OMG Don't use a disc cleaner!!!! this is the worst thing you could do!! They are a CD with a brush on them that runs over the laser. Bad idea, if it intermittantly works now you may find that when you have used the CD cleaner that it doesn't work at all because the brush may scratch the lens. Try the other above suggestions but not the cleaner, if the others don't work I'll be happy to tell you the best way to clean the lens but will require it to be taken apart.

Oh my god, somebody asks a polite cival question on wether they use there fog lights, to which I answer honestly and get called a w*nker!!! Who the f*ck are you to respond with a coment like that, Did your parents never teach you basic politeness or do you speak to everyone like that? Or is it just that you are behind a PC in your very angry world and this is only way you get to be 'King of the Hill'. Just because I choose to do something differently than you, you've decided that this person is now classed as a w*nker, unable to politely disagree and give the reasons why. Lloydieboy79 - I'm glad you asked the question as this is a harsh reminder on just how shallow people can be. ']['H3R4POR - I think you are a w*nker for supporting Liverpool..... see..... how sad is that!! Get a life

tbh I always use em wind rain or shine. I think they look good and makes you more noticeable... not boy racer style, just so they know you are there as there are so many idiots about. The same reason I always have my lights on when riding a motorbike, so people see me.

OMG!! I finally got the exhaust fitted after 6 exhaust centres said won't fit it and one of them said yes but would take 2 days and £100+ It looks, fits and sounds great! Anybody needing a new exhaust I would highly reccomend a Milltek, expensive but worth the money. Uber happy now :mrgreen:
-
Thanks for all the input people, I went with Milltek and ordered it from 16vG60 £400 +shipping it maybe a bit overpriced but is garunteed to arrive today. Don't mind paying a bit extra as the stag doo is more important and need to make sure my car will be roadworthy. Thanks again, off to go shoot paint and off road karting Woo Hoo :-P
-
Thanks guys, I will let you know how I get on

I have given my chassis number to http://www.racecar.co.uk/quicksilver/ London stainless stell exhaust centre and they have confirmed that it is the early version but the price is £396 inc VAT does seem right to anyone or is this overpriced as Awesome GTI offer Milltek for 'Corrado G60' for £256 Getting very confused now :( I'm trying to order this today as I got a stag doo to go to at the weekend and I'm designated driver. Any help muchos appreciated :)

I just checked, I have the hook hangers holding up the centre box of the exhaust but the centre box has bar hangers. My bonnet is the raised one but I think was changed at some point due to front end prangv and the Petrol tank I am unsure.
-
Mine is a K reg, the only thing I think mine is right on the change over point. Would the chassis number help?

Hi there, My C needs a new exhaust system and I have been recommended the Milltek range. The only thing is I have been caught out by purchasing a rear box in the past by going on the info on the relevant website and looking fo 'Corrado G60' but I then got the wrong box for my car. Is there anyway of making sure I order the right one for my car? Any help much appreciated, I realy don't want to order and find it doesn't fit.
-
Thanks all it gives me a starting point. The audioscape door panels look realy nice but may have to wait till I have the funds to get them with speakers and amp. Will let you know how i get on.
-
Hmmm, maybe I asked the wrong question :( To all you people who get into there cars and at a touch of a button have there own orchestra riding with them. I would realy like to have a sweet sounding stereo but I get confused on all the choices, as above you see what I've got but would like to know what to do next. Replace the front speakers.. with what? Do I amp them or leave running from the head set. I've seen a set of component 160W speakers with a 200W amp but this seems odd to me, how can you pump 200W into 160W speakers?? does this not blow them you see my predicament. Suggestions on what or where I go from here.

Hi all, what would you suggest? I have installed: Headunit - basic Kenwood CD player (Lost the face of my Kenwood KDC-M7024) :cry: Dash - not used Door - origional (need replacing) Tweeters - JBL (possibly blown) Crossovers - JBL Rear seat side panels - JBL 6x9 (previous owner) boot - Vibe AC10 bass box 600 watt 10" (brought from previous car) Head unit rear runs 6x9, front runs door speaker/tweeter and sub out to the Vibe. The front sounds terrible so I keep it low, 6x9 are good but drown out the box in the boot. Keep it simple I'm no Guru :) but would appreciate some suggestions.

Thanx for all you comments pple, much appreciated :) As I put in my origional post the story didn't end there.... that's only 1/2 of it :( I chose NOT to do it the 'official' way but I can not explain too much or I might implicate myself :twisted: You ain't seen me....... reet :evil:

It would be unwise for him to even try to sue me...... as my car would not be the only thing getting torched. Sounds harsh.... but I AM THAT P***** OFF!!! *Roadhog counts to ten and breathes* Where could I get the so said manual?

http://www.usedvwcars.com/ This is the garage :mad: And I would Love to use my own garage but... I don't have one and I wouldn't know where to start if I did. As I am no mechanic :(

I bought my G60 about a year ago and she looks FINE :) When I got her she needed a bit of work but was happy, she drove well and Uber quick... I then made a terrible mistake and since then it is now at the point where I hate my car and just want to sell it and move on and put it down as a bad experience. I took my car to a 'VW and Audi specialist' in North London, which I spotted in the Corrado club website. I was impressed by the owner Dwain who I felt could be trusted with my new puppy. How wrong I was :mad: I asked him to service the car and also check the car out and let me know of any impending problems that he notices. He checked it out and with the service and a few other things was quoted roughly £400 for the lot and after that would get NO problems, cool I thought so off I went. When my car was ready for collection I was very pleased paid and left.... I got 50 yards and had to go back as they had somehow disconnected my charger :shock: 1/2 an hour later off I went charger reconnected. I had to go back the following weekend to have the new radiator fitted that he had ordered me, again I went to collect paid the remaining money and left.... I got 100 yards down the road to then find steam pouring out of my engine :shock: I got towed back to garage to find they had not connected the radiator. I left thinking that was the end of it..... Oh no! A few days later I was checking my bank account and was concerned to find payments going to a company I had never heard of let alone bought from :shock: I checked the ammounts, I checked out the major autopart company but I had not spent a penny with this company. Increasingly concerned I made many frantic phone calls trying to find out why in excess of £200 was coming out of my account for things I had never bought.... Only to eventually discover that Dwain from the 'specialist VW and Audi' garage was paying for things with MY credit card numbers!! :mad: This not be the end of the story it got alot worse :( but needless to say I am now left with a car that I feel is about to die on me but with no idea what is wrong with it apart from the awful noises it now makes. (me NO mechanic) So.... can anyone please recommend a garage that they trust 100% and who are fair and reasonably priced and who don't just RIP YOU THE FUCK OFF!!!!! This is my last ditched attempt at fixing my car before I torch it Please help, I live in North West London and would rather stay pretty local but will travel if needs be. I tried to find a piccy of my G60 but failed, I have posted a pic on the website but was along time ago.

:cry: Please can anyone jot down the V-belt route. Don't wanna get it the wrong way. Gonna try on Saturday.
-
Hi all, please help. My belt which runs around the charger, water pump, alternator and maybe even other stuff has disintergrated :cry: Being skint I gotta try to replace myself and being of little knowledge of engines this should be fun :shock: I need to know which way the belt goes around all of the cogs as I know this can be very confusing. If any one can supply me with a picture and any useful tips I should know will be very grateful.
