  1. Thanks for having a look So the material looks slightly darker but I guess that is probably the light in the room. The lines in the material look the same. Is that a right hand side one? I don't suppose by any chance you have the foam too do you??? The bit that's snapped off the boot lock is this bit. [ATTACH]88184[/ATTACH] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  3. So I've tried a few times with no success but does anyone have a drivers or passengers side right hand bolster in grey cloth for a 1995 VR6 in good condition? Also my boot lock central locking mechanism has broken so it now only works on the key. I think the little arm has snapped.

  4. I need a set of these as mine have had it. Are these the ones on eBay you were talking about? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VR6-Golf-Corrado-Polished-Stainless-Tank-Straps-70litre-/232440226530?fits=Model%3ACorrado&hash=item361e8462e2:g:l20AAOxyLN9SlwBO
  5. Okay so I need to order a new PCV valve which I will do on Monday but from what I can tell, it won't come with this plastic pipe which has cracked. Is there a better option than this? If not, does anyone have one for sale or know where I can get it. [ATTACH]88118[/ATTACH] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Hi Foxx, I'm not really keen on posting outside of the UK sorry. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. That's great to know, I'll just get a piece of pipe to go direct from the PCV to the inlet elbow then. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Hi Everyone, So I noticed smoke billowing from my bonnet on the first runs the car has done after being stood for the best part of a year. Oil was leaking on to the exhaust heat shield from various points, the inlet elbow at the small pipe that connect to the grey sensor, the grey sensor itself on both sides, and the pipe coming off the back on the PCV valve. 1) After removing the inlet elbow I noticed lots of small cracks on the ridged flexible part so I probably need a new elbow. I've seen aluminium ones for sale, are these worth it? 2) I assume the rubber has perished on the little grey sensor, do I just replace the rubber or do I need a whole new sensor? 3) I didn't appear to be having any issues with the PCV valve itself but the rubber was so brittle it tore apart. I remember ages ago reading something about a Ford Galaxy replacement instead but can't find the thread for the life of me. Does anyone know if my memory right or not? A part number would be great.

  9. Hi Guys, Sorry for not getting back sooner, I've been super busy with moving house and a friend's wedding. The Airbox is still available and Simeon has first dibs if he still wants it. Cheers
  10. Its not been drilled for sure and pretty sure it's in good condition and undamaged. I'll try to attach photos of it here. If that doesnt work PM your email and I'll send some over: [ATTACH]87974[/ATTACH][ATTACH]87977[/ATTACH][ATTACH]87980[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]87971[/ATTACH] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Ahh I see, I've never delved that deep into braking systems before. Noes the time to learn I guess. The ABS light on the dash has been disabled and wired to the battery light by the looks of it. At a loss what to investigate next really and am not inclined to take to a garage to "investigate" every possible cause of the problem whilst it shows no symptoms. I've done that in the past and ended up with huge bills and the same problems occur later on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. I have exactly the same thing by the sound of it. It would be interesting to know what someone else thinks of it. A more mechanically minded friend of mine than myself said it could have been down to the way I installed my coilovers and also pointed out that my rear axle bushes were completely dead and could squeak.

  13. Right, so I've cleared the fault codes and taken the car for a spin and the brakes didn't lock on once. I rescanned when I got back and it showed up with a front left ABS wheel speed sensor needs replacing. I checked the scuttle drains and both were completely blocked so I cleared them out completely. If it was the servo, now it has dried out and won't get wet again have fixed the problem? Is there a way of checking it? I've checked the ABS fuses and relays and the ECU, whilst some had minor corrosion most were good and the corrosion really was minimal. I will check the pedal position sensor tomorrow. I imagine the problem will probably come back knowing my Corrado. It loves to throw some "interesting" challenges my way just as I need it to be reliable. The problem was terrifying when you wanted to brake lightly and ended up doing an emergency stop on a motorway...... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Have a spare air box lying around. Can do it for £60 posted if anyone wants it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. I can only recommend one not to use and that is Sweet Alloys. Worst job I've ever seen on a set of wheels. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Hi Everyone, Got bit of a problem and need some help. Around December last year my brakes started playing up. They basically lock on randomly and then stay on. If I turn off the car and on again, they magically go back to normal until I touch the brake pedal and then stay on again. I suspected the ABS pump may be dead and it being the middle of winter, I took it off the road until I could be bothered to do something about it i.e. now. I've just done a fault code scan and it came up with the following: Address 03: ABS Brakes Labels: 1H0-907-379.lbl Part No: 1H0 907 379 E Component: ABS/EDS TEVES 04 VCID: 316D78FBFB8463CA76-4A9C 10 Faults Found: 00274 - ABS Inlet Valve; Rear Left (N134) 35-00 - - 00273 - ABS Inlet Valve; Rear Right (N133) 35-00 - - 00279 - Differential Lock Valve 1 (N125) 35-00 - - 00532 - Supply Voltage B+ 35-00 - - 00283 - ABS Wheel Speed Sensor; Front Left (G47) 35-00 - - 00285 - ABS Wheel Speed Sensor; Front Right (G45) 35-00 - - 00285 - ABS Wheel Speed Sensor; Front Right (G45) 16-00 - Signal Outside Specifications 00285 - ABS Wheel Speed Sensor; Front Right (G45) 04-00 - Mechanical Malfunction 00290 - ABS Wheel Speed Sensor; Rear Left (G46) 04-00 - Mechanical Malfunction 01276 - ABS Hydraulic Pump (V64) 16-00 - Signal Outside Specifications So what I'm reading here is that the ABS pump and every wheel speed sensor has had it and all need replacing. Is the differential lock valve and supply voltage b+ to do with the ABS pump? I've heard of a company called BBA Reman for refurbishing my pump although have read mixed reviews. Could anyone give me a bit of a guide on how to remove the pump? Do I need to drain all the brake fluid first? I've also read a little about upgrading to a Teves 20 system from a later golf. Should I be more looking to do that instead? I really just want to get the old girl up and running again for the minimum amount of money and faff.
  17. I'm planning on doing this job next week. Does anyone have any tips on removing the old bushes? I've heard people say to burn them out in the past but is there another way that could make a mess of my patio? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Sat on a coach at Kingston Robin Hood roundabout playing catch up with a silver Corrado of some flavour. It has clear crystal rear lights. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  21. The process that they were originally done with is called metallisation. I did contact a couple of companies about doing it but they were either astronomically expensive or wouldn't do it for small batches. In the end I did it myself with a vinyl chrome wrap. It isn't perfect but is a tonne better than it was. Here's a link to the thread. http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?95548-Rear-VW-badge-refurb Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. Series 1 Episode 4 of Bad Education has a Corrado right at the beginning. Actually got a little too excited. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. Haha amazing, I bet that's a thirsty beast. I guess the value of Corrados must have gone up loads since I bought mine then even with damage, awesome! Or are storms commanding much higher prices than VR6s? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. I was stopped at the traffic lights in rush hour in my VR so had a good look at it. Wasn't a fan of the wheels on it, looked very boy racer but the rest looked pretty tidy. I didn't see the scratches or dents from the road but £7k seems a lot for big crease and dents though no? Did it have super low miles? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
