Ongoing Projects / Re: My Polo G40 KCK

« Last post by Jester on Yesterday at 05:02:25 pm »

My cars have had even less use this year due to the circumstances, now working from home full time. Drove the G40 for a bit today, I always forget how great these cars are, gave it a long overdue wash & vacuum.

Exterior and Interior / g40 gearstick gaitor

« Last post by hayesey on September 18, 2020, 01:57:33 pm »

Does anyone know of a decent gearstick gaitor that fits nicely onto the console of a g40? I know there are loads of generic ones but can anyone recommend one that fits well and looks as standard as possible?

Hi all.
Having had(Corrado g60) and now wanting the supercharge buzz again, i'm looking for a polo g40. Not too fussed on condition, I'm a bit of a rescue addict. As long as it's running and not too far gone. Must be an original g40 any colour.
Thanks Steve

Engine and Transmission / Only Polo G40 in Australia, please help! PSD 1341cc, Jabba R1, etc.

« Last post by Down_under_23 on August 29, 2020, 01:19:24 pm »

I am proud new owner of the only G40 in Australia. The car was or is in need of a lot of TLC, heaps of seized bolts , lots of leaks so i decided to pull the engine to do oilpan, gaskets, crankshaft seals, new clutch etc etc.

. I am just putting a new timing belt in and wondering why the timing is off. It was running ok, but couldnt really test, as after purchased the clutch slips as soon as it builds up torque. The previous owner obviously didnt feel it. It had heaps of grunt for sure.

As on picture. Should i time it the same, on top of the O, or line the original marks up as supposed. The block suppose to be a 1341 Pitstop development with Jabba R1 GLader and chip. Could that be a reason for the different marks?

Help would be highly appreciated

Regards

Seb

Electrical / URGENT wiring relay tank/gas burn and wiring disconnected behind cluster need he

« Last post by DerbyG40 on August 16, 2020, 05:55:29 pm »

Hi !

I've a big problem and I hope find some answer here.

So I've move some part to see more and maybe touch something I'm not sure so I prefer ask you. As you can see in pictures. I've found a wiring free black/black-blue like that. It's possible it's connected to the second wiring brown with withe connector ? It's the only free I've found behind the clusters where I've work.

And second problem. When I start car, she's dies directly. I've don't listen the pump turning so I've check the relay. It's dead ( blue oxydation) but I've reconnected that instantly I've the connector burn. Just onne cable!  And after retry I've see the pin of relays it's done. He return inside the relay and I can listen some noise inside. But it's possible the relay dead instantly like that? Or it's the cable who I find disconnected?

Many thank for all
