Right,i've got a spare set if you need them mate.

Did you suss the problem?.

Ok mate,i'll look in my numerous boxes of bits and let you know later.

'kin 'ell,£100 for two simple crap switchs??.

Try starting the car and manually open the throttle so that the stop doesn't operate the idle switch,then manually depress the full throttle switch,the engine should bog down from the enriched mixture.

I've got a few switchs left over that work if you need let me know.

That's the Hall sender for the dist. mate,if your TDC sensor is faulty you need the sensor in the photo.

Snapped black feed wire buried in the fuse box...fukin Vw wiring :(

Yeah,1992 version G60,digital readout version.

What feeds the black wire?,12v+,i know that the 5volt signal is present but that's it.

I'm thinking maybe the black wire is damaged somewre 'cos i've got no reading at the speedo's sensor with ign. on.

My bloody speedo has stopped working and i've tried sorting it to no avail.

I've tried a different cluster,nothing,tried another known good sender on top of 'box,nowt.

I've even tried using a small dremel on slow speed driving the sender with the ignition on but nowt,i've got my 5volt signal on the middle wire to the sender feed but i don't remember what the black wire is,+12v?.

All wires are connected properly into the fuse box and all fuses are sound.

WTF is wrong here?

I've always wondered why Vw used drop links on the Vr's rollbar instead of the G60's nasty rubber bushes.

Anyone know?

Very well indeed,but with the Vr6 gearset and large t4 the power's all up to were the car virtually takes off..

At least i haven't had any problems with gearboxes..yet

Here's a few photos of past and present mills built by me,if your contemplating a simuler project maybe they could help-enjoy! :D

Here they are,don't know much about the kit as i bought it but changed my mind.

$hit,i forgot about the photos...,i'm going down now to change the rear bushs on the back axle

so i'll snap a few of the whole kit.

I've got a spare alignment tool left over from various cooked clutchs,it's only the shiyte plastic

affair but it works no problem.

Let me know if you need it.

Peeps,

Has anyone ever fitted a set of Ford wheels onto a corrado,golf,passat etc?,i need to know asap if there's a huge difference

in the bolt mouting (4) holes on the Ford disk compared to a 4 hole vw brake disc.

Also the center hole's diameter compared to the vw,seeing as the Ford Cosworth range were either RWD or 4x4.

Thanks :D

Yeah colsey,

Tommorow aft. after work i'll get the kit out and take a few photos for ya.

Dunno,but i have got a compleat mounting kit i got ages ago that i never fitted,can you use it?,save you pratting around

measuring bits,the base of the thing is a G60 aluminium mounting bracket.

Let me know and i'll post up some photos.

Cheers.

Allrite mate,

Ignore that bit about the Vr's ZF steering rack though as you've no need to go through the hassle

of changing it,i just outlined what i did on my car 'cos i got given a load of nearly new Vr bits a few years back.

Basicly just bolt on the Vr hubs/compleat drive shafts etc.

The only other thing you'll need is obviously the rear 5 bolt hubs and when swapping over the tierod ends be carefull as they are sided L/R stamped on the (original equipment version) tierods,it was confusing 'cos i could never tell which side of the car Vw was refering to,looking from the back of the car or the front?,anyway just do 1 at a time.

No need for the Vr's ARB either as there will be no easy way of attaching it to the g60's wishbones and there's no need.

Right,the wishbones will fit but have a different anti-roll bar end fitting compared to the g60,the vr has little uniball type attachments as the g60 has rubber bushs that bolt onto the wishbone so you'll need the vr's roll bar aswell.

The ball joints are the same on both versions but the tie rods are different,you can use the Vr's ZF steering arms on the g60's TRW steering rack but the vr's arms are longer and the inner threaded portion that threads into the rack's ram won't go all the way in,but i've been running a Vr6 ZF rack on my g60 for a while and i've never had any problems,unless your running 205/50/15" tyres,then the tyres will rub,especially if your 'raddo is lowered.

Hub bearing housings will go on but hubs are different as the vr's cv joints have a bigger splined shaft compared to the g60's versions,they are also glued into the hubs when new and are bastids to remove..

Just bolt up the compleat Vr driveshafts/cv joints onto the g60's 'boxs output flanges.

The Vr's subframe has a different engine mount compared to the g60's mount so why bother?

I think that covers it,i can't think of anything else but as i've got the flu and i feel like $hit warmed up double check

my advice anyway,it's been a few years now since i swapped over Vr bits onto g60s.

Cheers.

Fill the bugger with sawdust or maybe try using some kind of additive?,slick 50,stp etc.

Grab hold of a 12v test lamp and see if 1 of the brake light switch wires is live,i think it's the red with black stripe wire.Check the contacts inside the bulb holders for any corrosion and also the harness plugs that plug into the light clusters.

Hi mate,

Forgot all about this one..,i changed the slave and master cylinder and flushed the whole car's clutch and brake

systems using Ferodo 5.1 racing brake fluid,totally transformed the clutch pedal 'feel',especially as i have a Competition clutch stg.4 racing clutch fitted aswell.

I used a Mityvac pump to do the job single handed but if i'd do it all again i'd use a Gunsons eezi bleeder,when you use this tool it comes with a selection of different caps so you'll have no probs.

Make sure there's enough air in the tyre though.

Right chaps.

I wanna know if 1 can buy a set of all red crystal rear lights,i've tried the american stick-on film

that looks the dogs but it bubbles up,no matter how clean the lenses are.

Woose done what?.

Right peeps,what's on the menu for clutch cylinders now for our ancient corrados?.

Both mine were buggered by the uprated clutch so i need both.

I don't think that the stealers stock 'em anymore so it's adaption mode from another Vw.

3rd series golf?,passat?.

Whoose done what with what?.

Saluti :D

Probably...,but i don't think it'll cost much.

Well you've basicly answered your own question regarding pistons/rods,buy forged components,fit

and forget(hopefully).

I prefere old skool 8.1cr but nowadays with modern ecus and good injectors you can keep the static cr quite high.

At the end of the day the most important part is in the tuning.

buy a good wideband and exh. gas temp. gauge aswell,also a mechanical fuel press. gauge inside the cockpit is very

usefull.
