Supercharged

There is - I moved it to the suppliers section andy.b, so locking this one up... corradowales, PMSL @ your avatar, you nutter!

Yep, the did - Campaigns for one...

MNuTz, don't know why they took your details, they should just order it there and then, I think they are still available...

Better than a Storm badge, that is ;) PMSL - The Scotsman's not going to like that at all Andi!!! :roll:

The late VeRa's got very high suspension for some reason, Have a look at picture's of Dinkus's car in the members gallery, you may be quite suprised at how unnecessarily high the standard springs actually are! Only place to get them is VAG, shocks are cheap but springs are quite expensive i'm afraid... else look out for someone selling there original suspension after an upgrade but bear in mind this will be around 10 years old already....

corradoman24, Welcome to the forum. Moving this to General Car chat... Most G60's have around 100k now and as long as they've been looked after, regular oil changes etc then the engines should be fine, budget £500 for a charger rebuilt tho if needed.

GPC are out of them but Trimsport may do them?? otherwise have a look on eBay...

Err moving to Suppliers

corradolyconfused, great username! Have you had it on VAGCOM? - could be the crank sensor...

I see you took your fanancial adviser along for advice... :wink: Obviously an insurance write off but interestingly the window is not broken and the door doesn't look too out of shape so maybe worth repairing, depending on how the rear axle lines up and how bent the floor and the rest of the chassis is.... Actually looks fairly tidy and clean apart from the damage (obviously) and the patches of rust but weirdly silver cars are usually least prone to corrosion...

It's not posible... You can't get 5by112 to 4by100 adapters and even if you had 5by100, the offset would be way out... The only option here is to change to 5by112 hubs and discs (Audi)

Which 3 bolts??? The caliper to carrier bolts (2 piece calipers) need to be about 35Nm but if you have removed the whole lot then the carrier mounting bolts been to be alot tighter 125Nm IIRC... Wheel bolts are 110Nm

Page link fixed.

Here's the pix...

Here we go....

Yep they appear to be, later cars got a 90amp, not sure if you can upgrade from a 65 tho... 1.8 16v, 2.0 16v >89 (65A) 027903015X 1.8 16v, 2.0 16v 90>95 (90A) 051903017X 1.8 G60 (65A) 037903018X 2.0 (70A) 028903025GX 2.9 VR6 (90A) 028903018AX

Thats the puppy! - nice one Carpoid...

Yep, I'd get some advice from a bodyshop and either fix if they're not too bad or get new rear quarters but this is very drastic, I would think your looking at around £700 a side for this..... I don't think i've ever seen a Corrado with rust on the rears...

VR's should idle at around 650

Yeah, the fan and fuel pump run on are normal (as long as they eventually go off!) Probably just a dead battery, charge it and see, if it lets you down again get a new one.

Good call...

I agree, they already have a computerised parts system, get that on the web and allow people to order there own stuff mail order... I guess its just with the amount of variations of spec and part changes on chassis number that makes it difficult to implement...

Hmmm - I wonder if Vince used the different plugs for a reason then?? What cylinders where the 2 different ones in?? 1 and 6?

I've done this on a number of my cars now and never had any probelms but would still be reluctant to do it to anyone elses for the posible problems Dr Mat desribes.... I have always known that all my leads and service items were new tho and the car was running perfectly before hand. On my Golfs I used to use Gunk spray then just hose it down afterwards, dry by hand and spray wd40 into the dizzy cap and let drain before starting, then start up and idle for 15mins to dry off completly before taking out for a spin.. My current method is great and i disagree with using any elbow grease at all as this doesn't involve actually touching the car whatsoever, I did my G60 last year and recently did my mums mk3 Golf and the engine which is now 8 years old looks brand new again and altho some was removed, most of the factory wax is stil there! Ok, heres how i do it... Warm car up to operating temp Spray WD40 over all electrics Spray everthing under bonnet with NV engine clean or the turtlewax one that Halfords sell (either of these work well and don't stink like Gunk does) Leave for 10 mins to work its way into the oil and grease thats built up. Pressure wash engine (bear in mind I only use a £50 power devil jobbie and make sure i'm 1ft away from what i'm spraying so i'm not going to damage any wiring.) Then, pour 2/3 kettles of boiling water over engine (in an attempt to steam clean) Now let water drain off, soak up any excess with a cloth etc Start engine and idle up to operating temp Take for a short drive to remove anymore water. You'll then be amazed at how clean you can get it with almost no effort whatsoever - I'll stick some pics up later.... I've never had any problems doing this but make sure you have some WD40 handy so if you do then you can spray the electrics and inside the dizzy cap if needed.
