Danger Mouse 0 Posted October 29, 2003 I had my G60 in for a 'service check' a few weeks ago to see what needed done. They uncovered quite a few things, some of which iv already sorted. The list below shows what is still outstanding. Im not sure about these ones.... price, difficult...etc PLAY ON O/S/R WHEEL BEARING BOTH REAR BUMP STOPS PERISHED O/S CV BOOT PERISHED CLUTCH DRAGGING FRONT ENGINE MOUNT (already a thread on this one) HANDBREAK CABLE TOO TIGHT DRIVE SHAFT O/S BENT Any help would be appreciated Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dazzyvr6 0 Posted October 29, 2003 the costliest is going to be the bent drive shaft,the rear wheel bearing is easy to do and only about £20(??) the handbrake cabe is easy to do,just removing the handbrake covers etc is the most difficult thing,front engine mount is easy,and the cv boot would be done the same time as changing the bent drive shaft Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danger Mouse 0 Posted October 29, 2003 Cheers dazzyvr6 Its going in on Friday to get the timing belt changed, next month it was gonna be the driveshaft. Ill give the other ones a go myself then. Thanks again Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted October 29, 2003 Not many places would bother checking the trueness of the driveshafts, so hats off to Bedrock for that one. You can use any VW shaft that has a 100mm CV, so G60, 16V (Golfs included) etc etc. Should be able to get one from a scrappy no probs. Kev Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
