The membranes are the usual thing Carl... Mine used to leak because they had rotted away. Hope the Corrado is going well!

That is amazing! this gives a good idea too, same videos overlapped i think,

There are 4 Corrados that i know of in Brisbane actually mate!! 3 of them are owned by the same guy, G60JAY on here and another G60 came over about 2 years ago...

Toyota Land Cruiser all the way :notworthy: , they're unbreakable, and thats coming from a country where every second car is a 4x4, and they get used for what they're designed for here

Carpoid aka Matt Is allergic to Nuts, but not 100% sure which ones, definately Peanuts but not sure about the others :eek: Has never been in a Corrado VR6, as a passenger or driver :mad2: Is obsessed with and colects Vinyl Mo Wax records, for the Futura artwork just as much as the music (DJ Shadow/Krush etc) :notworthy:

I hear you, but, its an Audi. Audi have the S3, VW have the Golf R. Audi have the S4, VW have the Passat R36. Audi have the TT, VW have the Scirocco. Whats to say that the Scirocco won't be improved and be rebadged as a Corrado when VW are confident enough that it lives up the name? It may never happen, but i wouldn't rule it out all together.

I think if they were to make a Corrado badged coupe then it would be an evolution of the Sciricco, just like in the early 90's, so theres no point in ruling the possibility out altogether just because the Scirocco is in production. The thing is, the Corrado name/image as far as i can see was never looked down on or seen as a disappointment. Yeah it was a sales flop, at 20000 pounds + back then it was bloody expensive, and seeing as you could have a Golf with a VR6 engine which was a few thoasand less and more practical... In my opinion the Corrado was much more respected than the Scirocco, and still is to this day. So it's got more to live up to, maybe when people are bored with the Scirocco and VW release a much better looking and better performing coupe (with AWD) then people will be queing up to trade in their old roccos for one?

With some tweaking here and there this could look OK. http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2010/02/de ... -from.html

I kind of agree woth VR6 ^ BUT, all mods are reversable i reckon - you can always 'mod' it back to standard. AND, if you want opinions heres mine - Grommet the rear wiper hole. I colour coded my handles and thought it looked good, can't stand the look of Audi handles. Aren't SLC bumper indicators not actually indicators, but just side marker lights that don't wink? Get rid of them all together if you don't like them i say, i got rid of mine. Don't see the point in the vent myself, and i quite like the badges. So there.

ARZ Tuning sell it too, but its around 90 pounds there so may as well get it from VW http://www.arz-tuning.de/shop/advanced_ ... ening+foam

Thanks for doing that to the pic mate, looks loads better!

Not mine anymore but;

You may be suprise how cold it can get here, we get frosty mornings and very light snow at times! Only chilly for a couple of months though so i probably won't need them much!! Very comfortable seats though. Cheers all.

I looked at Mk5's, i really like them but they lack the character and uniqueness i think. They look too much like the Jetta from the front and other Golf models. Also they are too gadget filled for my liking and the interior plastic quality doesn't feel as good. And more importantly again, the Mk4 feels better to drive i think. Its shocking how quickly the Mk5 prices dropped in Australia, some are not much more than a decent Mk4.

True Jim. I always liked the Mk4 R32 and thought it had real character, much more than the S3. Just that the R32 was way too expensive to even look at back when they were released. Bit like the Corrado again i suppose!

Cheers mate, after alot of hard thinking about what to do with my Corrado i decided on this. I was very close to buying a donor car to VR6 my C and then Turbo it, but the more i looked into the future i think i would of wanted the 24V and then the 4WD eventually, it would of cost me thousands in the end. Also i agree with you on the character thing, if i was just after power then i'd go and buy a Skyline, they are fairly cheap and eady to to get tuning parts for in Aus, but a car needs to be much more than that to me, has to tick a few more boxes doesn't it!

I basically came to same conclusion and bought one today actually!! Very nice mate, everyone who owns one seems to be happy with them, good replacement car for sure..

Hey guys, bit excited today as i bought an R32. The car was bought in Adelaide and is being sent over to me near Brisbane. There were only 200 Mk4 R32s sold over here, all 2004 models, 100 Deep Blue Pearl, 50 Black Magic Pearl and 50 Reflex Silver, all 3 door with no sunroof :clap: , xenons, climatronic and heated Konigs. They were sold with a small plaque on the gear surround saying what number out of the 200 it is, and 2 keytags with the same engraving on them all in a pretty box :grin: So its a nice car to have after the Corrado, still a bit rare with the correct number of doors, but more importantly i now have 4WD and a 24V VR6 with 6 gears :clap: Just need a Turbo :norty: climatronic wiring-Golf from May 01.pdfMy R1.jpg[/attachment:39u3syxx] 2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdfMy R2.jpg[/attachment:39u3syxx] My R3.jpg[/attachment:39u3syxx]

Have you tried using the search on this site? I had a similar problem with mine, but sold the car before i had a chance to fix it. Have a search mate, you may find its the sensor up near the ISV causing it, or the relays in front of the coolant bottle.

Some more designs and stuff about the Corrado making a come back... With some tweaking here and there it could look OK. http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2010/02/de ... -from.html

A/C had very little influence on my decision, i didn't actually mind it too much without A/C, i did drive it everyday for over 4 years without it! Wouldn't of been too much of a drama to fit, but when looking for another car its always nice to get in a car that has it!

:lol: Maybe i have lost the plot but i feel alright!! Quite happy with my decision for now at least :)

7 1/2 x 17 et 33 front. 8 x 17" et 20 rear, i think!! The rears are the same wheels, but with 1/2 wider outer rims.
