My VR6 seems to take a fair few turns to start up when its hot?..Anyone got any suggestions or do you think a simple Hometune visit might be the solution??

Well...Job done and NO bits left over!!!! :lol: Mega thanks once again to Graham and John at Volkscars for the great response.. :D :D :D [size=18]RESULT!!!!!!!!!![/size]

Well Graham has duly turned up to sort the heater matrix out..ie replace it. :D Great guy!! Err wouldnt recommend this to anyone who doesnt know what they are doing..The insides of my car are currently all over the floor and looks like a bombs gone off inside it..lol :shock: I keep hearing phrases like "nah its ok just a big job" ..etc So im remaining panic free..lol Fingers crossed!!!!

Looking to have a full re spray on the PUG. Does anyone know or could recommend a good value workshop who'd get rid of the old rust spots and do a good paint job? Preferably in the Swindon area or thereabouts. Thanks.

Err Yup sherr do.

I tried Hertz and got £194 fully comp with agreed valuation option? on an M plate Vr6

Insurance from these guys (hertz) for £7000 3ltr vr6 Corrado..£194 fully comp Quote for £1200 205gti fully comp with weekend annual mileage!!!!...£252 Errr...can someone explain that one to me??

try Hertz too ... got Fully comp for £195..result!

Well...seems Volks are living up to recent performance..phone call today to say we'll be down on saturday to fix it at the house.. :D Great attitude and service all round.

well..ive checked and its horizontal and is fitted pretty rigid and the booklet doesnt show an adjustment screw. So perhaps a trip to the local ICE shop is called for. Just brushng up on my Greek to interpret the instructions!!

aha ..ok will do... err will that be in the turkish,french,german,italian,russian,swedish or Fijian part of the booklet..or heaven forbid in the english section...lol

With the corrado just purchased came a pioneer cd player.. The quality is ok but it has irritating habit of cutting out every time I go over a bump..(or pedestrian..lol). Its a cx 4000r if that makes any difference. Is there someway of adjusting the sensitivity to shock or is it down to re mounting it in the dash?? help!!

"I have also heard of their being a weakness when changing the direction of air flow whilst on the top fan speed which can lead to seizing, some owners advise that you reduce the speed, change the direction, then increase speed again to cut the strain on the mechanism, not too helpful if you can't alter the fan speed"...quote unquote Well that isnt in the handbook ive checked ha ha ha. :lol: What else should we be aware of...."always stand on one foot with your left elbow in the air when opening the boot"???? or "wink and spin round twice before cleaning it in case you surprise it" !!!!... :lol: Well Volks rang and a very very apologetic John Woods said.."oh shit..right we'll come down and fix it..no ifs no buts. So once again big thumbs up.... :D

Well things are certainly getting interesting.. Volkscars duly turned up yesterday and fixed the ignition problem. :D Today tho the car decided to dump all its water, self kill the interior fan switch so it only works on the No4 setting and seize up the air direction switch so i cant turn it all the way round to the dash vent setting. :x plus it decided the best thing to do was spit the hot steam up through the windscreen air vents when the fans put on.. :( So lets see how they respond to my email from today...have to say im quitely confident they'll come through so fingers crossed...lol Not bad going for my first week of Corrado ownership!!

Would recommend Graham and John from Volks cars for back up service... Bought my Vr6 off them last Friday and developed an ignition switch problem the day after. I live 90miles away so Graham duly drove down here to sort it out. I'd recomend these guys for aftercare..and look out for Graham (nemesis360) on this site hes a good bloke and knows his stuff. Graham...hope you get your VR6 back soon!! RESULT!!

ok the mutts nuts really.. Graham (nemesis360) duly turned on a rainy crappy morning and fixed the car..Drove down from Kinver area (stourbridge) the change the ignition switch. Big thumbs up to these guys...excellent!!!!! Thoroughly recommended

nah I was more relieved to offload the 300zx i had in part ex!!...lol That was prob gonna cost me a fair few quid in the not too distant future so it was more a case of damage limitation..lol The zx was a great car to drive and went like S**t off a stick but when a recon gearbox would cost upwards of £3k!!! (should have seen johns face when i told him that little nugget) and as it was doing about 18mpg it was time to trim the expense a bit..well so the missus said anyway. besides we would'nt be able to get the future babies car seat in the back of the Zed either! Where did you get yours in the end?

Yeah mines the M reg twilight violet one....

as i said saying all the right things but until he turns up???..lol Have to say tho they've been very very apologetic and rang me thorughout the week to try to sort it out. When the prob first raised its ugly head on friday and my 5 month pregnant G/Fr were stuck the mechanic (graham) came out after to work to temporarily fix it. John Woods who deals with the Corrados has been sort the permanent solution since. Seem nice genuine blokes...so fingers crossed

not really..they were gonna pay for the job to be done down here rather than travel 90miles up north. instead they are sending the mechanic to my house to do it which is good.

No i had the purple one with the black leather interior..the green and cream one had gone. he also had a green with black cloth interior and electric recaros for £6495 plus a nice S3 audi.

the audi/vw garage..

Just bought a Vr6 off them...got a prob with the ignition switch which they are supposedly dealing with so I'll let you know how it goes..So far they're saying all the right things but as they say action speaks louder than words so....... Car is in good nick tho and goes like a dream. paid £6995.

gonna give the guys in Melksham a try soon..need a new ignition switch. Sounded up with it on the phone so fingers crossed

surprised they aint stuck in collections somewhere..sounds the one to have.
