h100vw 0 Posted March 7, 2005 There is no one else.......... :mrgreen: Send it away. You can split it and have a look inside. Take a few piccys and post them up here. Gavin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted March 7, 2005 ok this may be a stupid question but what the hell? is it possible to somehow run the c without the charger? please bear in mind im still learning about these things! cheers! :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_leon_ 0 Posted March 7, 2005 theres definately people who have done this - iirc you need some new pipes and a new belt - but someone here will have a better idea. Its only worth doing if you plan to be without it for a while... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted March 7, 2005 ahh nice one,i was thinking about belts... does the charger belt run the alternator and water pump too? neil. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_leon_ 0 Posted March 7, 2005 yup :) alternator at the top and the water pump is one of the bottom ones (pulleys) I believe. If I'm wrong, someone will soon point it out :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
h100vw 0 Posted March 7, 2005 Yes. They turn them round inside a week though. Remove sunday, post monday, could be back in the post again tuesday/wednesday. Fit to car wednesday/thursday. Sorted Gavin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_leon_ 0 Posted March 7, 2005 yeah I don't think its worth considering myself. Use the time to do some cleaning or replace other parts - theres always something ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted March 7, 2005 aye suppose its pointless really,thanks for all the help. 8) ill get it all serviced and then maybe strip/look at/send the charger away or have someone look at the car as a whole. neil. :thumb right: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_leon_ 0 Posted March 7, 2005 I sent my charger away to GWerks and it came back looking like new :) during that time I was busy buying new pipes, bolts, belts etc, cleaning and replacing a few other bits and bobs since i had the access to other areas. have a good think, theres somethign there waiting for you lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
golfg60 0 Posted March 7, 2005 Whilst on the topic, the K&N on my ISV (boost return mod) is caked in oil. How does everybody else combat this or is it a case of just cleaning it out evry now and then? Is there anyway of feeding this pipe into a catch tank as well as the breather and then sitting a K&N filter on the catch tank (i'm not sure but that appeared to be the set up of a german G60 i saw in PVW a few years back???

gibber 0 Posted March 7, 2005 Riley If you ever what a second opinion on things mate Im only in wigan if you want me to have a look! I have done my own boost returm mod, so you can have a look at that and have a drive to compare it to yours. Im only a few months in front of you on the G60 learning curve, but I have had good chats with the likes of H100VW and Henny! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Riley 0 Posted March 10, 2005 well today i managed to change the plugs/cap and rotor arm/oil filter/oil/air filter/fuel filter and well it shifts like i think it should! i dunno what could be diffarent,the old plugs were a little black,maybe the original fuel filter wasnt helping? filled it with optimax and its flaming/popping/banging and shifting like a gud un :D also tried the mfa/boost check again and managed the number 2000 in 3rd gear,is this around 14 psi? only problem is on tickover it fluctuates between 500-600,what should it be? thanks,neil. :D :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gibber 0 Posted March 11, 2005 Its probs fluctuating because its a little low, I have mine set between 8-900. Although I expect to be corrected on that one! Anyway its easy to adjust, between the TB and the bulk head you will see a brass bolt (idle srcew), wind it out to speed it up! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riley 0 Posted March 11, 2005 thanks gibber m8,sorry i should have explained better,i meant the boost reading on the mfa at tickover :oops: neil. oh,i wont be able to make the meet this sunday,im watching a m8 rallying at wigan,3 sisters,anyone else going? :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Riley 0 Posted March 19, 2005 more questions guys! :D think i may have found why my g feels slow! gave it its first propper minting up today,all door edges,under bonnet etc... 1/ found a plug down the cambelt side of the engine,to the rear. is this the wiring for the lambda sensor? anyway 2 wires are not in the plug/snapped,hope you can see in the pic. how do i repair this and what effect would it be having? 2/ is the other pic of the ecu hose which should be 1 meter long? does it go to back of throttle body? its nowhere near 1 meter,and is loose on the ecu. what effect will this be having? thanks,neil. :thumbleft: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted March 19, 2005 Yep, thats the lambda wiring, there is also an earth right next to the plug... The hose needs replacing, dealers should have some instock, about £4 for a metre or so (cut it down to size when you get home) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
