I like the easy ones. If you ever find the brake reservoir Sean, get 2 mate..... mine needs to look nice too

As a Corrado owner I take the rough with the smooth. The bloody lower cowling trim at the steering wheel didnt fit 😡 but swapping my power steering reservoir for a lovely clean version went smoothly. I removed the fluid using a trigger spray from a household bottle and sprayed it into another bottle. Created a mess free swap that did not take long at all. Nice to end on a high

Finally, after many months of having the new replacement lower steering cover I thought I would take 10 minutes to fit it. 9 minutes to find the screws so plenty of time to still screw it together. What the..... I just could not get the ignition side to pull together!! After much swearing over 3 screws I took the top off to put them together and I found the issue 535 953 516c being the old one has the RH screw part set back about 8mm as the top screw part sits past the cover by this amount. Maybe I should have just cut the top part down but didnt like the idea of the screw not having much to go into. But being annoyed I cut the new lower section part down and now have to recreate something that stops the screw from going straight through. Not happy VW.......🤬🤬🤬 I definitely have the wrong part as ends in A .. 😡

Unless you are good with a multimeter in checking for voltage at the switch connecor 1st and linking across to see if that makes something click/work

Definitely worth getting the door card off again. I will have a look and see if I have a spare switch which I could send you to try

Join them then. First just do it using screw connector blocks to see if all is okay before doing a proper solder and heat shrink permanant fix 👍

I thought red yellow was a switched live off the top of my head. I wouldn't merge the 2 sides together unless they were of the same size and colourings, that would be asking for trouble. Have you found the main alarm and work back from that Do you have a Bentley manual with the wiring diagrams In?

All lovely, I'm not too jealous. Be nice to put it on a track or a rolling road. But you have got to change the oil sump and bolts for shiny ones too 😊

Something needs to change. If we standstill we die and unfortunately this forum is not getting any busier. Where as CCGB seem to be busy yet we thought they were on their arse a couple of years ago. I am not of an age to put my life into Facebook but I am aware previous members have departed to the ccgb This site has such a wealth of knowledge and that needs to be kept no matter what for me. So I am grateful for Toby in keeping this site going, as he isn't making money from us. We have positives and negatives from keyos suggestion. The Positive :- we get access to the parts and there are rules in place. Also I'm not a moderator so don't have to deal with picking dummies up if things aren't happy 😁 The Negative:- some sellers may take the piss, so we have a choice not to buy from them. Maybe this is all irrelevant as it is Toby's site. Whilst I still have my Corrado, like others, i would very much like this site to flourish and prosper. We all want the same

Sounds good to me. As stated, a little common sense and discretion needed. We need more traffic here and that is a good start. Gets my thumbs up (which counts for nothing actually) 🤣🤣

I'm no magpie, but they do look nice and shiny 👍fantastic results

Ooo that is a good looking underside 🤩 Atleast you know it is in a great condition, well done 👍

Definitely check the cold start valve. I have an 8 valve that wouldn't start and this was my issue.

Can anyone recommend a spray for brake discs as a protection whilst they aren't being used

No worries. A Corrado is for life, not just for Xmas 😊😂😂

I'm sure they will. If not, shout up and I will sort it for you 👍

How about this bargain !!! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1995-Volkswagen-Corrado-2-9-VR6-3dr-Storm-Coupe-Petrol-Manual-/124822669750?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m2548.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 If it sells for that price I may even be tempted to sell mine 🤣

Not for me mate, but a very kind gesture 👍

Nope. Hopefully someone gets a better deal on it

Check that the fan blades aren't catching the frame as that can sound horrendous when running

Any joy sorting this?

As for the alarm, trace each wire and remove it. Join back any that have been interrupted by the Gemini system. Then see what you are working with

Veedubbed, where have you been? I hope you can help with his dilemma too

Maybe it is your car shouting DON'T SELL ME... Glws anyway. I'm no Admin so have no idea about rules. I just didnt want the post to pass unnoticed

If the car runs when the relay is bridged, you defined to look at what switches the relay. And if you say there is a dodgy alarm/ immobiliser wiring then this is where I would be looking, and remove it. Make it all stock original and then you know what you are working with. Good luck 🤞
