someone please help me with my g60

[chaz g60 0]

ive had my car a year now and its never driven right so ive changed the spark plugs, distibuter cap, leads, fiel filter, oil, oil filter, air filter, battery,

basicly tried everthing so now ive removed the charger to send to g-werks

thinking it'd be wrecked but its not it spins fine and inside is clean seals are in place so im lost now

basiclly its doesnt charge the car its slower than my mates old 8 valve!!!

and at about 5000 revs in second is the only place you feel the car really pull breifly till i change to third

its kind of jumpy off the mark but is ok on moterways

but it does start everyday and drives with no stalling ?????

im at my wits end with it i've had it for a year and have still never driven a g60 and im in spain so the mechanics havent got a clue

any ideas??????. :roll: :x :mad: :(

just to add to this...when you drive it there is no noise coming from the charger at all...and like he said...it was slower than my 8v when i drove it...its as if the charger isnt there...weird.

 

EDIT-- Could it perhaps be that a belt is too slack?

[chaz g60 0]

oh yeah the exhaust is in need of changing too but i dont think that it could slow the car down this much??

[Walesy 0]

nah...its not gonna be your sh1te exhaust...the charger aint being used.

[Walesy 0]

plus...looking at the pics close up....are the circular marks on it supposed to be there?...

[task 0]

are the circular marks on it supposed to be there?...

I would like to know the answer to this one too... are they from the manufacturer or from something grinding them from inside the charger

[Walesy 0]

they look like machining marks.....just not sure whats supposed to be there...im not familier with the inside of these things... :confused4:

[chaz g60 0]

they seem to symetrical to be from somthing grinding

Have you had the ignition timing set up?

 

The cam timing could even be out a tooth has that been checked out?

[Riley 0]

the marks are from the scroll oscilating (sp?)

have you checked your pipes for holes...ie boost leaks

[MattWilde 10]

i had a similar prob where my car drove like a bag of poo, ended up being the timing being retarded, just getting the timing right gained almost 30bhp and over 30lb/ft now drives sooooo much better. get the timing checked is my advice

[chaz g60 0]

yeah i think ill get the timing checked

fingers crossed!

i checked the pipes cant see any obvious holes

it'd help if there was a good mechanic somwhere near where i live

 

cheers

[MattWilde 10]

as a warning, the timing procedure on these cars is odd, make sure the garage know what they are doing and have the right tools for the job

[Walesy 0]

If theres no holes in any of the pipes is it a possibility that one of them is badly blocked then? im not convinced of it being timing as the car was running like a normal N/A 8v when i drove it (( a little slower maybe ))...surly if the timing was out it would drive like sh1te?... not just have a non working charger? :?

[MattWilde 10]

i still had an indicated 163bhp and 152lbft when my timing was out so it ran okish, just felt like i was driving into a head wind which i would have thought is how a low comp engine would run with out compressed induction (don't quote me on this though), and i'm thinking the jumpiness from a standstill is the thing flooding.

[Walesy 0]

did you get any hum from the charger when your timing was out?

[MattWilde 10]

:oops: missed that post, then i'm flummoxed too

[Walesy 0]

..tis a weird one alright. :?..its as if he has'nt found the " on" button for his lader or something. :?

[chaz g60 0]

i think its more than timing or the exhaust like corradowales said its like the chargers switched off the cars slow but it dosent stall and stats fine

can anyone see anything with the charger from the pics?

[W3RKD 0]

Even a chargr with 1/2 its apex strips will still make 1/2bar of boost. Like i said you either have a huge boost leak or you Timing is out, Have you actually checked the timing yet as if it a toth out it will still start fine etc but it will also be as flat as a 1200.cc

[Walesy 0]

hmmmmm......

as if it a toth out it will still start fine etc but it will also be as flat as a 1200.cc

...could be the culprit then...i didnt realise the timing would effect the charger's running. :confused4:

[chaz g60 0]

1200 cc sounds right its slow!

[chaz g60 0]

i think the apex strips look fine

so the timings next then fingers crossed i might notice a differance this time
