right please forgive me for sounding like an arse but i’m sick of reading different things all over the internet and people claiming to be vw super mechanics when it’s clear they no jack sh*t.all i want is some proper advice from fellow g40 owners so i can get my car running again.
i will cut a long story short my g40 ended up with water in 3 cylinders due to being left sat for 3 years so i did a full rebuild changed every gasket,but bolt and everything i could.i then payed some clown to fit the engine as i had no room and weather to bad to do it on the front.turns out he blew 7 sensors,set the timing wrong and basically cocked the whole thing up.
since then i’ve replaced said sensors set timing marks as well as i can for a 28 year old motor and it still runs like a turd!ive replaced co2 pot replaced knock sensor replaced isv valve and also replaced blue temp sensor and wiring harness for sensor.the problem i seem to have is when blue temp sensor is unplugged revs won’t raise or drop so adjusting timing is making no difference.any suggestions on why blue temp sensor is not responding to anything?i aquired a dizzy new cap arm and leads from an auto jumble today so i’m going to stick that on as i think mine is abit suspect as it’s original bosch and took some damage early on.
if anyone can please give me some advice on this sore subject i would be incredibly greatful and apolagies if i come across as an arse as i say reading so much crap everywhere just frustrates me as i don’t know who and what to believe any more so if anyone has genuine helpful advice please feel free to help the situation many thanks in advance matt
