you need to make up a puller to pull it in, one is shown in the haynes manual for a 16v golf,,, but thats an o2a box,, must be similar though!!

:evil: :mad: to AE,, doubt theyve even been in a G60,,, how discriminating of them,,, think ill give my g60 an extra coat of wax this evening,,,,, :wink: had my first drive of a vr6 yesterday as we got one for my mate,, lovley smooth drive, they are very different from a g60, just a matter of taste i recon,, g60 is much more of a raw beastie!! cant get enough of that supecarger sound, tis awesome,, the vr has a lovley note too though,, :D

my throttle body on the g60 is really oily under where the linkages for the butterflys are, im thinking if oil has come out of there i must have a slight boost leak there,,, can you get new seals where the spindles come up through the body? cheers, Olly :D
