  1. Are you still running the OE heat exchanger?? - If so get rid of that for starters...
  2. corradomygod, is this a G60 we're talking about?? If so then yes, G-werks is the place!
  3. This usually happens in cars that have been smoked in alot... Spray glue may do it but to be honest it may be easier to just find a good one from a scrappy, I think some passats also got the black lining also...
  4. BBS made the original solitudes and alot of other OE alloys for VW... It may have been rear ended and thats why the rear panel sticker is missing (not really a problem if it's been fixed ok and not suprising on cars of this age either) Anyway - stop panicing!! It will be a Storm as Mystic Blue was a Storm only colour, you got everthing else - just buy a set of shabby BBS Solitudes and get them referbed to finish her off...
  5. £100 is bloody good to be honest, it should only take 2-3 hours but as always, with the age of these cars, could take much longer...
  6. Yep, leave it soaking in WD or preferably PlusGas then get an allen socket and make sure you tap it all the way in before trying to release it with a short, sharp blow!
  7. Anything from 80 - 150k's depending on how they've been treated... If the bite point is low (towards the carpet) then you may have a hydraulic leak - check the slave cylinder and fluid levels etc first...
  8. Also bear in mind you'll need to go to a garage anyways to get the geometry set up.
  9. Your right, it probably was to do with reliability and also the fact that the VR6 engine was ready for action so they basically replaced it... But, the G60 is a great engine and very reliable being an 8v it's easy to maintain and parts are cheap, as long as the charger is looked at at the correct intervals by a specialist like G-werks they will run and run, just budget upto £500 for a charger rebuilt if the car hasn't had one recently.
  10. Shocks should always be changed if lowering! Moving...

    Fuel Pumps

    The older K Jets used to use 5 bar I think...
  12. Did you change the plugs as well? Check the coilpack for any cracks and scan with VAG.COM
  13. Sounds like a dead CPS to me (25bhp drop)

    Fuel Pumps

    Yep, The 2.08v, VR and late G60's use the single unit... The valvers use a different one (the 2 pump set-up I think)
  15. Also see if it has an uprated headlight loom... As henny says the brake light switch is probably stuck...

    lupo wipers

    Yep, they were doing them at inters for £60 a set which is half the retail price from VW! - I'll lock this up as there is already a stickied thread about this.
  17. Should we sell him some wing mirrors???
  18. Hmmm - I know Valeo also make clutches for VW but I seem to remember the original that came out of yours Kev was a SACHS... (If it was the original)
  19. Yeah noticed this the other day... need to do mine this w/e and with it being a bank hol maybe better to do online.
