94 VR is a late box configuration. .

Passat (petrol) May 1988 to 1991 covers the 9A in the old style "good" of the manuals. Out of print now. No. 1647 Printed 1991. Don't confuse with the later one. Good one cos the Corrado is Passat chassis based. .

Been waiting patiently Alex. Kip is picking my full set up. Firm order at £250. I'm not picking over bones. .

K300 are half a mile down the road from me. They don't keep stock on the shelf. They order from Goodrdge on receipt of order for the Corrado. Mine took 2 weeks despite calling in. They appear OK as a business. .

I thought Corrado's came fitted with the dual contact switches. iirc both contacts on the driver's door are already in use. Certainly on the later VR6's. The trick is to put a diade in the circuit to stop the buzzer warning circuit "seeing" the passenger / boot open. ie. it only works when the driver's door is opened with the lights left on. .

I've been using these for years as a sidelight replacement. Bright as dipped beam being on and illuminating the whole headlamp brightly. [ATTACH=CONFIG]45546[/ATTACH] .

Looks like the glove box lamp unit not the boot. Part number is slightly wrong though... 171 947 311 is correct, maybe 171 946 331 is a typo. .

Sensors & rotors should throw faults, so will be surprised if anything is found. I suspect the ABS unit itself is misbehaving. Particularly if the ABS is working. I would also check the wires. The lamp is illuminated by the ABS unit by the earth side being made. Follow as best you can the yellow with red stripe wire back from the dash lamp unit to the ABS unit. It goes to the fuse box initially on plug X. Comes out on plug W as a grey with black stripe and goe to the onto a in line joint in the ABS loom to the ABS controller. The joining is onto another grey with black stripe which is on pin 52 on the ABS controller connector. This wire also goes to one of the ABS relays up behind the glove box. If any part of the wiring has rubbed and is grounded, it will bring on the ABS dash warning lamp. Fuse box connector W is a 6 pin Green plug, X is a 8 pin green connector. Top corner of the fuse relay plate near the bonnet pull handle. .

2. The illustrations suggest the pipe is a push fit (no torque setting is specified is a clue) with a rubber O ring round it to seal. Its secured in by the bolt attachment near the top of the pipe (bolt torque 10Nm). If it doesn't budge, try boiling water around the base to expand the block's hole locally. .

Coilpacks were fitted from 50PK010001 chassis - Mid April 1993. .

I've just looked back at my old Scirocco and Corrado photos. The colours of the calipers when new wasn't yellow. The colour of the calipers on page 3 are what I had when new. I've only ever seen "yellow" on none Scirocco / Corrado calipers made as spares and they iirc were for vans/transporter type vehicles. .

Cough!.... Early Type 3 Fastback pre 1970 before the facelift. .

Not quite............... It was a final production order of 1300 Corrados placed by VW(UK) with the factory. The order was part of overall orders for both RH Drive & LH Drive during a period from Dec'94 to June '95. First Storm is Chassis 002436 as far as I know. Then random standard model production with RHDrive and LHDrive models. The ratio was 2 Corrado's were RH Drive (including the Storms) and 1 LH Drive for every 3 Corrados that passed down the line while Storms were being assembled. Last Storm which was publically sold is Chassis 003592 as far as I know. Mystic Blue The very last Storm sits way out at the end of Corrado production by special request of VW(UK) for it to be the last Corrado made and delivered to VW from the Karmann factory. This was chassis 004043. Now in the Wolfsburg Museum collection. (Classic Green) The last Corrado was 004044. It was the very last to be made and never delivered to VW. It was placed in the Karmann Collection at Osnabruck. (Classic Green/Light Beige Leather - LH Drive). There are 8 RH Drive Classic Green VR6 with Light Beige Leather non-storm Corrados produced within the Storm production window, 002436 - 003592. Three Classic Green/Light Beige Leather have been "forged" into Storms, one by a dealer. The Storm's left Karmann as ordinary high spec. VR6's. So Karmann never produced them as Storms as a model campaign build. It was a VW (UK) marketing ploy just as with the Scirocco Storms in the UK previously. A clever one considering the debate still continues today, some 16 years later! The Storm badges were fitted at the dealers, hence why the rear badge is never in the same place on the rear panel. .

Sub-frame "wanted" on Monday gave the game away. :) .

Can't see any where if fixed but for info got it after completing one accepted posting "quick" posting. 2nd (go advanced), 3rd (go advanced), 4th posts (quick) all produed the message with no added posting to the topic - http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?54112-vr6-fusebox. The ones that failed had a link to another forum post. This was the reference I incorporated Link And this the 5th posting attempt that has worked differnt topic here. Which has worked with the same link! . ETA: The 2nd, 3rd & 4th posts have finally apeared today 24/02/11

Here's a couple of useful photos of an unmolested factory standard Link .

Have you bought by any chance John A's Blue Storm?????? .

Sometimes the grease becomes too dirty on the horn contact ring and contact finger with VW's. Take the steering wheel off and clean the grease off. Clean the metal contact ring and finger contact with Scotch Brite or similar. Reapply some vaseline not bearing grease. .

Deep inside this thread on page 2, 2nd & 4th posts is hidden this. Note the fuse holder position.http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/download/file.php?id=22601&sid=f1ce2755ae86cd41b9a3b89efdd89983&mode=viewBut If you are going to worrying about this, then start worrying about all the unprotected looms prior to the fuse box. The fuses protect control units, etc., not the looms.

Sprapyard & grab a handfull..

Just let the wiring melt instead!.

a) When you say checked the switches, did you take them out and check the wires were still attached to the back? The wires behind only need to ground/earth to make the light come on.b) Or the wire (brown with white stripe) may have chaffed on the inner wing where the loomm passes through a bodywork hole. So bare wire is touching the bodywork.Permanent without flickering suggests looking up behind the fuse/relay panel on the driver's side and similar on the passenger side to see if it has chaffed as in b) Routing after that generally is OK for rubbing, so check the roof light unit and its switch..

Is there a separate dealer's sales brochure in the showroom brochure rack? Or is it covered in the general Polo sales brochure. .
