anyone got a gsf or ecp rad on their rado?? what do u reckon to the quality. cafyns eastbourne want 355 quid to change the rad. the parts are 155+vat (rad). is it worth the extra over the gsf/ecp stuff? they are 128 quid with the vat. is this a unique part to the corrado vr6 as the golf vr rad is only 80 +vat -

dunno what it is but i paid 150 quid for it. bit naive in those days. pretty peeed of about it. feel very ripped off!!! oh well. do u havve to take the front bumper off to change a rad? or does it drop out the bottom some how? can get the part number off the side of the rad dunno if this will mean someone could tell me if it is a poor quality pattern part or a scabby old rad that was hanging round the work shop off another car?? -

I am going to change my discs and pads all round on my 94 vr6. when looking on gsf to order not sure what pads to have. goona plump for pagid but don't know if i have the pad wear indicators or not. admittedly i haven't had a look yet but how can i tell?? also how much brake fluid is needed to completely refresh the system, and how much p steering fluid? how do i change the powersteering fluid (basically is it easy). also its not really worth having drilled discs on a road car?? what do you guys reccomend for discs pads and fluids? thanks matt :D (happy spannering everyone)

-

Cheers mate. appreciated! gonna do it now as can't see any thing

Any one got an idea of how much to have the rear suspension bushes replaced is?
-
can i get away with taking the air box out to replace the bulb in my vr6 rather than having to fiddle around taking out the whole unit?? plus how much for new front fog light and where from as a pheasant decided to smash mine with its head. the corrado won, just! :(

My new exhaust tail pipes as other on tarnished because of the heat generated by the vr6 power!! top gear racing in aylesbury replaced without question the whole rear box under waranty so if your in the area and need a stainless stell zorst try these boys for powerflow systems. what do you think to the new pipes??? :D -
