Hi, i need some help, in my 1993 vr, one relay is missing but i don´t know the purpose of it and the relay number needed, this is a picture of it:

Definately nice bay. That is where my coil mounts on my C. Mine is a dizzy car though so I'm sure they are different. Maybe that is a base for the coil on dizzy cars and your doesn't need it. Now that I think of it, probably not but ya never know.

And another dumb question of mine. Why does my car have a distributor engine? I thought the updated interior 93's should have a coilpack, though mine does not. Is this normal?

And another dumb question of mine. Why does my car have a distributor engine? I thought the updated interior 93's should have a coilpack, though mine does not. Is this normal?

Normal. Early 93's with distributor have the interior, and no Secondary Air Injection, or Coilpack (Obviously). Old Faithful because col packs are indeed the devil.

So I'm going to revisit this question. I didn't clearly explain it well enough the first time. So I was doing front wheel bearings the other day and we were trying to locate exactly which one was the offender. So I gave both front corners a good "push" directly on the spring.

The ENTIRE strut assembly moved left and right about 1" springs and all. From the previous replys I'm thinking strut . My upper strut mounts look good, but I don't know how to check them.

So I guess my question is, should I be able to move the strut AT ALL? When the car is on the ground, they are rock solid.

Edit: So after looking through my receipts, the struts were installed at 20k miles, so they have about 60k on them. I'm guessing they could be getting pretty worn.

Easy enough to take the cap off the strut, lift the car and drop the strut out of the tower to check the mounts. The Bearings will require removal of the struts.

No the Coil on the Dizzy cars just bolt through the fire wall. But this is something else. I'd need to look it up in the Bentley. Or you could look at yours because I got s*** to do.

SAI relay (110 I believe) and fuse. do you have a big blower motor under the manifold in front of the car that looks like this?

Yes i have one, and finally checking color cables:


seems you are right, i was confused because there were other tracks with red/white wiring combinations...
thanks!

Just opened up my supercharger and found this waiting for me i have the parts to rebuild the charger is this going to affect it?

Yes, but you can do a small repair, fill the groove to where the apex groove is normal with JB weld. Just gonna have one short apex seal, but may be too short and grenade at high rpms, it's a toss up.

Is it possible to just get that inner section form some one? it would be allot less expensive then just buying the whole charger. I have inspected everything else and it all seems fine but that one part.

feel free to check the classifieds, I'm sure there are a few folks on there parting out good useable charger parts, but there were 2 different designs on the G-ladder IIRC, so make for certain you get the same part or it will implode or not spin at all.

How would i identify which one it is?

Its possible - you can even buy it brand new ....

...^^don't count on it tho

[Sr. Karmann]

You will see a definite design difference on the scroll, get lots of pictures, but IIRC it is the "fin" design

I am moving away for college in a few weeks my plan was to get my car done before i leave, but with this charger issue i am wondering if there is a way to bypass the charger and run it without it.

YES THERE IS, DO SOME RESEARCH IN THE g60 TECHNICAL FORUM OR ABOUT MIDWAY IN MY BUILD THREAD

So you used pvc pipe eh i think i understand how it works. As i was looking through your build thread i saw that you sent your supercharger to BBM did they do the JB weld?

[Sr. Karmann]

I did use PVC and left almost everything in tact except the charger, you need a smaller seep belt and the info on sizing is readily available. I did not let BBM do my rebuild, I did it myself and yes, I made plenty of power with a JB bonded scroll

hmm dealer sells them Still I might have to swing by my dealer see if they have any, I know original German folk sell handles also but without locks and that's something I don't have... Also I heard Passat door handles work what year of Passat??? Any other handles I could try?

Original german folks is the way to go, I have 2 of his on my C and they come with the new adjustable steel strikers, you can pick up lock cylinders anywhere and rekey so they all match your ignition & hatch. OEM from the dealer are over $200 each, just sayin

I would snatch a set at a local junkyard or find someone with broken handles

[corrado93]

Can someone tell where's this sound coming from? It's coming from the passenger side and seems to get louder as I go under the car.

[HavokRuels]

I JB welded mine after seeing your thread. It worked great!

[DaddyMassacre]

What offset (ET) are they?

[jettalvr41]

whats the best strut tower bar for vr6 and still keep the engine bay looking clean. do they make that big of a difference?

this is my sport themed car. all others were low and slow.

[DaddyMassacre]

I'll find out et's this afternoon

[RedYellowWhite]

OG Eibach flat bar FTW

$$$ tho...

do they make that big of a difference?

I think the general consensus is no....

That being said? Any other suspension plus options I should
Consider like rear sway and lower front stress bar ect ect

[cashmash123]

I cant figure out whats going on! when i speed up around 3000rpms if i push in the clutch and let go of the gas it starts going on its own? and also if i let go at around 3000 i feel a big jerk kinda like the pressure is building up but not being released properly?
you can hear the jerk noise when i let go at 3000 in it and also at the end you can hear how it starts going on its own when i let go at 4000 and I have to push the gas again to make it stop rising

I did just fill it up for the first time since I got it and put in just normal gas not any of that high octane stuff... could that be doing it?

[Dustydelux]

So, i just finished working on my g60 it has not been used for over a year i bought it in dallas and drove it back and parked and started to tare it apart. When i bought it from the guy it was running all right not that great but not to bad. when i got home took around 4 hours it stared to load up and run reallly rich and started to die on me since then i have done alot of work on it i have replaced all cooling hoses, radiator, plugs,wires, cooling sensors and allot more. finally today it we cranked it over. it is running terrible. It can not idle at all i cleaned the Idle Stabilizer Valve with carb cleaner nothing i have found some vacume leaks on the MAP sensor running to the ECU we cut the bad part off some were i heard it must be 1m long is this true? I took it out around my block and it was terrible i was cutting in and out jerking and would barely run it was dark and i had my lights on the whole dash panel was flickering on and off and it was jerking and sputtering. there is a amp connected in the back so i wondered if that is drawing to much power maybe fuel interjection is messed up? i thought i would post on here see if i can get any advise. I also bypassed the supercharger as it is cracked and i am saving up for a used one in good condition.
