I'll take the leads if you can accept a personal cheque. .

They are given here for coil pack & distributor - check each lead by your chassis number. http://www.vagcat.com/epc/cat/vw/COR/1992/76/57/850739/ All but cylinder No.1 is shown. No.1 should have been listed as 860mm. .

Yeah, a little bit more digging shows that the part is that one. Hadn't noticed on the Passat 3A2 that about 15 months of production has the ATE Teves Mk20 brake set-up. Also see why it can't go on the Corrado. The mounting plate has brake servo stud holes orientated differently as you say. Shame really. .

Someone needs to talk to ATE first about... vvvvv I've only draw a parrallel based on VW part numbers and the ATE website info! (Not me, I've got my NOS spares stored away.) .

You should have been looking in the engine section at this illustration, items 12 & 16. INTAKE SYSTEM - THROTTLE VALVE ADAPTER 2.9ltr. 6 cylinder: ABV .

Thats on the ATE website today. EuroCarParts are their UK agent according to their website. Classic parts on-line catalogue accessible from here... http://www.ate.de/generator/www/com/en/ate/ate/themes/20_catalogues/productinfo_cataloging_en.html Select VW and then work into the brakes section for Golf/Passat. http://www.ate.de/generator/www/com/en/ate/ate/themes/30_ate_classic/ate_classic_en,tabNr=4.html You need to ask ATE De. why its listed for the Golf/Passat VR6 RHD but not the Corrado RHD. All three cars use the same ABS Master Cylinder 358 611 019D. In fitting as I've pointed out, the front brake pipe connection on the Corrado (as Golf/Passat) will have to be replaced to get it to reach the new Master Cylinder front connection. But then we do have resources for that on this forum :D .

Yeah, but a small phone screen is a bit too small for a German traffic cop to look at the scene of the accident. Plus I wouldn't like to stand in the middle of a motorway wandering around trying to take photos. :lol: .

Fixed... almost but I think the rest is the interaction betwen this site being slow to respond at times and IE8 not coping. Cleared cookies & trashed the current browser cache followed by a defrag of the windows system drive. Then restored the IE8 cache new. (W7 - 64 bit Home Premium, IE8 ). -
You drive a German built car? Its home market is the German people? So it drives like a German to the rules of their road... yes?? http://www.gettingaroundgermany.info/regeln.shtml text is near the bottom in the accidents section. .

Or the fact the brake pedal position sensor will be wrong. The original spare part back in 1995 was 358 611 019B. This was ATE 10.6123-680.3. (23.81 x 17/17 - RHD ABS Teves 04 brake system). Fitted right up to the end of RHD production Corrado in June 1995. The current and last spare part available, revised somewhere between 1997 & 2003 is 358 611 019D. This part is ATE 10.6123-0690.3. The part is interchangeable with the "0680.3" earlier version. (23.81 x 17/17 - RHD ABS Teves 04 barke system). Interestingly the RHD VR6 Golf and Passat are using ATE 03.2123-1484.3 Master Cylinder for the brakes today as a spare. Both used previously the same replaceable part - 358 611 019D on the VR6 RHD models Note the forward brake circuit connection is differently positioned slightly (red circle). Same cylinder diameter & stroke of 23.81 x 17/17. [ATTACH=CONFIG]54609[/ATTACH] And before you ask.... The bleed nipple is missing. That is because in the original fit & spare, the forward piston/cylinder was not self bleeding as the brake pipe feed is on the bottom of the cylinder. In the photo above, the take off point is on the top side, so it self bleeds. .

Use - Immobilizer Generation 1 info. This all you can do with Gen.1 & VCDS. (Except the Instruments 17 is not available, so ignore those procedure sections http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/Immobilizer#Immobilizer_Generation_1 The rest is authorised VAG agent only. .

