I was mate, cheers. May just fit some intake piping under the bonnet though.

 

Got some insurance sorted with Brentacre, £600 protected, with the missus on too. Got BHP limit of 210, and as many other mods as I like, all on a like for like basis 8) Top company, and real good genuine guy ;)

nice car, nice motor, nice insurance and nice price :) what engine (edit... I meant model ;) sorry for sounding retarted) is this from? and how much hassle is it to fit the 24v to a g60?

[Stan 24v 0]

2.8 24v from a 4motion mate. The main ball ache (not for me, I just paid for it :lol: ) was the wiring. A new front mount was fabricated, and a new exhaust downpipe fabricated with the lambdas (2 out of 4) installed too.

 

There are still a few leccy gremlins getting fixed as we speak, hoping to get it back soon so I can play again :D

 

However, the VR already has mounts, gearbox etc that work with the 24v. Youd be better off getting a 1.8T for a G60, check out the threads in the engine section.

Whats up with it Stan?

The MFA doesnt work for MPG or Oil Temp.

 

There were chattery relays/fuses under the dash, which we also think is the cause of the ABS not working.

 

The MAF is nacked and causing it to overfuel and fail the emissions for the MOT.

 

The rev counter is fluctuating.

 

The front mount has rocked, we think.

 

Its all stuff that is fixable, just he needs time to get it in and looked at.

 

Did you have "any" problems with the electrics Jay?

[24V Renshaw 0]

Oh dear. Hope he gets it sorted soon mate.

 

I can honestly say I have had no electrical problems at all. I had a loose engine speed sensor (picked up by VAG-COM) but that was it.

Does the MFA work on all settings? Is there a built in oil temp gauge on it?

[PhatVR6 0]

no oil temp sensor on the 24v. well, not one that outputs to the clocks at least.

 

No MFA either, that comes from the ECU (which now isn't there).

[24V Renshaw 0]

Yep I have the full MFA, on the MK4 clocks and the stalks.

 

Jay

[Stan 24v 0]

The MFA works on other settings though, can it not work from the 24v ECU?

 

Or, should I put the 24v clocks in instead?

[Stan 24v 0]

Anyone?

[Supercharged 2]

Mine works fully but I have the mk4 clocks but still corrado (mk2) stalks...

[24V Renshaw 0]

The stalks are just a very simple switch, which will operate basically all the MFA's in the VW range. As for the MFA info, it is a mixture of signals from the ECU and from outside senders. You will always struggle to replicate the exact signals from a later car on an earlier set of dials.

This is exactly why I fitted everything from the MK4, so I know it will work together as it should. Not saying its not possible, it is, but its a lot of messing about to get it right.

Stan - car is amazing! That's a route I think I'll go in future when I wear out the VR6!

Incredible - good job!

mr bates, how did you get hold of your 'valver' lump?

[Stan 24v 0]

He did source it mate. He knows a lot of prople at scrappies etc. You struggling to find one then?

[double-6s 0]

Have been struggling yeah.

There's a slight chance i may have one off phat but it's provisionally sold and i'm first reserve :(

[Stan 24v 0]

You spoke to Andy? He may know of one??

[Stan 24v 0]

Took some pics after cleaning today. Wish I had some money to get the dinks and scratches sorted. Not that its bad but you just notice every little one when you clean it, bloody frustrating :mad:

[Stan 24v 0]
