  1. Not too bad then. bit of a pain this time of year though! Thanks again guys, legendary as always!
  2. Don't have air con, but i think you might be right. There's the tensioner at the top, then 2 smaller wheels then this wheel I'm on about. Any idea what sort of work i'm in for if it is on its way out?
  3. what is the name of the wheel i'm waffling on about, what does it do?
  4. A ha the old trusty lubrication. Will try! If not, is it bearing replacement time in your opinion?
  5. Sorry, diagram was rubbish so left it out. :oops: If you look at engine from the side, its the larger one toward the cabin, that the back of the belt runs on.
  6. Hi there, Need a quick answer I'm afraid. K reg VR6 Have a squeaking i can here from engine bay, coming from the tensioner belt area. Disappears when no accelerator applied. Believe it is from the larger wheel closest to rear of engine bay that the back of the belt goes over. If my eyes are not decieving me, looks as if it isn't running straight and true, possible wobble. Had a search on the forum but am a bit unsure of exactly what the wheel is and whether its an emergency or whatever. Heard talk of pumps etc. Just abit unsure. Diagram included on the text document, its the lowest of the wheels on the diagram, if that helps. Thanks to anyone who can help. J
  7. Hi Joniboy Congrats on a wise purchase, I bought my VR6 back in June this year, same colour as well, plus my name's Jon! Great minds think alike! What ever anyone says about the probs with corrados, don't worry they are more than worth it! J

  9. Am a 25 year old whipper snapper. History 17-20 Mk1 Golf 1.1 C 20-22 Mk2 Golf 1600 Driver 22-24 Renault Laguna RXE (Had a gay computer voice telling me when the door was a jar! Had to go) 24-25 Nissan 200sx S14 25+ Corrado VR6 (at last the car I'd wanted since I first started buying VW magazine!!!!! Realise thats not quite as impressive as some lists on here but hey, I will look after it, promise, scouts honour. :oops:
  10. My tuppence worth - Had the Bosch, they looked cheap and nasty and althouth slightly better, still didn't clear windscreen that well. The lupo wipers were and are ACE - they look excellent, they clear the screen better than any other car i have owned at any speed , leave no streaks at all and if you befriend your local dealer he might give you a discount bringing them down to just over £30 (like one i went to) £30 for all that, what are you waiting for - when parts for your C end up being so expensive sometimes, you can't begrudge a 3 tenners worth!

  11. Why oh why did i buy my VR6, :roll: Why didn't someone tell me shopping trolleys were so fast :cry:

    1.8T vs VR6

    Sorry to interrupt, Workmate and i swapped car for the 25 miles home (he has 1.8T (180) mk IVgolf, I have the Vr6 rado). After the beautiful Vr6 noise, I had to open the window to check his engine was still actually there with me foot down. Just gotta say, drivin the Gti (although refined (rar rar)) was total w**k compared to the corrado, no feel, no class, no ROOOOARRRRR! Plus the gear shift was shocking, felt like i was beating the car with a stick! J
  13. Hi guys, Can anyone email the template, just want to check against my own hamfisted drawing! mailto:[email protected] Am a teacher, planning an extra curricular session in the metal work room. Hey maybe I could get the kids to make em and then sell them on! J
  14. Reason i ask about blue red is that i had similar white on last car, my old 200sx and it got a bit tiring on the eyes after a while at night, plus blue red matches perfect with Blaupunkt kit i use.
  15. Sorry for adding a dumb question, please excuse, just need to clarify for my brain. Found the thread by lookin up indiglo, will these final ones actually be blue at night like the Golf MkIV's, or come up white as shown in pics.(sorry for being so dense!)Really after the blue/red glow look of my bro's 1.8T! Cheers guys!