No relays, just the switch contact and the fuses in the wire routing. Only the fog lights involve a single relay. Loom wires at the headlight switch connector - 1990 16v Grey - Dash lights in from Fuse 3 – (10 amps). Grey/blue stripe - to dash lights. Red - Battery 12volts. Brown - Earth (for internal switch illumination only, not outside lights) White/Black stripe - Headlight dip/main beam stalk switch. Then splits to front right dip via fuse 2 (10 amps) & left dip fuse 1 (10 amps) or right beam fuse 12 (10 amps) & left beam fuse 11 (10amps). Grey/Black stripe - goes to fuse 8 (10 amps), then front side light & tail bulb - left side. Grey/Red stripe - goes to fuse 7 (10 amps), then front side light & tail light - right side. Grey/Green stripe – goes to fuse 3 (10 amps) to Grey wire above. Also to number plate lights. Also to relay to switch on 12 volts so fog lights work via fuse 10 (10 amps) and their switches. Black/Yellow stripe – Ignition switch 12 volts switched via the ‘X’ relief relay. This provides 12 volts (ignition switched) for dip and beam head lights. These colours are the headlight loom from the dash lighting switch to the connector at the back of the fuse/relay panel. These wires terminate on the R position Blue connector on the back of the fuse box. Midway along the lower row of connectors, either side is a Blue connector and a White connector. ----------------------------- Headlight Loom wires: Right Side: Grey/Red stripe Front side light Grey Dip beam whiteMain beam [v]Left side[/u]: Grey/Black stripe Front side light Yellow/Black stripe Dip beam White/Black stripeMain beam These wires terminate on the A1 position Yellow connector on the back of the fuse box. Inboard bottom left end – final connector on the lower row. The connector on the row is also Yellow. -------------------- The rest is upto you to find if the looms are still wired correctly or the tampering has resulted in incorrect wiring. If its been working with the new switch, I think you are looking for a dodgy connection in the wiring. .

Ditto what the last 4 posters have said. PMs & Topics affected. Getting worse by the day. Now managed to get pictures as references only dispite showing in the preview. Actual post just gives their reference number. Post number 15 on this topic illustrates. http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?63469-Major-trouble-bleeding-brakes!&p=795717#post795717 -
This is the unit I have. Hand pumped, no air line needed. How prices have gone up since EuroCarParts sold it 14 years ago for £30. It will be in the region of £60 - £75. Known as Brake Fluid Changer CJ236. [ATTACH=CONFIG]54321[/ATTACH] In use on my Sciroccco. Can't remember why I went through the engine bay to the front left caliper that day 12 years ago. It may have just been to get the colour of the fluid against the car body background as thats the next photo in the sequence that day. It hadn't been changed by the previous owners since new (10 years at the time). [ATTACH=CONFIG]54317[/ATTACH] Has a lot of uses. The hand pump doesn’t touch the waste fluid chamber, so it doesn’t matter what is sucked in, brake fluid, gear oil, engine oil. Bit hard to find as the whole kit including the reservoir feed bottle that sits on top of the brake/clutch reservoir these days. The kit seems to be available still through Taiwan if you put in Google “Brake Fluid Changer CJ236” it comes up and can sometimes be found on Ebay. There's a 6 litre version for sale now from Wolverhampton but I can't see the Brake Reservior (blue container above) with it. The Ebayer is selling several in the current auction. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SEALEY-Bra...item3cbd0ab7a9 ---------------------------------- The VW manual (European) makes a distinct remarks about bleeding. But they would not put it in the manual unless it was necessary. plus this warning also appears in VW's manuals.... [ATTACH=CONFIG]54313[/ATTACH] Hence why I use a vacuum method. Yes, VW workshops do use pressure bleeding but their equipment feeds brake fluid with no risk of compressed air. So pressure bleed is OK if done correctly. But with Eazibleed don’t you run the risk of running dry unless care is taken. Eazibleed handbook warning....... Plus Eazibleed recommend a max. working pressure of 20 psi typically which exceeds the workshop manual warning about bleeding/changing brake fluid. So you probably been below the 15psi (1 bar) level, so no need to be concerned, just more cautious in future. Also, during the first brake fluid change I had done at the dealers in 1997, they managed to flood the engine bay with brake fluid in the rear right side and into the fuel pipe body channel on the underside of the floor pan. Presumably the cap connection had come off the brake fluid reservoir and the resulting situation flowed brake fluid out all over the place. Fortunately no real damage to the engine bay paintwork was done as I managed to get the area soaked in water to flash it all away. Call it natural aversion to pressure bleeding. Once bitten, never again! I just avoided the whole issue and at £30 back then in 1998 for a 4ltr vacuum system collection reservoir and 1litre header bottle to top up the reservoir fluid, I am covered not to push/suck air into the system while flushing through one calliper. .

