Still lurking around - and still have the Corrado (daily during summer, hibernation during winter 🙂 ), and been paying, but as card expired and the auto payment didn't go thru, not a "member" any longer - tried to renew but payment page doesn't seem to work 😞 And yea, facebook suck for things like this, and sadly ruined a he*** of a lot of forums around...... 😞

Anyone happen to know about a good place to get hold of a complete chain kit for a 06 vw Passat 3.2 V6 (VR6), preferable european store, but US can also work. (something other than autodoc maybe) Anyone happen to know if there is a part-nr for a complete kit or is it only "part for parts" regards

I'l look into this linkage thing as I doubt it's something physically gone bad (IIRC - been many years since I did the job as the car is only used during summertime the fork etc is changed), and "problem" have kinda always been there, it's not very noticeable, other that the reversing, there it might be a bit "loud" (If I don't make sure to take it very slow changing into reverse). Thanks for both the tips - I might have to take off the gearbox anyway this winter in regards to other maintenance so to have a closer look at it. Here is the video that mentioned this clutch "problem"? (I kinda doubted it due to my experience with the B3 passat VR6 and never had any issues) https://youtu.be/YT_iCj8WmgE?t=538 he starts talking about it at roughly 09:00 in the video....

A while back I noticed a comment on a youtube video stating that there is some kind of fault/error with the oem clutch in the VR6, and that there is some uprated/fixes clutches one can fit. After my initial rebuild - including new clutch (using centering tool etc - even took it out once an re-installed in to make sure it was ok), but I'v always had a problem when putting it into reverse where one have to be really carefull not to cause a small "grinding" noise - I kinda feel this grind also when changing some gears if I'm not very slow and make sure the clutch is put "pedal to the metal". Anyone have any info about this ? - can't remember this was a problem in my B3 passat VR6.....

To answer my own topic had to loosen 4 bolts under midle of car to be able to pull driveshaft forward to get it out from the final drive 🙂

Anyone know if it's just 3 screws going from front to back that needs to be loosened to split the rear subframe/diff from the car on a 06 passat v6 (3c/b6) Do one have to pull it backwards (is it on a spline going into the axel ?) The screws on the picture is the ones still on . but I think they are supposed to be on the axel side?

Already partly disassembled the other side also (changing out most of suspension/drivetrain parts), but that sounds like a good idea 🙂

Yea thought it might be something like that - thanks for the tips, guess I end up with same "problem" on the other side as well.....ohh well 🙂

Anyone got any tips on how to get off the inner part of the cv-joint in the rear. I thought it should be loose as it sits, but it seem very "stuck", but I presume it should be able to split where the gasket sits....? Any tips/tricks to get it loose without destroying the housing (I kinda think it's due to the rust, but not sure...) (is it normal for it to be this stuck?)

thnx - yea was a great drive on curvy roads fit for a Corrado 🙂 (a bit of bad tarmac - but hey that's the usual stuff up here 🙂 )

haha, yea stil lurking around 🙂

Out and about making grins - west coast Norway 🙂

Great 🙂 thanks again 🙂

Do you have a model number for them - and maybe a ebay link to adapters ?

Is there any speakers today that will fit the original rear speaker place in the Corrado ? - without doing any kind of mods ?.

Sounds good, thanks for feedback 🙂

What I was looking for - I presume these will be a direct fit on the Speedlines then ?.

Anyone know of any of the "premium" tyre brands still makes the original size for the Corrado VR6 (205/50/15) - alternative any suggestions on what other brands might be good alternative, must be good wet weather properties. Also would there be some other more available size that will fit the original speedline rims ?.

I just did a go at trying to repair a mechatronics unit for a friend, by replacing the pressure compensator part, put it back on the car, and was going to go thru a "basic setting" procedure with VCDS, I eventually got passed the first part, where it gets the code 4 | 0 | 0, and start the car, it should then eventually go to 254 | 0 | 0 to confirm it succeeded, but it jumps directly to 5 | 0 | 0 . I noticed I got an error of 5'th gear not selectable, but was able to clear this error to it seems, anyone got any idea if there is any danger in trying to engage the gears even if this procedure doesn't seem to go all through.... Any tips and tricks would be appreciated. This is on a VW Passat 1.4 tsi, with a 7 speed DSG.

Thanx appreciated, that would help 🙂 Also got it more or less confirmed from a local VW garage that they came up as direct fitment for each other so think this should be good 🙂

Been a while since I was in here, but been lurking from time to time - didn't notice the new subscription thing until now 🙂 but still around and the Corrado is still on the road (although in a heated garage/workshop for the winter 🙂 ), too much salty roads to expose it to in the winters up here

Anyone in here have any ideas if a HDV gearbox is a direct replacement on a car that have a JLU gearbox ?. this is on a 2.0 TDI 140HP, with a BKP engine (which at the moment have a defective JLU gearbox). Any tips would be appreciated 🙂

Any tips on webshops that sells SAE-10 monograde engine oil without any detergents ? (seem impossible to get hold of here in Norway :( )

Just some experimenting with "light painting".....the Corrado with some of it's "battle scars"....:)

Not sure m8, I would just buy a cheap non return from ebay (can't remember size, but I think it's 8mm) and test it.....I tried all kind of stuff before I heard about this issue, and it have been working ever since (VW did actually have an official replacement as it was a common problem), but the part is discontinued.....
