The volume is stuck on full on my headunit, turning the volume control has no effect. If I push the volume control dial I can access the secondary functions of the dial so the dial isn't completely knackered. Has anyone else had a problem like this? I swear I have no luck with car audio, this is the third head unit I've had in 4 years :x

Thanks for the headsup on the fuse fellas, changed it this evening and lo there was light!

Thanks, I'll have a look at the fuse on the loom, I forgot there was one on there!

Hi, I got a bit of a shock when I was negotiating a dark country lane on saturday night, I clicked my full beams on and was suddenly left in the dark, fortunatley my dipped still work. I was having a bit of a play with the electrics last week, changing the interior lights over from red to green, the only ones I have done are the window switches and the wing mirror adjusters, could something I have done there affect the lights? Sorry I'm pretty clueless when it comes to electrics (should I be messing with the interior lights you ask? Probably not :) ). I also have the upgraded light loom, I did a rudimentary check of the connections behind the headlights and they seem okay at a glance. I was wondering if the main beams are on a separate fuse and if so which one? Any help much appreciated, cheers.

Yay! That's sorted it. Thanks Ollie.

Ahhhh, okay I'll try that later and see if that sorts it. It's bugged me for ages. cheers.

I ordered a new badge from VW last year and the replacement I received isn't the same as the original, it has a large black plastic surround that makes it sit proud of the grill. I'm pretty sure that the original used to sit inside the grill and was flush with the face of it? I can no longer prove this to my local stealer as I threw the old tarnished one away. He reckons that there is only one on etka (that also fits a Passat), I suspect that they stopped make a Rado one and figured that the Passat one "fits". Can anyone confirm this for me, or even provide me with a part number off the original badge? Or am I going mad :cuckoo: Please no comments along the lines of "ditch the badge" or "get a black one", I like the VW logo on the front of my car and I like it in silver, like the good lord VW intended.

Decided today was the day to fix my heated passenger seat, which has never worked since I've owned the car. I was fully prepared to do the full strip down to fix a broken element, however I was robbed of a job when upon unplugging the seat I found that someone had jammed the plug in the wrong way round, I flipped it round and now passengers too can enjoy the feeling of a sizzly bottom :lol: Oh I also fitted my new DDI door sills, mmmmm, shiney.

Sorry, my mistake :oops: I was running on duff information and putting 2 and 2 together to get 5. It must have had a fair amount of work done then to get those kind of figures.

Alpine GTA's were only 165bhp(n/a) or 200bhp turbo from the factory.........the A610's were 250bhp IIRC 3.0 turbo was intoduced in 89/90, 250 bhp. Says in the ad that it's a late model and that's it's good for 300bhp with adjustable boost and 400lb of torque.

250 bhp, (if that's the car off pistonheads I think it's nearer 300) and an engine in the boot, winner! Always loved them, even look good in yellow.

What's wrong with the orginal handles?! Have you got a Corrado? They are some of the flimsiest, plastic pieces of crap I have ever had the misfortune to open a car door with. I always ease the handle open and wonder if it's gonna fail on me, I'm on my 3rd set. Peloquin diff is all very well, but it's useless if you can't get into the car :) Top mod mate, looks sweet.

Spykee you have PM.

Yayyy!!! That was me :D Lost you in the traffic jam, or did you turn off before then, hard to concentrate with my sister yabbering in my ear; "You didn't just flash that red Corrado did you?!" :roll:

Stop it Trigger, you're giving me ideas! Might have to look into the T-shirt thing could look good on black. I've supplied Daves16v with the 2400 res original as he wanted to do a print of it.

Ummmm, on my mates T350, it's just a button under the mirror housing that opens the door, not the mirror itself. Or have I misunderstood?

That's very cool Dinkus 8) Chimo's car does indeed look like Satans ride, I think the bumper gives the car a sort of Skyline-like, road eating prescence.

How come you've seen his car Dinkus? Isn't he based in Canada? I would love to see the bumper on a black car, bet it looks mean as hell.

It's the only other bumper I've seen that would tempt me away from standard. I know what you mean about Basking shark Kev, that middle vent looks like it could swallow small children, which isn't always a bad thing :twisted: There's loads of pics of Anh's car on Dubdesign industries site and on the Canadian corrado club page. I think it's a really beefy looking car, the interior is mint. IceGay is icing on the cake (no pun intended).

I think I like the way it makes the front sit down a little more and in a very unfussy way, the vent lines are nice and clean, bit Audi RS?

I don't usually like bodykits but I have got a thing for the Dubdesigns front bumper :oops: The lights prolly help.

Thanks a lot, it's a nice car but for amazing see the other IceGay VR a few post above, now that's the benchmark car.

Cheers Kev, I'm not too sorry actually, means mine can get 15 minutes of ZW adulation :) Paul, I'mm 99% certain that that site hasn't updated it's product line as I spoke to MM UK and they said they defibnitely won't be making anymore, I think the factory in Italy got retooled to make MX5 wheels?! Wasn't sure the text would be to everyones taste, at least it's on black so easy to get rid of.

Thanks very much Nick, fear not the only plans I have for it are under the bonnet.

I hadn't given it a lot of thought, £150? they've got a few scuffs, but they've all got good tyres. I wasn't gonna advertise them as a set cause I think it'll be very difficult to get a fourth. I just thought they might be useful to people with Cup 3's. Cheers Zippy, liking your C too, Aqua Blue pearl is my 2nd favourite colour :)
