if youve got some big quality shots of the interior jim that would be awesome. -
the golf and polo ones are a differnt angle. i shall be keeping an eye out for a recaro interior then lee ;)
-
i didnt think corrado recaros had bolt on subframes? thought they were welded? happy to be corrected....
-
sounds like a plan....would need a whole late interior anyway as id want to sell my leather on rather than butcher it/retrim. shall consult the wallet faries.....
-
hmmmm...interesting. from what i can work out they used to list corrado frames....but they dissapear off the list sometime in 1997.
-
ive got my beady little eye on some new recaros....but it would seam that recaro dont make a subframe for the corrado. anyone got any sensible suggestions? (using a nail gun/chewing gum/bolting them to the floor or wedging them in with a bit of wood dont counmt as sensible ;))

no..surely not :( -
what happened to it in the end?? did he sell or has he still got it?
-
im just having my head done as part of the chains/clutch fiasco....cos its on its way out.... gasket and all the bolts from vw is about £120+ vat retail. then depends if you decide to change manifold gaskets and stuff too.....can turn into a quite parts intensive job depending on how anal you are.
-
i bought a brand new one from vw the other week...all new and fresh, with indate contents.... 000093055K £17.02 plus vat retail.
-
ive tracked the rigth one down second hand.....is it worth paying £150 to have it fully reconditioned.......might be worthwhile in the long run...
-
yeah...but vw wont sell you the valve block on its own. i get what your saying though...the ones on ebay are advertised as abs pumps. £1000 + vat from vw.....eek.
-
right.....so all corrado vr6's and golf vr6 after 1994. just need to track one down now...
-
thats exactly how mine is behaving JS. does anyone know if i have edl or not?
-
ok, its been superceded by 1h2 614 117A without edl, or 1h2 614 217A with edl.
-
weird one roger, etka doesnt even recognise that as a valid part code....
-
thats one of them :) the p/n is 1H2 614 117A which fortunately is common on alot of mk3 chassis stuff....otherwise it would be a £800 from the stealers
-
yes, recurring faults. could it be down to nasty old brake fluid?
-
its the thing on the right isnt it?
-
the valve block would be the thing under the bonnet with lots of pipes going to it? and it was leftrear, right rear, front left......
-
ok, vagcom came back with faults refering to "valves" in the abs unit. take it that i need a new one then :|
