    Link to keep in your favourites https://www.autobahnautoworx.com/products/vw-corrado-complete-hood-cable-setup Sold out at the moment, but did have stock 1 week ago. Alternatively as others have said - bike cable and some trumpets from Phenix Engineering https://www.phenixengineering.com/products/corrado-hood-cable-horns However those trumpets are similar to, say these bike cable knarps and could probably use in their place: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/283640477366?_skw=cable+knarp&epid=4037617857&itmmeta=01J9HGQ1ENQEDVBXTVGJ2HZV7N&hash=item420a4a36b6%3Ag%3A3KkAAOSwPxpg-ysp&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAAwHoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKlVeqraj%2FM4XE2h5tJjNLmwFK7pspqCbS9SmImn5syttQGav5pRfst0v2x73Z4N44q2uvdvrELTgU2%2BVWkuLhnjbSMqQL0Erp2WDxoQhOYRa2IAvkq%2FwDBhtCx6G30XMiLf%2FhVznpFuMJ%2F7fI9XIM6zW2Fupor3ExE15Nf8NtE3f3hz2Kx%2BSZNUG3P6O4frRWhYcuE%2Fd4g%2FLDNPci4%2BviTzEpvPKMcT1O0E6O4fCHBm6w%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR7CX3LDMZA&fbclid=IwY2xjawGGOn5leHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHQvpzy855Lg0Y47BywR3hvohUGPtZFEwN6zr4Hgvf0NpTd3H_O7zon9uzw_aem_LQ2JHxiIfgnVplC43OeVRg

    Welcome to the forum- they pop up on eBay once in a while, or as above - a tandem gear shift bicycle cable - at the end of the day it's just a bowden cable cut to a certain length.

    I think easypops has the solution using a bicycle cable welcome to the forum

    Hi I've just signed up to the forum as I am in search of a bonnet cable to finish off my build. It's ben going since January and should have been a relatively simple drive train swap from a 20vt swapped Corrado into another (better) shell, along with the suspension, brakes, etc., however the bloke who was putting his name to it decided he didn't want to see it through and it's been left in the hands of the good folks whose space he was using. They are taking it on and it is (I believe) nearly finished, but I am finding it very hard to get a bonnet release cable. It's been dragging on too long and I am beginning to feel overwhelmed by it. Don't know how to put a picture in other than from a URL and I've not hosted it anywhere. Anyway 🖖

    Hi just enjoyed the program apart from the test drive at the end, how did the gentleman that bought this car drive this manual car with one arm without disabled adaption ?

    Fair play for keeping it all this time. mk3 abf 16v is what they should have put in place of the 2.0 16v 9a unit. Sounds great, keep us updated.

    Love this car !

    Wow, so long since I last posted, not sure to be amazed this thread is still hear or as amazed I still own this Corrado. The bad news is for the last 10 years its been in a garage collecting mainly dust and slowly a new engine. Very long story but back in 2012 I would have just been starting my first ever 'proper' job post university and that involved a lot of driving in the Corrado every day. Some long hours led to driving at weird times of the day and one such late evening I had the pleasure of being stopped by the police 'just because'. Unfortunately, I had two tyres below the legal limit and this ended up meaning some points for me and the car having to go through its MOT again, but in the area where I worked not my preferred garage. To put it bluntly they butchered the timing on the fuel injection and for love nor money it never ran right again and was quickly side lined for something more reliable. However, I happened to be able to source another engine from a friend who was getting rid, and so the plan was for a slight upgrade to a 2.0 ABF (Mk3 GTI) engine. And that's where it has been now with having the work done back in Lincolnshire while I have moved countries and back again in the last 10 years always with the hope of getting it back on the road. This is why I decided to post as its starting to get closer to that goal, subframe has been refreshed and refurbished alongside as many ancillaries as possible (yet to get a bill as to everything) and just the wiring loom now causing issues and sourcing heritage parts (I actually work for VW now and still a PITA). As you can tell it hasn't exactly been a rush to get it done and Im sure it will be a while to go yet but hoping there are still enough people around here for the odd question or too as I finally get it running again and then can start addressing some bodywork issues and other bits and pieces while its been in storage. Selection of pics some from during but mainly from when it was finally taken out of the shed to go to the wiring loom expert!

    Good luck Dougie. Mine is booked in end of the month for a proper alignment with rear shims and camberbolts and changing clutch master and slave. Horrible to drive at the moment due to bad alignment.

    Just to update on my banjo bolt situation.... After a short hospital stay I finally got a chance to look into getting the old girl sorted and to my surprise when I looked at the smaller of the two banjo bolts, the one I took off the car didnt have the small filter in it, so I presume at some point its been changed and not with an OEM bolt. Given the car ran fine, just going to run on that basis, so ordered a couple of HEL performance stainless steel ones and also ordered a couple of the large bolts from the LLL website, so thanks for those Matt it was very useful. No excuses for me now! Dougie

    nice line up n3p. ULEZ etc is a bugger for those it affects, a Corrado in the garage would be a lovely thing to have when wanted alongside any of those lovely motors 😄
  46. n3p
    I do still check back every now and then as I love Corrados! Had a chance to buy another recently but the ULEZ thing just doesn't make it worthwhile to me 😞 I've had a few different cars since, but nothing has quite scared me as much as my VR6 turbo did - good times! Since I sold my Corrado, and boring cars aside I've had owned the following: FK8 Type R - best handling car I've owned to this day! W205 C63 AMG 971 Panamera GTS Current - DB11 V8 (Missed the C63 engine that much!)

    Could be, I've no idea. Might just have seen an opportunity to save a few pence on costs with no loss of performance. Somewhat ironically, I think the cold starting issue (which started this process) may have just been due to a loss of pressure from fuel leaks. It's been sat for a couple of months whilst I looked into all this, so I replaced the battery and it started first time. Might replace the fuel pump anyway as the Bosch seems a good unit and it should give a lot more miles of service than the existing. The Pierburg can be a spare.
