  1. Local VW agent told me this has been a problem with the VR6, well, for ever. Something to do with the engine computer not going to 'sleep' when it should! I took his advice and invested £10 on a solar panel. I leave it for 4 weeks at a time now and it starts 1st time, no probs.
  2. My present VR was declared a write off 5 years ago due to a dash fire. Turned out it was the heater blower motor. Just a thought.
  3. Notice everyone seems to be into carpet mats. The original vw rubber mats have been discontinued but the mats for the Mk 2 Golf are the same, so there you go, a piece of info for anybody looking for rubber mats that fit properly!
  4. Thanks for the help. I opened up the remote and presto its marked conlog , which I believe was fitted to corrado's by vw as an accessory pre 95, as they didn't come with a factory fit system. Apparently its not recognised as cat 1 now so looks like I'll have to talk to the insurers again
  5. Just got a corrado vr6, 94 vintage. appears to have a full closure system operated by a single button remote, which works fine. I've only got 1 set of keys and remote and would like to get a spare. The alarm system can be activated/deactivated by using the key in the door, but the immobiliser can only be deactivated it seems by the remote, although there is a short type of key which looks like the kind you used to get on cheapo immobilisers a few years ago. The insurance company are pushing for details and the previous owner is as much in the dark as me, no cert with the paperwork etc. The system has 2 pucka indicator lights built into the dash which looked like vw fit to me but spoken to them and they say not. Any ideas guys?
