tthat sounds abit too easy. :lol: so once the roofs in situation etc and ive sorted that out i can easily get the inner sunroof cover that covers up the underside of the sunroof in place easily? chears matey simon

right basicly my sunroof mechanisms turnd up today 8) and ive noticed that the sunroof lid (part that you can see outside colour coded to your car) comes away from the mechanisms, but as i was removing it it all slid about...... :( oh no i thought, looks like im going to have fun to try and align all this up i said to my self. so my question is... is there an easy way of aligning the actual lid part of the roof onto the mechanism? how should it sit? im a newbie to these corrados and still learning as i go along. thanks alot, and i apoligise again for bringing another dreaded sunroof question up.. if there is alink to this then please forward it to me and also give me a slap. chears simon

also make sure they dont leave windscreen sealent appearing on the inside of the glass, they fittd one on a corrado for me b4 and it seaped through, you could see it in the corner of the screen, as said above, make sure they go round and check your car b4 and sign a sheet before work starts. simon

orderd my track rod ends 8quid ish each, and the new locknut nuts 30p each, thought i may aswell get them as sods law ill round them off completly. at that price i thought what the heck. chears guys. p.s. if anyone else is after the lock nuts then they are still avalible from vdub only, but arnt that expensive as stated above :D chears simon

fitted mine today fingers crossed will sort the problem, simon

WOW!! i just came online now to check the exact same problem out! i thought i would be struggling, ANDY G, when it eventualy fires up after foot to the floore does it kind of splutter then it runs ok? mine has exact same symptons just when it does fire up it splutters a tad then runs spot on, mine has only done it a handfull of times not all the time. thanks simon

what price where they? and did you get it from the dealers?

i rang him up a while back after some info on a few g60's he seemd a bit vague, and got the ars abit saying he was on road test and to ring back when he wasnt as busy............ :? chears i thought, so i left it for a few hours rang him again, no answer. rang the house number it gave on the ad... took a while but i think he then got fed up with the phone ringing and decided to answer it, very ignorent i thought and his phone manners are very apoorling. in the end i got fed up with trying to get back in touch with him i looked else where simon

oh yea, also what is the correct tracking settings on a G60, its been lowerd approx 40mm (ish) simon

hi there, went to get the tracking done on the G60 earlier but the lad down there struggled to get the locknut of as it was seized on, so i went away and freed it of as much as possible but he still struggled, so im going down to get new track rod ends on monday as they arnt expensive anyway, but the locknut that locks it on to the track rod arm has seen better days, looks like someone has slipd a few times with the spanner, so where can i get the locknut from? i would prefer it if i can replace them aswell as i can see me spending a few hours on it on monday with the molegrips and i think i will knacker them up. chears simon

soon i shall be after some new shoes for the G60, i have 15's on at the moment and personaly i think they look a tad to small so i have been looking at borbet A's. what sizes can you get these in, the thing is, i use it as my everyday car, and in the past ive had many of cars with big wheels extremly low profile tyres and scrapes over every bump, get a "heavy" mate in and scrubs so my question is: what wheels are people running? size tyres? and what can size can i get away with so it doesnt scrape when you get a heavy fella in the back and without arch mod. does the borbet a fit the picture? chears simon

also if u use brand new lowering springs, it will sit at a height for a while untill the springs "settel" so bare this in mind when you lower as after a few weeks it will sit a tad more lower (prob nothing noticable by the eye)

oh rite, yea its a late g60 1992 (k reg) so it wont store any engine faults? i got it on the fault machine at work and it said something about it has only gives out codes in a flash code, but i was struggling to find what to do to get a flash code. simon

right then been reading up on this vagcom thing, im used to the obd testers etc but i searched for the vagcom stuff on here and they said its located under the center consol (where it says "karman") lifted that up no problem at all, found all the gear linkage parts etc but cudnt find any 16pin normal "OBD" diagnostic port, all i could find where two little wiring plugs (a couple of wires each) these seamed to be secured. do i need a special lead to connect to these? or should i find the 16pin diagnostic port ? as much help as possible on this please as i wouldnt mind knowing any fault codes (if any fingers crossd) that are stored, chears simon

mines like that too! i think its cool as stated above i dont get leg troubles either unlike previous cars. i have just had the throttle sticking all of a suden though, it feals like the cable is this a sort of common fault? simon

cool chears dude! whos is that? i unforuntetly need spacers on it as i have the G60 brakes do you know if he has spacers on etc? simon

what sort of oil is it running on? has it got cheap oil in? overdue oil change? ive had it before where ive skimpt on oil brands and found the car runs hotter, just a thought? hope you get it fixd soon mate! simon

ok cool! so as he is supplying it all as one if the motor is wrong i can unbolt mine and bolt my motor on to the new mechanism? chears for the reply mate! simon

i have got a brand new set of ats cups that i aquired for my golf mk1 cabriolet, but i tryed them on the rear of the corrado and i just loved the look of them on it so i want to put them on, only thing is i need 15mm spacers for them to fit on the front as the ats cups spokes sit in quite far and foul on the caliper, i have orderd a set of 15mm hubcentric spacers as these are apparently the best spacers to buy as i hate spacers anyway and will try not to use them if possible, the question is has anybody had cups on a corrado? simon

tryd searching this but it brings up that many pages lol i have a k reg g60 with the dreaded sunroof problem, ive been offerd one complete but i dont know how to tell if i have the late or early type mechanism? any visably way i can tell? chears simon

so if you just trim of the perished part it wont leak water inside? (may be a stupid question haha)

mine look abit old, well the strips are ok, but it looks like it should have like a little seal either side? these have perished abit are these avalible? also how much? chears simon

yes it is as it needs to be connected to the block for it to pick up the pinking vibrations. simon also i could do with ETKA but dont no where to get hold of it? any one know how? could you pm me please thanks

ive got a black cap, ive notice alot of people change these for the blue ones? any reason why? also what sort of price? if its a common fault thing id rather swop it now then later on. chears simon

:( no problem now, i found it, ... went to pull it as it must have been kinked when i straightend it, a whole load of black crud came whoosing down my arm, as my hand was wedged inbetween the bumper i cudnt pull it out quick enough so i got coverd, :lol: now that ones clear i will check in the morning to see if they work fine now so fingers crossd no more wet roof lining! :D chears for the help!
