Sweet! PM received and replied to :thumbleft::thumbleft:

Holy necro!! I don't suppose you have any rollers left do you? Cheers :)

Sherry Pearl? J1** FAP in Norwich near county hall on Sunday at about 12 12-30ish? I was in my mate's car so didn't wave. Crystal rears - car looked sweet

I got one from ebay yonks ago - the fit was fine - maybe worth dropping a few quid on one. You want a convex one to give a wider field of view. The missus's 'rocco has a flat mirror and it's dreadful.

I'm 41 and owned my rado for 12 years (and 70,000 miles)

Hi buddy - I've not logged on here for a while, so have only just seen this. I'm out in Reepham and have a mostly standard one. Drop me a message and we can meet up, if you still want to!

So yeah - after a 300 mile round trip we now have this lady posing with her new stable-mate. 1992 GT2 1.8 8v on 32/34 Webers. She very clean :smug::smug:

Cool - if you can that would be awesome! Let me know :)

Hi all - I need a replacement gear selector cable part 1H0711265 It's the one that does the forward and backwards movement - the one with the rubber bush on the end. I only really need the cable as I have a Daves16v short shift mech fitted, but why? Meh - it was all going so well until the ***tard thing snapped. Luckily I was only a few miles from home and it got stuck in 2nd. I remember this being an ass of a job too - downpipe/cat off iirc. Sigh -.-

Just take the abs bit out?

All sorted - big thanks to lilfuzzer - cheers buddy :)

OK, I'll order up the moly stuff as it's tried and tested. I should add I removed the old black rubber before fitting the new bit! Cressa, pm me your address and I'll pop a few bits in the post. I'll do a couple of different lengths to ensure you get the right fit and for when you drop one and lose it (ask me why I thought of that possibility lol)

Mine did this the other week. I took the door card off and made sure the connections were all ok. I then rapidly flicked the switch up and down a few times, and it then started working again. Good luck :)

Oil change done (with a ramp - bliss!!!) and fixed my none-sliding roof! See my post in Exterior for details

Well the other day I got the dreaded tilt but won't slide issue with my sunroof. After doing a bit of research and head scratching I found an easy fix. Part of the mechanism consists of a small wheel that sits in a slot in the runners. There is a little rubber that sits on the end, and it would appear that over time, this loses its thickness, so when that part is pushed back, instead of the wheel riding up and over the groove, it pushed downwards, and stops the mechanism from moving back. Research would show that this usually happens on the passenger side, and was the case for me. One way to fix it, I guess, would be to find a rubber oring that is thick enough to make the resting position of the wheel a tiny bit higher. I didn't have any o-rings, but I did have some od 4.8,, id 3.0mm plastic pipe that is the perfect size to fit on the metal part and lift it up enough that it works every time. Tilt your sun roof, then gently tap back the fabric cover, lower it and push it back out of the way. Now - CAREFULLY try sliding your mech back. See if the wheel digs in. Now try a fingernail under the rear of the wheel and try again. It should lift up correctly this time. I took off the rubber bit, and cut a short piece of my plastic tubing, slipped it on and it works like a charm. Slide back the fabric cover and gently press back into place. Pics below - any questions, just ask. The piece I cut was about 5mm or so long. I do have about 1.5 meters of the pipe left, so if people need some I'm happy to post these out (just cover postage). Now - a grease question. I have some Klüber Klübersynth UH1 64-2403 silicone based grease specs: DIN EN 377 Class D DIN-DVGW-Reg.-No. NG-5162BN0547 NSF H1-registred Full data sheet here http://roghankar.com/new/statics/upload/attachments/product_731_Kluebersynth_UH1_64_2403.pdf Any good for the sunroof, or should I just buy this from the bay I can get the Klübersynth foc Many thanks Driver's side showing the little rubber end [ATTACH=CONFIG]88409[/ATTACH] Passenger side with modification [ATTACH=CONFIG]88412[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]88415[/ATTACH]

Nah, I don't think it's that, as the pump makes noise noise what so ever, and the locks still work with a syringe. Anyone nearish me with a known working pump I can try to eliminate a faulty pump?

Hi - I'm after the passenger side seat tilt release knob from a 94 vr part no 867 881 633. Anyone got a non-broken one? Many thanks!

A mini meet sounds like a good idea, I'm deffo up for that :thumbleft:

Anyone? As a short term fix I've connected a syringe to the vac lines in the boot so I can at least lock and unlock the cabin. A huge thanks to the Corrado Facebook page for coming up with that idea as a short term fix :thumbleft:

Guess it's getting quieter round here. 54 views and no comments :scratch::?::shrug::( Well I'M happy (locking not withstanding lol)

Nice to see things are progressing for you matey - these things are a pita. I've just got mine back on the road after an 18 month break - picked her up from the MOT test place after doing a load of brake work and emission stuff and she sailed through with no advisories. Drives beautifully, yadda yadaa, get home, plip the plipper and the central locking decides to crap out on me lol! The very best of luck with your restoration :)

Hi all - I've been absent for a short while, but I collected my car this morning with a fresh MOT test and tax. Hurrah! I'd forgotten just how nice they are to drive. Passed with no advisories, but had some brake work done before she went in for her test. She did fail on emissions before she was taken off the road 18 months ago, but a new set of plugs and leads, and she sailed through this time. So yeah - car back on the road! GG!! Except that the central locking has decide to literally just stop working, and seeing as I have Passat de-locked handles, I can't lock the car :/ I have put up a thread in ice and secure, any pointers gratefully received. Laters :)

Hi all. I've been absent for a short while, but the old girl is back on the road - yay! Problem - the remote central locking has stopped working. The alarm winds the windows up/closes the sunroof, but the central locking refuses to do anything. The handles are Passat rears, and were swapped out about 6 maybe 7 years ago. It was working ok the other day, now nothing. Any ideas? I am concerned as I am unable to lock the car at present. All help gratefully received :)

Cheers for the replies - I'll be buying new, probably the one seanl82 linked to :) My 94 VR :)

As per title, I need a brake bias valve as mine is shagged. The part no from VagCat/Partsbase is 1H0612151 C - the one I've taken off is the same, but suffixed with E instead of C. Is there any difference, or can I buy one with any letter suffix? Many thanks :)
