G60 niggles

[AndyUzz 0]

Hi All,

Back end of last year I bought a Corrado g60 after wanting one since I was old enough to drive.

I've got it back on the road and now want to start bring it back to some sort of 'former glory'. 

Have a few issues like with all old Volkswagens Firstly the window rattle which I believe is due to to worn regulator rollers, I have messaged the guy on here ear who sells them my but not yet heard back( fingers crossed).

Secondly I have had a a jetex stainless steel exhaust fitted and it knocks on the rear beam anyone else suffered with this?

And finally for now has anyone got a standard gear knob for sale or know where there might be one

I know forum traffic is nothing like it was 15 years ago when I lost many evening's reading and writing posts about these money pit volkswagen's but any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Hi and welcome!

The window rattle - you are on to the right chap. Sit tight and I'm sure he will get back to you.

The exhaust would probably just need adjusting to clear the rear beam properly. Something you might be able to do on your back with the car in the air (on axle stands - with a mate?). Loosen the exhaust clamps and twist the section so the loop bit goes higher...

Can't help you with the gear knob, but see if someone  chimes in here, or create a post in the Wanted section?

 

What year and colour is your G60?

Phil

It's a J reg grey G60, pretty much standard apart from a few choice Ripspeed add ons that I am binning as I go along.

I had a Jetex on my vr6. The bloody thing ate part of my rear bumper it moved about on its hangers so much, I had to use bits of rubber tube/pipe and some jubilee clamps to hold the the hangers in place as the brackets for the Jetex aren’t the best. Then when I’d fixed that I got an unmolested bumper  😖.
