Sound Jon.

Here is the cheapest place to get the sender. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-GENUINE-VDO-221-833-002-011Z-FUEL-LEVEL-SENDER-VW-WHOLESALE-PRICE-SALE/163183083932?epid=249158734&hash=item25fe78419c:g:dmAAAOSwNSxVW4D6&frcectupt=true

I sent you an email Jon.

So the cheapest option you have is to buy the sender off ebay and the Johns pump , or alternatively cut a hole out of the chassis floor and do a Freddy Flinstone. I think all in that's under a £100 which is £250 cheaper then the JP pump and sender that VW Heritage was selling and by the sounds of it not even 4 bar,so your on to a winner.

You cant buy a pierburg pump anymore therefore you have to buy a VDO (or 4 bar) pump and the VDO sender as your Pierburg sender will not fit the 4 bar pump.

This confirms that the JP one that VW Heritage was selling must of been a three bar so best with the JP of Johns.

Jon has a VDO pump for sale brand new, and says he will take offers. Cheapest person selling Sender and arrives in a few days. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-GENUINE-VDO-221-833-002-011Z-FUEL-LEVEL-SENDER-VW-WHOLESALE-PRICE-SALE/163183083932?epid=249158734&hash=item25fe78419c:g:dmAAAOSwNSxVW4D6&frcectupt=true

Ahh wondered what they were for .

Mr Shrick on this car , what are all them relays next to the fan fuse , is it something to do with the automatic ?? https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201904106837769?onesearchad=Used&onesearchad=Nearly%20New&onesearchad=New&model=CORRADO&make=VOLKSWAGEN&advertising-location=at_cars&sort=sponsored&postcode=b736hg&radius=1500&page=1&modal=photos

Thanks Dox now to source some door card trims these are now obsolete , one thing I also noticed as my key barrel external seal trim was looking a bit tired is these are bloody obselete to, oh the joy !!!

The barrel was left in the middle horizontal position before I believe and did not work if I pushed the button in. I turned the key furthest to the left possible and now it works by pressing the barrel button in without putting the key in and also locks/unlocks by using the keyfob, is that the correct position it should be left in . Cheers.

Crap me its working now thanks Dox . put it into lock position shut the boot and now working with keyfob with just a push of the barrel, don't need to put the key in the barrel no more, thanks mucker.

Has anyone got the Bentley manual and take a picture and post on here so I can inspect if there is a missing link part, cheers.

Hi Dox, when locking the tailgate barrel manual with the key it does open/lock the tailgate manually , the actuator does move when I press the key fob but the rod to the latch does not move so it something to do with the join at the back of the barrel that connects to the rod that goes to the latch marked a A on picture above I guess ?.

Thanks Dox I don't have a Bentley on hand unfortunately. Here is some pictures of the back of the barrel . I think the area I have circled in green with the two v shaped prongs have some how dislodged from the flat plate at the back of the barrel or there is a missing joint clip god knows.' A' on diagram is the rod that should be unlocking the boot latch when the actuator is activated but is not moving because the prongs seem to be not be attached to anything , 'B' is the actuator rod that is working (moving).

Thanks Dox had a quick search but cannot find any diagrams , Ive got a feeling there is some kind of clip missing Ill post some pictures in a bit .I'm actually really close to just a thing or two missing, when it had a spray job four years back I think a few things just got misplaced, also need left and right door card trims that sit on top of the door card that run parallel to the front windows that covers the lower window seal gap . Cheers.

Have you got the rear seal in situation at the back of the scuttle panel Rob ? 535819521 Part no 37 on diagram. http://www.oemepc.com/vw/part_single/catalog/vw/markt/RDW/modell/COR/year/1995/drive_standart/76/hg_ug/823/subcategory/151000/part_id/0/lang/e#sec_37 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CORRADO-Rear-Seal-for-rain-scuttle-tray-Corrado-89-95-535819521-/362151353133

My tailgate will only open if the key is inserted in the tailgate barrel and turned, I take it that you should be able to just press the button on the key barrel and it should open when the central locking is open ??? Thanks. I've took the rear tail gate trim off and the actuator is working and you can see it pop in and out when I press the remote keyfob , the metal rod looks attached to, I think its something to do where it connects to the barrel as the metal rod going back to the centre of the tailgate locking catch is not moving. Any help would be appreciated folks going to have a bash fixing it later.

Could also be the first sign of the pump failing, if so most lightly the control unit in the pump.Just because you can here the pump does not mean its been controlled correctly. The good news is there are loads of early and late type pumps on ebay starting from £20 which is great really as I believe they were not shy of £400 new, quite refreshing to see a second hand part cheap for a corrado. Ive got my spare one off ebay all ready absolute no brainer for that money. Coulkd possibly be the control valve as well ?

The thing to do with these cars is stock piling parts , i'm always looking for a bargain on ebay even if i dont need the part . Ive got a hunch that the Mk2 16v golf lads are going to start nicking the 16v engines out of the Rado as people are going to try and return them back to stock.

I think they look great polished bugger of a job though sanding it down. Make sure the manifold comes with all the extras like the solenoid, ecu piggy back, and a few other things.

That's the way I would go , remember if you drove off in a new BMW today in a years time you would of lost up to 10k in depreciation so chin up, unless you tell me you got a new BMW today as well. :bonk: Could ask pallet line to collect ?

Hi Justin, Welcome back to Rado ownership, please tell us more about your new low mileage Corrado.

You never know mate he might be able to put an engine block together for you and send it out on a pallet , they are all over his workshop and you can keep the original engine as a spare .

Yep need to get to a man who has seen this many times before, I.e Stealth Racing. For me personally It would be a big thing to keep the original engine if possible. I think cabmaster engine is a AFP engine off a MK4 V6 golf , so you would have to change a fair few parts I reckon .
