Does anyone know if an induction kit off a golf vr6 will fit on my corrado vr6? Thanks

ok cheers lads thats great I know theres one on ebay just wanted to check. Thanks

Hi I need a new cental locking pump but mine is missing so I cant get the part number off it. It is a vr6 1992 K reg there are two different pumps with part numbers 1ho962257g supposedly the later one 357962257 meant to be the earlier one Can anyone help and have a look on theres its in the boot drivers side by the strut behind the carpet in a foam case. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated Many thanks Will

I have done it on my vr6 if you still need to do it and couold give you a full description

My vr6 leaked from the plastic housing holding the thermostat but it was nt a crack but the gasket between it and the head try a new one and some gasket sealer and lightly sand the the join to remove any residue first.

Cheers lads the problems all fixed it was the thermostat. Bit of a job though, if anyone wants ill put a full write up on of how to change it. It now runs cooler and the fans come in much earlier. Sorry for the problems I dont want to get a bad name on the forum as I have only recently joined when I acquired my third corrado. Thanks Will

The sad boy who was using my user name is now registered as ssssupercharged and is now making a mockery of the forum. Sorry on his behalf for his behaviour feel free to give him abuse :evil:

only joking the tyres cam on there and theres a bit of tread left on them so i will keep them for a while, untill the psi drops low

i have only just bought the car and it came with the tyre on it. i preferably mould have gone for 190 70 13 as they are free and my mum and dad recommend them highly

sorry about the cap locks, im really sorry. yes man i got the 195 65 15 with the corrado and it looks pretty good with the standard five spokes, i also bought anodised blue dust caps to match the colour of the car. im sending it into the paint shop at the end of the week to get the dash board colour coded in mettallic blue. what do you think???. the tyres dont look that phat pretty low profile compared to my mummys jeep.how much do think it will cost me to lower it i want 60mm and im prepared to pay upto a thousand pounds fitted and balanced.

Hi guys thanks for replying, normally people think I ask pretty sad and stupid questions and never respond to my posts. but hey dudes thanks alot you bunch really are so kind and loving. Where do I find how much water I have in the car, Im not exactly tip top with engines, I get my mate to do it for me cos I only now how much tyre pressure Im supposed to have in my tyres (I was extatic when i bought this vr6 with massive 15 inch wheels and 195 65 15 tyres) tyre pressure is such an important part of my life, I mean one psi or lower below the recommended levels as stated on the tyre wall could mean a crash and my dad tells me off if Im one psi below the recommended tyre inflation guide as he loves me dearly. any how, I have searched for an hour now and all I could find was a large round bottle with a blue colour liquid in it, it smelt quite revolting (strong alcoholy, disinfectant smell), so I drained all that out and topped it up with fresh water, Ii filled it up to the maximum mark, I hope this wont do any damage could somone please confirm as I am really worried incase my engine starts to smoke. I replaced one spark plug toady as my mate with a vw golf se suggested this may sort the trick out, but it didnt work unfortunatley :( so come boys give me some more pointers I am at my witts teather :idea: *mod edit - De-capped post - Henny*

Another question for you andy how much did you lower your VR6 by as I can only seem to find 40mm springs and yours looks sweet are coilovers the only answer will 40mm and 17"s look ok or will I want it lower

What do you mean exactly by fan controller I tested the fans by bridging the connection on the fan switch. If it is different where abouts would I find the fan controller? P.S thanks for your reply I would appreciate any advice as I dont want to cook the head gasket :(

Hi I have a corrado VR6 and the fans are'nt kicking in early enough its getting real warm. However they are working when i turn it off and i have bridged the switch and the fans are working. I saw the post in problems so i have fitted a new fan/radiator switch and it has not fixed it. Do I change the thermostat next? I was told there are also 2 more temperature switches one on the head and one on the block whats the best thing to try? thanks P.s where abouts on the engine is the thermostat located?
