stevec14 10 Posted January 31, 2014 Hi Just noticed your post and as a G60 owner I will try to give you some pointers. Check service history on oil change etc. G60's like regular oil changes 6k. Check condition of oil filter and spark plugs under bonnet. Always good to see a Vw or Oem oil filter and bosch spark plugs(W6DP0 platinum expensive £30+ set of 4) Also standard air filter box with Vw Oem paper filter works best. Check for history of work on the supercharger(overhaul etc). Bear in mind the G60 supercharger has a rubber toothed belt driven counterbalance weight. These belts made by gates are Only cheap to buy but a bit of a pain to change(charger out)so they get overlooked. And when they snap the charger will self destruct. Usual checks on corrados' apply, both sills, look up under drivers rear wheel arch(rust trap behind fuel filler) double check inside car pull back carpet in boot, when in boot also check for original Vw sticker inside rear valance, And make sure everything works. Sunroofs are prone to failure, And also with all the rain lately check floor carpets for wetness. Happy hunting Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
