this weekend managed to get a few things sorted: New OEM gear knob fitted OEM grill fitted New number plates Car completely undersealed removed front bumper and painted front cross member and iron bumper bracket new splitter fitted with all new bolts New seats fitted!! Think i may keep the alloys...just need a refurb

im in :-)

it is the tow eye cover, heard about this when i had my first G60,i drilled three reasonable sized holes in the cover above the tow eye just incase.....

im having this same problem too, front passenger side is bone dry too, removed passenger seat and lifted carpet and floor is very wet! pulled doorcards off and cant find any trails of water :-(

Hi mate, i used to know a technician from Birmingham who now works in vw at redditch i beleive, he used to work on my G60 and knew alot about them his name is Carl, if you know him tell him Mike says Hi! remind him he used to service my G60!

i just spent most of my working day reading this whole thread....Alex....you are seriously DEDICATED!!!, many would have given up or looked for a new motor!! well done mate!

on my 3rd one, so i reckon about 25k easlily on all 3 including purchases, bearing in mind on all 3 i replaced most parts with new items....worth it tho, much rather do that than buy a new car for 25k and 3 years later its worth 10!!

i too bought a lower front grill last week???!! ill check back at my vw dealers and see what they say...........

nice beading on the bonnet there :-)

yours now or was yours?? selling the leathers by any chance!!??

i called earlier....sold straight away as expected!!!

UPDATE: few parts picked up from the dealers, even parts ive been told were obselete in the past i managed to get brand new... so ive got hold of: Brand new gear knob new 90mm splitter re-enforcement bar for splitter with all clips and screws clips for interior rear window heater switch!!! front grill lower towbar cover!!!! lots of nuts and bolts bit of autoglym bumper care should do the trick...........

Best advice is, don't do the the test in the c,if anything,park her up,work on her slowly restoring and making her mint..buy a polo for £500 and get some no claims...wait a year or 2 and you'll be fine.I'm 27 and pay £170 fully comp under classic car policy.

yep i agree. to be honest ,mine hasnt been done and im scared to put my foot down, everytime i do im listening for a loud bang......off to g werks!

Volkswagen made to charger as a sealed unit never to be serviced i believe so aslong as regular oil changes with moderately sensible driving is done, i believe they are infact very reliable, I once spotted a mature dude (old guy) in a g60 and asked him if he'd ever had the charger done, he looked puzzled and said my local vw dont do that, he'd had it from new and it had 128k on the clock on the original charger, i believe he still has it!.

cheers Coullstar, cool, if they are driven correctly, i.e warmed up properly and not redlined i guess they are fine, this is my 3rd G60 and ive never done a charger service on any and they've been 100% reliable although my previous two had 60k on, regret selling them really. I think ill get it done for peace of mind though!

@ Alex, i was going to stay oem but they are bilstein shocks with a 40mm drop on koni springs, Hey Jim, I live in Handsworth wood but currently work in london monday to friday but around most weekends, cool, my uncle lives in leamington not to far from cov

Helios Blue, thing is my phone makes it look different all the time! sometimes blue, sometimes purple!

So few more things before i start cleaning her up...had to get a new windscreen due to a huge crack, car flew through the MOT after this :-) At the moment the engine is completely standard with 104k and runs great....however the charger has never been serviced so I think thats next, im tempting to leave it as boost is spot on but think id better get my self down to G werks asap to be sure. I wanted to keep her oem but a set of bilstein shocks and 40mm konis got me so she sits nice, what do you guys think of the rims? got 4 wheel laser alignment done.....and a trip to volkwagen resulted in the purchase of lots of new nuts and bolts, near gear knob, brand new 90mm splitter and a various bits. so more pics soon....

i think people just respray....i have a set for sale if your after some :-)

best chuftie i ever had.... police pulled my over, i was aware he was behind me so i knew i wasnt speeding, he came to my window and said 'no bother mate, just wanted to check your car out as ive always wanted one!' talked for about 30 mins!!
