Supercharged

No luck at Waterstaones and Amazon out of stock... Anyone?

Err... Yeah, I would!

Here it is...

If you plan to upgrade the power go for either a VT or JMR front mount.

Just the lump and no charger?? - not alot...

Similar thing happened to me a few months back but I was in a car and because I had to slow down anyway I decided to try and help a woman out of a tight road to the right of me, I flashed to let her out and she hesitated for ages then nearly drove into an oncoming bike... Not my fault and not yours either, regardless of other road users people need to have a basic road sense and be aware of all other traffic!

Kev, the charger needs a rebuilt anyway so you may as well get Darren to do it when the charger is off, not much extra labour then and about £25 for new pump and stat - just don't ask for Samco hoses!!! Jim, I know its extra cash now but it may be wise to get the charger done before selling - you might even change your ming after Darren's had a play with it, your car would be perfect for a toothed belt conversion also!

I just use the VAG Dealer ones with the hex on the bottom, it's the only one that I know is correct for that engine, don't use a standard Golf one...

What colour smoke?

Cool, cheers guys, I'll be looking at it on saturday as i'm getting a lift into work tomorrow... I'll check the earths and maybe stick a couple of new cables in, Darren has told me what to check and it's most likely the Lambda...

Yup, mind you the G60 is pretty unique in the sense that it will use alot if you drive constantly on WOT but if you drive it off boost it will be comparable to an NA 8v...

The Lambda?? - where do you unplug it, just down to the left of the TB over the engine mount??? Weird problem, now seems heat related as the first 15 mins todays journeys were fine then it went lumpy again - It got worse tonite and cut out on me completly, then wouldn't restart until it had cooled down 15 mins later, luckily I had just got to my mums house and had enough downhill momentum to park the car up ok and not leave it in the midle of the road - called Green Flag out, bloke had a look and we went thru a few things but nothing obvious, he suggested the Coil... Will try the lambda thing tomorrow and also bought the TB-ECU vac pipe as the dealer had some in stock and have cut it down to 100cm, I will fit at work tomorrow as I park in an underground carpark so I won't get snowed on like here! - the existing pipe doesn't look that great but I doubt it's the problem...

...Except a 210Nm Torque Wrench...

Its the bit on the side of the alternator with BOSCH written on it and 2 screws, I'll stick a pic up later if your still having probs locating it...

Crank bolt!

I did mine with hammerite smooth... get new lenses at the same time, look much better now!

This maybe because the oil should be a 75w-90 - not sure how much difference the 5 will make but you'll notice it most with the current weather...

Thats a good price! I sold my setup as I was petrified of breaking one!!

Cheers guys, Is that where the plug terminates Steve?? Can I prove anything by unplugging it, ie how will it run off WOT?

Ok, this has happened soon after i filled up with the last tank of Optimax which i'm half way thru, I assumed it was a bad tank as I had one before but i'm not not so sure as It's much worse and is getting really bad now... Bassically the Idle is awful and it sounds more like fuel starvation rather than an electrically induced misfire... Driving along on part throttle is feels very hesitent and when you accellerate the revs stutter upwards BUT if I accelerate hard and on full throttle it feels ok Most service items have been changed in the last year (all belts/fluids/filters along with the temp senders) - So have ignition leads, cap, arm and plugs... I don't think it's the fuel pump as top end it still there and it seems to pull fine when accellerating hard thru the gears... I've had a look around and all the vac pipes look ok etc what else do i need to check/test?? Lambda is still original....

(the units that is, the lenses are not available seperatly like the Corrado)

VW sell them but they are £150 each...

You can get them from Timpsons shoe repairers....

I don't know but i'm locking it...

I've had quite a few PM's about my latest Avatar asking where it came from, it is from the centre pages of the following Book... Das große VW Corrado Buch 389365187X - ISBN heinz horrmann - Author Heel - Publisher Does anyone have this book or know where to get a copy, I've searched the usual places but had no luck....
