owen g60

Have you cleaned and re lubed your isv??? This is the usual source of hunting on idle Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Been fighting it for months. Going to do a few minor adjustments to the pipes to make the fit a little better. Also just ordered nice new shiny Mikalor clamps to make it a little nicer and hold everything really tight Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mines August 1992. Is there a way to tell if it has OBD1?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

bump anybody got a driver one??

anybody also add a front grill 3 slat one condition not too important as long as it has a clip or 2 and a vw badge

any ideas on how to talk to the ecu on a G60??? can only get ABS codes

nuggets are few and far between. do you know what flavour it was 16v or g60. g60 being by a fair amount the rarer of the 2

Success!!! Went and had another go at the golf 180 bend and pipework today. I left it last night with just the bend fitted and no pipes linking anything. Thought I would try a different tact and removed the headlight and grille for a bit more access. Finally got everything to line up nicely. 180 bend in place. Also got the intake path sorted Just before I took the last picture also changed the coolant reservoir and cap for new items. Then removed and replaced the thermostat and flange, full system flush and a refill with G12+ and distilled water. Just need to get a blue and black temp sender set as I think mine are shot. For once a couple of successful bits of maintenance carried out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not such a good day today... managed to get the golf 180 bend fitted, however cant get the pipes to line up with my td5 intercooler. Gave up at 6pm when it was too dark to work. Am probably going to have to take the front off and see if i can modify the cooler to sit slightly differently so things line up. Looks like its gonna be an early morning to get it started tomorrow. Suppose it will be easier to do things with the front off too.

rod doesnt have the correct rad cover.... am wanting to do as much of the engine plastic in one hit if i can let me know what you have

been a little while since i did an update. finally got the intercooler to throttle body pipe in my hands (first one went to the ukraine for some reason) been tidying a few bits and pieces up... new(ish) coilovers fitted... 4 point laser alignment done. cooling issues sorted, turned out to be a stuck thermostat. all oil leaks stopped....... finally.... been leaking from various places since november. the stage 5 charger that has sat in my tool box since the R/R day will soon be back in the car. rebuild kit is on its way from germany, will be dis-assembeling the charger tomorrow so it can be blasted and painted. (I will put up a stripping and build guide for anyone who is interested) The ones i have found on the web are crap, and as we have so much other information available here why not make this another thing to add. Still to come.... various parts are being massed ready to be painted and fitted after i get the only rust spot on the car treated and repainted. Hopefully by this time next week i will have put the new thread for the charger up and will finally be running with some decent boost again.

booooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! :D

want a second hand one as im gonna sand and paint it... see no point in doing that to a new one at stealers prices

As the title says. needed again for painting. Any other G60 engine plastics considered too as ive probably forgotten a load

pm me with a price please :)

Keep me posted guys. May only need a drivers one if I win one on eBay tonight Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have found the ones provided by GSF were OEM It can be hit and miss what brand you get from them but so far i have managed to get all OEM parts when using them at a fraction of the cost. ---------- Post added at 09:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 PM ---------- or failing that classic parts or vw heritage will have them

have you checked your distributor is timed correctly?? didnt see anything in the thread about checking it

that amount of oil is ok.... if it gets much more than this i would advise a rebuild

go and buy a rear brake cable for a tandem bike as original ones are now obsolete

Cheers put it in my reminders :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
