Received wing mirrors today - thnx :)

thnx - might be still be available outside of norway (as here vw have a "local to norway" importer that runs all vw shops here - and they might take out parts from their sortement before they are "unavailable" worldwide) - and in Norway the Corrado hardly ever sold new (I think only a couple of them came thru the dealer) - the rest is imported at a later point in time :)

Did you find the part-number (as I'v double checked with the dealer here, but they aren't available here in norway) - at least from what the dealer can see :(

Fitted it now - and it's supposed to sit inside - as expected :)

That's correct - but on the new one the o-ring have been pulled back onto the round part of the plastic housing, so it will seal against the body - on the old the o-ring seem to sit in the gap between the plastic housing and the plastic ring - so was just wondering what is "correct" :) IE - Does the o-ring seal against the body itself or should it go inside?.

Just bought a new cam position sensor, and I notice the o-ring is all the way back on the sensor, so when inserting it the "o-ring" will seal against the engine "body", and not go inside the hole for the sensor - on the old sensor it seem like it have been sitting inside, does anyone know how it's supposed to sit ?.

Responded - and I'l take em :)

So £66 shipped then ? - I presume the motors are working ?, so the only thing missing is the mirror itself ?

thnx! :) (Don't know why it got into a double post from me here....lol...:) )

What would shipping for the side mirrors be to Norway ?

What would shipping for the side mirrors be to Norway ?

Yea would be nice if you could get part number - as I think they must have looked at the wrong thing when stating it was not available anymore.

The ones that sits in the plastic trim in the rear (the cover you remove to get access to spoiler motor etc)

Anyone ever heard of a repair kit for this ? (a hose with a valve on it), and eventually know the part number?. (Got info from a german forum that such a kit was made due to problems)

Anyone know if the clips that holds the plastic trim cover of the the hatch is available anywhere (ex on ebay) or similar.... needing 2 or 3..myself....:(

To me the Corrado absolutely feel on "par" - but then again I do a lot of driving on "country" roads - lots of "turnings"....;)

Just seen a "stop motion" video - 00:14 Corrado spotted....lol....:)

I don't drive my Corrado very much, as I only use it as a "summer car" (We use a lot of salt and **** on our roads causing rust so the C stays at home during winter) - so my "Daily driver" is a 06 Passat 3.2 V6 (VR6) 4 motion. BUT when I take out the Corrado I kinda find it "on par" with the Passat, when it comes to things like the "feeling of speed", I actually think I feel the sense of speed more in the Passat then the Corrado, and was just wondering what other people think - is it still on par with newer cars or is it just me ? :) My Corrado is pretty stock vr6 with KW1 suspension.

Got a tips on another forum that hot start problems could be related to fuel pump problem - does anyone know if this is a "known" problem on the VR6, and if there is any way to test if this problem is present or not?. They where talking about a valve not beiing able to hold pressure. But if that's the case - why would it still work fine when cold ? (mine always starts but takes some cranking before starting when warm)

Mine is 167 - troubleshooting the hot start problem I have so was just wondering - Any idea if Immobiliser might cause one to have to crank the car more when hot then when cold ? - or should that be fine if the cold start is fine ?. (A bit "offtopic" but just thought I'd add it here :))

Anyone know if these 2 relays are the same ? - and if not what is supposed to be on a 95 VR6 ?

Could this sensor cause the car to be hard to start when warm (meaning, it will always start, but I will sometimes (most time) have to crank it more than "normal"). If it's faulty should it show up in vag-com ? 95 VR6

I think there is a few fuses on the fan-control module in the engine compartment, and I *think* actually there is a fuse or two hidden in the back of the instrument cluster - not sure what they are for though. And doubt the fuses on the fan-control module is to blame - but never hurts to check though :) Fan control module:

If it's the load reduction relay I think it's the one stamped "18", and located in position 4:
