dark coloured raddo VR, (L54* ***) at the metro centre in Gateshead. Really nice colour sort of dark burgundy ish

Fitted my new abs sensor, only for the abs light to come on past 15mph as expected. So went to VW to get 2x abs rotors only to be told I may need some 'covers' as well? Decided that these covers are tosh (ready to be wrong :lol:) so got my new rotors, got in the car to head to work and the abs light didn’t come one once all the way to work! Crazy rados!! Also fitted my key blade into a VW flick key, just need to either recode my alarm to accept the new key fob or ‘squeeze’ my existing fob circuit bored into the flick key. As seen here: Flick key

Does any one know how to add another fob to a laserline alarm? I’m not 100% sure what model it is, but can check. I have just got a ‘flick key’, which I have fitted my Corrado key to. I would be fantastic if I could operate the alarm with the key also. Any help or manuals etc would be great. cheers :)

better off with some clear smokes, like a few others on hear. Look tops on a dark car IMO

yeah not sure about that. If anything you want thicker ARBs..

Thanks for the info rw1. Don’t think I have an inner bearing seal either, but then again I have never seen such a seal on any of the dubs I have had (and that’s a few lol) Once new sensor arrives (to replace the one I destroyed) I will be taking disks off again and getting said rotors.. Cheers

How annoying is it when the previous owner has done stuff like this! : shakes fist: I can see him now, "what does this do? Oh well wheel is back on now" Anyway thanks for the help guys - guess I will just have to get new cages! At least they sound cheap.

Hmm, don’t think I have such a thing. I replaced the wheel bearing the other day and no such thing was present. I take it that number 10 on the diagram is the rubber seal and 24 are the larger bearing and race. What is 25? Oh dear oh dear this may explain my abs problem, I have had the light come on over 15mph since I got the car! Thanks for the help thus far chaps!

Seems I don’t have these rotors on the back, the thing is I can't see how they would fit as the abs sensor sits very close to the disk. Are they very thin, I mean very? Oh well back to VW to get them tomorrow i guess. I'm sick of taking the rear wheels/discs off :evil:

I have just plain disks on the back of my Corrado!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just a quick one. Should the rear discs on an abs Corrado have the same cage/round thing with holes in it as the front? (I’m talking about the things behind the disc on the front that works with the abs sensor :roll: )

happened in my polo (or golf lol) turned out to be a faulty switch! Could always get a new one from a mk3 polo as i think they are the same as the early raddos...

what are those seats from?? cool C... rear lights look good with the black..

Needs checking to be its best. You may find that the camber is within tolerance but it may need adjusting with the adjustable camber nut from VW.

I have read that I would be able to use my 16v callipers and a set of mk3 8v carriers with 280mm discs? What you guys think??

That easy ah? Well thansk for the help guys , just waht i needed to know. :)

What would be needed to upgrade my Corrado front brakes from 256 to 280mm? its a 2l 16v. cheers

nothing yet, but i am off to leeds on sunday so keep an eye out :lol:

I read a thread about some on using mk4 callipers and having to shorten the throw of the peddle buy adjusting where it connects to the semester cylinder. Worth a look!??

yeah just saw the NE meet post, should be going if its on next Sunday. My mk1 isn’t on the road yet, waiting for its re-spray late summer. just going standard but smooth. cant wait!

yep know the feeling! BUt my mk1 project and rado will do for now. Hey you local lads should come along to the Club GTI meet over whitly bay. Brier dean pub every last sunday of teh month.....Or we should get a north east corrado meet going??

Yeah I have had 3 roccos, white gt2, strom and a 1.6gl. Love em. Im just on durham road. So maybe it is your car i have seen.. Did your gt have a white sun strip?

Hello purpley-corrado-dude, you dont happen to live near durham road and drive a VR? I live near by and have seen said raddo parked...

I agree with this, same on my mk1.

I always take off by how much I lower. Probs wont notice to much on the front as Supercharged said.
