Cheers Pete, I'll have a wee look. Might not be that as I had a look there and it seems now that it's the pipe that comes from the matrix to the head, just to the left of the aux pump, seems to be leaking at the clamp. I'll have an autopsy later as I need to cut the grass :lol:

Driving home from work yesterday i thought i saw a wee bit of smoke/steam escape from the bonnet. Once i got into my street i had a load escaping from the drivers side, i had visions of it bursting into flames at any moment. Parked it up rather quickly and got the fire extinguisher out of the garage.Popped the bonnet but couldn't see anything? Had a look underneath and spotted something was dripping. Then life(new baby) took over and i had to leave it until today. Had a while free earlier and had a wee look. Brake fluid ok, power steering fluid ok, oil ok, so had a look at the coolant. It was down but not too much? Topped it up and drove round to the bookies(5mins) and when i stopped, a wee bit of steam and more dripping. Drove back home and parked it up again. Had a search on here and i'm fairly sure its the aux water pump as it seems to have stopped leaking when its not running? And it seems to have steam cleaned a section underneath it :lol: Long winded story, but i like a bit of background :) So, where can i get one of these? Dealer? elsewhere? anyone know the cost? Any point buying a second hand one? Same part on later golfs etc? Anyone got a good/new one they'd like to sell? TIA Martin :)

Sorry mate but i'm also out :(

I have a toad AI606 fitted, had one on my last corrado too.........got the same guy to fit both...........i have full closure as soon as i lock it, button 4 on mine is redundant, button 3 on mine make it arm/unarm silently. Pretty sure the fitter can program buttons 3&4 to do whatever? I asked him to set it up this way as its the same way he had done the previous time. So yes they are having a laugh

Yes :) a grey one for me please 8)

Canon S95, great wee camera :)

There used to be a red one round the corner from me, and I couldn't help but stare every time I walked past(which was quite a lot) , and the more I looked the more I knew I had to have one. It's just a cool car to own, and I still feel lucky to do so. I still smile when I turn back to look at it , especially if it's parked in a car park full of shapeless boxes. My signature says it all 8)

Never had to use the door handle repair kit but have used the tunnel repair and Dave very kindly made me a bracket to fit a humped rear bench into a non humped rear. The guy is a legend :thumbleft:

Insured it, quite surprised how reasonable it was....... Only need to tax it now to bring it out of hibernation 8)

Oh, I have a middle shade i've not got round to fitting yet, and a selection of wing indicators :lol:

Looks great mate 8)

Ok mate, I'll take the sump, can I have the bolts with it please? :)

Hi, What condition is the sump in? If it's sound and undamaged , I'll take it :) Cheers Martin

I have gunsmoke on the front of mine, all the lights.........not sure what light is getting through, must be ok though as its passed a couple of MOT's like it

I also have a couple of these, in bits, one off a corrado, one off a passat. Happy to help out with any spare bits etc look here for some pics http://wiki.the-corrado.net/late_heater_control_repair.html

Yes, loads of the wet stuff up here :)

Would be really good to know of trusted good mechanics, who have been used by members, and maybe a list produced if there are any of these RARE breads out there? [ATTACH=CONFIG]59385[/ATTACH]

I'm hoping to be in fife at some point over the weekend so could possibly collect it en route? Not 100% sure i'm going yet but if i do i'd happily take it off your hands :)

I have a couple of cracked ones out in the garage Jamie, i'll have a look and let you know if there is any wiring attached etc. do you still work in Glasgow?

Not been too active on here myself mate, been way too busy, became a dad a fortnight ago, so its been a bit mad. I took the corrado off the road in november, to avoid having to use it in the snow etc(that didn't happen). so really looing forward to breaking it out again. How's things yourself mate?

Nice one jamie, cant wait until i get mine on the road again........prob the end of april though :)

3 slices of ham? :)
