Crasher

There are two evil little buggers up inside the bell housing into the rear crank oil seal holder. Depending on the screws used, a 1/4” drive wobbly end extension bar and 10mm socket or long ball ended 5mm hex (Allen) key is required.

The old practice was to stick a drift up the side of the sleeve and collapse it so it can be pulled out with pin nosed grips, or just bust the wishbone out with a crowbar. What confuses me is no Corrado ever used this sleeve, part number 191 407 190 A, as it was only used in the Golf 2 subframe, instead the type 535 subframe employed curved slots that the wishbone bush centre tube engages in as per Golf 3. In the 191 subframe, the key point to successful reinstallation of a new tube is having the wishbone absolutely flat so not connected to the hub. In the 90’s I designed an installation slide hammer tool which centred the bush tube even loaded and allowed the tube to be pushed in. If you need any selves I still have a bucket load but they are rusty and the postage costs more than they are worth, a Febi 03544 is typically 50p.

You also need to release the front mount under the radiator but lifting the engine high enough puts a lot of strain on hoses and wiring plus the front mount bracket hits the bottom of the radiator cowl from dim and distant memory. I prefer to drop the subframe and if you are doing both wishbones, it is only four more bolts plus the one for the column shaft.If the sump is in the usual terrible condition, you could remove it instead.

Stretched? Are you sure it hasn’t pulled its thread? The part number is 021 103 397 but unfortunately they are obsolete.

And I need a left…

Consider the MOT implication. The Mk20 system is much better but good pumps are becoming hard to find.

The cable adjustment reaction circlip will be missing, part number N 900 956 03 and £3.12 from VW dealers, the other problem sounds like an air leak.

Sorry, I did not get a notification. I don’t have a picture to hand, it is the dual blue fuse box plug to 28 pin dash harness I need with the green two pin plug coming off, these harness are usually all white cables.

I need a Corrado 95 VR6 dash harness the 28 pin cluster socket to plugs U1 and U2? Anyone how can help? I think the OE number is 3A2 971 064 A. I have one but I need another.

It is in the same place but there is an RSJ looking strengthening beam over the top of the sender.

2023 e-tron GT headlight, £5132.40... mind that is a bargain compared to the £3102952 for the high voltage battery... On the TT2 cabrio, if the lift pump fails it is fuel tank out which is rear subframe exhaust down.

No joy, sorry.

I will go and have a look now, I had forgotten.

Remind me tomorrow, they are in the unit next to the one I rent out to a motorbike chap and he doesn't do Mondays. He uses my spare compressor which is in the unit so goes in there every morning to fire it up so unlocking and turning the alarm off. I know I have one for a Corrado and one for a Golf 3 VR6 as we broke one of each to build the Golf 2... just not sure where they are, could be in the shipping container next to the unit but last time I went in there it was full of mould, a wasp nest and half a dozen bumble bees; the local feral cat population live under it.

I think I have one that belongs to a customer and forum member, I will check tomorrow
