Title: G60 Flywheel
Post by: Grand Master Patch on 30 August 2009, 10:18

I have a G60 flywheel here,is it worth exchanging for a new one or will this used one be fine?

They're very tough & don't really have that hard a life, but if you want to exchange it for peace of mind, then I'll think you'll get about £25 exchange for it from VW.

Might just keep this one and get it fitted before the stage2 map,it's bound to go soon afterwards anyway :grin:

tough as old boots.. use the money you might have put towards an exchange on a new one and get it lightened instead :afro:

How much lighter would you recommend? It's 9KG at the moment.

Apparently, lightened G60's vibrate a lot more in Mk4's, though??  :undecided:

I've read that you can lose some torque if you go too light aswell....?

Not sure about that, but I know the lighter it is, the quicker the revs drop off when you change gear.

Got mine for £20 off a mate who was breaking a valver about a year ago

Not much, just a skim.. atleast that way you can be confident it's balanced right too. Quicker rev-up = quicker spool.
