Keyo

Hi, just to let you know the bolt must of supereseded the alen bolt even though it does not show this on etka. It fits fine and I prefer a hex bolt then an alen key as less lightly to strip the head . Just to confuse you even more N 01021527 part number has been superseded by part number N01-021-533.

Yes it is the clutch slave and you would have to undo the bolt for anything to come out, all sorted now lads fitted anew cam sensor and shrick working, car is driving lovley.

Right I have sorted it, the hose I circled was not the hose that was lose, the hose I circled is actualy joined to vacum hose in a T formation as another member mentioned:bonk:, the loose hose just fell out of the back of the reservoir and now connected. Still going to see Vince to check everything is running ok because it might have a dogy flap like my ex.

Ha glad I checked first Ive pulled it off and called Vince, going to pop down there this saturday, pretty excited to get it up and running correctly to see what the difference the shrick makes. The Reservoir is attached to a T junction hose that goes to vacum pipe from the brake server so just got to get this open hose connected somewhere !

Ill contact Stealth and see what he says but it does say on the instructions to attach the open hose to the brake server.

Thanks Fen, Think I have sorted it out, the hose can move only so far in the engine bay becuase of the legnth, and I found a nipple that must have something to to do with the brakes as its attached to the abs pump and the hose fitted on correctly . Please let me know if this is wrong fellow members. Thanks Attached picture [ATTACH=CONFIG]95749[/ATTACH]

Well there is not one out there for sale at the moment ( standalone) but I noticed there is one for sale on a green VR6 on ebay. You could always put an offer on the car and then swop the inlet manifold and sell it on ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-CORRADO-VR6-SCHRICK/352570281486?hash=item5216d38e0e:g:JLoAAOSwUu5cAjde:rk:1:pf:0 I think the hose is either meant to be attached to the brake server or its some kind of air escape???????? I have the original reciept from Stealth it was fitted in 2003 alongside a load of other stuff, Im not sure if the bill was just Labour as I know the Shrick cost a couuple of grand on its own. The bhp is running at 220 with chip apparently. So it could be with parts and labour the guy spent over 8 k on it in one foul swoop which was alot of bloody money in 2003 and still is . The shocks are now shot or just to harsh for my taste and the exhaust is a bit tatty. Got a Milltek catback, Bilstein plus eibach springs ready to fit.BMC has been taken off and replaced with an orinal airbox I sourced. Notice it says vsr not vgi im sure he just misdecribed it or the owner went from a VSR to a VGI manifold a some point . Attached original reciept out of interest. [ATTACH=CONFIG]95747[/ATTACH]

Hi looking for a bit of Shrick knowledge off a fellow member so thanks in advance. The round solenoid valve centre of manifold is lifting a 4000 rpm as it should. However I noticed one of the hoses is not connected to anything is this correct ? . I have attached a picture and circled the hose in question. Cheers. [ATTACH=CONFIG]95741[/ATTACH]

Thanks mate that is the part number I have ordered but the diagram it does not look like an alen key , has anybody changed there cam sensor latley was it an alen key bolt or a hex bolt. It will be arriving in a day or so it might be an alen key bolt. P.s Hortons seat has a variety of Rado discountinued bolts and four to five times cheaper then anyone else without mentioning other company names.

Glued the heads of the bolts back on what a disgrace, thank god you didnt buy a car off him or the steering wheel would of popped off !

They look the business mate not seen them on my Rado as getting the suspension done first. Good thing is they are period and look like stock . Mine came refurbished for £300 but centre are gunmetal grey with chrome surround, would prefer them looking stock to be honest. All I had to do was get some BBS centre caps and tyres. I wonder if they came diamond cut on the outer rim from factory like AMG Monoblocks that would look the bolloks..

