Looking into: 1st: Oil/ filter change 1st (quoted sub £100) 2. Increase height of adjustable coilovers 3. Replace stretched tyres (depend on costs) 4. Either replace Timing Chain guides + tensioners OR The full monty chain/pump/clutch/sparks/etc Thanks to advice from here already, will enquire with: 1. Stealth Racing 2. Awesome GTi

Car stalls once almost every time Just noticed blue-ish smoke ocassional from rear - eeek! Cabin directional ventilation knob (winscreen, face, floor) - not work Sun roof not work No owner handbook Cant even reset speedo (push down)?

Front wheel clearance ok Rear a bit low Engine compartment looks ok Rear lights a bit mouldy etc Bit of rust Tyres hitting rear wheel arches Lifting of windscreen trims (I suspect windscreen replaced at some point)

Hi 1st time Corrado owner bought literally this Tuesday ... Drove away from buyer and car broke down :( Unable to get into gear - RAC arrives. Apparently driving in heavy traffic and holding clutch overheats the system! RAC man suggests: Put in neutral when ever stopped. And look into Clutch Slave Cylinder!

Cheers everyone! Seems a very friendly welcoming forum this :) Did think about joining - VR6OC or CorradoClubUK. But somehow came across this forum on google and decided to sign up. Not sure how long keeping Corrado. Was supposed to be a daily car for a couple of seasons. But starting to enjoy it more and more :) Its quiet in city, and that subtle roar in the high rev s:) :) :) Getting quotes from following on oil/filter change 1st: 1 Chris Umpley £95 (Bradford) 2. Volks Works £90 (Leeds) 3. BM Care (Leeds) - not got back Will certainly enquire with: Stealth Racing Awesome GTi Maybe a 1/2 term trip to Stealth?....will see

Mileage 122k I searched online. Most sites say there is nothing about servicing the chain. Most people just change them at 100+ Some just wait til they hear a noise. I am 2 minds either: 1. Change the whole lot including full service £2k? 2. Or just oil/filter and chain guides/pretensioner £100s?

NO! Me too!

Cheers Jim! :) I terrible at DIY so have to outsource then :( £££ Heard of Stealth - not sure if too far from West Yorks? Have u heard of Awesome GTi in Manchester? I also prefer to do the water pump + clutch at same time (as cheaper labour if done in one go?) RAC man said i holding clutch too much in heavy traffic. Basically once cooled down (when he arrived) there wasnt a problem! He suggest fix the "sticking" Clutch Slave Cylinder? Cheers MZPog :) Am not quite sure about the Stretched Tyres on the alloys AND extra spacers on rear AND being lowered ... Where about are u?

Hi Just bought my 1st ever Corrado, 1st ever VR6, 1st ever Classic VW period. Picked up literally this Tues: Sadly It broke down after driving 20mins away from buyer s house (in peak traffic) :( Lots of newbie questions to ask! Such as replace Timing Chain (now at 122k)? Oil pressure bulb flashes at key position II (but not after starting up). Will start a new thread later ...
