G60 Maintenance Faults

MrGTI house reference

The G60 supercharger (Mk2 Golf/Corrado G60, the 8-valve 1.8 with the scroll-type "G-lader") is a cult engine, and keeping one alive is all about charger maintenance — the G-lader is a wearing part that needs periodic rebuilding, unlike a turbo. Owners who understand this run them for years; those who don't grenade the charger. See G60 Supercharger for the overview
