1991 Corrado G60

The timing belt slipped and at the moment I'm pulling 70-880 hours weeks with school and work. I have no time not the extra $ to send it to a shop to have the timing reset. The 1.8 is a non interference engine!!! Lots of recent work! Here is the listing on the vw vortex: http://forums.vwvortex.com/zeromodify?cmd=editpost&id=51365637

I need a DD for now. IE: Civic/Integra, Golf, etc.

How about a super-nice Volvo 240?

The usual reason why the timing belt slips on a G60 is that the crank keyway is stripped. That means a new crank is needed...

Possibly, but the crank pulley has a tooth that can shear off.

Ask me how I know.

In my case the keyway was fine, just needed a new pulley.

Definitely something to check though.

The keyway on my old G60 stripped. Found out at the track in Canada (Quebec) where no one spoke English. That bit.

If someone needs a PG crank (Corrado motor) give me a shout. The timing belt is easy as pie on that motor if you can find the TDC mark through the damn peep hole in the bell housing.

confirmed that the keyway is sheared from the pulley. New one on its way and ca ris no longer for sale.

Glad to hear you're keeping it after everything you've been through with it. Love that color.

Thanks, hopefully good things do come to those who wait! I'm gonna try my best to attend the challenge in '09 maybe will be bringing the '83 928S of my father in Law's he picked up for $1000.

That's why you mark the spot on the flywheel with paint.

It already is I'm gonna mark the Crankshaft mark and the cam mark with white paint also, My parts should e here later thisweek or early next week.
