    Thanks James, Hope all is well. Collecting it Friday so fingers crossed she gets home - . The owner has done some useful work to recommission her- generally consisting of new tyres on all corner- internal and external fuel pump- accumulator and hel stainless swirlpot lines , new rad fan and fan switch sensors- warm up regulator refurbished by KTI Engineering., water pump, alloys refurbished. The jobs I have planned refurb gutter seals - Paint bonnet, bumpers x2 Conti timing belt kit Drive shaft volocity seals. Rear exhaust muffler ARB bushes I knocked him off 2k off for that exact reasons mentioned above. That will get the car to a very good condition- will just change parts from thereon within when needed. Cheers

    Welcome back again fella, you were never staying away were you!!! Looks like a tidy motor youā€™ve picked up there, you do seem to have a knack for finding them!

    Thanks mate will do - my first job will to be refurb the roof gutter seals as the side d shaped rubbers have perished . VR sounds amazing mate will have to meet up at Gilks this summer and show me the fruits of your labour. Vince did my wire loom, but you will need a dual pole sender - a vdo unit m10 x 1 thread from memory- which oil pressure gauge do you have 0-10 bar or o-5 bar - 4 cylinder early tend to be 5 bar and later cars like vr have 10 bar, One really nice little classic touch the car comes with is some rubber hybrid carpet votex blue car mats - never seen them before and in mint condition.

    yeah life is pretty good & apart from the gauges, now ive finally got the Modena's, the only thing left for the VR are the gauges yes the gauge panel have VW markings & part number but i couldnt figure if it was a corrado or a golf part - i actually got it off Zak the loom maker from here thanks the help would be cracking. i have got the gauge fitting instructions off here in the wiki IIRC but im not quite sure how they wire in & where they fit to. i will dig them out & take some pics to send you for comparison ive still quite a hoard from the parts you gave me so let me know if you end up needing anything & i can take a look.

    Nice one Goldfinger hope all is well. The Kamei kit sold it to me for sure ! I fitted some gauges to my old g60 mate - I cant picture how I did it now but I will be taking the oil bar pressure gauge out at some point as its not functioning correct so will get some pictures. I know the two grommets (cover screws either side are the same as the B pillar grommets above seat belts. It might be mate that the late dash has different fixing holes chap perhaps that the screws house to. I cant remember the fixing legs at the bottom of mine- is your gauge panel original mate ?

    nice to see you back keyo, hope you are well cracking spec on that find! not many of us out there with an X1 kit & nothelle's too my old 16v was non ABS too but that had electric windows oddly, looking at the pics, i have one of those centre console pods & gauges but i couldnt figure out how it fits - there are 2 locating kind of looking things at the bottom of it any chance, when you have time, you could try to see how it fits for me pls? i would be very grateful

    Thanks Cressa, Hope all is well mate. The car just needs some paint caused by garage knocks moving bits and bobs round the car.- stone chips as well. It has never had any paint so will do the bonnet, front and rear bumper - that's about it. Not going down that route again of a full restore- the car itself is absolutely solid - I even pulled out the fuel filler cap rubber seal and no build up of dirt whatsoever or rot - floor pan, sills, wings rot free and the subframes are still matt black- i might just do the bumper irons and brackets powder coated when bumpers off No name has come to mind yet but im sure it will be called a .unt from time to time !

    Worth checking the WUR to see if that does shut off. I have an 8v mk2 kjetronic and club GTi has a wealth of info on there

    Welcome back mate. I did see that car for sale and thought, What a beauty. A very special car indeed. Congratulations on your purchase of it, and coming back on here. There can't be anything you would change on it, surely. Enjoy your ownership of it. And what's the Cars name?

    Hi Gerry , Hope all is well mate. Ive only ever seen another white RE2000 corrado and I believe that car is dead . This car was owned by a guy from Stockport way called Bowler Joe- been in his family all his life - one can only imagine he was a huge golf fan and asked GTI engineering to build his dream spec VW as the Corrado was the next big thing to own in the VW world- he certainly new his stuff, Bowler Joe sadly passed away some years back in his 80s and I purchased the car off his grandson . What really makes it for me is the helios blue, X1 Kamei and the recaro , I had a chance to buy it and t was an opportunity I could absolutely not refuse . Another huge bonus is that its is a none ABS car and also has manual windows but electric mirrors- work that one out. Cheers.

    Good to see you back Keyo Where on earth did you find that - that is a true unicorn can only be a handful of those ever built

    Thanks Dox, I can honestly say its shit off a shovel and what amazed me is how well the suspension travel is how it sucks up the bumps- the engine casing is blue which apparently is a GTI Engineering trade mark. Crazy car to think someone in 1990 purchased it and spent a whopping 27k including the mods- would of thought they would of gone for a G60 but perhaps at the time only available in LHD. I can say its a better package then a G60 after owning both. In todays money this car would of cost per Bank Of England Inflation calculator. What would goods and services costing Ā£ in 1209 1210 1211 1212 1213 1214 1215 1216 1217 1218 1219 1220 1221 1222 1223 1224 1225 1226 1227 1228 1229 1230 1231 1232 1233 1234 1235 1236 1237 1238 1239

    Hello everyone Hope all is well. Back in the Corrado game just could not say no to this Kamei body kitted RE200 GTI 170 BHP Engineering car. Truly nutty car that was purchased new from GTI Engineering with lots of added extras . Very rare colour to Helios blue with a Kamei X1 body kit- what a mental spec ! Car dealer stamp on code sticker is GTI Engineering First registered 02.1990 - absolute no brainer with the historic tax only a few years away and have plenty of 16v parts shared with my Mk2 Golf. I use Peter James Insurance now - to add it onto my MK2 policy it only cost Ā£55 and that includes rescue- now ladies and gents that is cheap motoring !

    itā€™s worth trying to gently pull the handle and have someone else bounce on the bonnet at the mechanisms, itā€™s probable itā€™s the catches that are stuck as much / more than the cable. If that doesnā€™t work and you can get the front grill off itā€™s possible to manually release the mechanism at each side, although itā€™s pretty awkward.Much easier with a second pair of hands.

    I donā€™t know 16vs tbh. from cold it will run ignoring lambda until a set temp, Iā€™d be looking for an air leak. maybe drop Crasher a pm? He knows 16v engines and there issues

    Thanks Dox, thankfully I only have four plugs to worry about šŸ˜‰ It is only rough running when warm. If I unplug the water temp sensor it runs fine on the open circuit, when up at temp. Have replaced water temp sensor and lambda sensor and it is still the same. I am presuming now things like leads and rotor, dizzy cap etc are all good as it does run well and is more an ecu based issue (either ecu itself, or what the ecu controls on the basis of the lambda and temp readings) Wondering if fifth injector is stuck open as unplugging it makes no difference when running rough as I suspect it is overfuelling not running lean. It's a ballache! Dougie

    The bonnet of my corrado has been open for several seasons and the release cable has rusted/jammed. I closed the bonnet foolishly to check alignment and of course I cant release it. Do I keep pulling the handle and risk snapping the cable or where do I squirt wd40? Help!

    Mate of mine just bought a mondeo st220 (he had one before, regrets selling it), flatbed dropped it off Saturday 1pm, rough idle, seller couldnā€™t sort it, owned the car for 10 years, had the plenum removed and new plugs PITA job on the rear bank on these. mate did due diligence, pushed a lead fully home and alls good- lead had pushed up the rubber cap.
