potatonet

it was the cranktiming pulley, too much power and acceleration snapped the key

which pipe, the one going into the ISV or the brake booster pipe with the yellow end on it?

ok I might have found out what it is. the first time I dealt with a head flange I put on some gasket maker stuff, the expensive one you buy, the orange stuff. this is on the one on the side of my G60 head. my car was running in the 210-230 range today and I could push it before I changed the head flange in front this weekend. well I put on some more of that orange stuff to seal it. since I have been driving it the temps have been sitting at 230F the whole time, push it it overheats and makes bubbleness. does putting the orange gasket sealer on VW cars not work? should I stick with VW's flanges and their O-rings? and is this why my car is overheating, not a proper seal to the head so minor evaporation occurs creating airlock and creating heat? also could my block be cracked? and how do I check?

yes the UDAR RADAR systems do have to be signed off, the cop has to have a registration with the UDAR that is current to show he can use it, and the UDAR has to be within the calibration period, every so often they get recalibrated. all of these must happen in order for the ticket to be valid. very easy to get out of.

no the headgasket was replaced about 6 months ago, with a copper one and ARP studs, also no oil in water. the jabbasport fan is just thin and costs the same amount as one of our fans here, it also has 3 speeds? I know I shouldnt flip out but the thing is that I had it running at 190-200 with that thermostat. its kinda disconcerning when you press the gas and the temp goes down, then goes up. kinda pisses me off. wiring to the fan is completely strange, someone did a crack job on it and I am going to replace the whole system with a switch inside the car so I can run the fan off the battery if I want it on full speed. hopefully I can get this thing fixed, 230F is way to high for a G60. normal operating temps should be 180-200, your passat runs at 200F which I would love but my car is on some jacked up drugs.... I will try more today and hopefully it will go away....

ok so I have replaced all but fan and the car is still giving me crap. I replaced the head flange on front of my G60 today and it seems to have an air pocket am not sure but it got up to temp really quick like 2 miles and it was at 230F. the car has been running at 200-230F over the past little while. sometimes sitting lower, sometimes higher. if I push it it goes over 230 and the little light starts to blink, despite what people think its also a temperature sender, once the temp goes above 235F the light also goes on, its not just level sensor. anyway everything but the fan has been replaced in my car, I mean everything too. in about 2 weeks I am going to buy a slim fan from jabbasport and get them to post to US. the fan right now is a little wacko, doesnt turn on with switches but turns on when I put the climate controls on defrost, so I am running the heater in the summer =-/. I am going to replace both relays that control the fan soon but I just need to know why the thing skyrockets and stays there and sometimes doesnt, thermostat is brand new VW 87C. cant rightly figure it out. anyone got anything I know there are a lot of heat related posts but its been like 8 months of posting for me to figure this out. replace the head flange because it was leaking apparently though its 4 months old, yes it was tight, its just that junk VW plastic that leaks.

henny is blingin' no doubt looks like my friend matt with a mk IV GTI, wouldnt hold up in the states either, if it ever passed then a court appeal will be made and it will be an excused offense. I would buy it just for the hell of it to see if it does anything at all.

I have decided on going with a setup such as 215/40/16 toyo RA-1s with a BBS RG-F 16x7 wheel forged one piece at 14.5 lbs per wheel. speedometer is said to be exactly on with the 16 inch wheel and I want forged so... I can deal with the 16" instead of the 17" uber wheel.

campaign just wondering if you dont mind, how old are you?

storm and campaign, two classes in themselves.... still leagues apart.

.... its just wrong.... take a car that there are 4 or 5 of a kind and then modify it do make it the way you like it? no you get a corrado VR6 and then modify that because modifying those classics would just drop the value immensly, one day he might sell it, make a pretty penny too.

well at least henny looks smart.... hehehe. just kidding old boy. haha I have the same phone Jim has, and used it to take the drunkness of me as well. if only our camera phones could talk.

that is one of the most beautiful things I think I have ever seen

... put a screwdriver in between the ring gear on the flywheel and the tranny case, as stevemac says. mine was loose so it came off, used that part number and in the US we get the 12 point ones... kinda sucks. looked forward to a 6 point. yeah I am pretty sure it didnt eat a valve... unless that was why they had it for 3 weeks and "couldn't figure out what was wrong". how can I check to make sure I didnt eat a valve, or would i know already, it has plenty of power... compression came back 115 on all cylinders.

ok so anyone got any pictures? thats what I was looking for, campaign I know that one recently sold for 60,000 euros or pounds, it was amazing. in all actuality you have the rarest production vw in the history of their existence. prototypes are the only ones that are rarer at this point, how you got one I dont know. pics would be cool. and post a pic of yourself in the lets see what our members look like forum. AC would be great in the states, I have none being that I have an oil cooler that takes up half my radiator space. keep it stock, worth more that way. u better have a gun too cause one day I am coming over and stealing it! kidding.... 8)

205/40/17, possible to run 215's but rubs on bumps. best rim and tire = 16 and 225 40's. yes it does work I have tried it.

anyone seen one of these rare breeds? anyone on the forums own one? I am looking for some pics for my collection, thanks. the UK corrado club has some but they arent enough. thanks guys.

.... no one listened to me. I have just the black one, what do I do. will VAG Com 2x2 even work? yes I only have 1 looked about 10 times

BBM charge cooler.. nuff said.

uh a potatonet? I dont rightliy know, all I know is that I was watching TV one day and say 2 commercials one for the net and one for potatoes from idaho... thought it was clever?

some good came out of this, he learned something about lateral G's and rain, better?

walked away yes.... gonna die soon you bet.... feel bad for him.... nope!

we need a pic of henny and VR6 and supercharger, all the crazy posters..... want to see what the smart people look like

we need a picture of the mods....

crank timing! hehehe.
