Is there any one in or around near Preston Lancashire that would be willing to drive there G to mine. Just for the sole reason of locating where all the vacuum pipes go to and from and to follow your loom and see what is missing from mine.
It would only be for around an hour or so just to cross check everything
It would be a great help

hi mate - not really got time to make the trip but if you have any particular questions or want pictures I should be able to sort whatever you need today...
cheers ad

Im just after finding out where some of the pipes should be leading off to. And what the bracket is in the last pic.
In the first pic i have two pipes that t piece out from the vacuum pipe to the master brake cylinder.
The second pic i want to know where the bottom and the clear/brown pipe goes too, i think by looking at it, it may go to the charcole canister.
In the third pic what attaches to the little brass elbow at the bottom of the throttle body.
Cheers

top - one goes to fuel pressure pod on fuel rail, other to ecu
2nd, it goes to a pipe under inlet manifold with a t in it. (inlet to isv)
3rd goes to the top of flying saucer in 2nd pic
4th - its an additional charger bracket, mounts to exhaust manifold/engine mount/outlet dome
-
etka is your friend it shows them all on there if i recall, will pull picture off if i find time
-
Just another quicky, Do I need to purchase a new coolant pipe from the heater matrix to the coolant pipe at the back of the block.
The standard pipe on the polo block has a larger fitment than the one on the G so my hose is too baggy, I haven't got enough length to pull some through and chop it to fit.
Gav
-
these are early/late spec i believe so you need an earlier one i think, which tend to be smaller.

Cheers Pete.
I shall get on the hunt for one
-
Another quicky, Fuel pipes is it worth me cutting the banjo bolts off the end's to make them fit the fuel rail, or should I buy some G40 specific ones and jubilee clip them on.
-
if the existing will fit without kinking just cut them, and jubilee them onto the fuel rail.
-
Just cut them down to size and jubilee clip them. That's all I did 14 years ago and they're still there now :D
-
where does the vac pipe from the bottom of the flying saucer go to?
-
see my post above!! goes to bottom of inlet manifold!!!
-
see my post above!! goes to bottom of inlet manifold!!!
Sorry pete i seem to have confused myself
In my first pic there are two vac pipes coming from the brake servo pipe, the top one goes to the fuel pressure pod, where does the other one go to?
The flying saucer the top one goes to the brass elbow in my third picture. and the bottom one goes to the T-Piece under the manifold, And the brown one goes to the charcoal canister.
Is that right just to confirm.
-
the other one goes the the ecu i think?
-
correct, pipes from the inlet to the servo - two t's one is to ecu, the other is to the fuel pressure reg
-
Aye it does dan
-
Cheers for your help guys.
Just one more whilst im on a role, on the top plastic boost pipe there is a valve which looks like some form of airflow sensor. I haven't got one of these so I need to buy one, can someone please let me know what it is called and where the best/cheapest place it to get one from.
Thanks again
Gav

it's usually just called a CO-pot but it actually contains the CO-pot and also an inlet air temp sensor.

Cheers fella.
I cant seem to find any on the net anywhere, would any body know a serial number for one of these as it would aid my search massively. Or should I just go to vw and see how much they are from there.
Gav
-
yeah since the part only appears on a g40 you're only likely to find one for sale on here, ebay or VW really.
-
Are they going to be an expensive part with being just g40 specific.
-
not really sure you'll have to ring vw if there are none on ebay. try ebay.de too
-
VW have only just made these obsolete in April so i cant get one from there apart from any old stock they have.
They were £71.41 each and the part number is 037906040B
Just for any one else that may be interested.
Gav

It's on G60's too according to google search results. I can't get on half the sites due to filters at work but take a look, I just put the above part no on its own into google.co.uk
This comes up for ebay.de, again I can't see it though, gets blocked. Apologies if it's no good!

I have just sent a message to a german fella on ebay.de he has the two hard plastic boost pipes for sale and the top pipe has the co-pot on it so i may be getting that as im i pipe down too, i have only just noticed.

On the engine block at the top on the back there are two sensors that just have a single spade connector on the end.
Is the wiring for these sensors in the loom that comes from the ecu through the bulkhead or is it a separate thing all together. The loom that I have has nothing on it to relate to these two sensors. Can anyone shed some light on this for me.
Gav
-
They are oil pressure sensors, there should be connections in the loom for them usualy with rubber boots that go over the single spade
-
Cheers fella. this is the link to my post about my loom, think i may get rid of it and try to find another one.

There is nothing on my loom for any oil pressure sensors.
-
Its like problem after bloody problem now.
I've filled the gearbox oil and that's now bloody dripping. Its coming out from where the gear selector arm comes out of the box. Its about a drip every 5-10 mins but I can imagine once i get the car running and it gets hot the oil will thin and start to run out. Is there an oil seal there that can be replaced easily or is it a case of removing the gearbox to do it?

Cheers fella, massive help ive got some on order so im going to pick them up on friday and fit it all over the weekend.
Another quick question.
What size is the bolt that holds the shield plate where the flywheel is (viewing window) as an M6 bolt is too small and an M8 is far too large. are these an odd size?
-
they are an odd size.
they have a 11mm head...
