Finally got everything up and running no leaks YEAH!!!! I just don't understand one thing I put the 160 degree thermostat in and unless my gauge is off I am still running way over 160 degrees anyone have any ideas

thanks I guess I will have to pick one up then cause is is spitting water.

What is the part that is circled in red? She is leaking coolant right there at the T. I was wondering if a leak there would make my car run poorly cause it sure is and thats the only think I can find wrong. It is spitting and sputtering real bad

the MAF is right behind the air box. it is the only sensor on the air intake. when I get home I will take some pictures and post them for you.

I don't think its a cracked housing but i will double check tomorrow when i take it off again.

I would but mine is really in good shape no need for another one. I think what happen was I did not let the RTV cure long enough and I may have not tightened the bolts properly so the housing may have not seeded right. Tomorrow I will get it all taken care up. But I will keep you in mind if I get pissed and throw it across the driveway and I need to get a new one!!!

Changing my thermostat on the corrado has proven to be more of a chore then I expected. That thing is leaking like crazy. I changed the seal and RTVed the hell out of it and still it leaks anyone have any Ideas. I will post pictures and directions online as soon as I get her all buttoned up so if anyone else wants to take the challenge of thermostat changing they will at least have pictures to follow if they cant read LOL!!!

Mine actually was a pretty easy fix my MAF plug had gotten loose somehow. It looked like it was plugged in but it really wasn't I plugged it in and vroom vroom she prrrrrrrrs like a kitten

Where the throttle cable hooks to the throttle body (and I will put a picture up later. cant right now working) there is what appears to be a plunger that holds the throttle in place at idle. Fist off what is that part called? Second mine I believe is going bad cause I cant adjust my idle any lower then 1500rpm and then sometimes it drops to under 800rpm it very irregular. Does anyone have any advise?

Thanks guys I got ahold of my VW dealer and got the hook up!!!!

Does anyone know where I can get a screw kit for the interior of car?? I took it apart a few months ago and as you can guess screws, nuts and bolts are coming up missing!! I want to put it back together this week but need those damn screws LOL!!!

hey can someone give me the part number for the stock wiper arms? I just want the stock arms for now since i rarely drive the car in the rain. Can anyone help me out? Also would any arms from a VW work i.e. a jetta golf any of those

I am looking for some new wiper arms for my corrado. Is there one specific type I need or will any arm for a vw work?

it only over revs in 5th and i have no idea if the clutch is original but i highly doubt it. the clutch works fine so i don't think that is it. i think it is the clutch or the gear box. the shifter feels like it is in neutral no matter if it is in gear or not. so i think it is the gearbox myself. can anyone tell me how to get the shifter out so i can put a short shift in. also i need some recomendations on a good short shifter.
