I changed my chains at 126K miles, change them as the top guide had a crack in it, the other guides were in pretty good condition, cost me £256 inc VAT for all chain related parts from a VW stealers. The chains were not noisey before changing, just changed everything for piece of mind and it only took me a weekend to do the lot including fitting of a 10 row oil cooler ready for work on the Monday :) Matt

Doesn't look like there going to sell for that price, especially at this time of year

I started a thread in the wiki section in April for reviews on Corrados reviews, heres the link http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=91751 Matt

Must of been abit didgy then, as I can't find the thread creator in the members section.

Just been on Edition38 and saw this advert from a chap in Ipswich offering lowcost powerflex bushes, thaught i would post it on here :) Matt link below http://www.edition38.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=340954

I have welded a 2mm steel skid plate to the bottom of the sump, working well so far, i'm also in the process of making a shallower sump so the it will sit above the subframe. Matt

Hi, Does anyone know the mass flow rate of the standard radiator fans? Cheers Matt

I found Burton performance to be the cheapest for snadwich plates and oil cooler radiators.

I've just got back this morning fom the ring, had an awsome time. only did four laps this time €75 for a 4 lap ticket :D

Cheers guys, I poped over to Burton power and got one for £42.49 Matt

Does anyone know where I can get a VR6 thermostatic oil sandwich plate on a Saturday in the Essex/Hertfordshire/Suffolk area? Is there anything specific about the VR6 sandwich plate, or are they the same others e.g. Ford Cheers Matt

Thats a pretty good link, loads of info about the corrado and some good pics aswell :D

zerocool, Could I have one please if you have any left. Matt

Same with me, never had a bad experience, below is a pic of the quality of the lip cut for reference. Matt http://s139.photobucket.com/albums/q282/twr_photos/?action=view&current=Picture012.jpg&newest=1

Hers a link to a screen shot of what you are after. Matt http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q282/twr_photos/288discinfo-1.jpg

One thing to bear in mind is that when you bore out the cylinders, your taking material away, so the wall thicknes between the cylinder and engine cooling Jacket will become thinner and will be more susceptible to warping under the combustion pressure. I would personally keep asclose to OEM bore so that you could re-bore in the furure if needed. Matt

This picture should help, the plates are the same outer shape without the C2 logo cut ito them. Matt

This might help http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=91757 Matt

Just out of curiosity, what fails inside the sensor? Matt

Which solid lines do you need to replace?

oooooo dear :eek: , how did that happen

If the car is fully road legal, drive it up, cost of a tank and a train back or even fly into southend. just a thaught as that is what i have done before. Matt

I can get a spindle from C2 motorsports to fit both OEM and aftermarket plates.

When/If he pays you, send him a model corrado in the post. :lol:

Hi, I'm looking for some advice on what size oil cooler and thermostat temp to go for on my VR6. My current oil temps are good at 90-102 motorway cruising depending on speed, in traffic I can somethimes see 106-108degC (I haven't sat in 22degC + ambiant air temp yet). At some time in the future I will upgrade: cams, remap, exhaust and inlet manifolds & pacet slim radiator fans and I can see the oil temp getting quite hot, as I plan to do a couple of trackdays and other events. I will be keeping the OEM heat excahanger for initial heating of the engine oil, on engine warm up, and using the additional heat exchanger for cooling at the higher running temperatures. I am currenlty looking at 10 row 235mm & 13row 235mm heat exhangers connected to a thermostatic plate with either a 80degC or 92degC thermostat in and I'm just wanting some pointers as to choosing the right configuration for my current/future setup. Also if anyone has a current setup, what temps do you see on track with similar modifications? Cheers Matt
