Hi. Old post.. I never did get around to fitting these and I don't have the car any more. If anyone is interested in them drop me a PM.

Sorry for the delay - I have agreed something, I'll PM you if anything changes. Thanks!

Hi! This is my Volkswagen Corrado VR6. I've owned the car since April 2014 and it has been my main transport since then. It has been a fun and reliable car, and I am very fond of it.. but I need something newer, more comfortable and more presentable. (Also, my wife won't drive it) so I am considering selling. The car goes really well, is a pleasure to drive. The body work is generally solid with no major rust anywhere underneath MOT is valid until 18th July 2016 and it has had 4 new tyres fitted My Corrado has an LPG conversion fitted by the previous owner. this works well - No noticeable loss of power and switches cleanly between Petrol and Autogas running. the Gas tank is a donut shaped one in the boot where the spare tyre would go. Holds 30 litres, which currently costs about £ 17 to fill up. This makes it comparatively cheap to run. Millage is almost 149,000 and being used still. The car did have a reconditioned VEGE engine fitted at 100,000 miles and this is mentioned in the history. I can't tell you why as it was several owners ago. It's been completely reliable for me apart from an intermittent starting problem last winter, that turned out to be the battery on it's way out. It does have many minor imperfections and faults however though, which I will try to detail. It's also a car at an age that it needs to be taken care of, and my ham fisted daily use is starting to take it toll on some of the controls and fittings. Things wrong with it. * Various dings from careless car doors in car parks. * the front bumper is not original it's a resprayed red one and could do with repainting * Two small rust spots - rear boot lid and on one side, I'l photograph them. * The electric spoiler works via the dashboard control, but doesn't raise / lower automatically at speed. * The sunroof doesn't work, I leave it shut. * The central locking doesn't work - my garage told me it needs a new vacuum pump, but it once locked me out with my keys inside so I decided to do without central locking it after that. * Radio reception is very poor * The heater controls are stuck on the forward facing setting. * It has an oil leak from somewhere in the engine bay Other details * 4 New Hankook Tyres * Black leather interior. (the heated seats are not connected up) * Short shifter stick * sports exhaust and cone air filter * Weitec Coilovers * Original Red VR6 grill badge! (also have the original grill, not in great condition, but will include it) O * Original (out of date) first aid kit! These are the advisories from the last MOT: * Power steering component has a slight seepage * Brake pipes slightly corroded * Brake hoses slightly corroded * Inner brake disk worn, pitted or scored but not seriously weakend * Nearside road wheel with a slightly distorted bead rim * Oil leak. Work done since I've owned it: Rear brakes and pads replaced Coolant temperature sensor replaced Rear brake caliper replaced Handbrake cable replaced. Gear shift mechanism replaced. Drivers door handle replaced. Nearside rear lower gearbox engine mount replaced Inner CV joint replaced Anti rollbar link ball joints replaced. Headlight switch loom replaced (Mk2 golf switch now fitted) axle bushes replaced Oil sump replaced. £ 1700 Viewings welcome. Please let me know if any questions!

There ARE a few around. I'm over Southampton way, There is a sticky with locations in general chat. I'd join a meet if I could make it.

Momo Corse alloy wheels 17inch Hi, If anyone is interested, I have a set of 4 17inch Momo alloys from my VR6. They need a refurb, the finish is tarnished in places and there is some curbing. There are four tyres but they need replacing. I really like the wheels but I think 17" looks too big on the Corrado and the ride is hard. The pictures here are all of the one wheel that I took out and cleaned, because they're in storage at the moment I'll get the others out over the next few weeks and snap them all.

Why has this been moved? Since when was corrado spotting "off topic" !?

We have a chromecast. It would be awesome if it worked reliably, but about half the time it takes about five minutes (while the kids go bezerk) of dicking about resetting apps and disconnecting networks to get anything to play.

Hi, yes defiantly interest to just buy (i'll stick this one on ebay) pm me details. Cheers!

I'm looking for an unmolested parcel shelf as space is more useful than loud tunes these days. I have this one with Pioneer 6x9 speakers to swap in case anyone is thinking about going the other way. [ATTACH]81326[/ATTACH]

Sorry I have one I owe you. Can you PM me your address, I think I've lost it.. cheers,

This mod is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

Wrong.

Thanks for the replies. I did try tapping the starter with a breaker bar last time it happened. It didn't have any effect, but this might have been not me not tapping hard enough or in the wrong place. Although I think the starter is more likely, I think I will try a new ignition switch first, since this is quite inexpensive and easy to fit. I'll update when I've tried it. cheers,

Hi, no I can't hear it trying to turn when it doesn't work and it's never sluggish when it does, It's an all or nothing thing.

VR6 btw.

I've searched and found a few threads about hot starting problems, but they all involve the engine turning but not firing. I have an issue where, when hot, the starter will not turn over. The car has no problems starting if rolling, but it just won't turn over until it's cooled for 20 minutes. I stalled it in traffic last week. :bonk: Luckly someone took pity and gave me a push. I'm thinking it should be ignition switch or starter motor related, but generally I don't have any issues at all starting from cold. Has anyone got any experience of this issue or any pointers before I start replacing bits? thanks! Paul

Cool, thanks!

I like it.:thumbleft:

I have this rogue broken wire in my engine bay and a connector with nothing connected. I guess it's an air flow sensor, haven't noticed any problems from not having it connected, and where the wire from the loom has gone it seems difficult to reconnect. Also should there be a second wire to the other terminal?!

I'm finding it very slow, and lots of error 504 messages.

Has anyone noticed if / how its affecting LPG prices? I always forget to look when I fill up.

Thanks for the replies! The Scuttle panel over the foliage cover was out of place so *seems* like an easy fix.. I have replaced it after a clean up. It's amazing how much crap was around the rubber seals. Now to dry it off and see..

I've got a very wet rear passenger side carpet, but only in the footwell itself. The carpet around the door and seat is dry, as is the front. I can't see how it is getting down there, when everything above is dry... has anyone got any ideas? It is usually parked facing uphill.

I have 2 of the Britax Evolva 1-2-3 seats, one for a 22 month old and one for a 4 year old. They fit really well into the Corrado rear seats.

I haven't been to one of these for a few years but used to enjoy them. I might be able to make it along.
