They do a Mahle one for £52! CR 407 000S MAHLE ORIGINAL 376714641 Engine radiator for vehicles with air conditioning, 673 x 305 x 34 mm, Automatic Transmission, Manual Transmission, Mechanically jointed cooling fins | AUTODOC price and review Word of warning on Aftermarket alloy Radiators - Engine Bay - The Corrado Forum

Yep - That isn't going to glue back together! Probably the cause of your leak, too. Autodoc do one 041700N AKS DASIS Engine radiator 630 x 310 x 34 mm, Manual Transmission, Automatic Transmission, Mechanically jointed cooling fins for VW Corrado 53i | AUTODOC price and review . Have a proper look for a good one. Or upgrade to a stainless one - they may even do the bend so you won't need the flange? I've no experience of these.
-
Hmm - depends where it is actually leaking from. You can un bolt the flange from the radiator and there is a round seal on the pipe that goes into the radiator end tank. It could be this that is leaking?

This is what Cressa is referring to: The definitive VR6 cooling guide - Engine Bay - The Corrado Forum. Most of it carries over to the 4-pot cars (radiator switch, fan controller and sensors) - just ignore the auxiliary electric pump. The blue sensor tells the ECU the temperature. If you can get to it, disconnect the housing and measure the resistance of the sensor with a meter. Cold values are larger resistances (250 Ohms) and warmer values approach zero Ohms. (If I remember it correctly!) Or if you have VCDS or such like - see what temperature the ECU believes it is. Looking further the 16v seems to have both sensors in one 4-pin sensor.. -
Volksworld13 was making them in the proper steel tube with stainless unions, but it looks like he's not been on here for a while: Genuine vw corrado brake lines remanufactured updated prices (July 19) - Forum Group-Buys - The Corrado Forum I bought a full set a while back and they are brilliant.

Hey up, I suppose it all comes to what "further forward" means (a photo would answer this, but I think you can't upload photos until you have made so many posts). Refer to VW Corrado Bumpers (heritagepartscentre.com). The bumper has a main black bracket which runs across the front of the car with two sloped brackets (8) where the four bolts secure it from under the car - sandwiching the front engine support bar. I guess this is located correctly to get your bolts through. There is a black holder with two bobbins on each side where the ends of the bumper needs to slot on to. Lastly, if the previous people have taken the bumper plastic off the main bracket and not refitted it properly, the bumper may appear too far forward (but only by 1cm or so). There are 10 or so black plastic wedges (10) that hold the bumper plastic to the main bracket. There isn't much to go wrong - if it all lines up! Report back with your findings.

I think the light flashes the same for either scenario. According to the instruction manual (p34 for G60): Try to disconnect the connector to the low pressure sensor and ground the signal wire - see if the flashing goes out? I guess this sensor would be open circuit until the pressure is met then closed circuit. Then repeat for the high pressure sensor. This may be the other way round: Open circuit until high pressure is met? I've not tried any of this, but it may point you where to go next...

Hello, and some initial advice on Workshop Manuals and Parts lists
Philly-R6 replied to Johnny D's topic in Newbies Hangout
There was a thread on VW Vortex - I don't know if all the pages are there, though... I also use parts catalogue Group Parts Corrado (COR) [EUROPA 1992 year] (7zap.com). Others are available, but I stuck with this one! Have fun -
If you are stuck, I have one from a Mk3 Golf. The grey wires will be the same (just longer). I would need to check the other single wire connectors (indicators, main beam, etc, as I'm sure its a 3-way connector).

Here is a photo of where my heated seats harness connected:

Does your speedometer work in the dash? From memory the vehicle speed is passed around on a blue/white wire. So from the gearbox sender (near the diff) the wire goes to one of the little 4-way connector blocks above the fusebox (it will have a few blue connectors in there - see the picture here http://the-corrado.net/topic/86840-heated-seat-wiring-earth/?do=findComment&comment=1030915). One wire then takes the vehicle speed to the dash and another will take the signal to the spoiler control module. The spoiler control module is behind the dash where the manual switch is. If your speed displays correctly on the clocks, it could be an iffy earth (especially as it worked fine last summer). Check the earth connector near the spoiler controller - follow the brown wire. And then the earth block in the rear hatch by the spoiler itself. Do the reverse and number plate lights illuminate correctly on the hatch? Are they dim? Or do they dim when the spoiler moves? Report back with your findings...

I don't know, but i did find this - I hope it helps: The unofficial Cluster Swap thread | VW Vortex - Volkswagen Forum

A little more info' for you - from Cressa!! Rear badge gap/position - Car Care - The Corrado Forum (the-corrado.net)

According to the 1992 Volkswagen Corrado Product Information Bulletin (Jan 1992 - No4): "The Supercharged badge will be fitted as standard to the rear of all 1992 model year Corrado G60 and Polo G40"

Could you get the sunroof loom for the MK4 Golf and try to integrate it into the existing Corrado wiring?
