  1. would someone kindly let me have the thread that tells you a full list of what needs doing for a full service. Thanks
  2. Thanks Jim, did try and use the search key but too many items came up and wasn't sure how to refine it. I appriciate your help
  3. Hi all, having a service done on my 2.016v. It is has covered 66k. Is there a list of parts that need changing and looking at on this mileage and what is the best oil to put in it. Cheers
  4. Hi all, It's that time of the year where I need a service on my 2.0 16v. Can anyone recommend a garage near Hornchurch Essex? I was going to take to VW to keep up VW history but after reading on here, I don't think thats a good idea! I am happy to get all the serving parts from VW but like someone to do the service who actually cares!!!! Thanks Dal

    Fuel filter

    Hi there, I also have just purchased a fuel filter, it it easy to fit or should I bring in the experts!!!! Cheers retrodal
  6. Cheers Henny - I'll give that a try and let you know how I get on.
  7. Hi there, Just come back from a weekend in Dorset. The corrado started to miss fire at about 80 mph. It only happened about 4 times in the 3 hour journey, and it was as though I had come off the accelerator for a split second. No warning lights came on at all. Any suggestions. It is a 2.0l 16v with 66k and has full VW sericve history. Fuel pump is humming, and not sure that VW change the filter at all. Could it be this?? Cheers guys
  8. What a nightmare. Went to fit my aeroblades and arms at the weekend only to find out that they are polo arms and blades. They are massive!! Gutted! I might put them up forsale soon as they can be used for the back wiper conversion. Just to clariffy, is it lupo gti arms only that fit, since 2002 all vw have the aeroblades but obviously the polo ones don't fit. Can I get any lupo arms that come off a 2002 onwards car. Are there any other vw's that will fit the corrado. My mission for vission in the rain continues!!
  9. Thanks for the advice Randal, how can I check if the linkage is good or bad, or do I just wait until it breaks!!!!
  10. At last, I have managed to get a set of Areo blades and arms. I got them from the VW and Audi Breakers in River Road, Barking, Essex. £20 all in....happy days Just to make sure. Is it right that the arms are slightly different or have I been ripped off!!!!! I know the blades are different but one or the arms has a longer flatter bit at the base.
  11. Cheers mate, I'm not far from there I think.
  12. Anyone know any good breakers in Essex or Kent that get corrado bits, I appriciate that they don't come in on a regular basis like perhaps a fiat uno would!!
  13. Borderair - Have you seen the badge on EBAY at the moment, is your sister in the Bournemouth area?? Just a thought, may well be totally genuine
  14. Looking to get the servicing parts from VW then get my very reliable mechanic mate to do service. Is there any litrature out there that tells you what to service and when ie mileage etc. parts - oil, air, full service, mine is on 62k and full VW history but from all what I've heard so far on this forum I won't be taking mine there. Thanks for your help retrodal
  15. My brother has a 1990 2.0l and it's been great. He has owned it for about 8 years. Nice motorway driving. He is selling it next month as his mrs has just passed her test and won't drive it!! Let me know if your interested. Darren
  16. Thanks, is it not just a case of replacing the dash ones for tweeters then, or is that too easy. I have no idea on this kind of stuff. Didn't really want to change the look of the car Cheers
  17. I'm off home soon and would like your thoughts on speaker upgrades. What size are the dash speakers and what is best to put in them. I'm not interested in bass bins and amps just nice sounding upgrade. Infinity Kappa JBL Focals Sony or Kenwood e.tc Cheers folks
  18. Had my C for 2 months on 63,000 and done 500 miles so about 6k a year.
  19. Thats the one... I asked the seller to send pics of corrado or golf mk3 retrim to have allok what it looks like but nithing yet. Some of the pics on the add look good but others look a bit dodgy!!
  20. Mines a valver too. Black M reg... I'll keep em peeled
  21. Been looking out for corrados since I bought mine in January. I saw my first one today on the bus heading towards the A127 from North Street it was Black (same as mine). I was begining to think I was the only owner of one my area. Now I know why I bought it!!
  22. Hi all, Anyone out there had a retrim by posh-leathers ? they have add on EBAY for total re trim for end of auction price. Just wondered if they've done any Corrados.
  23. Thanks guys - FORD - your have to let me know how you get on.
