  7. Can anyone confirm whether the door handles are the same on any other VW please?
  8. Hi there my corrado is in need of some tlc both inside and out. I bought a DAS pro a while back with the intention of giving it a full detail but that still hasn't happened. Some of the bump strips along the side could do with replacing along with both door handles. Are any of these things available from new? Someone suggested that the door handles are the same as a mk3 golf but I have no idea if this is true?.
  9. I'm going to be rebuilding my g60 auto throttle body soon and wondered if there was any manual that covered this?. It looks straight forwards but fiddly and my mate suggested the throttle and boost return butterfly springs may be pre tensioned. Does anyone know if this is the case?. Thanks.
  10. Has anyone got any experience of these filter kits. Im looking for something to work with my 16vg60 engine in a mk1 golf. Id be interested to know if anyone has used one on a g60 engine and how they found them. Space is tight and im not sure it would physically fit yet but it seems like a much better system than just sitting a cone filter in a heat soaked engine bay.
  11. Thanks mate, any idea why there is an overlap between the temperature s that the fan goes from lo to hi speed?
  12. Hi im looking for a part number for the G60 radiator fan switch if anyone can help?. My local vw parts guy suggested one but it was for a car with aircon. Ive also looked on vagcat and couldnt find one either. Im having a radiator made for a 16vg60 engine so need to give them the thread size of the thermoswitch. Thanks.
  13. Im not having a go here but just spending money on something doesnt instantly change it into what you want as im sure you know. Its a process of evolution over time, trial and error. An expensive one in terms of time and money. After seing your car at a local meet i can understand why you want to return it to a more standard condition as its a very nice example. Yes you trade things off for one another noone in there right mind would build a high power corrado for comfort. I dont agree with all upgrades being compromises though, a well thought out braking system just works better, just like corner weighting and adjusting stiffness between front and rear would improve the balance of the car. Playing around with gear ratios can improve how a car behaves without having any adverse effects if you know what your doing.. A well built engine, using uprated internals and mapped properly with an aftermarket system that can cater for all loads and fuel demands hot and cold set up by a professional isnt a compromise either but this often isnt the case. Internals arent strengthened or checked properly, the cooling system is left standard even though there is a vast amount more heat to deal with and gearboxes are left unchecked and ran with standard diffs. In my mind to do all this properly the car would need to be built from scratch allowing all the sound proofing and heat insulation to be done, wiring looms properly protected and everything stripped and rebuilt where necessary. I think the bottom line is it costs a fortune to get all this right and there is a limit on whats manageable in a FWD chassis like the corrado. Who wants to spend all their time doing this when as has been mentioned you can buy something off the shelf. Its a massive commitement and hugely frustrating when your attempts dont yield the results you were looking for.
  14. Im curious to know how many of the people that have modified their corrado s by fitting big power turbos etc have spent the same time and money uprating their chassis and brakes and getting them all working spot on. It seems that no where near as much time goes into fine tuning suspension settings, corner weighting, gearing etc in compasrison to chasing big numbers. Im not saying noone has done this by any means but there is a large bias towards bhp figures as opposed to setting up everything else properly. You will never change the fact that its an old chassis and I dont pretend to be an expert in any of these fields but id imagine if the same amount of time and money was invested in handling, braking and gearing there would be much more driving pleasure to be had and a lot less breakdowns. If your going to throw a load of power at a gearbox that isnt up to the job its going to leave you pretty disappointed. Just like if your trying to get round corners fast with the suspension and geometry not right. Also how many people have invested in a proper diff with these big power cars? surely that must transform the car somewhat? Just my thoughts after reading through the thread.
  15. In good condition, one mark on the drivers seat at the side but apart from that leather is in good condition. £150 located in TS15. Can email pictures to anyone interested. Would need to be collected due to size and weight or buyer would have to arrange courier.
  16. Front and rear, black and green cloth seats in good condition, no tips tears or burns. £50. Would have to be collected due to size and weight unless you wanted to organise courier. Located in TS15. I can email photos to anyone interested, thanks.
  17. Hi mate I have a pair of seats id be willing to sell, both in good condition just need a good clean. Give me a call on 07754236189
  18. Hi there im going to be investing in a bearing puller for a couple of blind bearings in my gearbox casing. Im going to get a kit that has different sizes to include the right size to remove the only bearing in the g60 supercharger that you cant drive out normally. Can anyone tell me what size puller would do this? Im looking into the slide hammer type pullers, cheers.
  19. Does know if there is a tool currently available for installing/removing the serpentine belt tensioner?. A while back I remember seeing one being sold by someone who had made them out of stainless but cant remember what forum it was on, can anyone help please?. I know the tool isnt essential but they look like a good idea.
  20. Ah right i didnt realise that, thanks. So without having them side by side i guess there is still no way of knowing what your looking at. Is there anyone that would mind measuring their casing for me please as it would mean id know for sure what people are trying to sell me.
  21. Can anyone tell me if there are any visual differences between a corrado G60 90 amp alternator and a 65 amp unit. Ive found someone that has a G60 alternator but cant find any part numbers on it. The seller is under the impression that all corrado G60 alternators were 90 amp which i didnt think was the case?. Is there any easy way to tell one from the other without any part numbers?
  22. As above if anyone can help please.