Ive not long purchased a set of BBS RS 771 "16 split rims or known as the Golf anniversary alloys , cant wait to get them on the car and have some new Avon tyres on them. Below is a link of them but if you shop about you can get a good set for a few hundred (I did) bit of bargain really for split rims. I would not personally go any larger then 16. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-VW-BBS-RS771-RS-771-Golf-Anniversary-Mk3-Mk4-Alloy-Wheels-5-Stud-16-6-5J-ET42/303022449050?hash=item468d8ba19a:g:S1oAAOSw3v5YoQnQ:rk:9:pf:0

Thanks for all your help mate. Just shows though always worth purchasing from the UK for the litlle more cost, for such an occurence of returning product and customer service.

Your probably right the Koni I bet are on the stiff setting because the car basically bounces over rough roads ha , I reckon if fitted in 2003 and 90 k miles since surely must be past it sell by date.

Right just come off the phone from larkspeed and mentioned returning and about the B3 shocks. He said 98% of the eibach lowering springs do fit correct height and will be so much better the Bilstein B3 springs. So Im going to chance it. As regards in using a B4 shock with a eibach lowering spring he said they are actually designed be used with oem shocks in mind , so Im happy about that as always hereing you need the B8 or B6 , I have B4 and Eibachs on a R129 which drives and sits amazing no bumps and really comfortable. Always disagreed with you need the stiffer shocks (with eibach springs) as retailers always push you to go for the more exspensive stiffer shocks. I base this on going no lower then 30mm. He did say H and R springs are much stiffer then eibach so a stiffer absorber would be required in this instance.

Tempted to ask for a refund any other recommendations for springs ? 1995 rado vr6 It actually has H Ans R springs at the moment and sits two fingers above the tire so correct height for 25 mm , it drives awful though with the Koni shocks as i think they are shot or just to damn stiff. What are the shelf life of springs , these H and r were fitted in 2003 any good still you reckon lads ? Really tempted to go for the B3 Bilstein springs with my new b4 shocks which are basically stock, looks crap with the ride height and everything but you know these cars are getting older and originality is the the thing, also i bet the drive is actually realy good and comfortable. What are your thought rado members ?Cheers.

Thanks PFNSHT, I have just come off the the phone to Larkspeed and he was familar with the issue. He told me that its a problem that has been going on for years and that its not age (year of manufacture related) , its just they fit some perfectly and on other Rados are to short. He said Eibach have researched it exstensivley and have still not got to the bottom of it. Sounds to me like a batch of rear springs has gone out that was manufactured to short or VW had randomly different height supensions which is what Larkspeed are suggesting. So been advised to get my mechanic to fit the ones I have now and if they dont fit to call them back , but that means my car could be off the road a while a x2 cost for mechanic bit of a bummer. I told him mine was a late model.

I have some Eibachs ready to fit on B4 shocks which are basically the same as the stock shocks, how are you finding the ride mate is it harsh or is out just a bit harder . Also seen comments on here saying the rear springs can be to low on a late VR6, how do you find them ? Thanks.

Also recommend getting the bonnett strut powder coated for a for a few quid, all these little things add to the cars appearance.

Hi Patrick, Thanks a bit of Insulation , engine cleaner, head polish and new trim bolts can make a world of a difference, also a few oem stickers , I sourced an original airbox to which really gives the engine bay authenticity. You can get the insulation from the link below . https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Corrado-D%C3%A4mmmatten-f%C3%BCr-Motorhaube-mit-Facelift-Buckel-nach-oben-t-10mm/292461571372?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

Tried searching and could'nt find anything, I will be calling Eibach tomorrow, I dont want to be paying the mechnic twice and aslo if the shocks are far to low they could damage the new absorbers.

Mine is a 95 aswell, b12 are the sports shocks so might be different legnth then B4 adding to the problem not sure , looks like they have had plenty of time to clear things up on product description, going to be pretty cheesed off if the rear springs are to low . Yep you should be able to get two fingers on a 25mm drop they bulled up for sure.

I do have rear springd coded EW8513002HA , when you say lower too much is that on the B12 set up they might be fine with the B4 ??? Thanks

See what you mean now PFNsht Im going to check the codes now and open the box ha !

Thanks. Mine are E8513-140 and only lower 25 mm to 30 mm they are knows are as the pro kit , Im putting them on B4 shocks which are 10 % stiffer then oem so hopefully going to hit the middle ground with this set up.
