My father in law is selling a mk3 gti he has just bought to do up but due to his MG roadster needing all his time he hasn't the space to start on the golf. On ebay ending tomorrow. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330696609379?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Would rather not be spending that kind of money for what I need really but if I get totally stuck then I might get back to you

Have you got the plug connectors for the back of the window switches both sides and mirror switch. Putting a late interior in my early valver so need to re-wire the switches. Kieran

Quality mate thanks very much. I had a luck but couldn't find it myself

I have a late interior I am fitting into an early valver. I have the actual switches just require the plug connectors for the back of the electric window switches (both sides) and mirror switch. Please help!! Cheers Kieran

Cheers mate will get on there and have a look

I've recently bought a late interior for my early valver to brighten it up for getting it back on the road. I noticed the early electrics for windows and mirror switch are different. Any advice please on how to get them wired up. Do I need to buy the late loom or can I change the switches over?? Or even have I made a total cock up and its not possible to fit the late into an early. Any help appreciated cheers

If Portent doesn't want the rear badge I will take it please Daz for £10 posted

I aint fitted it yet mate. But should get a look at it over the next couple of weekends. Hopefully it's a straight swap as the auction stated is was specifically made for the corrado. Someone will be getting a very hard time if it doesn't though!!

I've just purchased a late interior for my early valver and need both side door handles and door pulls. Anyone help me out. How much posted if so??

I just bought one of these off ebay. It you got the extra money worth it as its a more solid piece of kit http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Corrado-Driver-Side-Window-Regulator-Motor-New-/300565291284?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item45fb166114

Anyone on here still sell the door handle repair kits. If so how much for a pair please folks?? If not where can they be sourced!!

I've recentely had a few problems with one of my temp sensors on my early valver and since swapping the water gauge wire and isv wires round to run the car until I can fix it the car has developed a weird ringing noise (high pitched bleeping/tone sound) around the dizzy and only starts making the sound when the cars warmed up. It only appears above 1500rpm when driving but stops when changing gear. I revved the engine with the bonnet up and caught it so that it made the noise when stationary to work out exactly where it was coming from and its either the dizzy itself or the idle valve. I know the idle valve buzzes and is meant to buzz but this is louder and when running. Could it be the dizzy or its bearings on its way out or the isv. Or is it something totally seperate anyone has experienced. Any help peeps I've done a search but couldn't seem to see anything. Kieran

I have an early valver 1990 with fsh and its just flew through its MOT for the forth year in a row needing just one rear number plate light bulb!! Last three years before has only needed brake pipes or other very minor bits. How good or bad is your rado through MOT time??

My mate just sent me a link for this off his fave corsa site!! Its good to know someone has some taste on their with the red rado. I want a xbox now looks quality anybody know what the game play is like though?? http://corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=524788

I have recently changed two of the temp sensors on the side of the head. Since doing so my car runs hotter?? Anyone know if this is correct and whether using aftermarket sensors will make a difference or whether different sensors will give different readings?? Any help would be appreciated. Im close to putting the old ones back in as they a genuine VW to see if this helps?? I also have a neuspeed fan switch fitted which at first was superb cooling at the right time no probs but recently doesnt seem to keep the car so cool and fan is not kicking in at 80c like its meant to more like 90c. My rado used to run at 90c no matter what even in traffic would never go above and now since changing the sensors it can go up to near 100c?? Cheers in advance Kieran

could be idle valve if its revving up by itself and then settling again, also vacuum leak, fuel air mixture, allsorts of possibilities tbh!! Try doing a search for different things and start with the cheapest and easy tests first. You will find the problem in the end

I've changed everything on my cooling system since I owned the car because it ran hot all the time. Water pump, Head Gasket twice, Every pipe, Oil cooler, Expansion Tank, Radiator twice. After all this and it ran fine with no leaks, losses of water or overheating I fit one of these. Would agree with supercharged to get the overheating problem fixed first then fit either genuine vag or one of these if you still want to. Im not saying these fix a problem but if you get a good one then they can actually be okay :)

I've got an early valver and its goes straight in. Been fitted for over a year now and never missed a beat fan kicks in at about 80-85 and never lets the temp go over 90 (even sitting in traffic when the UK actually has a hot day). On longer runs car never goes over 85 and on cooler days sits at 80 all the way. Would highly recommended if you want to keep temp down. Not sure about later rado's and not sure about the adaptor it only mentions mk3 and mk4. Drop them an email at awesome and see what they say :?

I bought some pure peanut oil off ebay not dear bout £6 inc p&p!! Works a treat all grey plastic areas now black and if its better than peanut butter like I imagine it will be then I wont be doing it till the after the summer hopefully :D Highly recommended and cheaper than back to black and other after market cons!!!!!!

Mine always used to sit at 100 but after another head gasket along with the head being skimmed, new coolant pipes, radiator, oil cooler etc (all of which did need changed due to leaks or failures). Its sits at 90 permanently even in this supposed heatwave!! Got a lower temp rad fan switch fitted now and is definite must if you want to cool sooner rather than later. Kicks in nice an early if sitting in traffic for long times or after long journeys

if its dripping off the filter or from the filter then its defo worth checking the dowty washers and connections around the filter itself. Also the pipes from the tank or to the engine bay for cracks or splits if the pressure of the fuel lines when running stops the leaking like buttles says then it could be before the filter or on its way to the engine bay
