thanks v much for the prompt reply :) can go tint my spare lights for my sisters raddo then. cheers

anyone know if the mk 1 & mk 2 corrados have the same rear light clusters? some other bits had small modifications but not sure if lights were the same. cheers

cant remember & dont have corrado anymore to have a look for you BUT be careful as they can be delicate & VW will charge a fortune for the new unit. you could buy a second hand one from a breakers from a corrado or a passat but u have to make sure u get a good one or u will just have same problems.

that sounds about right to me. i just had to replace one of mine as it had a kink in it & was real stiff. worked perfect after that.

anyone seeking a new Bowden cable for their heater direction controls??? i have a new one sitting in my garage that i never got round to fitting & i have now sold my corrado & forgot to give it to the new owner. will put it in the "parts for sale" forum. £10 posted thanks

ah great! my heater only works on setting 4 too.

ITS ALIIIVE!!!!!!!!!!! Damn mechanic put the new dizzy on wrong so timing was all to pot. sorted now tho. woo hoo

still not running properly. mechanic thot there was something wrong with the exhaust that is choking the engine & hence losing power. another suggestion i got was that the CAT has been removed to make way for a straight thru s/s system & it just doesnt like it. has been known that performance exhausts & air filters can cause a drop in power OR even NO power in some cars. Anyone else removed their CATYLITIC CONVERTOR???

2litre 16v

my corrado died last friday, was driving to work & started losing power in 4th gear so tried 3rd & second then it just cut out all together. AA man came to the rescue & said the distributer was f***ed so he towed me to a garage. My mechanic has replaced the dizzy & it was running fine til he took it for a spin. He's saying theres no power then a rush of power comes then theres no power etc etc........ any ideas fowks??

asked the VW guys what it could be & they said if its leaking up the outside of the shaft then its a seal that costs about £7 but if its goin up the inside of the shaft & into the cap then its a case of replacing the whole distributor for about £94 + someones time to do it (dont fancy tackling that myself). cheers guys

gettin a bit confused now. :? so what is it then? a seal within the distributer cap? OR a seal between the engine & D-cap?

ok. thanks for you help

havent really noticed. only had it a couple of weeks & b4 that i had a 306 diesel so compared to that anythings got plenty of power :) took my mate out for a spin last sunday & it had plenty of power with no flat spots then.

oh, you must have just posted that one b4 i replied. :) is that the most likely cause of the problem then? thanks
