Re: G60 block (Corrado Alley)

Only reason why I ask is I'm having water pump\ timing belt new cam seals done. It's something the mechanic just blurted out. I wanted to see if that was correct

Re: G60 block (vwg60saabturbo)

yeah I'm sure the block is differant now because I remember when I was trying a G60 bracket on a ABA motor it had a differant bolt pattern for the waterpump. I mentioned this to a another diehard VW guy and he said its not the ABA being differant from other 4 cylinders its the G60 being differant from the rest. So yes the mechanic was right
