chrishill 0 Posted August 13, 2005 got chris vr6nos to come over and see if he could work out why my car has hicups, which we totally failed to do. On two test runs it ran perfectly, something its not done for the past two or three weeks! typical! checked the MAF, lambda and a host of other wires/connections/sensors and all seems well. also discovered my rev counter is reading way out for some reason, meaning I have a VR that revs to 8500 :?

Also the oil filter on a G60 seems really difficult to get to! any tips? - sorry OT! - Easy mate, got the new water flange from EuroCarparts (it has an extra outlet but comes with a blanking plug & clip. Also get blue & black temp senders with seals, its not worth putting the old ones back in. Drain coolant system from rad bottom hose. Remove hose clips with water pump pliers/molegrips, remove hoses (note, alot of water will come out of head even though you drained the rad) undo two bolts, remove water flange clean up mounting face on head with sandpaper make sure new flange has rubber seal in place (I had to trim a little plastic off that might of interfered with the seal) fit senders with seals, a little water helps when pushing them in. fit retaining clips. bolt on flange and refit hoses. Top up coolant and run engine with expansion cap off until over 80°c to remove airlocks. thats it! my car seems to run better on cold & warm starts with the new blue temp sender 8) as for the oil filter, does it have a hexagon boss on the end of it? if not, it;'s probably a 8v oil filter, its dead important that you use the right filter on the g60. I can't remember how I get the filter off now, probably use water pump pliers on the hexagon boss, or you could always tap a screwdriver in the side of it (messy) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrbeige 0 Posted August 17, 2005 Swapped the black interior into my C. Also took the black cover off the knackered drivers seat and fitted to the grey one that was in the C. All I need now is a right hand side bolster material section from someone, and it'll be done. Quite pleased with the look so far, looks loads better in black! :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
