G60Jet

it depends on the market the car was intended for mine goes up at 120kmh (german). american ones goes up at 45mph i think

Can i be the spanish demo car!!

you can contact the DVLA or DVLC to find out how many of any make and model are registered in the uk IIRC

dont waste your money on a bmw. they dont age well im my hoest opinion. there are far better motors out there thats will p on an M3

you need to change the water flange, thats the plastic bit the hoses and sensors sit in, order a new one from VW (only a few quid) you'll get a new seal for the block and new seal and clips for the sensors too (may as well put new sensors in too). Also change the one on the right hand side of the block too. easy job. Remember to refill you system with the correct mix of g12+.

BTW the new flanges are ver slightly different from the originals, they has three sensor holes in, but they still fit okay

Claim for back and neck pain. help cover losses lol

No the silver ones didn't just come on Storms.

 

Most VR's have the silver badges apart from the earlier ones ie 92/93.

no the silver ones came on storms, you can order the silver ones, i got one in may.

Its only a buckled boot floor at the rear, they are welded in, it will need jigiging i bet though, slam panel could be dont yourself (minus a god sray job). i'd say its a easy but not cheap repair, I've seen far worse repaired

 

G60 Jet - What is the lock like in traffic? I have been considering a set of harnesses for track days but can't stand not being able to lean forwards to check for traffic at junctions and these sound like the ideal solution

Its on an Autolock system that lets you move around like a normal seat belt but as soon as you boot it or brake it looks right up, there is a recoil system mounted in on the C pilar that is controled electronically.

The one in Hinckley (my hometown) is actually in Burbage. Don't know what they are like though but IIRC they are (or were) more of an aircooled specialist.

 

What about C&R - in Nottingham?

The one i was thinking about is on the A5 industrial estate going towards the M69 from dodwells brigde. is that burbage or stinkley?

Where in hinckley do you live im over Mkt Bosworth This weeked :D

what ariel gave you got the standard one is FM and AM only IIRC.

Windscreen fitters usually use cheese wire to cut out bonded screens

230 kph on a German Autobarn, check out the oil temp! Ouch!

 

G60 GO was standard then, the weekend after it got Jabbered.

It goes faster now that rev limiter is higher :lol: Although i wouldn't take a pic at that speed

How much is a G60 Pump, Im setting my Car up for the SNS chip and getting all the sensors replace BEFORE the chip comes so i know all is sweet.

Even mine doesn't go that high and mine in Kph

I'm guessing you have got a flange problem, the plastic flanges that attach to the block that then connect to the water hoses can leak, they are cheap to replace, but it means new coolant.

can be done for less than £30 yourself useing OEM parts and a bottle or two of G12+ coolant from VW depending on where you live. I always buy two bottles of coolant and mix in a large clean container with distilled water (cleaner water than tap water). I use 3 parts water 1 part G12 because i live in spain and it doesn't get to cold here

there is a VW specialist in Hinckley, cant remember the name of them though

yes as long as you get the correct profile, but its cheaper to go to mister mint and get a copy done!

for the pirce he may aswell buy one new with the warrenty still valid etc.

I've got a Schroth ASM II its great, its a 3 point harness with a 4 point fit if you like

it has two sholder harnesses that are sown together behind you and all buckes up at the front. It has an auto lock switch that locks as soon as you boot it or brake, its great. BEWARE they come in Left Hand and Right hand versions

Thats what happens when you leave your windows open in you car all day, and you live 50 meters from the beach. It vacs off easy. I normally polish the TT pedals every two months or so, but leave them alone in the summer cos of the dust.

My old mats are dirty and the drivers one is worn through, since the rears dont get used im getting the the spare rears sown on to the old front mats to make heal pads, so i have two sets of front mats then

There in the C already, need to clean up the footwells a bit more though :roll:

I got my new set of mats today for the C, they are the same as the old ones, but they look sooooo much cleaner Part Number ZVW 178 826 C WO # 10318 (USA only)
