Forty

I have a similar problem with mine, but it goes away after the first mile or so, once the gearbox/gearbox oil has warmed up. It does it in any gear, and goes awy with the clutch pressed down. This suggests that the main shaft bearings may be the problem, if it is a problem and not just a characteristic of a cold gearbox thats been sitting outside in near freezing temperatures overnight. Anyhow, i'm going to ignore mine unless it gets noticeably worse.

Hi Nathan, I'm not sure what you was thinking when you decided to sell your Corrado, but you must be regretting it now! This car is great, i love it! I'm getting used to the brakes now, just using more engine braking which helps to keep the car balanced anyway. I may change the springs to the H&R's as you suggested. I have to go down an old cobbled road into work and i'm worried that it will shake the car to bits (although it'll probably shake me to bits before the car, as i was made in England rather than Germany!) By the way, do you know which setting you had the dampers set at? I wondered if softening them up a bit would help. Anyway, i'm still really enjoying the car. Its one of those cars that make you take the long route from a to b, and transform your miserable "i've just lost my legs to herpes" mood to "I've just shagged Kylie and she loved it" mood! Strange analogy but i'm sure you know what i mean.

Thanks for the replys, a helpful forum like this is just what us corrado virgins need. It does have over 150k on the clock but Nathan said that nearly 60k of that was from wheelspinning and burn outs in McDonalds car park, so it doesn't really count! :wink: I was probably being a bit harsh about the brakes, i'll just have to see if i get used to them.

Hi everyone, This is my first post on this forum, i've only had my corrado a few days and thought i'd spread the word on how impressed i am. I bought my car from a regular on here (jedi_knight83) who'd done a great job of sorting out his c, and luckily i've reaped all of the benefits. I've owned a number of quick cars over the years, from rs turbos to impreza turbos, including a much missed P1(poxy mortgage!) and i can honestly say that after taking the vr6 for a good run through the lanes and nice A roads, its one of the most enjoyable and rewarding cars i've had. I honestly think that it matches the P1 for fun in the twisties. Maybe not as quick, but thats not what its all about is it! Considering this car is 10 years old and has 94k on the clock (2 things that i was apprehensive about), it drives and feels superb. It has Koni adjustables all round, which highlight the poor state of our roads in essex and also shows up a few rattles in the car, maybe i'll soften it up at a later date,we'll see. I'm also having trouble getting used to the poor brakes (relative to the cars performance), especially after the P1's AP 6 pots. I wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction for a decent upgrade, although i don't really fancy having to put big aftermarket alloys on to accomodate them(i know i'm from essex but i don't wear a baseball cap, know what i mean geeze!) Overall, i'm well happy with the car, its far more than i'd hoped for. Now i've just got to make the effort to keep it in its tip top condition. Anyway, i don't 'arf go on when i've had a few drinks, but i think i've made my point. I'm one happy VR6 owner! Please get back to us if you've got any ideas on the brakes. Cheers, Steve
