lol, so its like £300 for the air con gear, and then labour of 40 hours PMSL um would anyone on here like to help me add it if and when i need to? and how much for? :D

Is it possible to add air con to say a VR6 now? I see DiaVia kits mentioned? these were presumably the dealer fit ones that were optional extras at sale time? but is it possible now? and how much would it cost? thanks :)

christ that nuts :lol: well i though on the checklist it said parts are circa £200?? so labour cant be that much can it? what 5 hours tops? i looked in the for sale section and couldnt see any threads by foggy? EDIT: ok cool thanks

thank you, just what i wanted to hear :) how much are the chains and work thats normally carried out with it? e.g. waterpumps, clutches, aux/fan belts etc? just so i know what to bargain with! anyone know of a leather, air con VR6 for sale? (preferably in the northern half of the country lol) still cant decide if the engine was for me though, as i live in edinburgh, getting the revs up high isnt easy! are the VR6s ok in traffic / around town? edit: have you got a link to foggys one? or is it in the for sale section

Well i went to see it, and drove it a bit, on the motorway a wee bit too. very nice condition overall, checked what i could remember from the checklist, and on the drive everything seemed ok. the interior is decent, though the gear stick felt loose? or perhaps its just a very smooth gear linkage (compared to my current 306 anyway) the fan dial just span round not connected, but air did blow out and the temperature worked, so probably an easy fix. no air con, which was a shame. no leather interior, black cloth with little red? specs here n there, but nice condition. had 10 previous owners, and been with the current owners for 7 years. timing chain has never been changed (1995 reg, 127 000 miles), so i think thats not too good! but the guy seemed ok. car had quite a rough idle, but not erratic. quite long brake pedal travel? dunno if its normal, but stopped well enough! with no judders etc clutch replaced recently and new tyres. so is it over priced from that? £5k sounds too high to me, they would accept 4500, but its only been on sale 4 days, and i was the 3rd person to look and make a lower offer (the others were also about £4k) the red was stunning, very very good. similar to lancia integrale red if you've seen it in the flesh :) still dont know if i want one. at low speeds the engine felt a little uncomfortable and not that quick. it was at higher speeds / revs that it got more fun. think i would need to drive another, or perhaps a G60 which supposedly has its power down low. its tricky as my current car is a 306 HDi, which is clearly very different to the VR6 think im more confused over what to do now, that i was before seeing it! any thoughts? :)

oof, thank god! otherwise i was considering not getting one - bit heat senstive lol so its not common but is out there, ok cool. thanks :)

thanks, thats what i was thinking. do any corrados have air con at all?

Thanks for the quick replies, must be right about the forum! Il take a look in the knowledge base, cheers. wow crikey, lots of info on that wiki page - il arrive with a book to greet the seller :D il post the ad of the car, perhaps you can give some advice, or you may well know the seller. its on at £5k which sounds rather high?? Link sortened - Andi

Hi all, This is my first post, so hello! 8) Im trying to find out everything I can about Corrados as Im very interested in getting one. Im going to look at one for sale in Edinburgh tonight (thats where im based). So im after the main quirks, common faults, things to look for / avoid, that kinda thing. Then how expensive are they to run? its the VR6, 2.9 version im looking at so some ideas of prices / parts, how do you go about valuating one? and any general info would be great! oh and do any of them have aircon? and whats the difference between a VR6 and a STORM VR6? Parkers wasnt much use! thanks a lot, looks like a great webiste here! :D Chris / Gunswick
