sounds like the shaft/seal are worn and the hall sender connector is snapped, best get a complete recon replacement, a s/h one may also leak oil and you have no idea how old it's hall sender will be.

part is N 903 350 04 clamping washer, I'm sure VW still do them as they were used on loads of VW's including mk4 golf.

:) programme started with a general intro about car clubs, track days etc, and there was one close up clip of Mincy leaving/entering the track area complete with driver sporting crash helmet, my first reaction was 'look, Corrado!' like whenever I see one :lol: and then 'I know that plate!'

very good question, I'd say nothing, I've done over 50K on the valver's recon pump in 10 years with no issue whatsoever, I know at least pug 306's use the same pump as the 4 cyl corrados and they just use standard LHM green hydraulic fluid.

Just seen mincy on 'Ultimate Car Tuning' on Information TV (ch402) on Freesat :)

I reckon you should go for a BM over an Audi Jim, solid as they are the audi's don't match up to the BM's as a driver's car. The A6 of that era seems much like any of the earlier 2wd audi's, heavy, front wheel drive and very little steering feedback, don't get me wrong, the A6 rides well and corners well, the double front wishbone setup must help a fair bit, but you don't have any steering feel to speak of, not the most inspiring engines either, I'm assuming you won't be looking at RS6's!

not with an LT steering wheel fitted, no :lol:

nope, my 1050cc polo felt like it definitely had no more than 45bhp :)

Jeese! that's even cheaper than topgear found them for, is it a cut 'n' shut or something?

So what happened with the head?, from reading all of this it certainly looks like the coolant system is being pressurised by an engine cylinder leak. bear in mind that at a steady drive the engine will only be developing about 30-40 bhp, so unless you are towing a caravan or the ambient temp is 50 degrees C then airflow should be plenty to keep the engine cool. You seem to have already eliminated everything else, new rad, exp tank cap etc...

yep, just the bare door is pretty easy, although heavy, so handy to get someone to support it while you remove hinge bolts.

Despite the danger to innocent bystanders I always find myself willing them to get away, same with Police, Camera action programmes etc. must be a sympathy for the underdog type thing. :shrug: Useless police near me should spend more time nicking Parents driving at 60mph past our school than chasing lads down the dual carriageway.

your account on the Corrado forum is hereby cancelled, ...and we know your IP so don't even think about re-registering

aren't they just part of the shell pressing, i.e. a mk2/3 hatch body without the window holes punched out? I doubt there are metal panels that fit in place of the glass, for security as much as cost of manufacture.

The full acrobat program (not just the free reader) has a handy save-as-html option, so I just did that on your pdf. It creates a fairly clean and simple (unlike Word does) html file of the same content. If you want to you could download a free html editor from somewhere on the web to edit this file and add more links etc. (much like the forum post editor built into the c-forum) or you can just open the html file with notepad or a similar text editor and change/add to the html manually. With html you can either put your formatting (text size, colout etc.) into the html itself or have a separate stylesheet that all your html pages refer to, if you do it that way then you can refer lots of web pages to the same stylesheet (css file) and update the look of multiple documents on your site by just changing one file. Anyway, I've attached the html file :) had to do that as a zip as the forum won't allow html files to be uploaded directly, but once on your site you can link from a forum post to the html page fine. Corrado Parts.zip

Blue95 in Milton Keynes has done this, great result but a lot of work.

it can take higher torque better, it's a little more rigid than the standard one so allows slightly less movement of the gearbox.

If you have notepad you can do it :)Or you could just save as html from word or open office etc.I'll do it for you tomorrow if you like and explain it so you can add to it. It's really no more complex than writing forum posts with links in and so on.

Ah, I see, but I'd put a plain old html web page on your own website instead, if you're viewing on a phone or even a pc a pdf is a drag to open as the file may be treated as a resource to download separately or the user might not even have a pdf reader available, I'd save pdfs for detailed instructions where you have detailed high res images/diagrams and want to completely control the layout and formatting for the user. Sorry, I'll stop waffling now :)

Sorry, I realised I should have thought about posting that, after I'd done it! Off at a tangent, why do you have a link in you Sig to a pdf that just has links back to the forum :scratch:

Oh no, not again! :)

Holy cr4p! I got a tube from Stanford Hall a couple of years back for a quid!

I think they said in the programme that they sold her car, would you sell a corrado and keep a Kia Picanto :lol:

Just watching this recorded from earlier, we both suddenly cottoned on when we saw first glimpse of the side of a corrado :)
