  1. yeah sure. So to be sure they are the black plastic bits that you see at the top between the door card and window. one inner you can't see, and the outer one you can. How about £10 delivered..? Do you want some photies? thanks, murray
  2. Nearside (L) door bits off a 1994 VR6. Window regulator and motor; moves smoothly when I put power to it Inner window black plastic trims Outer window black upper rubber seal Door rubbing strip Happy for the trim bits to just be made use of, so just postage costs. Want something for the motor/regulator. Thanks, murray
  3. SOLD SOLD SOLD Corrado VR6, 1994, 126k, Cream Leather, Aircon, FSH, full MOT. £2500. In Cambridge Classic green 1994 Corrado VR6 with cream leather interior, cream dials and original BBS Solitudes. Looks like a storm, but with the ultra-rare aircon fitted. 126k miles with extensive history. I’ve owned it for 9 years and it’s been regularly serviced, sometimes after less than 1000 miles. Mechanically excellent, original, and very solid underneath. Full MOT just passed with no advisories. Bodywork straight, but paint needs a bit of tidying. Easy project for what will be an excellent investment. Lots of random spares including obsolete parts included. Spec: Electric mirrors, windows, spoiler, sunroof (tilts and slides); remote central locking with Toad alarm/immobiliser, 2 keys; trip computer, cream dials, aircon, electric heated seats, ABS, 4x good tyres; original tool kit, warning triangle, leather owners folder/handbook, and sales receipt! Major jobs done: In addition to regular servicing: Lupo wiper conversion; new coil pack, HT leads, cam sensor; coolant hoses, reservoir, senders, electric pump, main pump, thermostat and housing, new radiator (cooling system finally works correctly); Valeo heater matrix (worst job ever…); cam sensor; coils & dampers all round, R32 bushes top and bottom, ARB links; rocker gasket; metal striker arms in door handles; steel brake pipes replaced with copper – anything mechanical that needed doing has been done. Bad points: Alloys need a refurb; bumper stone chipped; light bubbling on front offside arch; bonnet needs a respray; light scrape to rear nearside arch; air con makes the right noises but doesn’t get cold anymore. Priced to reflect this. Selling due to a T5 camper project that has stolen me. Contact Murray on: [email protected] or 07808 579069
  4. Mine did this on and off fro years - at the most inopportune moments. It was the ECU power relay in the end. changed it and never looked back. Fuel pump relay can give similar symptoms too
  5. for the money i don't there is anything better than the weitec ultra GT kit..... really nice ride as well for a lowered car.... pb
  6. how does something that is only 3 um thick have such an amazingly low thermal conductivity..?!? does it just block heat transfer by radiation - although it doesn't look very shiny..?!? can i spray my house with it........ :lol: weird........ pb

    vr6 cams

    Doesn't NormanCoal just want to know what power figures a standard VR6 makes after a remap vs. a remap AND 263's..?!? pb
  8. different as in it has 2 open holes for sensors in the flange....?? ive had this before with the gf's golf, and if it is this, gsf should have told you you needed a blanking plate for it... i think they sent me out one FOC. or you can use an old sensor..?!? pb
  9. Just drive it below 3000rpm in suitable gears (i.e. don't let it labour in 5th up a steep hill) and don't rag it until its oil is warm, and don't worry.....!! pb
  10. MOT garages are always moaning about the play in these style top mounts when the weight is off the wheels......... Its my pet hate, and i just don't understand how there can't be any play, given that the top plate would rub when steering L to R if there was no gap..?!?!? The cars weight holds the mount snuggly in the strut tower, and the very top plate just stops the strut dropping when jacked..?? What do VW do when a car they know has brand new top mounts fitted comes back after failing an MOTfor top mount play..?? Stick another new pair in...??? Has anyone even spoken to "The ministry" about this annoying issue and the way they are tested...?? pb
  11. yes, its normal, a common issue, and happens as the rubber top mount squishes... but my MOT garage try to fail me on it every year...... i normally persuade them otherwise, but still a complete pain.... pb
  12. I thought you had the Weitec ultra GT...?? Is the rear spring plate on the lowest setting already then..?? Or is this because the PI springs have a higher ride height..??
  13. would the really long pipes under the car act like an intercooler with all that air whoosing past..?!?! pb
  14. This could also be anything that cuts a critical power feed - fuel pump relay (probably kangaroo on cut out), ECU relay, or ignition switch. pb
