raddo_tom 0 Posted May 29, 2009 Have a look at the buyers guide for you PSI checks on your charger. http://wiki.the-corrado.net/the_corrado ... klist.html If all is good then do a compression test. If that's all good Stick a oil cooler on it. (Unless it already has one) Drive it like you stole it and save some £££ till the charger needs rebuilding. (Keep checking the PSI, She'll let you know when she's tired) Then spend some £ making it fast! G-Werks http://www.g-werks.com/Site/Default.asp ... ces_glader Jabba http://www.jabbasport.com/superchargers.php That explains the stages a little better. Welcome to G60 ownership! You're gonna LOVE IT! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bulldog12 0 Posted May 29, 2009 a bit off both really. im having no probs at all engine wise just the only service history i have is came belt change 20 000 miles ago and little bits hear and there.just whant a bit of advice from someone with a bit of savy as to what they would do first :shrug: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raddo_tom 0 Posted May 29, 2009 Plugs, leads, oil, all belts and tensioners and a Oil Cooler (all for peace of mind) Chip and pulley (smaller pulley means you'll need a new belt anyway to eradicate the worlds most annoying squeak, Trust me I have said squeak) With these few little things you'll have a nicely serviced engine and peace of mind and a charger that spools up a bit faster to get things moving a bit quicker!
