have a look here http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?90798-Corrado-Workshop-Manual-Scans 60nm then 1/4 turn if i remember correctly, but ide check manual above to be safe...

i had the same thing. what i done was change insurance to new car so you can benefit from no claims. i then got a seperate "off-the-road policy" ( cant remember what they called it now) to cover corrado which was dirt cheap and alot cheaper then insuring both

looking good john:thumbleft: better get off here and go put mine back together LOL ps sent that head gasket to you today

yes it will fit http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-GOLF-MK2-MK3-CORRADO-1-6-1-8-G60-GTI-SUMP-PAN-GASKET-C395-/190854031876?hash=item2c6fc96a04

the seal should be bonded to the glass. it isnt available seperately im afraid. stu - autoglass

no problem like to help if i can :thumbleft:

vw heritage list them https://www.vwheritage.com/search/?act=search.searchResults&sType=quick&maxDisplayRows=15&searchText=window+scraper+seal+for+Corrado&btnSearch= one side anyway, give them a call :thumbleft:

new tank straps ide suggest, mine were beyond painting :thumbleft:

my one did however tight i done it up the rack it still moved slightly. i fitted a poly one which solved the problem. i didnt have as bigger issue as described above tho just a little bit of movement that was minor but annoying

im surprised no one has started buying up standard lights and tinting them to sell on they allways go quick! any volunteers? im after a set..

no filter on any corrado boxes

you can get away with just using a normal bolt and using a prybar to hold at correct tension while doing it up. i snapped mine once and done this until i found one

not quite yet as my engines still in pieces, but would be interested in the future.:thumbleft:

got a few coats of gloss on today. its taking shape... [ATTACH=CONFIG]81677[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]81678[/ATTACH] parts sent for powdercoating too... also bought a stainless exhaust manifold... [ATTACH=CONFIG]81679[/ATTACH] might actually be able to start re-assembly soon :dance:

i had this happen when the u clamp that holds rack to the subframe wasnt done up tight enough. the rack can move slightly. i tightened them up and it solved the problem

im from claydon, you work at wolsey then?

i see you have corrado ocd aswell LOL awesome work mate:thumbleft:

welcome ill keep an eye out for you!