Seems a bit expensive plus you need an air line. Mine is a hand pumped vacuum/drain reservoir in a tower system with a separte feed bottle topping up continuously as the reservoir drains. Unfortunately tonight at the mo, the www USA links for me are not working so I can't locate examples on Ebay to show you. .

UK brakes should be vacuum bled as I've written on here before. VW don't use a pressure bleeder system. They instruct to vacuum bleed. Pumping the master cylinder can lead to over heating of the old seals in the master cylinder and failure. There will be no real warning other than the pedal feels a little jittery as you press it (seal rubbing on the master cylinder wall). Do slowly and give rests every 4th pump action to let the master cylinder seals to cool, about 10 mins rest time. . ---------- Post added at 11:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 PM ---------- Have vacuum bled mine every two years for the last 14 years and the brakes have never given problems afterwards. The other tip is never reverse the caliper pistons inward as back pressure can blown the ABS valve block valves. Always open the caliper bleed nipple to let out the brake fluid if you have to push back the caliper piston. Known more than one owner ABS valve block ruined before now. .

Whats the seat part number including the 3 alpha/digit sequence after the seat part number? *** *** ***n +++ where * is VW's six digit part number, a sub part version letter code and +++ is the 3 alpha/digit sequence. .

In the clinical sense, no because early Corrodo's pre 1992 use an analogue sytem interface and it won't work with 1988 - 1992ish cars. If you intentions is a Corrado post 1992, then yes but note the limitations. Its shareware that you will get, not a licenced copy from Ross-Tech' distributor Gendan. For that it will need to be registered with Ross-Tech at a cost. The one in read are really what you need to use VCDS fully on a Corrado. So shareware will be limited. Some of the common differences between versions and between VCDS-Lite as Fully Registered versus Shareware: [Shareware: Cannot do AutoScan Won't display text for all fault codes No Basic Settings (so no TBA, Xenon levelling, etc or checking timing on TDI's) No Adaptation Saving (so no changing of locking/lights/horn behavior) No Output Tests No tech support from Ross-Tech Limitations of VCDS-Lite compared to VCDS even if Fully Registered: No Generic OBD-II Won't work with CAN-Bus vehicles Fewer fault code definitions and label files No built-in Activation (you'll be limited to a single PC) No Advanced Measuring Blocks No Acceleration Measurement Plus the other limitation for the future is that on more modern VW's post 2002, CAN Bus is not accessible. For this you are buying for just the present. .

Preview Rather than Quantum, these mudflaps are Votex. [ATTACH=CONFIG]54033[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]54037[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]54041[/ATTACH] The front are Passat 97 onwards (front), part no. 3B0 075 111. the rear are Passat Lim. 94 onwards (rear), part no. 3A5 075 101 . Whether they are still around, who knows. Have seen some on Ebay recently in the last 6 months being sold new in the packet. [ATTACH=CONFIG]54045[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]54049[/ATTACH] In addition, to attach the rear mudflaps, a set of four "U" clamps are needed, the type tightened by a small bolt. .

If the ABS block has been allowed to drain, then you will not be able to purge through without a special test harness & control box to open the various valves. The test harness & control box hooks upto the Valve Block's 15 pin front face connector and uses the valve control wires (10 wires). While the system is under pressure, the internal valves are then opened via the Test Control box to purge out the air pockets. The kit is (was?) available in the USA but wasn't VW, iirc it was for Rovers. The VW workshop advises to cap off the hyraulics conections when the Valve Block is disconnected but there is not "tool" to rectify an internal drain/air pocket problem. The Valve Block is replaced as a whole. VCDS & VW Diagnostics VAS system do not have this capability. This because there is no Output Test - 03 option programmed into the Teves 04 - ABS ECU firmware to operate the ABS pump & Valve block valves. (Unlike my Scirocco Mk3 where I can go in and make the ABS pump run & all the ABS/EDL valves operate.) . ---------- Post added at 10:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 AM ---------- I don't think you have got to this situation with the Valve Block. Re-look at the calipers you have fitted. . ---------- Post added at 11:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 AM ---------- Maybe worth taking note of this, particularly the last post.
