87 jetta, did you get a chance to see if you had either of these parts? Thanks.

Check all the electrics, sunroof, windows, mirrors and spoiler work as they should, it will save you alot of hassle if they all work as they should. Also check the head lining for mold as this will indicate if the sunroof is leaking. Also check the ABS light goes out after a few seconds from start up, as this is another common fault that can be expensive to repair if you dont know what to look for. And just check the usual places for rust, wheel arches, lower sills etc, and check the battery tray if you can! Hope this gives you a head start. Rob.

Thanks mate. I will take them. So just to check this is for the front and rears seat inc door cards? Do you have the centre console available aswell? PM me you paypal details and I will send the cash over. Im also looking for a tidy black floor and boot carpet if you have that? Let me know buddy.Rob.

Cheers for the pics of the interior. Do you have any other pictures of the complete seat without zooming in close please? Dont worry about cleaning them, i'll sort that mate. If you have a few more pics that would be great. Thanks. Rob.

Stuey, just to let you know that ive just managed to find a windscreen seal on ebay today and ive bought it. So thanks for trying mate, but I no longer need one. Im still looking for the following items though: Red 16v grill badge Cigarette lighter complete interior door handle trim sunroof mechnism parts (anyone breaking a sunroof) and black fitted floor mats. Thanks.

Hi Stuey. Yeah if its in good condition i'll take it mate. How much including postage? Thanks.

Ive figured out the black cable goes into the left connection but dont know which way round the other two go? Can someone with a 2.0 16v please have a look for me and let me know which order these cables go in please? Any help appreciated.

Right thank you for your comments so far. Ive been a busy boy the last day or so and decided to tackle the sunroof as it wasnt sliding back as it should. I was planning on taking the head lining out anyway for cleaning, so I thought it was the perfect time to get the sunroof out also: And then i wrapped the roof in carpet protecting film the prevent rain water getting in,as I wasnt sure how long the sunroof would be out of the car: A picture of the head lining half way through cleaning(big difference): Also started cleaning the MK4 calipers ready for the conversion: Ive also put on some nice new shiney number plates and managed to get a just as shiney pair of front and rear badges off a VW polo at the breakers yard for £1.65 total, bargain. I will add photos of these once it stops raining. Im still trying to source a few parts that im missing, but its starting to come together slowly. I will be reinstalling the sunroof and headlining today and then the car will be getting put on axle stands, this is for two reasons, one is so it makes it easier to get the brakes done next week and the other is so I can refurbish the wheels. -
Cheers for the info on the straps Portent. :) Yes Stuey thats the seal im talking about, do you have one for sale? Thanks.
-
I might take the interior. Is it the black/blue stripe or blue flick type? Rob. Edit:I will wait to see the pictures tomorrow.

Hello everyone. Im sure someone here can help? I have a 2.0 16v and in the engine bay there is a connection block with three wires which have unfortunatly broken off!! Im trying to identify which order the cables should be reconnected. I have looked through some of the wiring diagrams and tried to find a picture of a similar engine but without success! So heres the pictures: I have removed the connector block as the pictures show. But if someone could tell me the purpose of the sensor the cables connect to, and possibly what colour the cables are from left to right so that i can reconnect them. Many thanks in advance everyone. Rob. :)

Cheers Cazza, yeah I recon it was a bargain, because of where I live in West Wales Corrados are few and far between! I travelled to Torrington in Devon to get my other Rado. I will be contacting you shortly aswell mate regarding those interior bits you have. Thanks bud. Beer and ebay have been my downfall for many years,haha.But not this time!! The car needs abit of work but im hoping to get it in for MOT in the next couple of weeks and see how we go! Thanks mate. :) ---------- Post added at 6:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 6:27 PM ---------- A few more pics with the interior back in after its deeeeep clean: Sorry about the dodgy pictures, it was raining and I had rain on the cameraphone lens!! This was also the first time the car had been in the rain for 3 years so i thought i'd check for any leaks half way through the day! Unfortunatly the sunroof is leaking like a sieve!! And the water dripping on my newly cleaned interior. Noooooo! But I know it will be an easy fix, so for now I have put a cover over the roof to prevent any more water getting in. Im also missing the grey parcel shelf if anyone has a spare, and Could anyone tell me what this cable and connector are used for? The connector was on the block but I removed it prior to the photo, it connects to one of the sensors on the right of the engine block, the cables were completely detached but the engine seems to run fine? I will upload more pictures in the next few days. :) -
Hi everyone. After a seven year gap since I owned my last corrado I finally decided to buy another one. I had to sell my previous Corrado so that i could afford to buy a van, my misses was pregnant and I decided to go self employed.But I never wanted to get rid of it as it was my dream car, a 2.0 16v Candy white in mint condition. I honestly think that I have never felt complete since I had to sell it, and I always told myself that one day I would get another one. So roll on seven years ,2 kids, a mortgage and a couple of months looking at the forums and ebay for another one I came across my new corrado. I was trying to find something similar to my old car but candy white seems hard to find, so every night for months I was checking ebay at the cars for sale, and then one night I had a couple of beers and search ebay for 'Corrado' ending soonest! Up came a corrado for sale in the wrong catagory which i hadnt seen before and it had 30 mins to go before it ended. I put a bid on and went to bed. I couldnt believe it when I looked in the morning and i'd won it, it has 84k on the clock aswell as full service history, etc. But then I realised I hadnt actually seen the car and it was located 215 miles away! So not knowing what condition it really was in I decided in my head that I would collect it and if it was really bad then I would strip it for parts. Anyway, I arranged with a friend to collect it and it arrived with me at 11pm in the pitch black so I had to wait till the morning to see what I had bought! I woke up in the morning and it was a lovely sunrise to this: I fell in love straight away :), I couldnt believe the bargain that I had just bought. Its been stored in a garage for 3 years without being moved from what I understand, and it started up first time once the battery was charged! The interior was looking rather dirty though so that was the first job, pull the interior out to give it a damn good clean: And loads of change under the carpet: I put all the carpet in my conservatory ready to steam clean and shampoo them, the misses wasnt too happy: From now on the car will be known as Lulu: Its a bargain and still cant believe ive finally got another corrado on my drive. Anyway, I have some plans for the car and will update this thread over the next couple of months. If anyone on here owned this car previously then let me know if you ever worked as a coal miner as that might explain the state of the interior. :)
