the official everything-goes-wrong-with-my-rado day
selbekk replied to selbekk's topic in Engine Bay
Walesy, I think you're right... it was just the top of the ice berg :) -
swinging to the left? You lost me :)

I got some nice black ones with red seams and corrado-logo. I like them, but I don't know what black clips you are talking about, dub envy, I just got two holes in it. I don't know if it's OEM, but they sure look nice. What is Justmatz? They got a web page? one love

Ok, I have no idea where to put this post, because this one covers pretty much every aspect: interior, drivetrain, exterior and God knows what. Exterior: My lights barely work. They have been bad before, but today, they looked ok from the outside, but I couldn't see shit in the dark. When I click the full beam handle, and hold it all the way in, two things happen: For one, my head lights (normal beam), become twice as strong, and, as you would expect, the full beam goes on. When I release the handle, both the full beam and the normal beam dims. Even the blue led in the instrument cluster dims a bit. What can this be about? Drivetrain: This only happened once, but when I was going to put it in reverse, I put the gear stick in position, but it was still in neutral. When I tried to put it in reverse again, it worked alright. Interior: My driver side window is now stuck at fully open. I thought it was alright, cuz I've used it a couple of times since it happened last, but I guess not. ICE: My freaking stereo is a pain in the ass, with alternator feedback. AARGH! I am so mad at my rado right now. let me hit something!

great article, although I haven't had the problem yet ) Perhaps fit for the *drums* knowledge base!
-
in my opinion: anything but the originals and porker cup mirrors look shit on rados. If you DO want to fit aftermarket mirrors (I assume you mean you'll fit them to the black plastic panel, and not the original position), you'll have to fill the hole after the old ones, route the wiring up a notch, and get a couple of mirrors with special backplates, so they'll fit. But again, I would keep my old mirrors, or fit nice porker cup mirrors. I want cup mirrors.

don't you just love vag dealers? my locals are really a couple of ignorant bitches, I tell you that right now. So what you need is lupo wiper blades and lupo wiper arms?
-
mine still looks fresh as hell, but I didn't fit them, so I don't know whether it has extra sealant or not. Great looks, makes the car look a lot better imo. It DOES do a lot to your car, more than I would imagine, anyways :)
-
looks good man, although I like the top-of-the-back-window placement better. Personal taste tho, and that doesn't look bad either :) Nice rims :)
-
I'd guess you've blown something... have you taken the gauges out to look at em? check all fuses twice.
-
I like the chrome on mine suits my car and color anyways :)
-
these cars are crazy, I tell you that right now. I feel kinda proud of owning a predecessor (uh...) :D Cant you tell how alike they are? The veyron has an electronic spoiler, the corrado has an electronic spoiler. The veyron is a two door coupe, the corrado is a two door coupe. The corrado had pretty square headlights, and so does the veyron! We own the pre-production model of the veyron, I tell you. Besides, I bet it has the same climate control and switches, being owned by VAG now.
-
GSF had some of them also. And I know Awesome GTI have a couple of g60 / vr badges also.
-
I wonder how long it'll take before someone makes the "optical upgrade" white side markers for it. A bargain at only £800 a pair! And when will the eyebrows come? I gotta photochop this one into a real stunner sometime :D
-
Walesy, no, the article. we barely have electricity over here, and bbc is just a myth. Nah, actually we got bbc prime and bbc world, but I must've missed it. Does anyone have it on their computer or know a nerd that has?
-
does anyone have it? I wanna see
-
I want red car with carbon fibre hood :cry: mommy! Oh, and those yellow bulbs really looks bad in my opinion. But, every guy to his rado I guess :)
-
It is a turn switch on your left side. It's kinda square, and you can't miss it. Twist the adjuster 90 degrees towards the side that is marked with D (for driver?) or L (for left) or whatever, it'll only turn one way anyways, no that's a no-brainer. Now you can adjust the near side mirror and avoid taking out bicycles with your door everytime you open it.
-
Well right now both windows operate from everywhere, but the driver side window has always been really slow, and now recently it hasn't worked at all for short periods of time. The switches light up, but I'll have a look at them anyways.
-
would it help to upgrade the loom if I fit in.pro headlights?
-
ToffeeRado, what are those rims called, and don't they scrub a lot being 8 - 9 " wide? Looks the nuts!
-
I got one, although a little different I think. It isn't a biggie to fit, nor to get a hold of. You really don't notice it that easy, at least I don't. A nice touch tho.
-
hehe, yeah it really doesn't appeal to me the way it used to when I was 14-ish. Nice laydeeez tho :)
-
jenks, perhaps you should've used some of that blue paint masking tape that costs sh*tloads? Heard it is really great!
-
Walesy, no, I'm not British, but I did spend a whole year as an exchange student in the US last year. Oh, and I used to subscribe to both Max Power and Revs, so I've picked up a couple of british expressions from them :) The stella comment convinced you, didn't it? :D I'll take pictures when I take my doors off, and even write some explanations, so I can contribute some knowledge to that base. :) Thanks for all help
