Steve - how long has this been happening for? - just wondering if you have a crap tank of fuel??
-
Superb stock control there! :cuckoo:
-
You checked the big fuse and the belt?
-
The resevoir is a standard Gold driver (carb) or TDI part I think... peanuts from VW
-
Vince at Stealth Racing (ex-Gemini) is probably the best person for VAG boxes...
-
You can adjust in situ using a gearbox jack or similar altho it is a pain... elephant tape the other rings so they don't fill with dirt / rust
-
A dead aux pump usually causes this...
-
Could be the release bearing - i'd see how it goes...
-
About £8 for 5 when I bought some from a Volvo dealer in Frinton - they only fit certain valve stems tho...
-
Welcome to the forum, I reckon you have got the firing order wrong?
-
Nice one mate!! good bit of troubleshooting there!
-
Yeah - that 60Nm + 90 Degrees is correct and you must use new bolts (come with locking compound) There is a bulitin about this, apparently the original figures on G60's were 30Nm and the bolts were coming loose :shock:
-
^ Thats fair enough as Goodridge charge alot more for the hoses seperatly and don't seem to be prepared to make a custom kit up... If you do buy direct from Goodridge i'd advise paying the extra and getting the stainless steel option - my 3 year old ones are noticably rusty now, I reckon they will be an MOT advisory in another 3....

Moving to Engine Bay

The matrix could be leaking internally into the box - any loss or smell of coolant in the cabin?? If the valve detects a leak it will shut, thats what they are there for - I would be tempted to by-pass then for now just for testing...

For anybody that has ever sworn at a hose clamp...

Constant tension :wink: -
My standard 6-spd puts out 310Nm - yours might be nearer the 400 mark :nuts:
-
None of the petrol engines excite me apart from the R32... Would have to be the 130 or 150 GT TDI for me, economy, torque and a true GTi
-
No worries - ECU relay should be the 3rd one in the top row I think (above the fuse box) - maybe grey in colour (most are black) - maybe numbered 30/31//32 (without checking)
-
- sorry thats what confused me, I thought you meant you'd changed it... Ok - So you have looked for continuity from PIN2 or the sensor plug(s) to PIN 33 on the ECU plug? What about Pin 33 on the ECU back to the battery Negative? I would at least re-seat the ECU relay or change for a new / known working one and maybe also look for corrosion on the big multi-plug in the engine bay
-
Pin 33 I think mate - sensor earth - not sure where that goes from the ECU - probably the relay? have you changed this?? Pin 2 on both the IAT and CTS earth back to ECU pin 33 along with the TPS which is interesting - did the other 2 faults come up before you changed the throttle sensor or only afterwards???
-
Have you checked continuity between the sensor plug ang and ECU plug... I think both these sensors earth thru the ECU so that might be the issue...
-
As above or running rich - thermotime switch maybe faulty if it's a KR engine?
-
Yan, sorry - didn't see this thread... Good to see the inside of your engine is the same colour as mine - so strange and never seen another VW like it apart from G60's How much backlash should there be on the intermediate shaft? - I noticed on mine if I 'wriggle' the rotor arm the pulley moves in and out by about half a mm moving the cambelt with it! Also what about the line on the dizzy casing - should the rotor arm point directly at this at TDC or is this a 6 degree marking?
