  1. I think 18s look good on corrado, but to fit a rim thats 8.5" wide, you'll need your wheel arches extended You can fit 18/7.5" fims with not much trouble, you need to roll your arch lips and remove the plasic dirt guards from your front arches I think lots of people are scared of fitting 18s cause there worried they wont fit but there really isnt alot of difference between 17s Lets say for exsample a 17" wheel with a 215/40/17 tyre (I know the most common width is 205, but lots of peolpe use 215s with no probs) if you compare this with an 18" rim with a 215/35/18 tyre, the radius is only 2mm bigger
  2. the corrado storm is a limited edtion corrado, only 500 made, it came with different wheels, mystic blue or dragon green paint and leather interior, the engine is a standard vr6
  3. Id love to know a bit more about that corrado
  4. No, i think the stud patern for a pug is 4x114 (same as fords) and the pattern for vws is 4x100
  5. The car has a magnex performance exhaust (noisey) and has no cat fitted, but the engine should have a cat, could this be a reason?
  6. it was tested with the set of emisions regs at apply to a car that requries a cat
  7. I would get the charger rebuilt to stage 4 first, then a chip and pulley
  8. My corrado (20v turbo) passed the emmisions test on the mot to day, the car is made after the law came in about cats, but it has not got a cat, but still passed Any ideas?
  9. Are you sure they fit?, im sure i read somwhere that the teeth bits on the end of the driveshafts are different
  10. what do you mean by that?, is that the part numbers for vr6 hubs?
  11. Thanks guys, i swaped the c/l pump with my old corrado, and that one worked fine, so now i need a new pump
  12. Will pre face lift fog lights fit in newer style bumpers?
  13. Would a dump valve help this problem, or am i barking up the wrong tree here?
  14. On my 20v turbo engine there is a plug socket under the dash which a fault finding computer can be pluged in Is it only vw dealers that have the computer that plugs into it?
  15. I think i can hear a relay clicking when i push the pin down, but no noise coming from the pump, ive tried both pins Thanks for the help guys, i will look into it tomorrow, now i know a bit more about what im looking for Hopefully you've saved me a trip to the vw garage!!! thanks
  16. one other thing, the central locking still doesent work even if i orperate it manually from inside the car by pushing the door pin down or up Is that a sure sign it must be the pump thats faulty?
  17. Cheers mate, ill have to look into it tommorow
  18. and is there a wire from the alarm that conects to this?
  19. And that controlls the boot an the doors?
  20. on one of my front wheels, the camber (i think thats the right word) looks wrong i will try and explain it in words: the bottom of the wheel/tyer is futher out than the top if you look at the car sideways, it looks if you compare it to the other wheel on the other side, which looks dead vertical hope you can understand that is the camber adjustable, or have i got a problem here?
  21. is there one pump for each of the doors and boot?, or is it one pump that controls both doors and boot? where can i find this pump?
  22. if its any help, its 20v turbo engine
  23. does anyone know the part numbers for new door membraines?
