    Think there all gone now, was posted up about the last few being for sale not so long ago

     

    I contemplated buying one but decided not to and in usual corrado style the one on the wife's corrado has now popped off and won't stay on!

     

    I have ordered a repair clip off ebay that apparently holds it on for few quid will see how it goes, after ordering this I also found somewhere that supplys the rubber Bush's for a few quid incase anyone else is in the same boat as me

    hi. Do you have the link for the repair clip and new bush? These should be plastic and not rubber though.

     

    As as a temp solution I popped it back on and used a heat hub to slightly melt the bush around the ball joint. Holding well so far.

    Are you planning on tidying up the beam before refitting it? If so you might like to remove the brackets that the beam secures to, to give them a tidy, 3 bolts each side for the brackets. One big nut and bolt that secures the beam to the brackets. Another thing to note is that the bias valve will likely have to come off as is obstructs the big bolt from sliding out that side, (unless the bolt is fitted round the wrong way).

    You'll also need the bolts that go through the bottom of the shocks into the beam, one each side and hope the captive nut stays in place(not a big deal if not but makes the removal of the bolt awkward(you can see the nut at the rear of the beam in the holes).

     

     

    That is it I guess if you are leaving the brakes alone, but best prepare for any of the brake fittings being difficult to remove

     

    No plans for tidying things up on that front.

     

    Already done brake re-furb, bearings, new suspension and break-lines, BIAS valve so really only doing axle bushes on this occasion.

    Hi everyone,

     

    Replacing rear axel bushes shortly with powerflex ones.

     

    My question is what other parts am I likely to need to do the bolts?

     

    Brake BIAS valve is in good shape so no issue there, what other bots etc... should I order up to complete the job?

     

    Rear axel has never been dropped FYI.

     

    thnx

    Due to a crazy year ahead (house / job and baby) I will realistically be unable to dedicate as much time to The VR6 Owners Club (www.vr6oc.com) in 2017, and also some of our team will be retiring from the VW scene.

     

    With a massive reach on social media (around 30,000 + on facebook) and a member base of 15,000 members we are still very much growing, with the recent launch of iOS and Android apps to allow members to access the community on the move in a format that is almost second nature to us in this day and age!

     

    It is time for a change and fresh ideas from a new generation.

     

    I will still be involved in the form of a webmaster taking care and developing the website / features and mobile platform applications but will be taking a step back from other activities during 2017 and possibly beyond from events, and day to day running of the club.

     

    Essentially looking to forming a new team with a modern approach for a modern club.

     

    I am looking to fill positions for the following;

     

    Club Chairman Event Organisers

    Shop Manager

    Social Media Managers

    Forum / Website Admins

    Website Content Creators

     

    I am really looking for people who can hit the ground running and have had prior experience running clubs in the past. you must have the time to dedicate to this active and large club and be regularly attend events - other positions are available that do not require this experience though.

     

    Preferably people who are interested should be computer literate and be comfortable with moderating a forum, posting content on a content management system, promotion of website via social media etc...

     

    If anyone has any questions, or is genuinely interested then please feel free to reply below :cheers:

     

    Cheers everyone :)

    I've got a very saggy headlining in my twilight VR, which is stuck in the garage feeling sorry for itself.Happy to get some of the material to you if you want it :)

     

    Yeah that would be great mate - Id prefer to down this route and give it a go before having to go through the haste of doing the whole head-lining!

     

    I will measure up my new sunroof panel and let you know how much I will need !

     

    cheers

    As above, I have acquired a mk3 inner sunroof panel to go with my moon roof conversion.

     

    material on mk3 panel is different from standard corrado panel.

     

    What are my options? What material can I use so it matches? My thoughts were removing material off an existing headlining and having it re-trimmed - thoughts or can I get the exact same material somewhere?

     

    Cheers

    VR6OC will be @ GTI Festival again this year, for one of the final shows of the season, As usual we get a prime spot near the finish line next to the drag strip so right amongst the action!

    Our display area will also double up as a pit area for the racers and we will have the knowledge and expertise of the VWDRC on hand with many of their racers taking part on the day to help any member get to grips with RWYB and Drag Racing.

     

    We already have lots of interest in the both RWYB and the Club Display so promises to be a cracking day!

     

    RWYB Introduction:

    I understand that there is a Corrado meet taking place the same day, but should you own a VR6 and wishing to take their day further are welcome to join the VR6 Owners Club Club display / RWYB and for those wishing to run RWYB have knowledge on hand.

     

    We will also be brining the club gazebo should anyone require shelter whilst performing and prep / repair work on the day.

    Reason is I've just got a mk3 cassette and a Passat b4 glass and was just freshening it up but the price of the seal is double that I've paid

     

    Assume I can replace at a later date without removing the roof lining again ?
