A friend of mine had a polo.....older shape mk3 i think....during the summer he parked the car up for the day and took the underground to work.....sunny day in glasgow (rare) and the kids set off a fire hydrant.....so water on his car all day.....when he got back to it the water was at the steering wheel :D must have came in through the vents or thereabouts.......anyway drained the water and after a wee while we towed it away and it bump started no worries.....only damage was the transponder didn't work so car wouldn't start normally......big button from JCB fitted under shelf above pedals and all was well.....kick start polo 8)

I happened to look out of the window at work on friday to see a couple hovering about my C :nono: climatronic wiring-Golf from May 01.pdf1.jpg[/attachment:24k663my] Then the girl got a camera out and started taking a few pics :D 2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdf2.jpg[/attachment:24k663my] Then she got her husband/boyfriend to take a couple of her next to the car :clap: 3.jpg[/attachment:24k663my] Who knows how far she would have went if it was a nice summers day ? :dance: :norty: Got to say it made my day :D :D :D

welcome mate 8)

these links dont work mate.....not for me anyway :D

well its now removed and i'm handing it in to a company called euro alternators tomorrow......the guy at the garage i use said a refurb might be poss.....i'll find out tomorrow hopefully

mmmm i called them and they said they only sell them new at £89+vat and there is only one in stock at the Heathrow branch.....so i told him i would maybe get back to him

ok guys.....i'll not be driving it i dont think.....pedaling to work for me this week.....lucky the weather is so nice.....NOT :lol: where is best/cheapest for a new alternator then? or is it a scrappy job? can i use one from a mk3 golf gti etc? cheers

ok time for another new part :lol: ......would it still be ok to drive until i get one or do i risk running out of power and engine stopping? :D cheers for the answer doc

Hi all, My battery light came on this morning.....and stayed on.....I had a quick look under the bonnet at the alternator and all seemed well....came in and did a search......looked like the alternator bushes/voltage regulator....tested the voltage at the battery and it was 11.30v which is too low......should be 13.5-14v .......so off to gsf and got a replacement.....£11ish.....got home and fitted it.....(after undoing stuck screw :lol: ) .....started the car up and the light is still on :( Is this likely to be time for a new alternator or battery? ......or could it be something else? thanks in advance

its in the 16v tuning guide in the knowledge base http://the-corrado.net/wiki/index.php/16v_Tuning_Guide

I bought a parcel shelf from andybrooks when he broke his silver vr......it came with a great connector......you could pm him and ask where he got it........link to andy's photos http://www.flickr.com/photos/teamrado/5 ... 245556783/

Cheers A-J :D

I have looked at Autodata and is says its relay number 5 on early and late models 16v and vr6

It looks great 8) ....a red one used to park near where i used to live.....after many times drooling over it i had to take the plunge :lol:

Its been a while since i updated this , so i thought i would take a few pics seeing as its clean ish.....its been lowered since the last pics and had a cat back magnex and light tints and probably other things ??

Hail Hail :lol:

it looks like an unfinished A-TEAM project :lol:

Very nice.....there is just something about red raddo's 8)

Welcome 8)

My bad idle was caused by 2 broken wires(burst inside the plastic covers) on the plug that attaches onto the throttle potentiometer.....only took about a year to find :D ....that was after a new MAF, distributor, leads, throttle potentiometer, fuel pump, and a replacement throttle body and many times cleaning the ISV . Its worth a check as i'm sure someone else also had this.....and its free to look :lol: Mine is also a 2.0 16v btw If you haven't yet looked then use the search....there will be loads of reading as its a common fault.....with usually a few answers Good Luck

very nice........great colour 8)

not sure if this will help....its a link to the installation manual....had a quick look and i haven't a clue good luck http://homepage.ntlworld.com/betyouaint ... nstall.pdf

sorry to hear about this mate.....are you still parking up the hill near the flats?....the wind was real bad last night.....i was up a couple of times to check all was ok and ended up lifting the wheelie bins twice.....they seemed to miss the c but not by much. 200k and still going strong.....nice one :)
