Hmmm I would imagine its the same as 80/90's bumper plastic, a body shop would know for sure.

Good luck with the project ;) - nice that its been in a garage all these years rather than sat on a driveway rotting away.

Cheers Cressa Still cant make my mind up on the ride/suspension yet.. One other thing I noticed when stripping my engine down is the water pump has a plastic impeller... this was a no-no on the MK4's are they let go when you least wanted it to... is this the same for the VR6?

Is there any preferred brand when it comes to chains and tensioners? I've seen the Euro ones are Febi? anyone know who made the originals?

Yeah nice update - my car is in a similar state with the engine the stand waiting for me to crack on with it... Like your engine bay too! did you paint that yourself? 2-pack paint?

I need to take a holiday in County Durham! LOL!

Cheers Jim, I've ordered a complete kit along with Elring head bolts ;)

500 quid!! WTF! Without even looking on ebay I bet thats "sams-salvage" selling that!

yep me to... even if the car is standing I would be dowsing it in WD40 and keeping it covered up or garaged ;)

Cheers Jim ;)

Why are they always in Scotland! LOL!

Hmmm yeah that C4 looks pretty good!

Had a search on here and the internet and the general consensus seems to be that Elring are as close to OEM as you'll get now? anyone tried their head gaskets?

I could probably run to some under bonnet black.... but I cant see 5 tins of paint that I'm going to need, and the way this car is swallowing cash I'd really like to only order what I need...

Hmmmmm sounds good.

Looks like the contents on the radiator sat at the bottom of the cowl over the years it was stood and has rotted it away... anyone got one for a 93 VR6? - I've got the fans and motors etc. Unless anyone knows of an upgrade path to improve on the belt driven setup?

Right wishbone bushes R32 Lemforders front/front and front/rear's, SNR wheel bearings and Pires Hubs 'check' Still stripping the running gear and gathering parts just wondering peoples thoughts on H&R springs on standard gas shocks? my car appears to have reasonably new Sachs Gas shocks on it. but I need to sort the altitude out so was thinking H&R -30's These look to be the same shocks at EuroCP's http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Volkswagen_Corrado_2.9_1993/p/car-parts/suspension/suspension-and-steering/shock-absorber/?635442150&1&7b7a991fc29529ca0db07f9ae8cf19b02c373101&000925 It wasn't good on my MK4 GTI... but the standard suspension was dire on those so I did put Koni's on it in the end. Did notice this on the H&R site... "H&R Sport Springs are the ideal solution for the enthusiast who appreciates race-bred components designed for street use. They are suitable for use with your original dampers or will work with aftermarket sport dampers." - just wondered if people have had experience with that setup?

I was about to say it can't be a million miles from a MK2 Golf TFSI - I've pulled my first VR engine out and other that the obvious size difference its pretty much identical to the MK2 GTI's I used to do in my younger years ;)

Heard that the Meyle items are made in china.... to pretty bad tolerances.... :(

Anyone know anywhere else to get this stuff? I'm a bit miffed about paying £23 for a small tin of paint!

Hi Hasan - pretty sure the pump will go straight on, not sure if the pressure is identical, I was just looking into pumps and racks for my car...

whip the inlet and cam cover off... undo the cam bearings.. be careful with cam location (model dependent).. drop a new set in along with a few new gaskets.. magnetic screwdriver or extension makes it easier.... voila!

PAS pump?

Gessss - really small tin 348ml and £6 delivery! Talk about getting your pants pulled down! :(

Gessss probably have a 70's Luke Skywalker... but I think I chewed his light saber.. and maybe R2D2 somewhere... I've still got my Tamiya RC cars thou! - can't wait for my boys to be old enough for them. ;)
