N 903 580 03 has been superseeded by N90358004, specs are M14x1.5 Cheapest from LLL Parts (has parts diagrams too) but they have a picking and packing fee so only worthwhile if you're buying other bits and bobs. If not heritage parts do it for £12.50+post... You probably could easily find an equiv on HEL or as Dox says Pirtek's website as it looks pretty generic unlike 048 133 505 https://www.lllparts.co.uk/product/N90358004/banjo-bolt 048 133 505 is available from VW Classics, it is M12x1.5 but has a filter in and perhaps is pretty unique, not sure the HEL ones would work for this https://www.volkswagen-classic-parts.com/catalog/en_uk/part/048133505?epis=002,004,006,007,009,013,014,020,030,043,044,051,055,059,064,065,066,067,069,070,076,077&ct=3&q=048 133 505

I can't remember the rules.. could you engine swap to a more modern ULEZ complient engine, like a 2.0 TFSI 🤪

Solid efforts, it is great to see these build threads showing these cars being saved, especially when people DIY as well.

Looking good Dougie, what banjo clamp are you after? We might be able to suggest an alternative - HEL Performance make quite a few bolts. VW parts supply is pretty rubbish, even Mk5 Golfs are suffering with VW obsolescence, however there are many alternatives out there. All the best Matt

It is not sadly 😞

I'd get them shot blasted and then upto you on powedercoat or paint. Alternatively if you have time you could use deox gel or even electrolysis to get rid of the rust. I put J&R driveshafts on a few cars and never had any problems. They are pretty reasonable to buy for the Corrado. https://www.jandrcvjoints.co.uk/volkswagen-corrado-2.9-petrol-1994/catalogue/drive-shafts-509

That would be decent. The whole Corrado "world" is quiet / not a lot going on.

Oui, I have made the changes now. I knew they were wrong but left them, I was just sharing for oneohtwo as he had a leak after not using for while and wanted to highlight what can happen if you leave it a while with that type of clamp.

I too have just had a fuel leak, haven't turned the car on since a couple of weeks before my hols, so now sat for 6 weeks. I went around the village and could smell fuel. I realise the the clips for the fuel hose aren't the oem ones that move with heat cycles so will change those as first port of call. Those lines are new in the last year.

That's good, at least there are some options. What attracted you to the one in the link Dox? I put the VDO NOS one in mine, even though it had a crack on the casing. No doubt one day i will need to replace it.

How about this Bosch unit? £102 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166574535713?_nkw=1H0919651Q&itmmeta=01J73G3N6HX13325DPFX997MB3&hash=item26c89db421:g:bZQAAOSwlN1luS6c&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKmNsErjcCK0FXiGL6G7%2B6R4ts5z%2FTIVDZyVPhD08wCvudSbv1ekLyA8xIddpgZW7bmqnDdv1f8A12wRYj30nXG7nRN8fRMiloTUgrjjqvn8OvATRcetD2KKh%2FrtuVjuL0wthAuwM4%2BXHw08F7I0lPV5pofjNF01H3rE%2F1757jGss8u7TyUn28NAv89ts0z77jj8gUIzJeCihFKZwrSbb5UWGgZSqZOU0gy4XKM17xCfzkbzNs42m0nWdLDIoThsFJpRWLKZdBOWCGsxZt44CW2LwuN5a7gjd8yXTaAoZBrVaw%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6zTjvC4ZA It is listed with the Corrado VR6 4 bar part number 1H0919651Q and on searching of the Bosch Part number attached 0 986 580 823 does confirm 4 bar for that Bosch part no. Edit to add - found it even cheaper here https://www.kmotorshop.com/en/article-detail/view/274323/fuel-pump-0986580823-bosch-1028808-1h0919651h-1hm919051m

Hi, It would be best to write an honest advert somewhere like ebay or the owners group on facebook and sell it on for project money if that's what the car is (you could put it on here too, not many people use the forum these days but it can't hurt). Any money spent on renovations won't come back to you and arguably you've done the right thing with yours to extract value from it - driven it for 28 years! Bodywork is really expensive as well these days which will sadly drive to many project being broken for spares. The market is pretty poor generally these days but if the price is right then it will sell in time. What is the spec, miles of the Corrado? Leather? I've seen a few projects for sale on the facebook group ranging from £1500-3500. Not sure if they actually sell. Sadly you can pick up a nice enough corrado vr6 for £7ish so that doesn't leave much meat on the bone if bodywork is needed, which with welding works could cost at least 5 figures.

Chris they will be epic on your corrado. You can easily put it back to standard when the need arises but you can't easily get your hands on a set of those and for 99% of people some tasteful mods such as these would never detract from your efforts. Hell I'd love a set (anyone reading please point me in the right direction!!). Sent from my SM-G990B2 using Tapatalk

The engine bay rubber fuel lines connect to the hard line fuel lines that run through the chassis below the brake booster cylinder. Perhaps there is a problem there and fuel is making it's exist via the chassis rail holes the hard lines run through. It is unlikely the hard lines themselves have failed. Re the Coolant temps - if the reading is way off the car won't fuel right for a cold start (i.e. it may think the engine is warm) so is more difficult to start when cold.

You'll likely be fine with the Lucas as the part no is the right one. It's a good brand too. Do you know if your car has a pierburg or vdo pump currently? Mine is an early '94 car and had pierberg so on replacing with a vdo pump i had to buy the vdo sender as well as the pierburg one is different.. https://www.volkswagen-classic-parts.com/catalog/en_uk/part/535919673C?epis=&ct=3&q=535919673C
