To be honest i was realistically thinking around the 5k mark, maybe a tad higher on a good day with a strong wind etc. Although prices have dropped, if your looking to buy a Corrado then its for a reason, and that is most likely going to be because your after a legendry car. Im guessin that as such buyers are informed and therefore will appreciate a decent example, and as such recognise their value as being slightly higher - not due to residual values or such like, but simply due to availability and the desire to own a gem.... just look at mk2 escorts... End of the day they are worth what someone is willing to pay i guess - but all this talk of tidy VR6s not being worth more than ragged old dogs seems like a load of rubbish, sure it may take some time to find a buyer, but dont accept stupid offers from idiots chancing their hands, they most likely know the value and are amoungst those convincing the world that Corrados are worth sod alll.. Just my 2p.

Hi Chaps, Wondering if you guys could give your opinions on the following, cant think of a better place to find an the general consensus, so here goes - cheers! Dragon Green '94 VR6, 75K. Excellent condition (mint interior, i mean really mint. Few stone chips on the outside, front end etc...)Tracker, Cat 1 Clifford. Koni Shocks, H&R Springs, excellent condition standard speedlines, spankers T1-Rs all round... Full VAG main dealer service Unmolested. What kind of money do you think its worth paying for such a vehicle, obviously its worth more (or less) depending how much you want one etc etc etc... but a realistic ball park figure would be a great guide... Thanks in advance!

Just thought id report that i had my screen replaced at this place. Actual fitting of the screen was fine, guy did a good job. Also got scuttles replaced as part of the job. All I can say to anyone (as usual) is check the car over inch by inch BEFORE you sign the paperwork, if they can get away with damage they will...

Cheers VR6 South, ill be giving them a call later to discuss my needs then! Does anyone know how the three piece scuttle trim comes off the corrado (i.e. the bit the wiper splines poke through)? I see its clipped onto the metal below it at the bottom, but the top of the trim seems to be bonded to the lower part of the windscreen, is this the case? Just wondering if this is part and parcel of the 'trim' that i could get replaced as part of the windscreen fitting? Many thanks again, this is helping to clear things up no end!

Cheers for the info VR6 South, Is this the place, tis the only branch i can find in pompey: RAC Auto windscreens Unit 7 Mountbatten Bus Prk Jackson Close PO6 1UR Also, did you have any probs, or did they literally do a good job all round? Cheers again!

Thanks for the info guys, much appreciated. VR6 South, Dont suppose you know which branch of RAC did your screen do you, or the fitter, would be good to get some guys who have done one before round... any info would be cool! Cheers fellas!

Cheers, Anyone else have any info please?

Unfortunately have a large crack in my windscreen that now requires replacement... Ill be having it done on the insurance, and have done the searches etc on this forum, and read several posts. Please can someone who knows advise as to what parts i should look to get replaced whilst the screen is changed. I gather it would be best to get a new seal put in, how about the side plastics and top plastic on the outside of the screen? Anything else i should be asking for when i make the call? Also can anyone tell me how the top trim is removed from inside the car, the one that runs along the top of the windscreen, as i think it would be better if i remove all the bits i can prior to the fitter coming! Im in the Southampton area, So if anyone knows of an Auto glass branch which has done a good job on Corrados in the past i would appreciate the mention! Thanks for any help, im trying my best to avoid another disaster on a Corrado windscreen! Cheers!

Hi Guys, Have to do a repot for UNI on ABS systems, was wondering if anyone has any technical information on the Corrado system. Im sure someone has a book/manual somewhere with a few specs etc in it, anything would be useful in the way of parameters, processors used etc etc... not that interesting but unfortunately neccessary!! Thanks for any help.. Steve.

The fitter never even connected the movement sensors etc in this case, which makes you wonder what they did when i came to the wiring!! Not so much an excuse as a fact im afraid, when fitted properly Cliffords are great, problems occur of course which will be down to software, faulty manufactuer etc, but no more than any other bit of retrofit electronics in a moving vehicle...

Which makes you wonder what kind of job they did with the more important aspects such as wiring... Yet again shite fitting being blamed on the alarm.

Oh, and im pretty sure that plug is meant to be loose... There have been several like that on all VWs ive worked on.

Hi, Could be many things to be honest, from dry joints to loose plugs. I have had the not locking thing with mine, which occured after a period of not being used, it sorted itself out after being driven again, is your car regularly used? The remote start again could be a number of things, most likely the rpm sensor, does it have an external module fitted (black box that will be attached to the main power cable by the battery) if so these can pack up menaing it wont start - not a major problem to sort out. The going off for no real reason i would most likely think is due to the heat, and the movement sensor being a tad to high on sensitivity. The 'bubble' expands with heat, meaning instead of staying in the car and looking for movement there, it can expand outwards, and thus pick up movement outside - hence the flase alarms. The way to check what set it off is to do the following: -Unlock car and get in -Hold down the blank button (the one without the nobble on it!) on the valet switch and lock the car via key fob -keeping the blank button held down, unlock car after a few moments -let go of blank button Now watch the LED. It will flash a number of times, and then pause, then flash a numer of times etc Each group of flashes tells you which sensor was activated when the alarm went off, in order from the last time it went off. If it flashes one time, then pauses, then one time etc then you know it was the internal sensor as i said, if not, you will be able to tell which sensor it was from the list below: 1 Proximity Sensor 2 Vibration/impact or tilt/motion sensor (if you have one fitted, there not standard) 4 Door open/ajar 5 Boot/bonnet open/ajar (boot only if you have the IntelliStart 4) 6 Bonnet open/ajar (only if you have the IntelliStart 4) 7 Ignition switch was turned on whilst the system was armed 8 Three or more incorrect valet codes were entered 10 flashes Power tampering or the vehicle battery is very low Hopefully that will sort one of the problems, let me know if you need to know how to adjust the sensor. Also, what happens when you go to remote start it, does it just flash the indicatiors once and then do nothing? Any other help let me know...

Dont know what the colour code is, but you will be able to find it coming from the drivers door loom. Take a look, it will be attached to the door handle ultimatly as the holding of the key in the lock activates the sunroof closure manually... Turn the key in the lock and stick a meter or test light on the wires which come off it, im sure youll figure it out in less that a minute... or someone who knows the colour code could save a bit of playing around....

Yea you can do it yourself, To be honests as long as you ensure they go in the correct way round, and you seat them and drive them in square (as in not at an angle) then they dont take long at all. Make sure you dont overpack them with grease, thats the only other thing to note. Just takes a bit of care and common sence, not worth paying someone to do in my opinion, should have them both done easily within a half hour.
