Can I also be a complete arse and add cold starts to this? It's purely electrical I'm fairly sure. Last couple of days (in the near zero temps) car hasn't been cranking great. We multimetered the battery whilst running and it read around 14.5 volts. Before starting the engine, it reads around 12.5 Volts. The battery earth is good now, so could this be a wiring or an alternator prob? Maybe the battery needs some distilled water? This might be linked: the strength of my headlights and dash lights fluctuates (kinda flickers a bit)... worn alternator brushes? *hides*

Yan always comes through :lol: :notworthy:

IF the subframes are the same as mk2 (can someone confirm?), you've just tripled your possible sources too! Damn.... maybe we shoulda kept the Jetta for parts? :shock:

This is where i really wish I could get engine shots for pointers!! With regards to tightenening bonnet cable...how? Have been out again but can't see where it should be tightened.

This was already posted up bro, some guy on here had the last one from Germany. Come over, pick up my crane, whip your 'siddy out and we can freshen up your frame right nice! I doubt it'd be dead, prob just needs some TLC.

I was just about to scoff about your rear strut braces, thinking how utterly useless they would be considering the fixed metal panel behind the rear seats (which is way more structural than a brace) and to my surprise the Corrado doesn't have one! Well... you learn something new every day! :lol:

11 seems to point to a rubber bush? :-) Yes yoiu are quite right. For Vagcat, you need to pay attention to the coloured sections in the list and COMPLETELY IGNORE the grey section lines. They are useless. I got caught out with that a lot trying to find the right part number! 11 is ringed purely cos I can't use MS Paint properly :lol:

Does anyone know the "acting" diameter of this bar? I'm just thinking perhaps Neuspeed rear 25 with a VAG front 23? To keep it the same rate, the rear would have to be ~20mm for the uprating to a Front 23 and Rear 25mm to be the same rate (27% increase in diameter) overall.

FIrst refusal? :lol: Cheers for the other info, it does make a lot of sense. on an suspension-related tip, does anyone know how hard it is to press poly bushes into wishbones? Could I do it on a bench-mounted clamp? I will look at the eibachs though, thanks :thumbleft:

Here's the screen from VAGCAT, highlighted: arbs.JPG[/attachment:2xuzkgvb] I will see if I can find someone who will sell only rear ARBs... is there any way of getting the stock rear ARB out of the torsion bar, or is it properly integrated? Cheers Cheesey :D Edit: Awesome do the Rear 25mm for £155.

I don't think I'm a good enough driver to be able to tell the difference between the ARBs affecting the turn-in etc. Although I do like the sound of oversteer as opposed to understeer....is there any benefit to dialling in more oversteer with a big front bar? Also, am i right in thinking that uprating both ARBs the same amount will keep the car's balance the same as standard, only stiffer?

No-one has _anything_ to say? :shock: Fair enough... VW DO indeed make a 23mm ARB for ~£100 all in (must be the G60/VR6 one) and seeing as my 16v one is ratty and only 18mm I think I will buy it. Did anyone else know about this? I don't know what diameter the Eibach / Weitecs are but this one is a VAG part. Also, Flourescent green arbs on a dark purple car? :pukeleft:

this does the speedo and sends a signal to the spoiler module behind the dash by the light switch. so there's NO speedo cable? if someone can clear this up for me it will save a LOT of time! :lol: :(

Don't listen to the hater. Do what you wanna do :lol:

Yeah, it's prob wiring matey. FOund a second alarm behind the dash and a bunch of butchered loom :shock: but i'll rip it all our and re-wire at some point 8)

moon discs are never hideous.

and what does this do, is it the speedo? Will check the wire though, thanks.

oh, see now we just gotta know about the Notch incident?

sweet! cheap birthday present! Cazza, I hope you have got your boy a Tiny Tikes car or a go kart or something! I remember have a kart, it was the best thing...

And why is it called a Rocket?

Sciroccos are the prequel of Cs aren't they?

Ooohhh hoh ohohohohohoho, Project! I love mk2s of any kind. Keep it for sure.

I know what you mean. If my loan hadn't come through in Jan, I would prob still have a Mk2 Jetta sitting on the drive! :lol!: I do love it though, I'm not sure I could ever buy a car that didn't need work doing!

Aha. That's strange then, cos aren't cable change boxes supposed to be "sloppier" (for want of a better word) than rod change boxes?

Good point. Cazza, maybe get a swimming pool for the kids, but fill it with swarfega instead of water?
