i would have cut the bast@rds up if i cought them meddling with my c :mad:

hey guys just a quick word to say that i was woken up this morning at 8.30 by a traffic warden to tell me that some dirty thief had broken into my corrado and nicked off with my cd changer. I got out to the car and i felt sick, its such a violation. the worst thing is my alarm never went off for some reason so all of you out there get an alarm or check your one works. Im only 20 and keepin the car sweet was tricky but manageable but now i just dont know if i can keep it, its a sad day. thanks for listening Ross :(

get yourself down to the scrappies and nick one off a passat, they have the same cable change box as the corrado

nah i recently changed the belt and im pretty sure its tight, the noise is definatley commin from passenger side wheel and sometimes when i turn right i can feel something through the steering wheel like a slight grind, it only happens when you turn the wheel to turn when you spin the wheel back i cant feel the grind. I'm going mental aint i?

nope its all standard stuff. had it on the ramp mid-week and check absolutly everythin. there are no rubbing marks anywhere nothing loose and nothing broken. i'm totally stumped the only other thing o can think of is it being the wheel bearing but it doesnt make that noise??????? i'm goin mental

yeh well bicker away peeps the main thing is weve all got sweet cars that we love, i know that when i head off to school and see my beast sittin out front it brings a smile to my face. Anyway my 16v would destroy you all (joke) just havin a laugh guys :shock:

when i turn right(doesnt have to be full lock) i get a rubbery grindy noise like rubber on rubber or rubber on metal anybody experienced this before its drivin me mental. its a 16v corrado by the way cheers Ross

well it makes a weird sound like a dying duck, ive checked the relay and it clicks away and the fuses are there and it is the right one, sometimes the horn works sometimes it doesnt, i cleaned the earths as well as i could but they were very crusty so im gonna get some new ones. Any body got any other ideas?

my horn on the c is well tempermental sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt, but lately it hasnt worked for ages and when i press the horn the led on the water temperature guage flashes. Any ideas guys? ross

yeh sweet i'll be there. are we from aberdeen going in a bit of a convoy cos i have no idea where im going other wise

Right i have recently bought a mk2 golf 16 valve inlet manifold to replace the one on my corrado cos of the whole 50mm thing(not gonna bore you wi it) any way i sent it off to get powder coated and i got it back yesterday and i've gotta say these boys did a brilliant job. Anyway i'm gonna change it some time next week and apart from changing the injector seals and the gaskets should i change anything else. Ps any advice from people who have done this before would be greatly appreciated. cheers Ross

sounds like a good plan

yeh man it really comes into its own when you get past 4500rpm you can totally feel it pull harder and the valver loves being reved. VW made it to be reved

i've always used optimax, tried esso super unleaded but i'm pretty convinced that optimax is the shit

mine was the same, sometimes it wouldnt start usually when hot. I cleaned all the earths arond it and this was ok for a while but it happened again so i went to go clean up the main power feed into the starter and it came away in the ratchet it was well rusty. so i forked out for a brand new beast(hurt the wallet large) but it starts sweet as now

PD motorsport- will make your dub faster than a speeding monkey ????dont ask

I have noticed recently that there have been a lot of posts about a clunking noise coming from the front of the car usually occuring when changing gear. This can usually be felt underneath your feet. I my self have posted about this. The advice i recieved was to change the front engine mount, which i did and this made driving the car a lot better but it didnt cure the knock. I noticed in the engine bay that there is a small bracket that comes off the gearbox and bolts into the gearbox mount, this part was broken so i figured id change that. (Cutting a long story short) got the bit, jacked the car up to change bit, noticed the wheel could be moved a large amount up and down and realised the driveshaft was about 1 thread away from comming out, after shitting myself i tightened it up and shes sweet now. so i just thought i would share that with you lot to make sure danger cam be averted. Thanks for listening P.s does anyone know the torque settings for the driveshafts?

sounding good will have to look into how much green stuff this malarkey is gonna take

hey it sounds like a G60 transplant for me. I was at the corrado club meet the other before GTI international and there was a guy there in a white C who had put a G60 into his 16 V was that you or do you know this guy would be handy to pick his brains like

At the moment i have a corrado 16 Valve and was wondering what would be involved if i wanted to put a G60 engine in it? I know there is bound to be a few people that have done this conversion. Or heres a crazy thought what about makin the 16 valve run with the G-Ladder is this good stuff. Any help would be appreciated thanks guys

cheers i'll check it out

This has only started happening since the other day, when i put the car into any gear while driving usually hapens in third there is a bit of a clonk, this also sometimes happens if i take it out of gear but keep my foot on the throttle a wee bit. I oridginally thought it may have been the clutch but when it does clonk i can really feel it under my feet wich is weird cos the clutch and box are on the other side of the car. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated Cheers Ross

well guys after postin this query i went to the scrappies got some hose and closed that gap, the car runs as sweet as a nut now a what a note comes off it :shock:

very nice buddy

While at inters i bought a power rhor from dubweiser it looked pretty sweet and i thought it would brighten up the old engine bay a bit. I fitted it last night and it went on sweet as a nut BUT there are two pipes that come off the tube, one come out the right and i think its a rocker cover breather and there is one underneath it and it goes into something. Dubweiser made the pipe that comes off the power rhor too small and its a really bad fit (i'm gonna sort it out today) when i fired up the car it nearly died and then the idle was really lumpy. So i'm just wondering is this part underneath the intake pipe the idle stabilisation valve. Sorry for the long winded question Thanks in advance
