MikeyGordon started following Engine mount, New guy, considering buying a Corrado, Wet passenger footwell... and and 7 others
-
I recently sold a Corrado and currently own a mk2, both 1.8 20vt's though. Corrado has a more sporty feel, lower to the ground, slightly newer feel about it as well. Handling wise, not much different as they are remarkably similar. Although I would love a G60'd motor, I think when I buy another Rado I will be swayed towards a VR6. Have you driven a car with either of these engines? Edit: Working on older VW's is a breeze!

Check if it's using coolant, check under scuttle tray for leafs etc blocking the drains at each end leading to wheel well, check door membranes are intact. I've not done a Corrado heater matrix, but can't see it being much different to a mk2 golf really. If it is then dash shouldn't need to come out.

Parts received pal. Thanks. -
I would prefer to keep it bog standard to be honest. I've been looking for a cheap 16v mk2 golf to keep standard but they are creeping up in price a bit and I can see the Corrado doing the same hopefully. It would be a shame to rip apart a low mileage clean example so I will have a good look around it and decide from there. Thanks for your input man.

As some of you may know, I sold my Corrado 20vt a few months back, and I am getting serious urges for one again. One has popped up near me for a not bad price. It's an early 1.8 16v in red with black cloth interior. Low mileage, circa 68k, 3 owners, it's been off the road for a year and a half so would need a wee bit of recommissioning. Would this model be worth keeping standard if I was to purchase? Or 20vt it.

Intercooler, DownPipe, wiring loom, G60 flywheel, VR6 clutch. Not hard in a Rado, all your engine mounts will bolt straight onto the 1.8t, use your own gearbox. Get the wiring loom and ECU with the engine if possible.

I am rerouting my hoses so they are hardly visible so they won't be needed pal. PM me with your PayPal or however you would like paid. -

I'll take the pas bottle as well as the bracket if that's okay pal. Pm me your PayPal for payment whenever suits. -

Just realised the vr6 bell housing is different for the vr6 than G60/16v etc, I need a box from a 4 pot sorry pal. I'll take the bracket though for sure, it is for the cylinder type bottle that bolts to the inner wing and not the rectangle chassis leg type? -

PAS reservoir bracket posted? Also how much are you looking for the gearbox and would you post that? -
Will a golf mk2 16v exhaust manifold and downpipe fit a Corrado 16v ?

9a engine is same height as a KR so I imagine it would. -
Aye any 4 cylinder Rado mounts or a certain version of Passat 4 cylinder mounts is what you're after I think. Mk3 front bracket is different to Rado.
-
I've got one pal. I'll try get a for sale ad up on here soon. There's an ad on gumtree just now. Search in Aberdeenshire.

First time I have seen this thing somehow and it looks like an excellent car and very well put together.
