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
-
can that be replaced or fixed? big job?
-
My corrado's in the garage at the moment getting the camber sorted & a new oil pressure sensor that was also leaking oil. mechanic now saying that there is oil leaking out of the distributer cap. what if anything can be done about this? anyone?
-
why just have to change rear discs? hubs attached or something? wny idea how much all that would cost?
-
sorry for bein thick but how do u go about fitting 5 stud TT alloys to a 4 stud corrado?
-
i have thought about going for heated seats when i get leather for mine. so keep us posted on how u get on. thanks
-
can anyone help with this? will a rear bumper from an early model corrado fit the later models? thanks
-
WOO HOO! shes off! for any of those who are interested (not that any of u would put a bloody towbar on ur corrado) there were 2 other bolts hiding above the exhaust back box holding the towbar on. so glad my mechanic found those, thot i was going to have to live with the towbar. :)
-
JOB DONE!! got a new cable from VW £9.04, the controls were still in good working order so no need to replace them. Absolute c**t o a job to replace that cable tho, was lying upside down under the dash with my head against the pedals tryin to get the old cable out, not much room to manouver. 1 sore back & many sore fingers later & my vent control was fixed, only took about 20 mins. cheers
-
have tried putting a rope round a bollard & the towbar & it didnt budge. the sides seem to be free enough in those plastic locating clips. im stumped, dont know what else to try. vw mechanic said there might be another bolt either side holding the towbar on but theres none visible.
-
yes i know f**kin "tow bar" thats why im tryin to get the bumper off to dispose of the towbar as far as i can see the bumper is not attached to the towbar & i rekon the bumper would have been put on after some idiot fitted a towbar.
