Got a complete vr lump which is apparently a 2.9 and has a couple fruity bits, was in a mk3 golf, on the obd2 coil pack type, got the whole lump, loom, gearbox, subframe, brakes etc. And a friends trying to tempt me with his broken m reg 2.0l 16v corrado for the s4, thinking I could do something usefull with it. Guess I'd need a Corrado Vr subframe, arms, hubs, possibly rear axle? Assume the mk3 vr one is no good? Main issue though is the wiring...

Changed the clocks and its the same, everything works except the speedo. We seem to be getting the signal at the back of the clocks as well. Anyone got any ideas?

Had a quick look, put it on axle stands and drove, the senders sending its signal, we found the wire on the block at the back of the clocks and getting the same reading there as from the sender. So really the speedo unit itself needs to be replaced?

Have a 1995 2.0l 16v, speedo doesnt work. We've changed the sender, made sure the wiring was plugged in. How common is it for a speedo unit itself to fail? The rev counter, fuel/temp guage etc works fine. Anyone got any ideas?

Yeh, my old one wernt toooo bad though. Given it a full service, and its alot happier and more responsive. Speedo though... Realised its not on an electric sender (was thinking of when I had corrado dials in my old polo, was the later ones with the digital mileage reading) So hows it work on the early ones? Is it a cable? If thats broken, why does the speedo still work?

Do they exsist for the rado?

Now I'm half putting it down to driving a G40 the last few months, and my old 16v had 195 45 15s instead of the 215 40 17s on there now. But it feels so unbelievably gutless, and hesitant! Gonna give it new plugs, leads, rotor, cap, oil n filter, air filter tomorrow, just wondering if theres anything I could do/check while I'm down there. The brakes need a bleed, clutch runs off the same fluid iirc? Would make sense as to why thats a bit iffy as well Also, the speedo works fine, but the milometer isnt going up! I'm used to old school cables. :lol: But the speed pickup obviously works, so what the milometer pickup from? Cheers

Kin hell, I should of polished that car when I had it!!! Looks damn smart, nice one Alex.

The cap will undo itself to let some pressure out when it over heats...

Specs: 30-120mm lowering range CNC Wound SAE 925 high quality springs Zinc coated against corrosion Full 2 year warranty, with full TUV approval. Ive got a set on my corrado, and I have to admit I was very suprised with the ride and general handling of them. The ride isnt too harsh or stiff, and Ive got the front of mine on near enough the lowest setting. I think alot of people who have these can/will day the same. Have a look on clubpolo for reviews. What coilovers did you crack a rim on? They must of been obsenely stiff. What other specs would you like to know? Spring ratings etc?

Cheers, I was debating lowering the back more, but think I'm going to leave it as is...

These seem pretty much the same as the Evo/Jamex etc coilovers you see about, but without the stickers. Ive put a set on my corrado, they go pretty low.... The fronts are a few mm from the bottom, the rears had loads of thread left. You can always remove the assistor if you want it properly on the floor. They ride nice and firm, but not too stiff. £230, postage is £10, and will take 2-4 days.

Got some new 45 profiles on the back, and drove to holland. Some pics of it in europe...

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Cheers. Heres another pic...

Cheers, tis a nice colour, I should give it a good polish really.
