mr.ots

So we know you have a polo Gti, what rado you got?

So two veedubs eh Dubby, a real enthusiast.

I'm sure they do these things just to discourage people from servicing their own cars. More work for them!

I think I would go for either the Golf or Passat. Mk5 golf is meant to be a good handler so that might swing it for me, but the extra space and possibly more comfortable ride in the Passat could be a winner.

If I was doing high mileage I think I would take the Passat.

Edit - Congrats on the job by the way.

Saw a very nice black G60 in Mitcham today K*** EYO

mr.ots - Storms are rare, huh? :lol:

Well seeing two together like that is pretty rare and all possible due to the Corrado Forum! :)

Thanks for the warm welcome.

 

If you all had to give one piece of advice to a new VR6 owner what would it be?

Make sure you have lots of spare cash to fix it when it goes wrong. :lol:

But seriously, keep the revs down until the engine oil warms up..... saves all that wear and tear. Usually keep mine below 4k rpm until it reaches 80 degrees.

Thought you might like to see pic of your car parked next to mine at the south east meet a couple of months ago.

Do you still have the same plates of did mark take them off?

The OE badge is black plastic with red paint/ink on the letters

You seem very knowledgable there Dinkus, like you have one sitting around in a drawer somewhere!! :wink:

Hi JS, I saw your car when mark had it and you have yourself a very nice car there.

Welcome to the forum.

Although I've never removed mine I'm pretty sure it's plastic. Where did you see a metal one?

I'd stick with Aqua, probably the best c colour IMO.

Looking good phil, I like the lighting.

Try checking the connector plugs on the rear of the fuse panel in case a plug has come loose

mr.ots, yeah cheers, I bought one the other day when they were doing the spend £50 and get a ten pound voucher thing...

I'm sure it's going to come in handy now winter is coming. Wish I had a garage to put my c in but the car cover is the next best thing I guess.

Why on earth would you pull those beautiful side strips off?

The Tyvek car cover from halfrauds is very good. It was reduced from £60 to £40 but i'm not sure if that offer is still going.

The medium cover fits the c like glove. It's made from a special material made by Du pont which is breathable and waterproof. The inside is nice and soft too.

Highly recommended

Well the moral of the story is always keep your car clean cause you never know when someone is going to take a pic of it. :)

That's it Luke rub it in while we are all freezing here!!!

So what was the outcome with the unleaded/super unleaded?

Nice c gav, seen you around on the vr6.oc forum, welcome to the-corrado.net

I'm sure you could mention that audi have developed the fuel efficient FSI engine and how much fuel it is going to save them, not to mention how it will reduce the tax for the driver due to lower co2 emmisions. :wink:

I would imagine the clutch friction linings are knackered now, they would probably have absorbed the oil.

Nice c fiona, welcome to the forum

whats the average price storms are going fot at the moment?

There's a classic green one on exchange and mart at the moment up for £6795 but no mileage listed. The prices vary a lot just as with any other vr but you see them going for anything between 6 - 9k depending on condition and mileage.

Update - Storm-nut has just listed his classic green on the forum's cars for sale for 6k.
