I think as the C has a fairly flat back as opposed to a sunken reg holder it would stick out too much? Dont suppose anyones got one on their C?

Meta have a range of these. Thinking about fitting some as I find the C a hell of a lot harder to reverse into my (fairly tight) drive. Not got a price yet, thought I'd gauge reaction on here first. Any thoughts?

Just gunna get a K&N panel filter instead.

I doubt Halfords do that. Any ideas on where I can get it from, or should I just ring around?

Will the VW gearbox oil be fine or stick with what the guide recommends?

I got the oil choice from the servicing guide in the Knowledge Base but I'll take a peek!

Another I've just thought of. Should I get cheap oil for a flush or proper engine flush?

Ooops, sorry, meant to exclude the Alarm and VAGCOM. Getting the VC from ebay and alarm from local place. How much of each oil do I need? Is G12+ the brand or type? (I'm very technically minded you know!) Edit: Ooops, didn't read it carefully enough! Theres 2 of us getting the oil, What quantities can you get it in. 5l no doubt!

As soon as I can I'm getting all these done to my C thats arriving tonight. Can I get all of these components from VW? Inc the oil/gearbox oil? Plus, how much oil do I need for both? Oil Filter Oil - VW Silver Synta 10W/40 Spark Plugs Coolant - G12+ Brake fluid Air Filter Fuel Filter Gearbox Oil - Castrol TAF-X Sigma S32 Cat 1 Alarm A VAGCOM set. Should set me back quite a bit! Thats assuming garage doesn't find something else!

Which steering wheel is that I wonder?

I'll go to work now if I can get the car quicker! Dammit its only 6.50!

Arrrrrrrrrgh! Whys it not Monday night yet!!!! :bounce2: :bounce2: :bounce2: :bounce2:

Mines Mystic Blue with black leather, unfortunately not a storm though. Only on a K plate for one!

Believe me, my 306 GTI6 is a similar relationship.

Remember, thats dollars not pounds. Any ideas on mention faults guys?

A mate of mine contacted a scrapper in USA and he was selling a few full leather interiors (all of it) for $300!!!!! Try searching for one. Obvioulsy not as popular over there! Beats paying a grand on ebay!

Cheers Dan! Aircon eh! :) Cool! Probably not work as its being stood for 8 months until a few months back. Didn't seem to do much when I tried it, but the blowers are only half working.

Just bought a Corrado VR6! All being well I'll be getting it Monday evening. It's one from the forum. Mystic Blue VR6, 100,000miles with engine rebuild and clutch 15k ago (hopefully aquiring proof of this mon morn). Full leather heated seats (mmm). Bodywork needs a bit of TLC but got it for a good price. This one: http://www.the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewto ... 92&start=0 Couple of ques from a Corrado novice. Theres a button beneath the heated seats and fog lights on centre of dash, one says "Max" and the other "Norm". What do they do? The elec mirrors dont move and the blower works on 1+4, intermittant on 2 and nothing on 3, reasonbly cheap to sort? Is it poss to get a copy of history from VW if it was serviced there in the past? Passenger seat doesn't go up or down, but does move back a forth (electric). I can hear a click when I press the button but it doesn't move. Any ideas? Sunroof does usual thing of not going back and forward, but tilts, fairly cheap? I'll need to fit a Cat 1 alarm, any suggestions/prices on which model? Does anyone want to buy a 306 GTI-6 by any chance! :wink: Thanks for buying guide, came in handy.

Sorry if its a repost! Signs that you are addicted to your car. * Your service tech hides when they see you coming. * Someone says “mods” or “my girl” and you think they're talking cars. * Mobil 1 sends you a card at Christmas. * You get an erection/orgasm whenever someone says “The Pod". * You know who your Regional Service Manager is. * You wave at perfect strangers who have the same car as you...whether they wave back or not! * You start buying all your underwear in the colours your model comes in: * You can't function on the job because your spouse took your car to work today. * You used to hate arguing with your other half, but now you look forward to it, knowing that they will make you sleep in the garage that night. * You face towards the country your car was made and pray five times a day, hoping for next years model to have the accessories you want. * You won't vacuum the house once a month but you sweep the garage once a week. * Your dealer calls YOU when he has good deals on parts. * You own the 2001 through to 2006 owner’s manuals, but you only have one car. * You swing by the house at lunch to check the Forum email instead of eating. * You would rather drive across the country, even though it is twice as cheap to fly. * Normally, you give your other half drama for going to the shops but now you don’t mind as long as you can stay in the car park and watch for others admiring your car. * The first waking thought you have at 6 AM. Every Saturday morning is to get up and go wash your car. * You have an 8 x 10 colour printout of your car turning a corner, hanging on your office wall and on your PC. * The only thing you use your computer for anymore is to check for new Forum postings. * You get really cranky when you check your mail and there is no latest Newsletter. * You take heart knowing that those bugs paid the ultimate price for messing up the front of your car. * Your other half now points out other cars and you can tell her the difference between a 2001, 2001, 2002.5, 2003, 2004 and a 2005 model. * You request a parking lot view instead of an ocean front so you can watch the guys gawk at your car instead of gawking at the babes on the beach!!! * You wake up in the middle of the night, slink over to the window, part the curtains, and gaze at your car for a minute or so usually twice per night. * You cannot stop smirking when others look at your vehicle. * You eat lots of meat, drink lots of beer, don't exercise hardly enough, watch a lot of TV, and generally don't give a rat's butt about your health, but MAN, you treat that car like it's the last living member of the species on Earth. Which it is, really. * You calculate your mileage every time you fuel up, and get mad at your other half when they don't reset the trip odometer when THEY fuel it up -- but, you probably don't let them fuel it up anyway since you hog up the vehicle. * You sneakily look in the rear view mirror to see if that guy you've just passed is sneakily trying to get a second look at your car. * You can hardly conceal that insane grin as people gawk at your car, but you try your best to look indifferent, even bored.

I currently own a 306 GTI6, group 16. I got a quote from direct line just to see what I'm looking at for when I buy my VR and its cheaper for me to get the VR than it is the GTI6??? A few random quotes I got. 3 yrs NCB, 3 points. Fiesta 1.25 Reg - Grp5 = £580 306 GTI6 - Grp16 = £685 Corrado VR6 - Grp18 = £635 Primera GT (old) - Grp11 = £1000 What the hell is going on! Are the ins people just rolling dice to come op with these figures?????? :confused4:

Your not really selling me a Corrado for my next car guys! Getting worried now!

Option 1 - Lie! (You had trouble finding out, would they? Prob not!) Option 2 - Keep it till its older. Option 3 - Beg someone who can override the rule? Embassy? Option 4 - Give it to me. Option 5 - Say its for parts only? Not sure if that would work. Option 6 - Swap it for an older one. Option 7 - Stay here till Sept 07.

Do they provide any guarantees? I'd take it to my local garage, but finding a VR6 for sale in a local area would be a nightmare!

I can do 90 in 3rd at present and I have 6 gears to play with. It's not going too fast thats the problem, its knowing where the sites are when your unfamiliar with the area that the angel helps.
