Does anyone own 2020 onwards audi S5 diesel - or any modern diesels - Im tempted to buy one and get rid of a 997 - are modern diesels just unreliable now because of the tech and blue crap. Thanks

My early G reg valver came with no abs and no cats from factory and also has manual windows - if you just look at the early KR16v part numbers on etka for a 16v or early g60 there is your part list. How is everyone ?

Im all good now cheers mate Ferry sorted me out. Yes that panel is exactly the same as mine and fits fine in my 1990 car chap. - 536 is rhd car as well.

I can see that Corrado grave yard is a complete waste of time- Waited three weeks for a set of tow covers and x2 a pillar grommets - just did a paypal claim as kept getting fobbed off- couldn't get a tracking number out of him and asked twice so gave up in the end .

Worked my way to the the rear now very clean and also had the Kamei sills off- serious clean car - found just one rust spot that I wire wheeled, will need a small weld on the infamous rear arch lip - as you can see the the sill is fine just need a simple lip welding on which I got quoted £80- saved in the nick of time- other side is solid. gone round the whole car now and used clear bilt hamber UC for a factory look.top up wax. Its a cracking unrestored car . Also got myself a GTI tax disc. GTI Tax disc.webp

Last week I have had the front bumper off and arch liners - cleaning all arches and UC Bilt Hamber light transparent wax- This car is remarkable free of rust. Makes a huge difference buying one that has been tucked away from the elements .

100 percent never seen him post on here. P.s Im looking for a good set of front bumper brackets with screw lugs intact on rear. Also a good Karmann gearshift trim - mine has been drilled for alarm led s ! Thanks

Thanks Dox- I will give him a try.

Im not sure what happened to them- I know there was a very popular chap engineer their called Brian Rickets who later went onto open BR Motorsports ( Banbury)who sadly passed a number of years ago- I was chatting to a guy who purchased all his stock like nothelle heads- manifolds, camshafts- pistons- to this day all this stuff is still in a lock up . Also the other owner Richard lloyd heard passed away in a plane crash. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Lloyd_Racing history - Air crash. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Biggin_Hill_Cessna_Citation_crash Would love to get a magazine article or advertisement with the corrado in it. Yes I started looking at the history of car and went on the GTI Engineering page on FB- at first the expert on their was denying it was a demonstrator in till one of the sons of an ex mech their said he had been to a show in the exact car brand new- Crowthorne TRRL to put on the GTI Engineering Stand 1990- low and behold dug out a photo wearing the demonstrator plate. The expert has now confirmed it is indeed a demonstrator GTI car .

Hello everyone. I found out my car was an actual demonstrator for GTI Engineering . Its a 1990 car . Ive managed to find one picture with the famous GTI Engineering plate GT100 (GTI 00 ) it was used only on their demonstrator models . If anyone has any magazine articles or even a GTI brochure with the car in I would be delighted if you could share. You can see the previous registrations crossed off and that the car was owned by them for at least 6k miles. The private plate itself is now on a 997 GT3 RS and sold 8 years ago for 35k - so that is off the cards. £15 show plates will do me ha) Cheers,

Thanks James, Hope all is well. Collecting it Friday so fingers crossed she gets home - . The owner has done some useful work to recommission her- generally consisting of new tyres on all corner- internal and external fuel pump- accumulator and hel stainless swirlpot lines , new rad fan and fan switch sensors- warm up regulator refurbished by KTI Engineering., water pump, alloys refurbished. The jobs I have planned refurb gutter seals - Paint bonnet, bumpers x2 Conti timing belt kit Drive shaft volocity seals. Rear exhaust muffler ARB bushes I knocked him off 2k off for that exact reasons mentioned above. That will get the car to a very good condition- will just change parts from thereon within when needed. Cheers

Thanks mate good to be back- we will certainly get a get together this summer for sure and all are welcome !

Thanks for welcome back TD. I m always looking at classifieds and the pull on this one was too much to resist re entering the world of scarce car parts !

Thanks mate will do - my first job will to be refurb the roof gutter seals as the side d shaped rubbers have perished . VR sounds amazing mate will have to meet up at Gilks this summer and show me the fruits of your labour. Vince did my wire loom, but you will need a dual pole sender - a vdo unit m10 x 1 thread from memory- which oil pressure gauge do you have 0-10 bar or o-5 bar - 4 cylinder early tend to be 5 bar and later cars like vr have 10 bar, One really nice little classic touch the car comes with is some rubber hybrid carpet votex blue car mats - never seen them before and in mint condition.
