The Corrado G60 used ATB, ATA, AYL, AYN, CAW, CBA or CGP boxes and the Golf used AYC, AYN or CBA so yes, they are interchangeable. £625 sounds a bit cheap for a recon 02A box from VEGE, they may have quoted you on an 020 box. A VAG unit is £1328.76 inc VAT for a CBA but AYC and AYN went obsolete in April this year.

When a Motec ECU (if you want DBW) costs over £3K!

What Corrado is it?

More than likely your ABS ECU is full of water after the glorious dry summer we have had. Have you had any water running down the passenger

Your alternator is overcharging, it will need replacing. You must neutralise that acid, I have seen many Corrado's with battery trays rotted right through.

PM me your email address.

Never tried it the way the Haynes comic book suggests. Bentley sell a manual called

There are too many variables to give an idea of cost such as how much the donor engine costs, which ECU you use, if you want to get the DBW throttle and VVT system, who does the work, how well you want it done etc etc.

If you buy ( :lol: ) VAG-COM, or find someone with it who will help you, you need the early diag adapter.

You can't set a 9A up without putting it into basic adjustment mode. The two wires you have are the diagnostic comms and you need to add a second plug with a permanent live and earth and you may have this on the donor harness. When connecting to a diagnostic system such as VAG-COM, you will need the early adapter harness to connect to the VAG-COM cable and you can buy these from any VAG-COM reseller.

Did you make the diagnostic plug(s) accessible so you can check for fault codes?

Ehh! :?

:lol: So 95 on Golf 3 VR6's never stall then?

APX is also 9.5:1

Camber is 35 minuets negative and the tracking parallel i.e. 0

That data is wrong, acording to ELSA the BAM has a 9.5:1 compression like all the others.

We gave up selling them for the Corrado, it is impossible to make them work.

It's not the Mk4 Golf metal gasket (022 103 383 F) that you use, it is the one from a Sharan (AMY) or T4 (AES), with the matching head bolts. Gasket 021 103 383 N Bolts 021 103 384 K x 7 021 103 384 G x 10 021 103 384 L x 3

All good, no bad, as long as the car is re-set up correctly and that is a big problem with Corrado's and Passat

By side to side play, do you mean plunging movement as in pushing the shaft in and out of the joints or rotational free play?

Check the vac hoses on the back of the TB are the corrcet way around.

I didn't want to mention suppliers but that is one of the companies I had trouble with over blue CTS's and the other company was the other big supplier with a European name!

If the cam has gone tight, I suspect you may have fitted the head gasket upside down. Is the tag with "OBEN" or "TOP" showing to the left (as viewed looking at the head) of the centre oil return drain gallery? If it is to the right and the writing is upside down (viewed with a mirror) you will have damaged the head and cam. This will mean either fitting a new head and cam or having the head machined for insert bearings and a new cam, although undersize I/D insert bearings are available for a machined down cam.

Change the blue coolant temperature sender on the cylinder head water housing, VW part number 025 906 041 A (£14.35) and "O" ring N 903 168 02 (£1.00). I would recommend genuine VW as I have had considerable problems with aftermarket blue senders, so much that I will not use pattern ones any more.

Yes, early type 35 VR6 parts. It will work on 89 onwards G2 16v, all 4 stud Corrado's, Passat type 35 4 stud, Golf 3 4 stud (with 256 brakes) and others.
