Phhheeeeew!

Its been a busy week! Sold my MK1 cabrio sportsline.... :-(

And, I fixed the G60. It came down to being the crank bolt and pulley. The pulley moved slightly on the crank under load, hence threw off the timing by many degrees... A new pulley, and OLD TYPE crank bolt was fitted. Timed up and adjusted, and all was fine! It runs as sweet as ever, and it pulls stronger than it used to!

So, for all of you running the ''8.8'' strength crank bolt, get it changed before it causes you hazzle as well!

Ohhh, the G60 is going up for sale now.... Too many cars...

I think somebody also mentioned the key and keyway that the pulley mounts on? :huh: Can anyone shed some light on this?  :undecided:
I'm getting rather twitchy about the old shed now. Mind you, the insurance runs out this weekend, so it's coming off the road. :wink:

that sounds very familiar, as i think that bolt is non stretch, problem being the G60 ones are stretch bolts i believe. mine comes off the road in november, sounds like something to tinker with over the winter.

People did used to use a non stretch bolt from another model, however the g60 bolt from the dealer has now been replaced with a non Stretch bolt anyway. If you want to be double sure,call darren at g-werks.
