i'm not sure if you live in the us or not, but we have a few small toys on ebay but im not sure if these are what you are looking for. Like the others said, there isn't many models of corrado, and the ones that do exist can get quite pricey! have a look here.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... tegory=223

worst comes to worst, i just wont have a boost reading on my mfa if there is no vacuum plug, right?
-
so, does anyone know if it will fit? I might just give it a go, and see what happens!
-
i know, it sucks, but who uses the speedo anyway :twisted: anyway, iall the numbers are the same, im just wondering about the harness and because of the boost readings. It says it fits a 90-93 passat.
-
the g60 in the states, or atleast all of the ones i have seen, have speedos of 140.
-
well, here's how they look:
-
do you have the g60 ones, or the ones from the passat? I'm just trying to see if the one if found will fit.
-
Will a cluster from a 2.0L 16v Passat fit the g60. The clocks look the exact same, but i'm not sure how they hook up. I'm looking to replace my clocks and cant find one out of a g60.
-
is it on the back of the mainfold pointing in towards the car, behind the throttle cable? That's the one i was turning.
-
After removing my boost return piping and my isv, I cant get my g60 to idle without holding the gas pedal down. If i unlug the outlet where the isv was connected and put the isv back on (without plugging in the harness) it will start and idle fine. Where is the idle screw located exactly, i have an idea, but it doesnt seem to be doing anything. ANy ideas why it wont idle when the ISV outlet from the throttle body is plugged?
-
nevermind, i found out that the belt was run through the pullies wrong, once i fixed it, it all worked like i thought it should!
-
ok, maybe this will explain what i mean.... i'm trying to put this: back here: I know it connects to where the two arrows are, but how they connect and how i tighten the belt with it i cant figure out. Wish i had paid more attention to this part before i removed it! Thanks in advance!
-
no, the belt tensioner that tightens the serpentine belt on the engine...cant seem to get it on right. It bolts onto the alternator and bolts onto the bracket on one of the idler pullies.
-
Im just starting to put my corrado back together after rebuilding the charger, changing some gaskets and such. I just installed the charger and alternator and ran into a problem with the belt tensioner. I can't figure out which bolts go where and how they are setup to fit on correctly. If anyone has any info, or better yet, a picture of there tensioner, it would be a great help! It's the last step to get my C running again!
-
ok sounds good, i'll give it a whirl and see how it goes!
-
After removing the boost tube and placing a breather filter on the crank case, what did you guys do with the conncetor that plugs into the boost return pipe? I removed the isv and left that plug undone, but where is the idle screw that i need to adjust? I'm guessing its the one on the back of the throttle body that looks kind of hard to get to.
-
I was hoping to install it myself, which looks more difficult the more i think about it :roll:
-
If i get a car alarm for my g60, will I need different actuators for the door locks to work with the keyless entry part, or will the factory ones work? anyone had any experience with this? Any tips will be greatly appreciated!
-
this happened to me once, turned out to be the spark plugs. They got fouled by too much gas so they wouldnt let the car start.
-
my corrado is us spec too, and it did make a difference without changing the headlamp connector wires. I just cut and crimped the wires to the new thicker gauge wire. I didnt buy a kit, i bought all the pieces at an automotive shop yesterday and assembled it in about 1/2 hour. This diagram helped me out but its for 92 MK2 Golf but works just about the same. The instructions are here.
-
The bulbs were replaced before i did the upgrade so both pics have the same bulbs. I cant remember the brand of them though. I might get the Sylvania SilverStar, anyone use them?
-
Just bought the parts today and installed them. I was losing almost a volt to the lights. After, they were both putting out 12 volts. What a difference!! I recommend this to every corrado owner, and its not that difficult or expensive
