  1. Where abouts are you? Am near stansted airport. Could do with a spare engine. Not got one yet lol. Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk 2
  2. Think I ordered the wrong bit, got a bit of rubber sleeve instead. Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk 2
  3. also might be interested and could collect
  4. Wouldn't mind seeing the condition of the centre console, the bit that headunit, heater control, cig lighter, ash tray etc all fit into also might need a bit of wiring cut off if your scrapping the car
  5. Have you got much of the dash left? I'm quite local so can pop over to have a look at what i need before buying it.
  6. Exactly what i've been going on about. i'm doing quite a lot of work on mine, similar to what your doing and it made me wonder about the "mint" cars and the "rust free" ones. After exploring mine with a chisel and taking off underseal in places that looked fine, i don't believe there are any rust free examples unless they have looked properly. Glad i caught mine now, as it looked rust free until i got the wings off and took the underseal off.
  7. Done all mine with dremel and sandpaper so far, still got rad support to do. How did you get inside the front bumper iron lol, proper awkward. Would you have any tips for re doing the wax inside the sills? The plugs in floor underneath only seem to do the floor Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk 2
  8. Cheers, just been to VW and ordered it, hopefully it the correct bit. Was only about £3
  9. Thats my plan, i went to VW at lunch and it doesn't have a part number. Going to buy the big assorted box as the ones i have at home are older than me :lol:
  10. 1995 VR6 I need the plug that goes onto the sensor and a few inches of wiring. Dunno if anyone has a corrado they could cut one off of. Broke the clip on mine. Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk 2
  11. Nice one, that will be why that always leaks. Thanks Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk 2
  12. Am sure I've seen France mentioned on some other part to do with the corrado. Can't remember where though. Going to buy another one anyway. Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk 2
  13. I was going to renew mine and the manifold ones until vw gave me the price. Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk 2
  14. Just seen the ebay auction for some new VW foam, looks like its going to be expensive. I still need to do mine and been looking around and settled on this stuff from a marine/boat place. http://www.soundcontrolservices.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=28_36&products_id=45 Not too keen on the tinfoil look stuff and thought this looked a bit more factory(ish) I have the templates at home so was thinking of buying some and cutting it to shape. Can anyone see any negatives to using the stuff in link above?
  15. Both came in a vw box with all the other bits, both have same numbers, but blue one says France on it, and other one doesnt, just.worried one could be non genuine. Did order two from vw but they messed up and I only got one. Thought it was a heathly discount until I got home and checked everything. Might just go back and order another for peace of mind.

  16. About to take my front wheel bearings to a garage tomorrow so they can press them into the housings. Just dug them out and notice they look different. The all metal one is the one I bought from vw, other one with the blue I got off the forum. Anyone know why they are different? Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk 2
  17. First time I changed suspension it creaked. Since then I use copper grease on all the parts and no creaking. Alot of it was the top mount bush against the suspension turrent. Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk 2
  18. I just took an old one off and all the paint came with it. Having to repaint it all. Are these covers for sale any where? Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk 2
  19. I can do it later on when I get home. Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk 2
  20. Trying swapping switches over to see if its a switch. Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk 2
  21. Cheers, going to order that
  22. Going to replace the fuel hose on side of engine, car is a VR6 Jay mentioned i need an 8mm internal bore. I will order online and just looking on demontweeks website. http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/performance/fuel-hose Will the "FSE High Pressure Fuel Injection Hose" be ok? Seems quite cheap and non-braided
  23. Easier than the fronts imo. You need to remove the parcel shelf supports to get to the top mounts. I think thats the case. Bottom of strut is just one bolt. Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk 2
  24. Ill have the clutch tool please. Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk 2
