i've just swapped my early grey shell for a late black one and the only bit thats left to do is the air vent surround at the passenger side. I can't find a stubby driver small enough to fit inside, am looking for a small socket set with screw bits. What did you guys do?

VEEDUBBED, So does your boost return eliminate in your airbox?
-
stevemac, So if i fit one of those will i need to change the hoses from the engine to get rid of the valves? How much are they?
-
i'm going to change my heater matrix and will hopefully be avoiding VAG by as big a distance as possible! Where have people found good prices on these? And is the part the same as a golf mk2 part?
-
Has anyone figured out a way to silence the noise of the throttle body dumping boost on a g60 without the return pipe?

Inch Engineering in Bathgate are robbing bstards! stuck up as well highly not recommended - Autowerke in Gorgie road in Edinburgh are supposed to be good.

Henny, i got a mate who works in a sheet metal factory to surface grind a bunch of washers down to different thickness's and tried out different combinations between the stub axle and the axle beam. Got it pretty matched to the other side by eye then back on the laser and its within tolerance! Just a hell of a lot of trail and error but beats a new axle eh?

Double conversation eh walesy! We should really condense...

So you reckon the ideal opening temp would be about 80ish? What cooler did you use?

The mk2 golf ones definitly do work when you swap the resistor pack as i just put a Mk2 GTI one in mine, prob just about as bad condition though being so old.

Just removed my rear wiper and motor and was kind of stuck for a bung to fill the hole that was left inthe tailgate, i noticed the tailgate has two rubber bungs in either bottom corner on the inside and tried one in the tailgate hole. fits perfectly after a good squeeze in and is an original Corrado part! Also got a Seat Cordoba rear window/mirror demister switch which works a treat in the early style dash. Might be handy tips for someone....

What does it do exactly? Need to wait till the funds allow for an fmic, either that or a 20vt!

You need an uprated headlight loom. Look in the for sale section and you will see what i mean.

I'm going to replace the supercharger outlet and boost pipes on my g60 and when i saw the outlet on the muffler box i noticed a three spoked metal thing inside it. Is it possible to get more flow by removing this or is it doing something important?
-
Is it possible to replace an early dash shell with a late one but retain all of the early switches and controls?
-
Mark 3 polos were made on an H plate too i had a black GT on an H reg.
-
Anyone tried fiting a motor from a later car? Mine does the same so i'm going to start looking for a replacement from a later car to slot into the corrado blower.
-
Has anyone on here fitted a random oil cooler to a G60? I want to fit one but am not sure on what type of thermostat to use?
-
does anyone know if late fogs+indicators will go into an early bumper?
-
For anyone in/near central Scotland - MRD audio in Bathgate (near edinburgh) (01506) 630575 for all your ICE needs and they sorted my insane clifford cat 1 and replaced it with a lovely Sigma, can't recommend them enough.

Job done, rear camer back in tolerance!

With regards to the camber problem on 4x4 C's, is it not possible to shim the stub axles out to push the wheel back in line? I did this to correct too much neg camber on my nearside rear wheel.
-
Theres a Passat GT in my local scrap yard with a speedo that goes to 160mph. May be clocks from a C G60? Think i'll go and pick them up tmow.
-
Has anyone got experience of fitting a push button starter to a Corrado? I quite fancy one to replace my cigarette lighter but not sure how much hassle/costis involved.

Thanks for the advice guys, 225s would be far too wide unfortunatly as the 205s catch the arch and they've been cut back (pretty low though). I ended up getting 205/45/16 Federal 595s which fill the wheel a lot more than the 40 profiles. Federals seem to be one of the only tires to accept such a stretch owing to their large rim protectors. Will post photos asap.
