It's a 2.0 16v. I'm also worried about the water pump. Could be an expensive month with Christmas around the corner

Got to about 130 before I stopped. How easy is it to change the belt?

Evening chaps. I'm in need of some help.... who isn't aha! So I started the car this evening, and when I revved to pull away it squealed horrendously! It stopped, but the battery light came on. So instantly I guessed the alternator belt. The engine was getting hot, so I had to keep stopping to let it cool down. However, one thing I can't get my head around, the engine kept revving when idling from about 1500 to 2000 constantly! Is this normal given the scenario? I found the belt snapped in the engine bay unfortunately, so I'm hoping nothing has seized! An explanation, or just some comforting words would help at this difficult time. Cheers in advance chaps, Will

Yeah I've seen them on other cars aha! Just not a Corrado unfortunately :/

Just wondering if anyone runs these on their car? Any photos as I'm looking at getting some! If this in the wrong section I apologise! Just looking for a rough idea what they'll look like! Thanks! Will

Afternoon chaps! I've been having issues with my Corrados PAS for a while now. I've looked up several issues and have narrowed it down; but I was wondering what the forum had to say also! So basically, when stationary, if you turn the wheel the steering will judder, you can physically feel it and hear it! Its not nice, but obviously at speed there no issue turning. So am I right in presuming this is the rack leaking? As there is a noticeable drop in the hydraulic fluid level over a month; and it leaves a drip every where I park it aha! I was hoping it was just the belt tension, but I'm guessing this isn't the case? So, what's the best cost effective was of replacing the steering rack? Preferably I'd like to keep the power steering. Any insight, knowledge or actual help is much appreciated! Thanks, Will

Just wondering how many of us there are? Would be good to arrange a meet, I'm relatively new to owning a corrado. So it'd be nice to meet others, see others cars,get some photography in etc seeing as we live in a nice part of the country :)

Not meaning to be rude.... but why would I need to tap the bolt holes? Surely it is just secured with nuts? Or am I missing something aha!

Garage bled it and have got it down to an occasional sticking to the floor.... better than it was initially. They said maybe its the hose collapsing in under pressure? Any thoughts on that? Or does everyone still think its the master If so where's the best place to get one?

Re-bled this morning. No joy. So its at the garage now :( Hopefully I can drive her home tonight

If I replace the master will I have to bleed the whole system? I can get a master from VW heritage for 36 quid so that's not a problem. It's fitting it, as I don't really have the time or space! Especially seeing as I'm going away and need the car by Friday :(

So I guess my question should have been more like will the master cylinder cause me issues even if it seems to be fine :bonk: :bonk: I'm on the verge on insanity. Because my mechanical mind sees no reason why it should be the master aha. I will take it to the garage across from work tomorrow and see what they say.

I'm well aware of this, but thanks dude :) after spending four hours on it tonight I'm just a bit stuck. Just hoping it's our bleeding method... Otherwise it's the master :/

It's the clutch not the breaks ah! But same principals :)

The thing is, when we clamp the inlet to the slave of and depress the clutch it won't budge. Which too me suggests the masters seals are fine? Or was it the same in your case?

Evening chaps, after an extended stay at work to fit my new slave cylinder, still no joy :( WE bled the system with an eezibleed, no air what so ever. We clamped the in-feed pipe off and the master seals seem fine ( hard clutch ) We can get pressure on the clutch and drive it, but its really spongy and occasionally the pedal will not return. Anyone have any idea why this is happening? Have we just not bled it properly? Please don't tell me its the master, I may cry. Anyone have experience with this? Cheers, Will

Well done hah! But unfortunately yours in the early version, my rado has the N chassis number

You sir, are a lovely man

Bit of a different topic then. Are there actual noticeable gains to be had through de-catting? More reference the 16v more than the vr6

Without sounding completely thick. I'm used to owning relatively new cars, with which I do bugger all to aha! I was under the impression that de-cat was an mot failure? How do you guys get around this?

Jamie, Was it the resonated or non-resonated? Cheers

Sad times for us owners. But it does mean we are driving something that little bit different :D

I'm miles away bud, Salisbury! But thanks for the offer. Doesn't seem to be an awful lot of corrado owners down here aha!

My valver is a daily also, so this helps massively! Any videos or anything? Sorry just want to get a rough comparison compared to stock! Really appreciate the reply MZpog

Evening chaps, Does anyone have a jetex exhaust fitted to their rado? I've got a 2.0 16v and was wondering what they sound like. I know they do a resonated and non-resonated version, but I am unsure if this is even the right exhaust to go for. Any help would be much appreciated! Will
