I know the G60 starter is 02A911023EX and that there where 3 left in the country as of today. £157 (from memory) sorry thats not much help! :lol:

LOL the way this thread is going i'm suprised you're not sticking another engine in it... A very tidy car, can't wait to see some more updates!

That all depends on several key points... For BVF I'll need an MOT as a minimum and for that I'll need a new starter motor, suspension and radiator. I MAY be getting a bonus at work that could pay for this. However... I COULD be getting the boot in the next few weeks (it's complicated but basically we're waiting to get paid by a client). SOOOoo yeah i could have it ready by then but realistically, It's probably gunna be ready sometime after BVF. :( Still! I'm aiming high... Things are looking up. Heres hoping! :notworthy:

:?

bump

Thought you might like them yan ;)

Also... As a side note. I've finally finished cleaning the upholstery! (it's only taken me 6 months! :brickwall: ) The stumbling block came when i had to move the corrado out of the lock-up it was in. Space then became a premium and with the weather the way it was I couldn't hand clean them. Also the products i was using didn't seem to do the job! However, i got a shot of my GF's dad's aqua vac the other day!! :grin: climatronic wiring-Golf from May 01.pdfAberdeen G60 parts 027.jpg[/attachment:3q39f0g4] I've still to do the Drivers side seat so when I've done that I'll show you just how much SH*T comes off these things :gag: But for now.. I'm keeping them wrapped up until the summer when they'll go back in the car... happy days! 2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdfAberdeen G60 parts 031.jpg[/attachment:3q39f0g4] (p.s. I also treated myself..... For those who don't own these i would highly recommend them...) Aberdeen G60 parts 033.jpg[/attachment:3q39f0g4]

OK more info and pictures of the collection of parts I got from Aberdeen. I would also like some advice about this rear bumper that I'm worried about.

Advice on how to proceed would be warmly welcomed. I would also like to know if VW sell the metal components separately? climatronic wiring-Golf from May 01.pdfAberdeen G60 parts 013.jpg[/attachment:151gjv0o] 2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdfAberdeen G60 parts 021.jpg[/attachment:151gjv0o] Also got the following parts included... all for £50! not bad! :grin: Aberdeen G60 parts 022.jpg[/attachment:151gjv0o]

It needs to be clean and free of rust fellas but I'm hoping to find items 4 and 5 in the picture bellow. img.jpeg[/attachment:28go5vum] Can anyone who understands Vagcat please tell me if these are obsolete or not as well? thanks!

You should really skim the head shouldn't you? always a good idea.... You may get away with not doing it but i thought it was good practice

nope, can't be skimmer twice... But if it's running fine then I'd think it's more likely to be the oil cooler (heat exchanger). Not familiar to the 1.8 16V engine but i'd assume that it's like a little mocal cooler, if that went the fluid in there would go out through the bottom of the engine bay like the rad going. It'll take water from the engine coolant. Did you get steam coming up through the vents after you discovered water under the car?

head if difficult mate. Needs to be machined flat (skimmed) and you'll need new gasket and head bolts as a minimum! But that's if it is the head of course... If it is the head it could have damaged the pistons, valves or loads of stuff! Does the engine start?

Well there's your problem.... head gasket's gone. Dunno why though... I'd say water pump but you said you've just had that changed? Get it down to a garage and get it skimmed.

tis ok mate... I wanted it to use on the car i went to see to get bits... i wanted the battery tray for my C. Its all good though, aparently you can get them from VW... (feel free to correct me, i did get told this by Martin)

I know glaciers that have a higher turn of speed mate than the progress I've made! My C is kinda tacking the biscuit but needs must when your poor :brickwall:

All the wiring loom had been removed from the car prior to me getting there... I didn't want to connect the motor directly to the battery so I thought i'd just leave it till i got back. Worst case it's useless... best case it does work and i got a sunroof mech for a pittance! :) I'm more disappointed by the bumper tbh.. mine is hanging on by a thread and I was hoping this one would help but I reckon it's beyond repair... The plastic however is in better condition than mine, my C's bumper is cracked and melted round the exhaust cut away so that's the only reason i took it... That and it was a bargain. I'm surprised Martin wanted the car even with your recommendations, he seemed to think that all C's are better sent to the scrappy. I just kept quite, didn't want to annoy the sales man as it where... :lol: I'll have to re-spray all the panels and I'm in the middle of some deeeeeeeeeeeep cleaning on the Car (I'll post about that later tonight...) but don't you worry, the misses will ensure they get moved soon enough!

