yes i mean left as u look over the bonnet!! ( drivers side) the aux water pump is on the other side by the coilpack? i changed that a while ago.......it sounds like its coming from the block to on the left of the engine cover or below it where the alternator belt is ........ its loud, louder then the tappets

hello peeps having big problems today first up i cracked my windscreen!!!!!!! god dam it!! then yesterday when the car was cold i started it and made a squiking noise from the left side of the engine then as it warmed it went... however today its abit loader and its not going aways sounds like maybe a rubbing metal noise maybe a bearing noise.... something is making me think its the water pump?? can the pump make a noise like that its its dead? is the chain on the left?? same side as the belts?

hello guys just wondered has anyone got any pics of the rieger gto or gtx front bumper?? the bumper that u only seem to see on that yellow corrado? the one with slightly bigger sqaure rents??? ive only seen it on the yellow corrado n just want to see it on a darker corrado!!!? aint anyone bought it? dont no1 like it?

ok where is the best place to buy a used 1?? and or a new one at a good price?? PS my god that engine bay looks good!!!!!!!!!!

well i aint as confused nomore stilll not to sorry if im going to get one?

the price im guessing is not fitted... im not sure if i need one but know im thinking about gettin 1!!!!! whoever would really consider getting one put your name down lets see what we can do?? MAYBE THE'LL DO BETTER DEAL IN GROUPS!!! DONT hold me to it coz its alot of money but lets see!!

ok guys i might ave been wrong at the time the price i was given was for the block with pistons and was brand new out the factory!! but that aint about nomore... but you can still get a rebuilt engine with new pistons and all (not the head ) for 1400+vat this is not an exchange and im told all the new parts are same as factory....... with the head 1750 + vat but they tell me its a propa job and every bit is checked and put as new!!

ok well i got the price over the phone from a big vw parts place, i got the number from a mag pvw but at this moment im not at home so aint got it here!!!!! i did ask twice when i heard the price and YES it was for the 2.9 the 2.8 was less!!!!

just another stupid question? if you went and got a recon 2.9 on your corrado how would you know that the engine is really a 2.9 and not the 2.8?..... ive seen that you can get new factory built 2.9 vr6 for £1400 plus vat!! without the head.... does that sound good or nothing special?

yep your right it is pub talk but here's the reason years back i always wanted a corrado and in some mags it said the 1.8 16v was faster to 60 then the g60 ?? and now i have a vr6 im still seeing all the times aint the same!!! i think cars are changing now coz if what i read was right the new astra will ave 250bhp?? i pray it dont !!! lol

thats why i asked they all seem wrong? in top gear mag in the index it said 6. but in the same mag it then says 7 . something? do they run these tests in the fastet way to 60 ie 1st and 2nd at full revs or in 1st 2nd and 3rd? think mune would take aweek if time up to 3rd at lower revs!!!

ok ive always wondered why ever mag has different 0to60 times for corrado's ?? as ive got a vr6 just wondered what its ment to be as new? ive seen some say 6.7 some and some 7.4 ?? what is it ?? the older ones still had cat's so it cant be that? whats faster the coil back type like mine or the distrib one? i tried 3 0-60 the other day using 1st and 2nd and got 7.42 .... 7.42...7.34?? mind you i was worried bout the bald tyre its bad ..

they look kinda nice... but im the kinda person who would do something like modify them n paint bits black just like on my all clear rear lights what are now clear n goldie black gotta admit it does look good!!! so is the glass cover removable??? or is it stuck on?

ok dont know much about superchargers for the vr6 whats a v2 vortech charger like compaired to the v9?? is one more powerful?? do they all fit the same n come from the same company?

hi anybody got any good pics of the new in-pro headlights??? not the pic you see on there web sight?? cant really tell if there any good from that pic..... also anybody who's got them? do ya know if the glass cover is removable like on standard ones?.... i seen a really nice pair on some home made audi a4 lights fitted into a corrado they look the dogs dangdougallieess!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok first ill get to the point!!! got some new clear lights and dont know how to re-wire them they fit?? what does BL 58 BR 31 mean?? on the factory bulb holder ?? cant use the factory 1!!! what wire goes where? whats positive and what neg? ok here's what happend... got all clear lights thought there abit too in ya face so i made em look lovely... fitted them using factory holder not the bulb holder u get with the lights!"!! thought all was well until the next day when the bulb went pop!! chaged the bulb and went to re fit it>> then for some reason it didnt go in????? then i realised you cant use the heat from the bulb made the hole the bulb goes in melt abit n now the hole is smaller then the bulb!!! LOL.... OK NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY THEY GIVE YOU SPECIAL BULB HOLDERS!!!!!

donno what et35 or 40 means lol

ok as i said before after changing the theromsat housing the car has a problem no leaks now but, as i was driving it the dials went crazy and made a ticking clicking noise that sounds electrical...... also would go above 2500 rpm??? started jerking then fine the jerking and so on the next day was fine then later that day went to start it and it turned over the would start due to the crazy dials n noise? also think its another issue but ive always noticed a thin wire (yellow n black) with a thin long yellow connector ... what does it connect to ?? its always been loose.... it comes from a bunch of wires below the manifold area??? some please help before i blow something like the ecu or it catches light!!! :cry: :x :cry: :?:

ok so really i should just stick to 17X 7 or 7.5 n 8 if daring!! ok so if i was to get a set of 17 X 7.5 and they was deep dish would this still be ok on a vr that is standard suspension??

HI IM LOOKING TO GET A SET OF 17'S BUT DONT KNOW HOW WIDE I CAN GO? I WANT DEEP DISH LOOK... SEEN A NICE SET BUT THE FRONT ARE 8INCH WIDE N REAR 9 INCH ???? WILL THIS BE OK WITH FRONT SPACERS? DO I HAVE TO STICK WITH 7 INCH WIDTH? WOULD DEEP DISH OF ANY KIND BE A PROBLEM? COZ THE CENTRE PUSHES THE OUTER RIM OUTWARDS?

ok yesterday i drove it n it was fine? did feel abit hot though.. today after work tried starting it n it turned over but the the dials rev counter went crazy n heard that electrical click tick noise???? done that 3 times then start as it should???????????????? HELP also ive always noticed this wire its yellow n black and has a thin long yellow connector on it?? leads to the bunch of wires near the centre of the engine? whats it for coz its never been conneted to anything? just one ends loose?

hello i just changed the thermostat n housing due to a leak..... took a coulple of day coz need to drill out some rotten bolts..... there is no leak now ive only filled it with water .... the temp is a about 100 mark anyway when i put it above 2000 revs sometimes the rev counter goes crazy up n down and you hear i electrical click, and the car starts to not want to go n jerks alott????? also when i remove the MAF plug when runnin the car stays on ..... before this it would turn off??? what part that ive touched could make this happen??? COILPACK? THE YELLOW BLUE BLACK PLUG ??? I DIDNT MOVE THE MAF THAT DAY?? THE HEAT?? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cheers only reason i was thinking about the blue stuff was for tonight as it might get colder n i leave for work at 6am ............ it dont look pink any more coz ive added water so many times!!! wait til monday n get the good stuff!!!

i think i need to put anti freeze in my vr but today the vw shops are closed so i cant get the pink stuff! would it be ok putting some blue anti freeze for this week?

i mean the water bottle holder where you put the water in with the water cap (lid) where it says max/min water level
