How about this old fruity?

Hi Asim, saw your car yesterday in Guildford, very nice, even better in the flesh. Was just wondering what you did with the washer jet on the back as have the rear wiper taken off? thinking of doing the same- thought i could put the hose under the rear bumper facing up to get lorry drivers and tailgaters without getting my car dirty... ( its Neil with Ben Taylors old car) found a link on refurbing the wheels also:- http://www.gtiworld.fsnet.co.uk/BBS.htm - any good?

I will post them up when i get home, the spark plugs are the standard ones VW, audi, seat etc use. The HT leads are the Red beru ones, I originally called up Beru who said they only sell the black ones now but are just a difference in the colour of the rubber? They were offering them for £60, couldn't wait two weeks though so went to Colbournes who said they have only sold the red Beru leads

okay guys, finally fixed the problem... I purchased new red beru leads from Colbournes VW in Guildford (£120) and new spark plugs (didn't really need to) took the coil pack off, cleaned it up and sealed with silicon sealer but there were no cracks. The car is now running beautifully!!! :D

oh sorry, got it 2 weeks ago

100% sure its the Red Beru one, has the cylinder number written on, cost £16.20 (bloody hell, rubber and a bit of metal) also receipt said it was beru cylinder 5, can't remember if it said so on the cable i'm afraid but can check, they can order the full set in but only had 4 of them when i was there. (sunroof motor was a comedy £218 so went elsewhere) good old vw prices

Excellent thanks very much, as I mentioned earlier i have one red one... cylinder 5 was about £16. I purchased it from Volkswagen in Guildford, quite expensive for the full set, which they didn't have so just opted for the faulty one. Do you know anywhere else that might sell the red Beru ones?

sorry for late response, work... which HT leads do you guys recommend?

yeah thats true with vw, needed a new sunroof motor but wasn't sure and VW said they wouldn't take it back so got one cheap on E-bay, still waiting though.... G&S price seems reasonable, will get a full set of HT leads (£ 50 from Europarts) also as have 5 black ones and a red one... new plugs cost nothing so might as well try the whole lot. The problem with the judering/misfiring isn't all the time? will try the spray idea, then the epoxy resin for any cracks, then i'm buying the lot!

Hi, thats a good idea actually, could try and borrow one off a mate or get a VW one and take it back if doesn't fix it, I've read some reviews about how rubbish the Beru ones are on the PocketRocket site and others

okay thanks for the help, will try that idea, if so will have to either fix or buy a new coil pack- where is best to purchase one from? best quality part and best price?

thanks Ben..., coil pack hey? they are about £200 odd from the dealer- wouldn't have thought it would go at this mileage and cheaper solutions to try first? I have seen links on fixing up the coil packs (drying them out and using epoxy resin) the car is worse when raining?

Hi I've recently purchased a 94 Corrado VR6, black with black leather and only 60k miles. It seems to be misfiring/judering between 1000-2000 rpm when excelerating (hard exceleration or normal) and is fine through the rest of the rev range? It has had the 60k service so don't imagine its the plugs or wires (although replaced number 5 ht lead as was told to when bought it) The revs don't fly up so it's not the clutch, the idle is usually okay but sometimes a bit rough. Otherwise this car is beautiful! I have FK coilovers and 17" BBS RS's split Rims which will be on soon! Any help with the above would be fantastic.
