could also be a broken/leaking line from master to slave cylinder. All are relatively cheap and easy to fix.

hmmm, makes sense but not sure how it's been wired. I did wonder if the crank or cam sensors are playing up, until I get vag com'd I wont know, damn!

I didn't think it would be the fuel pump relay would cause the issue as the fuel pump primes, however does it switch when key is turned to start and switch back when key is left in the run position? Why wouldnt it be the ECU relay? I need to find someone with VAG com near me, lets hope that Mark from SWICT allowed for connection via the plug.

Ill change the coil packs over just incase they are on their way out. Its wierd I know. But also very annoying

Hi all. I've posted up on the r32 forum, but not positive results. Anyone on here able to give some input? "Hi I have a converted corrado which now runs a mk5 style R32 engine. Each morning the car starts first time no problem so Im able to get to work (8mile journey on dual carriage way), but when I return to the carpark after work I sometimes have trouble starting. It's been getting worse and I dont recall having any issues over winter. Today was so bad that after several engine cranks, probably a dozen or so it didnt fire and ended up running the battery flat. Had to get a jump start using a friends car which made mine start on second crank. My battery initially seemed fine. Drove to the post office, go back to the car and again wouldnt start. 4th attempt it attempted to start (heard a knock) and died. 5th attemp started fine (backfired though, most likely due to the fuel in the chambers) Then though maybe the fuel may be causing the issue as I ran a full tank of tesco momentum so filled up at the station with tesco 98ron, again it wouldnt start, several times it sounded to start ie slight fire but didnt burst into life finally it ran so got myself home and checked under the bonnet. Nothing seems wrong under the bonnet, but I did notice that the top coolant hose was pressurised quite allot, more than I have ever noticed before. Coolant level looks ok with no oil. Oil looks ok with no mayo, checked under the oil cap while running and there was pressure, not sure if this is normal, and the engine ran rough until i refitted the cap. Is there anything that could be a likely culprit, I wont be able to get it scanned for faults for a while and I need the car daily to get to work and back." Fuel pump seems to prime ok, well I can hear it running anyway.

I asked the guy through cgti for a picture of his mk3 golf windows so I could see it would look but he hasnt replied.

coulster, as mentioned http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?54096-Perspex-Windows http://clubgti.com/forum/showthread.php?t=209821&page=7 Good to have you on board guys, added you to the list. Only need two more people!

I havent forgot, just havent got round to it. Also realised that I have the rear beam without stub axles. Ill measure that instead if thats ok? I guesse your making spacers up?

:gag:

ive heard that the M3 carbon wrap (which I think is what your talking about) can be a pain to keep clean as it has lots of dimples which allows for dust, crud, water etc to fall into. maybe worth considering or confirming?

There is a link to someone making corrado plexi glass parts (Ill dig it out later on). I, like you wish to keep the heated element thought. Even without the glass, the boots still weigh alot! Ill put you down then coullstar. Once I've hit ten, Ill get a proper quote and get back to you all.

cheers airde, if I do sell then Ill let you know. Well, Ive been driving round for a week with no horns, it was a nuisance not being able to warn others on their stupid driving and them getting close to me several times, good job Ive got the power and brakes to avoid any problems. But I thought it best to sort the issue out, so bought some new horns from Halfrauds, not normally where I would normally be found but I was told they sold horns very similar to the VW's at a slightly cheaper price. Unfortunately they were a bit smaller than the originals and the terminals werent vw type so had to make a loom to get them to fit up to the car but thankfully they sounded pretty good and not tinny as I thought they may end up sounding like. Also, got started on tinting the spare rear lights all red. Prepped and tinted them and are just drying off ready for laquer on another day.

good news. well done!

Seriousely?! Can you get it back on the road by then, youve got ages! Get your ass in gear boyo. I checked out the industrial estate yesterday to check how busy it looked on a Saturday. Good news is that it all looks pretty quite and should have enough space for all the cars that plan to come along. Hopefully the security guards wont be too bizzy body.

i wired it to one of the coil plug pulse wires. ill dig out the wiring notes I got from Vince at stealth.

i just told you, ebay germany or vw themselfs! ebay uk sometimes has hits. you could try a loom from another vw such as passats of the same era. otherwise keep an on on the classifieds. and maybe put a wanted ad up

i would be interested in a CF euro plinth and one of these new rear wings. any chance of cf or fg wings (fenders)

the looms new cost a fortune. I ended up making part of it. if your lucky some people come up with these for sale. otherwise making one may be the best bet or ebay uk and germany

very nice. Just out of interest. Are the KW's comfortable? Im toying with gold gaz and kw's

sorry kempy, Ive only got pics of the fronts

if only it was a 3.2 head

I'm still waiting for Kempy to get back to me with the condition of the rears. Mr Lobitos, if Kempy can't help Ill take you up on the offer as long as the card/backing is undamaged. Twin45, Ill pass as it will cost me almost £15-£25 in fuel to collect anyway.

oops yeah sorry, was a long day!
