Another corrado being saved, awesome stuff :)

Ok thats good then. Yeah i kno the car is originally a 1.8 16v, but I have put the 2.0 16v in because the 1.8 blew, now the bottom end is rattling on the 2.0l! So just want anything there that will work.

Hello, just wondering if its possible to put a 2.0l 16v head onto a 1.8l 8v block? the block is from a mk2 golf and head a later corrado. Any help or advise is great! Thanks, Stuart

Just wondering if anyone can help me. Both my door handles have broke on my corrado, but unfortunately its not that part that can be supplied by daves_16v, its another part which has cracked that cant be bought. I have been looking for some new door handles and was hoping there was some out there that don't have the barrels as i hve never used them because of the toad full closure alarm thats on it. Does any body know if i can get some from some where, or weather mk3 golf rear door handles would fit on it? Any help would be great, thanks, Stuart.

Cheers mate very appreciated.

Sounds like you havd the same problem as me! opened up fine one day then decided it didn't want to close! Now it works whenever it wants to. Thanks i will clean the contacts on mine aswell!

I bought a full set of those recaro's from a lady who was breaking a corrado for £150 including the loom and door cars to match! Dont quite think she knew how much they were worth!! Mind you neither did I til now!

Hello, just ondering if anyone can help me out on how to remove the instrument panel on my corrado? I have a new one to go in ther with the later type red needles, but last time i removed one from a mk2 golf it didnt come out in one piece! Any help is great! Thanks

Hello, didnt know which section to post this in so will try this one. My fog lights are not working on my corrado, just wondering if anyone would know what this could be? I have checked the obvious, the bulbs, the fuse is fine and i have bough a switch and still nothing. Hope some one can help as the mot is coming up soon! any help is very appreciated, thanks, Stuart.

Hello, I have just bought a flip key from http://www.keysforvw.com, i have had it cut which all works great, but I have a toad alarm and was wondering if I could get the flip key coded to work my toad alarm? I was wondering if anyone knows wether toad themselves would do this for me? thanks for any help! stuart.

yeah i have 7.5" fronts and 9" on the back. the back really are huge compared to the front!

nah you shouldnt sell it, people who say that about corrado's have no taste. they a good looking cars. "they dont make them like they used to" etc!

thanks alot for the comments, yeah i do love it, every keeps tellin me to sell it but its the best lookin dub i have had. keeps going wrong but i still love her! thanks for the insurance link, il look that up tonight

lots of reasons i guess, one being i have written off a car (dont worry not a dub, a clio!) which was 5 days after passing my test! also im 19, with no no claims because i could never afford to go on my own, until i gota new job a few months ago! i think my annual premium is £2500 if i remember right! but i didnt have a choice cos it was the cheapest i could find and i had just bought the car! it is a blood rip off though..

thanks torsten. i hope so its been off the road about two months now and it's killing me it being just sat there, while im paying £250 a month insurance! lol

ok thats great, il try it tomorrow with the passengers! yeah your fronts look wicked. mine almost looks odd imo with 9 on the back and 7.5 up front, but will have to wait to get some 9"! thanks aot for the help.

ok thanks, would i be able to use the loom out of my other corrado though the k plate one? its also mine so wont have no trouble gettin hold one one but will it fit? thanks. nice car btw, did the 9" borbets fit ok on the front? i have the 7.5" on mine, but would prefer the 9"!

hello, am looking for some advise, i have some electric reacro seats for my corrado (J plate) which are out of a K plate corrado. Will my car have the loom for these seats or will I need the loom for them out of the other? Any help or advise will be great, thanks

Just a couple of pictures of my corrado, since i washed it the other day!! It has been sat about two months now, due to engine failure, but will hav her running again by next saurday with a bit of luck! All comments welcome! (oh and a pic of the engine about to go in her!)

yeah I have recently joined the kr headgasket club! just a warning, when i changed mine the waterways in the head had been son badly worn away i am now having to replace the engine, so keep an eye out! good luck on it!

thanks to both of you for the help, it's a 1.8 16v engine, same as the original. would that pose any problems it bein a bit later engine, electric wise etc?

Just need some advise really...I have a J reg corrado, and have bought a K reg one for the engine as a donor. Will there be any problems with this, being that the K reg is a bit more updated etc? Any help would be great, thanks alot.

Hello hope someone can help me, the head gasket has just been changed on my corrado 1.8 16v, and now there is no spark. Is there anyone that could tell me wat this could be? Or any suggestions? Any help would be great, Thanks.

Here is my Corrado, I last showed pictures of the car when first bought it, and so I thought i'd show some now I have just about finished with it. Hopefully everyone likes the changes as much as I do, the first pics are of it when I first bought it. Please leave comments!!! Thanks, Stuart.

Does anyone know where i could get porsche wheel adapters to fit 5 x 130 porsche fitment to my 4 studded 16v Corrado? Got my eye on a set that I really like, but thought id get the knowledge from you guys first! Thanks alot for any help. Stuart
