cymru-corrado

it does share lots of things agreed as per the original scirocco's, but for a new car that is trying to break out of the current mold of mainstream vw's its poor, working on sales to have our new flash car having the same dash as a jetta ,which dont sell for love nor money is poor the fact the golf is being replaced next yr makes this even worse as it will have previous model equipment and not new stuff. The new passat cc does have the new generation steering wheel's from vw so hopefully that will go on new scirocco, and seat wise with the standard passat to poss be going under a facelift again would mean the scirocco is running again on old model equipment. boot space wise may not be top of list, but a corrado is much more practical in terms of carrying things. Price wise is pretty competitive so will be interesting to see how it goes, vw want around 3500 sales between sept and end of yr and around 6000 next yr.

to be honest apart from the front end the rest just doesnt cut it. a. its a hatchback not a proper coupe b. the dashboard & steering wheel is jetta/golf/eos (a 6yr old design) which is lazy imo c.the rear looks like an astra d. its not using any significant engine at moment. c. boot opening space isnt to clever d. uses passat sport seats, nice, but again lazy also got to drive the new 3.6 v6 300bhp engine in the passat cc, goes well enough but abit of a waste of an engine in that car in particular imo and also wasted with a dsg box as only option. the engine dosent look an different to normal r32 lump under bonnet either.

Went upto new Passat CC launch today and also had a new Scirocco up there piccies....

got a set in my vr and imo look good as they are genuine vag bits intended for that type of pedal just in a different car and look like they are meant to be there because of this, to get snug fit you need lhd set for corrados,

this is rather crap, i know our sales manager wont let that happen at all, and especially during the week as andy just said we can get mystery shopped at any moment and if we dont respond within 3 minutes to a customer walking in your marks get automatically halved and we personally get fined on it. And as others have said just from appearance you cant judge someone, i've sold r32's to people who look like they've just got out of bed but thats because they own there own business and dont have to get up early! and andy our sales manager thinks mystery shoppers are worse than paedophiles just to let you know.lol

mine failed only on emmisions the other day but was because it was tested at belwo norm running temps so just took it for a quick blip before re-test and bingo all MOT'd up for another yr.

alot depends on what dealer you use and what techie ends up with your car, i know of at least 3-4 in my place that would be perfectly at home working on a Rado, kind of pot luck. also labour rates can fluctuate ours is £65+vat, which is still going to be higher than a specialist.

wouldnt bother taking dash out just makes job more teadious and long, it takes about 3hrs to it with dash in, and helps a little if you have a spare pair of hands.

you can always pop round mine and have a look at VLA ;-)

So you keep feckin telling us..... worry about something more important. any need to be so rude?[/quote:a7e54] he does have a point though, does he not? :wink:

tbh they look is very good condition usual reason rado's fail on light its the silver reflective stuff has had its day and the light beam quality is cack, but those look fine and shouldnt be a prob. i'd get it mot'd somewhere decent

plates get used on the road all the time as long as your not driving round like a tool 24/7 then coppers usually dont bother they just think its another foreign car and as the exhaust note is just above oe sound at 2-3k dosent attract unwanted attention when driving around town.

if the item is over age is goes into obselete stock and basically gets written off my dealership and they can sell it on for as much as they want or can get for it. thats why you get alot of genuine unsed vag stuff on ebay where people have bought over age parts from dealers for bugger all and sell it on at profit.

update, now been wound down a touch and also new alloys added, few other minor bits and pieces been added/changed. few piccies....

i'd say around the £2600- 2700 mark as having seen it in the flesh a few times you might get abit more if someone is really keen or vice versa might have a picky bugger that wants to knock it down abit.

yeah Will (aka Slangwerks ) did a top job on it. was a 10hr job to get the paintwork upto scratch but as i work at a VW dealership let Will have full use of workshop so he could have a nice dry place with provisions to do his thing. Wheels have all been ordered up to so should be with me in the next 10days Still looks mint and only had one rinse down since will be having a quick wash in the morn then off to Ultimate Dubs. 8)

platin p16's very similar to rh ad cups, will prob get them again for the vr in 5 stud

now with major detailing overhaul. http://www.edition38.com/forums/index.p ... opic=78673

nothing serious just lotsa minor stuff really the niave youth of today.lol anything minor on a Rado usually takes twice as long as predicted. Eg took me an hour to change battery before due every buggering bolt being buggered and had to take out headlamp etc. Sure there are many more exmaples. But when there out there on the great plains (Britains cack roads) you'll enjoy every min.

not the greatest fan of tt's mostly due to interior space and being a steak of piss makes it abit difficult to get comfy but that is a very nice one you've picked up there and some tasteful work you've done to it so far 8)

sounds very familiar as it first cut out during one evening drive. positive i take it thats the red wire? is it just a case of running it to battery positive terminal or we talking abit more complicated? Regards fag lighter switch whats the score with that also? Sorry my eleccy knowledge is abit limited. Cheers

My headunit has developed abit of a strange power problem. It worked fine when first installed then one day when driving just turned off. Now it will work fine when ignition is on one turn but on 2nd turn to turn dash lights on or start engine it wont do anything and there is no power going to the unit. Checked all fuses which are fine and had a look at wiring which again all seems in order. Anyone any ideas as to what the fault is?

nearly all our approved used VW stock goes on the forecourt without prep work apart from valet and any major scrapes/dents in which case they would be sprayed / new panels put on. Any further work is then carried out with multipoint check and service before handover to customer which comes out of the margin. We are lucky that nearly all of our stock is in very good order before being placed on site but does vary from dealership to dealership depending on there facilities and condition of cars coming in as part ex's.

yeah 16v was sold to lukeowen off here but through ebay intially.
