt moving, almost like its being starved of fuel.

     

    Any suggestions please?

     

    Its had a new battery, starter motor, throttle cable etc so I know thats not sticking.

     

    Thanks!

    Hi All

     

    On my 91 G60, I have 9j Borbets on the rear and its lowered. There is one spot on both rear arches that catch - if you look up under the arch, where the lip is, slightly toward the rear of the car there is about a 2 inch area which sticks in more than the rest of the arch lip. It only catches here.

     

    Is it possible to just cut this bit out or do something to it etc?

     

    thanks

    Hi all,

     

    I appreciate that this has been a regular post.

     

    I was just wondering if there is anyone out there on here who has done this before and is effectively very good at it. I have read posts on how to do it etc but perhaps someone can offer this service if I send my original rear lights etc to them to do for a price? Just looking for all red rears.

     

    Thanks

    Although I have pulled the rear VW badge out a few times and replaced it and those 'blue' inserts are practically gone, but still wonder how the water manages to get to below light clusters, its not running that much.

    Hi,

     

    Thanks for reply, do you mean the rear VW badge? thats the only one I have, the G60 one is only stuck on (yet it is a G60).

     

    Its odd though as underneath each rear light cluster, if you pull the carpet away, that effectively flat panel below has water drips on it, both sides, then the spare tyre 'well' has condensation all way round and then a slight gathering of water at base. Makes no sense. Maybe I should fit the original rear lights again to see if that helps.

    Hi all,

     

    Seem to have water dripping into boot.

     

    I have changed the rear lights to aftermarket ones, which I can only assume the seal is not as good. Is there a chance these are the reason for it? It appears to be coming in from both corners, along with what just seems like condensation in spare wheel side walls?

     

    Or could it jusrt be all round condensation as every morning the rear screen is mostly condensed up. I do have a front pingu dehumifier bag.

    Hi all.

     

    For various reasons, I took my front wiper arms off completely and now cant remember which order the bolts etc should go back on.

     

    Now its all attached again, I can still see the large nut holding the spline up which has gone rusty. Sure it wasnt visable before I took it apart.

     

    Just looking for which order it goes back together, the plastic cap bit, large nut, large washer etc from point the whole assembly/spline is pushed up through the hole. Hope that makes sense.

     

    thanks.

    Hi All,

     

    I have a set of early style door and rear quarter panel cards in black cloth.

     

    Im looking for £20 for all plus postage if any one is keen. These are the ones removed from the Show Car which G60 Mat has been breaking.

     

    No switches/speaker pods.

     

    Cheers
