sorted out where the 90 relay goes now,them uva plugs r on the light loom,av u got a 31 relay on the light loom 4 the coolant fans after run?do i need this?

[Rustynuts 0]

I would not worry too much about this at the moment. You may want to use it but get the car running before worrying about this

ok mate thankz,has urs got a 31 relay on it?wot oil wuld u recomend?ive been told 10/40w bt wot make wuld u use?

[Rustynuts 0]

Not sure if mine has the 31 relay on it, don't think so, did not take too much notice. Anyway I am running my rad fan on a switch so it would make no difference if I did.

 

Oil wise - 10w40 semi synth is the tuff to use. Either Quantum or the stuff GSF now sell will be fine. Points to check. Make sure you have the right oil filter, it is G60 specific.

[Rustynuts 0]

Fuel pump should prime when ignition goes on, just briefly and then go off again.

 

Semi synth is fine for G60's and your oil filter should have a nut on the end, the normal Gti ones don't.

 

Not had a look for this relay yet. Will let you know

[maks-g60 0]

my car was originally an 8 valve and i knew id have problems with the fuel pump, so i converted it to a 16valve one with a new pump and casings and had some fuel lines fabricated. follow the below link to my old buil thread.

ok mate wot feul pump r u running?

 

Running a standard 8v digifant fuel pump. As I understand it a healthy digi fuel pump will provide enough fuel and pressure when running 3 bar. I believe they are designed to push about 4 bar anyway. Mine has been on the car for at least 90,000 miles, may even be the original as the car approaches 200,000 miles so it it possible that it may not be able to cope at some point. In which case it could get upped to a 16v one.

Yes just went out with torch to look. Not got relay 31. Only got the relay holder for fuse 90. Might plug it on one day and see if it actually works. IIRC though from my old Corrado, it only seemed to activate in the summer, I know this mainly as it used to set the car alarm off :lol:

Nice 1 mate,does avin ur fan on a switch keep the engine cool in the summer?

[Rustynuts 0]

er dont know yet. Fan is on switch but car has only been back on the road a month so dont know how is is going to react in the summer. Got a mocal oil cooler to go on that should help keep oil temp down a bit.

make sure you delete the water/oil cooler when doing this and bridge the pipework across for water flow as it fowls the front cross member when the mocal sandwich plate is installed. or u will have to use a normal gti oil filter.

[Rustynuts 0]

Yeah I noticed that when I trial fitted the sandwich plate when building the car up. Went for the initial easy option and left it standard.
