    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.
  8. MikeyGordon
    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?
  11. MikeyGordon
    9a engine is same height as a KR so I imagine it would.
  12. MikeyGordon
    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.
  14. MikeyGordon
    First time I have seen this thing somehow and it looks like an excellent car and very well put together.
  15. MikeyGordon
    Alright man. Any luck with the pas reservoir bracket? Cheers.
  16. MikeyGordon
    Any update on these? Mine fell off today at an unknown location on a 40 mile run :( so I need a replacement asap! Thanks. :)
  17. MikeyGordon
    No wasn't mine mate, not far from me, I probably would have grabbed it if I had seen it earlier lol.
  18. MikeyGordon
    Sold already!
  19. MikeyGordon
    I have read the Corrado and mk2 exhaust differ slightly over the axle and the rear box. Never seen it myself, but I was thinking about this to have an exhaust made for the Rado (on the road) to fit to the Golf (restoring) and seen a few threads stating the differences.
  20. MikeyGordon
    No problem man, let me know. Aye I should have explained that a bit more lol. As above, the grab handle above the passenger door. With the screws as well if you have. Cheers.
  21. MikeyGordon
    Not a Corrado part but I can't find a pic of one like it anywhere. Oettinger steering wheel
  22. MikeyGordon
    That car is beautiful. Recaros are awesome.
  23. MikeyGordon
    Any news on that bracket pal? Thanks. Also looking for a passenger side "Jesus handle"

    Engine mount

    MikeyGordon posted a topic in Engine Bay

    Hello folks. The Corrado is still having some noticeable engine movement during gear changes etc, but not as much now that I have replaced the front and gearbox mounts. Front hydro mount was knackered with fluid pouring out and the gearbox seemed a bit worse for wear. Bothe were original VW parts so probably been there since it rolled off the production line. Is the standard G60 rear mount hydro or solid rubber?

    Ah it's Allen keys. Try hammering a torx into it? I had an absolute nightmare of a rounded Allen key to get out before, tried bonding a torx in with chemical metal and it never worked so I had to weld one in. The bolt grips should still work on them as long as the socket fits.
