Keyo

Can't say I have but maybe you can be the guinea pig and share your findings on here.

Not really VAG related but thought I would start a new long term thread. Don't see many of these anymore pretty cool with the Zender Kit and SEC bonnet and the monoblock alloys. Are we in agreement this is becoming a cheap cool classic ? What a fantastic engine bay to work in with all that space ! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mercedes-190E-2-0-Zender-kit/143208080782

Just seen your In Norway so I guess if your out the city centre should be quite safe apart from crashing into a Reindeer ha !

New fuel pump another bit of reliability that's what you need in a Rado ha.

Well be careful chap don't leave your car anywhere vulnerable because I imagine they are quite easy to steal without additional security. I had a MK2 golf 16v nicked in seconds in 1994 and never owned a car since without one. When I purchased the car the seller said it had one and I believed him, I managed to get the car back but the Insurance company refused to pay out because they could see no trace of a immobiliser and I couldn't supply a certificate lesson learnt .

You can purchase a Toad Ai606 Cat 1 immobiliser and Alarm off ebay for a £100 and get if fitted for £120, that's the way I would go on this. My VR6 originally came from Northampton and the dealer fitted a aftermarket Scorpion immobiliser but I changed it out for a Toad for reliability.

Thanks for the info Riot, what I'm asking Bosch, the pump your manufacturing what bar is it, because for a late model VR6 you want a 4 bar.

I will be contacting Bosch tomorrow, just hope they have a definitive answer whether it is indeed a 4 bar.

Agree I want it to be 4 bar. I have fitted a 4 bar fuel pressure regulator and the whole point of me doing it is to get the mixture adaption fault code 00561 deleted for good. I was tempted to get the VDO but it was nearly four times the cost. I will ring Bosch on Tuesday and try and get it out of them and post on here, also if it is 4 bar post how it went getting it fitted to a VDO housing.

This is the same pump on ebay from euro carparts but more expensive and says bar 4 on description, I have been on the Bosch product site and it doesn't even mention the bar on the spec sheet for some reason so I have took my reference from them but purchased cheaper off OPIE oils, hope Euro C have got the description correct ha ! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bosch-Electric-Fuel-Pump-VW-Vento-Transporter-Caravelle-Sharan-Skoda-Seat-Ford/332569407508?epid=249253361&hash=item4d6eae7014:g:1IAAAOSwBJNbVjnf Cross reference details FORD 1028808, 1047280, 95VW 9H307 AC, 96VW 9H307 AA PIERBURG 7.21981.50.0, 7.21981.55.0 SEAT 1H0 919 651 H, 1H0 919 651 N, 1H0 919 651 P, 1H0 919 651 Q SKODA 6U0 919 051 B, 6U0 919 051 C VDO E22-041-056Z, E22-041-059Z, E22-041-060Z VW 1H0 919 054 AK, 1H0 919 054 J, 1H0 919 651 H, 1H0 919 651 N, 1H0 919 651 P, 1H0 919 651 Q, 6U0 919 051 B, 6U0 919 051 C

Thanks Fen, On ebay it does not state that it is 4 bar but I investigated further and it is indeed a 4 bar pump apparently, hopefully it will work with the housing , it also has a few extra fittings , VDO is the way forward though agreed.

Is it a stock anti roll bar. If its red it will be a a Eibach one and you can still buy the bush kit from Eibach.

Great stuff TD, I'll make a note and check the clamp ring is fitted that sounds a unfortunate you had a leak. Not the most pleasant job for Stealth not me ha ! If it makes you feel better I cahnged a fuel pressure regulator on my drive and did not have the clip lodged on properly, turned the car over and got petrol ****ed all over my driveway . Grrr. Cheers.

The Bosch pump does come with a bit of a kit and a couple of hoses, like you mentioned its all down to is it compatible with the other fittings in the tank, so I was wondering if anyone had fitted this pump to a late VR6 and had success.I will be changing it because of the fault codes, we have pretty much eliminated everything else apart from the injectors which are also getting done. Could always be a rogue bit of wiring to though I imagine. Fitting instructions https://www.partsinmotion.co.uk/xlist/80/0986580823IN00WHCOB900.pdf Cheers.