It's been almost 6 months since i last worked on the Corrado and over a year since she was last road legal... But I have finally started to DO something to get her back on the road! you: "What did you do pray tell?" Me: "well I went to Aberdeen of course!" you: " :scratch: " Me: " ABERDEEN man! the home of MartinVR6 from ScottishVAG forum of course! He had a poor old G60 that was literally MINUETS from being scrapped" you: "oooooh, well that's obvious now you say it like that.... :? . Do continue..." Well the deal was that this chap has been wanting to scrap this car since before Christmas, I managed to speak to him and asked for him to wait till after the new year... I then wiggled a lift of my mate who owns the Oak Green Mark 2 above ^ and got shot of a estate with a sunroof and off we went! I got:- 1. Bonnet with no rust 2. Rear bumper 3. Sunroof and Mechanism and rubber seals 4. intact handbrake gaiter and surround 5. MFA and head light stalks 6. Cigarette lighter and loom 7. heated washer jet wiring loom 8. Brand New coil pack 9. rear windscreen wiper with plastic washer jet cover 10. OEM med kit for centre bolster. All for £50.... I knew my good karma would repay me one day! It's not all good though... the whole reason for going was mainly the rear bumper and the sunroof mech, However, the car had no battery to test the sunroof and the rear bumper beam is in a sorry state... The plastic is spotless but the brackets and bumper iron is beyond repair... still.... Was worth going for all the other little bits i reckon! Well chuffed!

If any one hasn't recieved their rollers please pm me your details! I only have a few left to use as replacements and i wont be getting any more!

sorry, there are no more of these left in this group buy

Hi there every one! I need a shot of either a Petrol powered stehle saw/Reciprocating Saw OR a small portable generator for TOMORROW. I'll be in the Aberdeen area from about 11am to 3pm but will be travelling from Dundee so that area would bee convenient also. I'm needing these items to cut a Piece of sheet metal so it has to be pretty powerful but also there is no power... hence petrol or generator (to power my angle grinder) I know It's very short notice but any help that people could give would be very greatly received!! (to any MOD looking at this... I hope this is the correct area to post in! please feel free to move it around thou)

lambda is on the exhaust just after the Manifold i think. A faulty Lambda could cause you to run rich for sure...

Same here! lol no point me looking at the MPG :lol:

BTW buddy.. I had a similar episode with my Polo when I hit a pot hole and monkeyed my BBS solitudes... well gutted, they bent the rear and completely Split the front. HOWEVER... I got in touch with a company in Glenrothes (near where I live in Scotland) called "Magma Fabrication" who managed to not only re-weld the wheel but also rebalance them too. Did the business and cost about £50 a wheel. Just a thought

I think we should start using a "out of 100" score for films.... this 10/10 milarky really grinds my gears :nuts: I mean... Are you saying that you can't get better than "Despicable Me"? I'm sure you'll agree that you have seen better films... so how can it be 10/10? Anywho... I saw a film last night called "Catfish". It's a documentary about a chap in New York who finds love over the internet and discovers that the person he fell for on Facebook isn't all she turns out to be. It's all filmed by camcorder and includes some really nice graphic touches (using google map street view while the crew are driving down the interstate was a very nice touch for instance) and there's a twist at the end that certainly kept me guessing! So... In the Spirit of a more accurate system I'll give this film 85/100. :salute:

Welll then SURELY you'll be wanting a G60? All the handling of the short chassis with all the grunt of the VR.... :lol: :tongue:
