done the thermo and filled as per advice still no heater and temp exactly the same really thought id solved it as i crept over 70 then i started driving ot went right back down again grrrrrrrr :mad: i might have to take it into a garage at this rate changing thermo was easy though! any more ideas people? im going to try a expansion bottle cap as a last thing to try maybe is not letting enough pressure build up but this normally makes a car run hot not cold.

yeah i think retro wheel suit the corrado better mines got azev as on but one is badly curbed dont know if its fixable might be cheaper to get new wheels any way those refurb places are so expensive! might go for the borbets in 16"

are those borbet wheels on your car g-lader?

isnt a kompressor a supercharger? yeah it is im sure it is. yeah im going with the private plate too ultimate stealth :D enjoying my return to the shrine of the supercharger smoked a saab turbo on the way to work first time it hasnt misfired on full throttle new plugs rule :D

is it fixable if it has bust?

Just changing my light bulbs and discovered my ns headlights reflector is just flopping around any ideas guys i havent taken it off yet too dark! does it just clip in or is it bonded? i see the back plastic bit is clipped to the glass lens. also i got a headlight loom off ebay sorry i got it before i joined this forum but the ideas the same as the one the guy sells on here i think exactly how much brighter are the lighhts supposed to be mine arent that much brighter but i havent changed the mainbeam buld yet its probably as old as the car!!

Are you gonna do it g-lader? ive been thinking about it i put a post on a couple of days ago to see if people thought it would be tacky nobody replied they obviously dont think so!! :D mine completely de badged i have yet to meet anyone who actually knows what it is 8) so id confuse them even more espesially if i get some porsche rims!

just want an idea of what oil your using guys i normally use synthetic rock oil in my other cars but just wondered what everyone else was up to in their sumps?? and as it its oil change time want to know what best for my beloved c!!

golddust (seller) lovely guy nice motor too! gave me loadsa free bits with the bass box and let me off a fiver do i need this much bass though???

fitted mine took ages double checking every thing i know its a honda bit but the engine start writing lights up so my gf will be able to find it and its got a chrome ring cant beat a chrome ring can ya gorgeous it is!!! mine came with a relay are you fitting a relay with the button you brought? im not electrically minded but mine came with loadsa wires and a relay just wondered why yors blew?

Ok ill try that whats the correct way to fill the system? gotta change the thermo still as wellis access really that bad i did my old g60 years ago cant remember it being that bad a job.

cool iwas about to ask that question which kit did ya get ive got a s2000 button off an ebay guy i got one before they are lovely where are you putting your button in the c?

also is the damper adjustable? need to change the belt when my order finally arrives at VW im looking at the damper scratching me head or am i just being thick??

had any luck jinx?? starting to bug me as i suspect when i change the thermostat it isnt going to work i want to start making my corrado look pretty not messing about with the heater!!!

jut noticed some thing else the pipes that disappear into the bulkhead are both hot i take it one feeds one returns the matrix? they were very hot but still no heat out of the heater havent done the thermostat yet waiting for bits to arrive just keeping an eye on things

Fixed it!!!! it was the little prongs inside the dimmer switch they werent touching the metal surface you can take the switch apart bend them out het presto lights work 2 min job saved me £50 odd quid on a new switch!!!

where can i get those stamped german style plates from they look way cool not sureabout the german D though might be a bit illegal also any suppliers for badges want a saupercharged badge would a kompressor badge be tacky??

will you have any spare coolant hoses for a g60 just joined and missed the boat on these! Bill

is the damper adjustable then? the charger was serviced by jabba 10k miles ago so should be good for a while are there any manuals about for the corrado that dont cost the earth? also the jabba receipt said that the belt was a wider belt is that the smaller belt or the main belt would i have to go to them to get one? Bill

cool i had that in mind too where is the thermostat on a g60 engine same place as a golf ie bottom left at the front of the engine? any extras i need to get when doing the job? that dont come with a thermostat. also how hard is it to change the small charger belt and the larger main charget alternator belt any tips??

the heater doesnt blow hot either it is slightly warmer than on the cold setting but still not really noticable. the fan doesnt run all the tim either. Bill

almost forgot i have another prob with this new g60 the dash lights inc the heater lights dont work at all any ideas the fuses are all fine maybe the dimmer control? cheers for any input into this guys

Hi guys im new just brought a black g60 after a few years off vee dubs missed the s/c roar too much! anyway the car ive just brought is running below 70 deg water temp all the time any ideas? i thought probably the thermostat but just wanted to check. Cheers Bill