Took the Hardtop off the lady and made a rack in the garage from scaffolding to suspend the roof to relief some much needed space on the garage floor. Going for a nice drive into Malvern over the weekend enjoy the mild weather everyone !. [ATTACH=CONFIG]96774[/ATTACH]

Here is an option from the states if the part is obselete. http://vintagerubber.com/corrado-rear-hatch-glass-seal/

Hi bringing this thread back alive guys. Part Number 1H091651Q Will this Bosch fuel pump fit a N reg corrado VR6 as it says it is compatible on the table and four bar. Just been reading a few threads off here and a bit confusing. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SKODA-FELICIA-6U-Fuel-Pump-In-tank-1-3-1-6-94-to-02-Bosch-1H0919651H-1H0919651N/332308337350?epid=1341756560&hash=item4d5f1ed2c6:g:wAwAAOSwEBxZbSRq We are hoping the fuel pump housing and attachments are still ok and just changing the pump. The Bosch pump seems a good price. After my car has had all the work done its driving like a dream but unfortunately after doing all the exhaust and manifold gaskets, mas sensor,catalytic and 02 sensor (which were leaking or on the way out anyway) after deleting fault codes have reappeared on my V Gate displaying 00561 sporadic mixture adaption exceeded limit which has also triggered fault code 00537 sporadic O2 sensor regulation. There is no hesitstion or jultness in the engine what so ever and noticeable air leeks. This leaves us to think injectors which have never been changed or refurbished and there is no history of a new fuel pump. I do plan on going on long trips this year in the Rado so wont begrudge changing these parts. I take it sporadic means intermittent, basically meaning not so serious but on the way out and will get worse? Cheers.

Whoops Here we go. http://www.classic-store.com/product_info.php?products_id=80285

Hi All, Thought I would share the link below as it seems there are no hinges available anywhere and VW Heritage are sold out for a while and they don't look great quality either, the picture they advertise even has a chunk missing off the corner and a pressed pin rather then drop forged . They are priced cheap so you pay for what you get I suppose but been such a bummer of a job you wouldn't want to do it again in a rush. I was going to get the body specialist to put some shims in to raise my door a little as it's got a bit of driver door sag but his a bit of a perfectionist and will only do the job with new hinges and pins. Searched high and low on ebay and VW sources and couldn't find anything, pretty amazing really as they share the same hinges as the MK2 golf, Jetta, polo, and various other models. So in the end I stumbled across this company in France . Half Hinge German Meyle http://www.classic-store.com/product_info.php?products_id=80284 Pin http://www.classic-store.com/product_info.php?products_id=80284 Hoping there good as they look. They accept paypal and shipping is a lot cheaper then German prices.

3m tape is the one but be careful if you purchase off ebay, most of them are fake Chinese copies that people are knocking out.

To be fair the materials that they used to manufacture it were great, it was just the engineer that fabricated it did a lousy job a shame.

Thanks Jon your not to far away from me. I'am well chuffed. The good news is as well I think I may well have found an old skool body specialist who is skilled and can cut out metal. My neighbour at my works yard is a land rover defender specialist that takes them back to the chassis and rebuilds them and he recommended him for body work. Not getting anyone excited but this guy actually can make body panels in his lock up a bloody legend ha. I'll keep everyone updated on his work and the conclusion . He is based in Nuneaton and well known in the classic Jaguar community and a fair price.

Ive got one only £798.00 ha , only joking better off getting one second hand then the BM , although it really is down to the engineer making the part in the BM factory I must of had the lazy rotter make mine.

Not long had a BM down pipe, had to send it back, it was 15 degrees out at the plate and also had awful rough welding basically a piece of junk. Not sure If you can get another aftermarket down pipe I looked hard, have you considered some headers you can get some from Germany for half the price of a new down pipe from VW Classics. The best decision would be to go for the original new but very expensive, You might also find that you have a couple of faults codes because of the air leak, air mixture adaption and the Lambada sensor. On the other hand I got a aftermarket EEC Cat which was exceptionally well made. Might be worth calling EEC and see if they make a downpipe. ( EEC British company)

It is great it's like driving a modern car knowing that it will just have a thing or two that come up needing to get replaced and of course reliability for long journeys. I went for the resonated just in case the none res had a horrible drone at certain speeds when cruising.
